surenmunoo Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Mine shows the upgrade and runs through the install process but on reboot it shows the mackintosh update disk but it reboots on the normal Monterey disk and then shows its updating for 10 minutes. It restarts into Monterey but has not updated to beta 8. I am using SMBIOS 7.1. ***Edit*** made another EFI with 0.7.4 and still did not work, only installed after changing SMBIOS to 17.1 and now install completed Edited September 30, 2021 by surenmunoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should help to update without changing smbios 🙂 Thanks for the info, this are very good news for future updates.

I just have to try it (after updating Big Sur 😂 ), yes I think there are no problems Yes Bro, made an install USB drive and used on a test drive to install Beta 8 and all worked out well, so I would say Apple fixed the bug that prohibited making an install USB stick for Beta 7. One more thing, the install USB Drive and install after was made with a 19.1 SmBIOS I didn't have to change to a 17.1 and all went perfect.

One of the first features of RestrictEvents (previous to AMD CPUs brands strings) has to do with MacPro7,1 SMBIOS on Intel machines, to fix misconfigured RAM warnings and memory tab in About this Mac. @antuneddu @eSaF It seems that this new RestrictEvents spoofs iMac19,1 to Software update.

miliuco Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) @antuneddu @eSaF I was using it for a year since I have MacPro7,1 SMBIOS.

Ok - I guess anything to aid us to smooth install/update is most welcomed. Anyway peeps, I am going missing for a couple of hours, I need to take a power nap after the last few days of downloading and installing OS X and Win 11, I am exhausted and weary, I have yet to update BS but I will leave that until later when I am rested. You know at my age I need frequent ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzssssss. - Later. Edited September 30, 2021 by eSaF 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion71au Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) During the upgrade from Monterey Beta7 to Beta8, final boot into the OS stalled at graphics initialization stage on my Skylake NUC6i5SYH (iMac17,1 SMBIOS, Intel Iris Graphics 540). Fixed by adding boot argument agdpmod=vit9696 for WhateverGreen in OC config.plist 😀... Spoiler Edited September 30, 2021 by fusion71au 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
