deeveedee Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Sequoia Beta 5 update proceeded unattended on my HackMini8,1. Booting with Open Core 1.0.1. Not using OCLP. I'm dual-booting Sonoma and Sequoia, so I'm currently booting Sonoma when I need to revise my EFI. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robi62 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Max.1974 Donators 1.4k Gender: Male Location: Brazil - Paraná Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Thanks and important to said that its not works again until restart if you try use some app to open or close EFI. I thinks that exist some solution when boot in recovery mode like csrutil authenticated-root clear or some better command Works to me close all programs an run again command after type in terminal: KillAll Finder Then you can root again: sudo -i Then run your original EFI with this commands mkdir /Volumes/efi sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk4s1 /Volumes/efi disk4s1 is my original Nvme it works thank you Max.1974 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish_Man Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 5 hours ago, eSaF said: Mounting the EFI Partition is not the problem. The Partition is mounted ok, it just does not appear on the Desktop as an icon like before. Another peculiar thing I just found with this Beta along the same lines, USB Drives are also a no show unless it has a formatted EFI Partition. I have several USB Storage Drives as well as various OS installers. The USB installers show up when plugged in but the others do not. I know they are mounted because when removing them without the procedure, the usual popup 'Disk Not Ejected Properly' message is displayed. I don't know if this is unique to my machine but I am not enjoying this Beta one bit so far which invites another stern Report to Tim Apple. PS - I have to add although the formatted USB drives do show, the mounted partition of these drive also do not show on the Desk Top. You are not alone. Same thing happens on my rig. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matgen84 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Hi @eSaF and all Hackintoshers About EFI not showning up, I've found explanations beyond my competence on electiclight.co: "Apple has been using FSKit as a Private Framework since it first appeared in macOS 14.0. It’s used in the open source of MSDOSFS" "The implementations of the exfat and msdos file systems on macOS have changed; these file systems are now provided by services running in user-space instead of by kernel extensions.” "Reading between the lines, Apple is now transitioning secondary file systems away from kernel extensions, so they run in user space. First volunteer has been the MSDOS file system, which started to transition in macOS Ventura 13.0, and has completed its journey in Sonoma 14.0. Those wishing to implement support for other file systems can now do so, with limited features perhaps in macOS 14.0, and full support coming in Sequoia." 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivermota Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Hello! Make the EFI mount with the terminal, only with it. You can eject and mount it whenever you want The EFI partition appears normally in the Finder and on the desktop follow the commands below diskutil list sudo su - mkdir /Volumes/efi sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/efi 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue: unable to see mounted EFI partition in the Finder (not only Desktop). I have the same problem as @miliuco for the EFI partition mounting in Sequoia: not seeing it in Finder. The disks where macOS sonoma and sequoia are installed are showing up as synthesized when running diskutil in terminal, so the EFI is shown separately as some of you pointed out in earlier posts. First I have to figure out which EFI I need to mount in terminal. Edited August 6 by jlrycm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) Now here is a golden opportunity for the clever coders out there to make an app implementing the Terminal commands (mentioned above) for the 'Not so savvy Terminal user' plus it would simplify the process for me. Thanks to our friend @olivermota for the clear Guide above. I can mount and see the EFI Partition (hello old friend).

ohsnap Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 This bug with the EFI (fat16) is also affecting fat32 partitions. I have a 2GB fat32 partition that I use to transfer random files between Windows and macOS and it's gone on the mac side with beta 5. It remained pinned on the side panel but it's not visible/mounted in /Volumes any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
