[pre-release] macOS Big Sur in VMWare

@Slice I will do once I got it to work on my RMBP Mid 2014. Unfortunately the upgrade failed. Boot did freeze on the loading bar after GPU drivers initialization. Fresh install of Big Sur does stop booting there as well. Not sure why.

I have Big Sur on my MacBook Pro 2013 late 15inch, but Darwin dumper does this weirdly..even having ran sudo spctl --master-disable.

Using it right now on my Mac Mini

 

It needs some polishing most definately

 

I dislike the roundness in the drop-down menus in the menubar

 

I also found a bug

 

Disabling SIP makes it so the recovery partition does not boot, meaning that when I disable it reenabling it will require me to break-out a restore USB drive

1. I want Clover.

2. Look for a file /EFI/CLOVER/misc/EfiCalls.log

 

Is there anybody with real Mac can provide DarwinDumper report (yes, make it private!) with the new system?

here's the output of darwindumper from my MacBook

Hello,

 

I am sorry that I might be unable to help, if OpenCore fails to load kexts...

 

PMheart

Of course i meant for Clover users, i know that OpenCore shouldn’t have that problem and i use OpenCore anyway

Same here. Presumably it will only show up if you have a supported Mac. Try changing your SMBIOS if necessary.

I see they drop support for 2012 (Ivy Bridge) and HD 4000 graphics

Yeah. However on macrumors some did successfully install Big Sur on their pre-retina 2012 Macbook Pro with HD4000 with the only issue being non-functional WiFi.

Transport route / bus doesn't matter. KEXT family does. Network KEXTs are deprecated since Catalina and likely unsupported in Bug Sur. Apple's network drivers have partially transitioned to DEXTs with Catalina already.

 

Wrong. The kernel API for network **filter** is deprecated. Network hardware drivers are not. With the exception of usb network drivers (as any other usb driver).

Graphics probably not fully accelerated too. Next big updated will take away support from 2013-2014 and we will not have wifi at all. All the Hackintoshes use 2013-2014 wifi chips, that is if 10.16 is even hackintoshable? I don't think with current FakeSMC or VirtualSMC anyway


As far as the reports go, I would say that the graphics are fully accelerated unless I understand you wrong, However, regarding to Wifi: Yeah, it seems that Apple completely dropped brcm4360

Hmm.. Really? None of the supported macs use brcm4360? As far as I know it has been used in MacBook pros, MacBooks, iMac, not just iMac 2013-14 models? I hope you are wrong.

 

Is there any good option to replace it with and that will be 100% compatible with all the Bluetooth features in macOS?

Ok so 2012 Macs use BCM4360... and BCM4331..., and 2013/14 are using BCM94360... and BCM94331... I don't think it's the same chip as you probably noticed number 9 in there. For now people on macrumors cannot get 2012 wifi chips to work and probably never will.

About Wifi bad news, apple has dropped also AirPortBrcm4360 driver

I guess the 94360 ones are using the BrcmNIC driver which was introduced in High Sierra I believe, whereas the 4360 ones are using the brcm4360 driver which indeed is reported as being removed from the IO80211Family.kext plugins

Edit: My late 2012 mac mini seems to have the BCM94331PCIEBT3AX

I think it's about N type card will only be supported from now on. Will see anyway.
