Hi guys, I'm trying to start Big Sur unsuccessfully.
I installed Big Sur DP2 on SSD via Vmware without problems, then I tried to install OpenCore following this tutorial:

however I noticed that as it starts it hangs on:

 

Spoiler

 


[PCI configuration end, bridges ..., devices ...]
I don't remember the values, as soon as I have a moment of time I write them down (if I remember correctly, it should be bridges 17 and device 13 or vice versa)

I'm starting it all up via USB.
What can it depend on? Do you know how to help me?

My configuration:
- i7 8700k
- Asrock Fatal1ty Z370 Professional Gaming i7
- AMD RX580 8GB Nitro

Was busy with other stuff, work and otherwise, but now finally had the time to install macOS Big Sur Beta -- namely, what appears to be its latest DP6 Build/version - latest as of Sept 7th 2020.

 

Like often done in previous years with older Betas, I used an older, working VM - I installed it on top of older VM with macOS 10.13 High Sierra on it. :) 

Somehow, despite adding more RAM to the VM (actually, was fine with 3.2 GB using under 2 GB of that RAM but still upped to 4.1 GB, just in case) and adding 3 CPU cores to make them FOUR, the macOS 10.16 Big Sur Beta VM is laggy & slow at times, sometimes freezing for 3-4+ minutes doing certain actions before "unfreezing" on its own. When it is not frozen, it works well/fast.

Any ideas why this is, and how to fix, if at all possible?

 

Using a desktop PC with Intel Core i5 4-core CPU (Ivy Bridge), 32 GB of DDR3 RAM (with lots of RAM free), Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, ver 2004 Host OS. The GPUs on this PC are Intel GPU (CPU built-in), plus AMD Radeon RX 480 (if that matters).

Big Sur Beta Guest OS is running on VMware Workstation Pro 15 latest version i.e. 15.5.6. macOS Unlocker is 3.0.2 or something like that, VMware Tools in VM are latest too.

Extra question -- if I update from macOS Big Sur Beta DP6 I have now to a newer Build, say DP7 or 8, will it fail same way Catalina Betas did last year in 2019?

If so, how to "rescue" the broken Big Sur Beta? Can I use a 2nd working macOS VM, like last year?

Does anybody here have fixed, Prelinked Kernel downloads like last year? :worried_anim:

Asking here too:

----

Using VMware Workstation 15.5.6, latest macOS Unlocker on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS. Old Intel Core i5 CPU (4 cores/4 threads), 32 GB RAM with lots of it free.

Trying to update from older DP6 Beta to latest DP8/PB4 Beta of macOS Big Sur, but VMware Workstation is currently stuck at Apple logo with progress done to around maybe 1/5th, 1/6th of the progress bar/100%, and won't move any further.

Like last year with the Catalina Betas, I assume/presume this is due to missing pre-linked Kernel issues?

 

Can somebody here give the per-linked kernel files for latest Big Sur DP8/PB4 Beta, please? :|

Along with steps on how to use an older/working Recsue VM to rescue the failing VM running the Big Sur Beta update?
