Any USB Port Limit removal patch for Beta 2?

RehabMan’s kext still works.

@Cyberdevs Yeah, I think so, too!  Thanks for the info! Didn't know that.

 

Quick question (to everyone): do you guys also experience delays showing the Volume and Wifi/Network controls in the menubar? Meaning you click the icon aaand..wait. :)) Not a lot. Only a few seconds or so. But it's not instantaneously like it was with Catalina and pretty much every other MacOS version I've tried before that.

 

I suppose this could also be a bug somewhere, but it doesn't occur with my MBP so...I guess it's probably specific to our "custom" setup. I'm only curious if anyone else encountered this issue.

I had that delay in the menu bar when my wifi was not functioning. After getting wifi working it’s as quick as ever.

You're welcome man,

Yeah the delay happens to me as well, the first beta was way more responsive but the second beta is laggy, to be honest I was really impressed with the first beta's performance but this release well meh, only time will tell if that is a bug or it is how it's gonna be with the next releases.

Yep, I don't have Wifi on my rig, so I would expect the system to be "confused" about that. :))) But the volume controls... I don't know. Those were working properly before. There's no delay when pressing the dedicated volume up/volume down keys to adjust the volume. But if you try to do it from the menubar, there's a delay.

 

As Cyber also said, I guess we'll see.  Thank you very much for sharing your experience. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that this could be related to the new Kernel Collections feature. I could be wrong though... So yeah, we'll see what the future holds. So far so good. Really good job @acidanthera team.

How you did it?

[Cyberdevs]

@arsradu

I forgot to mention that I'm using big sur on a conventional HDD and the lags are expected but the first beta was also setup on the same rig and the performance was better, using big sur on the SSD is not that bad though.

It works but Clover log says port limit reached. So need new kext patch.

The 15 port limit is enforced since Catalina. This is not new to Big Sur. You should use it to configure your system to be under 15 ports as per Apple’ specification.

Yep, there you go. I've experienced the same thing on my (unsupported) Mac Mini so it isn't just a hackintosh thing.

Its 15 port limit per controller, not the entire system.

Hi Pavo, can you help me to enable USB 3 ports on my MSI X299 system with DP2 installed?

USB port mapping hasn't changed with BigSur. So.... if you mapped your ports correctly, your USB 3 ports should work without issues.

thanks @fusion71au short of reinstalling again and interrupting phase3 installation (like @ricoc90) thanks

no snapshot and nosealing now my Catalina detected BigSur partition as a normal

Thats not a kext injection issue, that's how wifi works in BigSur, you scan networks in the menu bar or in Network section of System Preferences.

Well.... interrupting an installation phase that shouldn't be interrupted is going to have unforeseen consequences.

@Pavo yep, I agree. I had the same result when I couldn't complete the installation (due to reboots). Personally I don't see it as a problem. It's kind of how it's supposed to work, for what I'm concerned. And...now that I was able to fix whatever was holding it back and finish the installation successfully, the "installer" volume is gone from the boot picker and I've only got the main BigSur boot volume and the corresponding Recovery partition.

 

@ameenjuz Sorry, I haven't followed along with all the discussion. But...I'm curious, is the system bootable at this stage? I mean, if you try to select BigSur, can you successfully boot it? Cause if you can...then I guess it's probably only a matter of cleaning up the installation files. And about that, aren't the installation files placed onto the root of the system partition with Big Sur? If so, have you tried deleting them? I think they should be in a folder called "macOS install data". I'm sorry if I'm talking non-sense. Just trying to help. So please forgive me if I'm wrong.

Just mount the Big_Sur Preboot volume, then delete/remove the boot.efi file from the hidden folder /System/Volumes/Preboot/UUID/com.apple.installer...

Or...

Eg: if you don't have separate drive for modify UpdateOption.plist
After first phase, boot installer again, open terminal and write

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set DoNotSeal true" /volumes/bigsur/"macos install data"/UpdateOptions.plist 

reboot

 

note: change /volumes/bigsur with your /volumes/disk_name

@fusion71au thanks great guide  worked

you are always understanding my point that what i want 

now i m going to testing above procedure of this @gengik84 to disabling the sealing only

after that deleting snapshot

When opting for DoNotSeal true, for some reason, I cannot delete snapshot following @fusion71au's great guide.  The system always returns with operation not permitted when trying to tag snapshot.  Please do let me know, how yours goes. Thanks.
