Thx. I think is already limited inside the kext (I think I saw something on NVMeFix GitHub). Like you see above is active in my Z690. But, is causing KP in H370.

I'm not a kext expert and would like to learn. What in the kext limits the max kernel version? I did see "Minimum system version" in the Info.plist. Thanks!

BTW: When wake from sleep, all ok? -igfxblt do the job! Thanks! Yes, everything is fine when wake from sleep. HDMI with audio also works. This is a bit odd to me as UHD 630 will not output 4K@60hz thru the internal HDMI (4K@60Hz only possible with DP) as it states here. May be it's just incorrect information about scaling. Dell Docking Station WD19S also works well. Booting MacOS external SSD connected to the USB-C port of the dock. HDMI and DP both working. Ethernet working. Pretty good!

miliuco Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 @deeveedee @Stefanalmare Now on Sonoma I’m working without NVMFix because I had NVMe related lines in logs although macOs was working fine. So far, all seem to ve running good, boot times and the rest. I don’t understand the issues on Sonoma of this kext but I’m not a coder. OC developer comment guides in the direction of not to use it on the last macOS. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/356881-pre-release-macos-sonoma/page/16/#findComment-2806235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanalmare Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I just played a bit with Sonoma on my z690. It works incredible well. I have better results on benchmarks than in Ventura. For the first beta is fantastic. I remember when Ventura appeared. Hard days..... When and if WIFI will be fixed, I'll switch immediately to Sonoma. 5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/356881-pre-release-macos-sonoma/page/16/#findComment-2806236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better benchmark results and overal work. Haven't tested the battery life yet. Bluetooth is achilles with Intel cards but I still have hope in devs! PS - Tried TP-Link UB400 BT4.0 dongle and it's not working. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/356881-pre-release-macos-sonoma/page/16/#findComment-2806240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I'm wrong and you are talking about BT only? Does it require an adapter to plug it into a desktop PC, is that so? Or can it be plugged directly into an M2 connector on the motherboard? If you need an adapter, are you so kind as to guide me towards a model in which to place the card? I have searched but am not sure what type of adapter is required. Thank you!!! EDIT: I think this guy was testing DW18020A wi-fi BT card for laptos and im sure will works on Sonoma.

DrThodt Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Sonoma is supposed to support 2019 iMac which should be 19,1 and according to AppleLife.ru dumps uses a Broadcom BCM4360 which is 14e4:07bf not 14e4:4464 which uses 80211FamilyV2. I can’t check until tomorrow but if spoofing 07bf doesn’t work that just means the kext is being reworked and wasn’t ready not that they forgot it or removed it. Unless 19,1 isn’t going to be supported. I can’t check 20,1 either right now, can someone else? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/356881-pre-release-macos-sonoma/page/16/#findComment-2806261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
