[pre-release] macOS Sequoia

[ohsnap]

Should RestrictEvents kext and the 'revpatch=sbvmm' argument (or lorys89's kext) be used just for the update process, or is it safe to keep them active all the time ?

CorpNewt created a new branch for MountEFI for beta 5. The .command script and the automator workflow for right-clicking and mountig the EFI partition work again:

 

https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI/tree/sequoia-beta5-test

 

"[This] checks the build number of the OS to determine the mounting strategy employed. This will likely stay out of the main branch unless this issue persists through release, but should work as a stop-gap until then."

Well, this is kind of interesting....

 

So I have two installs on my Intel based beta testing machine.  One is Ventura and that install works normally.  I can use EFI Agent to load multiple EFI partitions and they all show up on my desktop. As many of you have noted with your B5 installs, the EFI partitions don't show up without some extra mounting work being done by some of the new tools referenced here on this thread.

 

But, on my M1 Mac, I am running the Sequoia 5.1 beta and just as a test, I loaded two working, bootable backups of Ventura and Sequoia B5 from my Intel beta testing machine onto the M1.  They both showed on my desktop, as I expected them to.  I then used my favorite older EFI utility, EFI Agent, to open the EFIs on both, and they showed up on my desktop, as I expected.

 

Hmmm......unsure as to why EFI mounting continues to work on my M1  machine normally running Sequoia 5.1, but not on my Sequoia B5 Intel based install.  Perhaps this issue is an anomoly, and Apple will fix this issue for Intel based machines with B6?

Updated to Beta 6 and as mentioned the EFI folder mounts with OCAT again.

[deeveedee]

Upgrade from Sequoia Beta 5 -> Beta 6 proceeded without issues on my HackMini8,1.  Booting with OC 1.0.1.  Not using OCLP.  EFI mounts normally with no special/modified tools.  Also, this hack sleeps/wakes normally with Sonoma and all Sequoia Betas (so far).  No mods required.

I think Apple has realized the pointlessness of competing with @chris1111 on EFI and USB.
