Thanks for you help. I can't get my head around the clover boot loader

This EFI is in OC, replace your efi with this one.
If it works for you, I encourage you to update to the latest stable OC version.

Posting this with Safari running in Sequoia on my HackBookPro6,2 (without OCLP post-install patches).  This hack is amazingly responsive even without full Nvidia graphics acceleration.  I'm amazed that Safari is working this well in Sequoia without the Nvidia graphics patches.  I've also installed Xcode 16 Beta without issues.

 

So far, I'm very impressed with Sequoia on this old hack.  For non-critical hobbies/experiments, this old hack will provide entertainment for yet another full macOS release cycle.

Note: I couldn't resist the temptation and attempted to manually built the sequoia-developer branch with the latest commits ending in 462d6f6.  Still unable to apply Nvidia post-install patches to Sequoia (no surprise).

 

EDIT: @1Revenger1 I'm using your VoodooInput.kext 1.5 with VoodooPS2Controller.kext.  Trackpad is working great in Sequoia!

@deeveedee I also installed Sequoia on my original iMac late 2013 (27 inch) with nVidia GeForce graphics,

currently without graphics support and it runs surprisingly well even without this graphics support.
I'm waiting for an OCLP 1.6 for Sequoia.

Thank you for spending your time and effort to help me. I can now boot into the Sequoia OS. screen shot of the change I made in config.plist

Already done that. AMFIPass.kext disabled, amfi=0x80 boot-arg, Disable Library Validation Enforcement & Disable _csr_check() in _vnode_check_signature enable in kernel/patch. And right now it is installing correctly on ivy-bridge laptop. Lets see. After that I'll try on core2. I'll report here.

 

After installing Sequoia on a few rigs, and supposing the existent EFI is well built and Sonoma bootable, the modifications I made for installing Sequoia without problems are:

1. For AVX2 processors:

 - AMFIPass.kext disabled

 - amfi=0x80 and -lilubetaall, boot-args

2. For non-AVX2 processors (core2 included):

 - AMFIPass.kext disabled

 - amfi=0x80 and -lilubetaall, boot-args

 - "Disable Library Validation Enforcement" and "Disable _csr_check() in _vnode_check_signature" patches, enable in kernel/patch

No OCLP solution yet for any Sequoia patch.

I managed to fix these two issues by disabling IntelBTPatcher kext.

@ismolika maybe this could fix your Chrome issue aswell.

I reinstalled it and chrome issue is gone. But now second monitor is not working. Any ideas? 6600xt

I haven't registered it at the registry office yet 😂 ( give it whatever name you prefer )

 

It's one of the many themes start and can't finish... I have little time these days
If you like , the main icons from BS to Sequoia are present ... trash what you don't need or like  👋

Bro you are a Man of my own heart!!! That is exactly what I have done.

So much so that I renamed the Disk from Test Disk to macOS Sequoia.

That's how confident I am with Apple's latest OS rendition, just waiting patiently for the WIFI fix, (fingers crossed). 

 

I risked the small blind     😂

 

I jumped straight from Sonoma without precautions... as I imagined I won the hand 😁
Wifi aside, I'm having some problems with sleeping, time permitting I'll try to resolve them.
The rest works wonderfully ... quick boot

Thanks for new PAT patches and Clover 5159 which made my AMD Ryzen 1700X hackintosh working smoothly at macOS 15.0 beta1 and got higher score at CineBench R23.

Hi @MaLd0n

I have a same TP Link Wifi beside Intel 9560. How to install on Sequoia ? I don't have any software installer for driver. Please.

 

EDIT (SOLVED): I found the right package on @chris1111 Github repo. Thanks for your idea and thanks @chris1111

Hi friends, i install Sequoia without issue on my laptop Alienware except video acceleration, i wait

next OCLP. Efi is for Sonoma minus amfi args and kext and power management kext's, Thank you for Help.

[cankiulascmnfye]

Managed to install Sequois on my Lenovo T490 after some fiddling. I had to disable most non-essential kext to get it to work. Gotta figure out which one is causing a KP. But since it uses about 30 kexts, it's a hassle…

• I had to replace VoodooInput.kext inside of VoodooRMI.kext by the latest Artifacts build from the "Actions" section so that the trackpad works
• Bluetooth hasn't been working Since 14.5 (I didn't notice until today). Using Intel AC Intel AC-9560
• Had to use itlwm.kext for Wifi
• YogaSMC still works

First impressions: Sequoia feels snappier than Sonoma. Websites are opening/loading faster in Firefox as well.

Has anyone with i226-V networking managed to get working or been unable to get it to work in Sequoia at all (As far as I can tell AppleVTD is working as the same OC install works with Ventura without having to use AppleICG.kext)?

Thank you, I have tried that method and seem to have AppleVTD working as it shows up when checked with IOReg but the NIC is not shown in the Ethernet section of System Information at all.

There is a new version of AppleIGC.kext. Panic was fixed

@MaLd0n What is his version? V1, V2 or V3? Would you be able to tell me which chipset TP-link uses in it? Realtek or other.

Bro don't stress about Sleeping not working as such for the moment.

It's not the machine, it is the same on my rig. In Ventura and Sonoma Sleep work as should but in Sequoia not so much..

 

On my setup the Screen Saver kicks in and if left, Sleep mode then actuates, the fans and all LED lights goes off apart from the ones on the memory modules.

The present Sleep quirk is a product of Sequoia Beta 1 so lets leave off poking around until the next 2 or 3 Beta offering.

 

Like you said, apart from that and WiFi, this first one is a lot better than I thought it would be.

Cheers.

Stopping com.apple.fskit.msdos process sleep is working on my hack ...
