I am beginning to suspect my problem stems from trying to do a fresh install oppose to what the majority of successful installs here are based upon I guess Upgrades.

I am wondering if any of the successful installs were done via a fresh installation. I am now in the process of installing Sequoia on a test drive and see if an upgrade is any better.

 

Such a PITA having to go that route for something that is only going to give me joy for one whole year. 

Is it really worth all this hassle at the end of the day?

I tried to do both an update and a clean install - the result is zero)). Already about 30 times!))

@eSaF and others,

 

So far what I have learned is that the MacPro7,1 SMBIOS doesn't allow the installation process move further when initializing the AHCI ports, it get's stuck at initializing port 7 on my rig, but when I change the SMBIOS to iMac20,2 it moves forward and gets stuck at KextLog: Loading FileSet KC(s).....

I'm still using iMacPro 1.1 with Booter/Patch.

Now the first stage is done but BLACK SCREEN :hysterical:

 

Maybe it is not related but....

It seems that there is still no support for Polaris, in my case RX570 and RX560 and I have also seen a black screen, which is what happens to me on the RX590. I am not in favor of changing the BIOS and setting UHD 630 as default. I think we have to wait and see if someone else has the same problem I mentioned.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and see how it goes, but I think the issue in my case is how the dGPU is being handled.

AFIAK there are no Polaris GPUs in 2020 iMacs so I wouldn't be surprised if apple drops support for Polaris GPUs all together.

Maybe you should try this @eSaF I hope help you: 

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --volume /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD --agreetolicense --nointeraction

Need run in separated HD ok ? ;)

I get black screen after verbose runs, no errors then a reboot after 30 seconds. I cannot try iGPU because it's not supported. Using 6800XT, any recommendations to try

Anyone manage to get it going on a Z890??

Same config here and I've been testing various settings all day long to no avail!

Same here, I think Ive exhausted every option on that score.

Believe me this is pushing me to laying out a large amount of money on the real thing.

 

The downside to that idea is that I am throwing money at someone who really doesn't need it and probably heading to the divorce courts when the wife gets wind of what I am about to do.

The upside is I won't have to go through this hand ringing as much as now (I hope).

I think I did the opposite to yours, after trying unsuccessfully via system update and noticing the latest OC commit I rushed to download the Full Installer... which was successful, I still have the USB created with the @Cyberdevs app 💪

@Anto65 - Yea Bro that is how I built the installer with @Cyberdevs App.

That part was a breeze. I think the problem lies within my EFI Folder.

 

I am determined to find a way to overcome the problem which will be a lot more economical than the idea rolling around my confused head.

I will once again retrace my steps and build a fresh USB Installer containing the necessary file changes instead of making the changes after and see if that solves the problem.

Until Apple decides to park the product you purchased after some years then you will be back to OCLP 🤣

The thing is the Black Screen issues in't just the Black Screen, the whole system freezes, no USB no Screen no nothing!

For me I don't get the freeze I think, after 30 seconds on black screen, I get a reboot back to the OC picker screen
