Which ones?

 

 

 

Attached is a reduced Patch set that still boots Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur ß7 (but not HS) that I used for the speed improvements above. (It is reduced from Pavo's posting.)

 

No Aquantia patches are present.

@iGPU

this part :

4. Now type: /System/Library/Filesystems/apfs.fs/Contents/Resources/apfs_systemsnapshot -v /Volumes/BigSur -r ""   (<--- again, use your disk name; the final characters are 2 double-quote marks) You'll get a response such as "Attempting tagging of snapshot on volume: /Volumes/BigSur

produces not such file directory (I have used obviously my disk name)

however, I can delete with others steps my snapshot 

and then rebooting I can also execute sudo mount -uw

But also with this, Nvidia driver is not able to write on volume because it is read only

with Catalina and previous beta I didn't have this problem

I must also admit that probably when I previously managed to install the driver, very probably I was not from a clean installation like in this case

I ran these instructions on my clean install and had no problem removing the snapshot in Recovery. Once back in Big Sur ß7, I was then able to change files after executing the "sudo mount -uw /" command. I'm wondering if you had (have) more than one snapshot partition? Did you verify after deleting the first snapshot that none were remaining?

 

The only time I saw the an error something like "no such file or directory", when using the (/System/Library/Filesystems/apfs.fs/Contents/Resources/apfs_systemsnapshot -v /Volumes/BigSur -r "") command, was when I made a typo in the command or file name (esp if there were a space in the name), or, if there are no snapshots to tag. So if not first problem with extra snapshot, then I would guess a typo error.

 

 

EDIT:

The other thing to try is before going into Recovery, add boot-arg (it can later be removed for routine BS bootin): -no_compat_check and amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1

 

And once in Recovery, run:  nvram csr-active-config csr-active-config %7f%08%00%00

Hi

I don't know if this is the good thread to ask this, I try to make alive my Firewire card for my uad sound card . Tried many things, irq conflicts, and so on, inserted at Device properties, kext loaded, but still no success. This was a native working card in my previous builds.

Software writes Driver not installed correctly, it means that I did not allowed in in security and Privacy , but there was no option for that

[fabiosun]

Which OS X? Check also your SIP value and if your system volume is read/write

put also when you can your system in your profile/signature

i think @driftwood use FireWire card with success in his rig so maybe he could help

[fojerhar]

Osx 10.15.6 Catalina

SIP now is 77000000, csrutil writes disable (Apple internal) - honestly could not turn back it on with 00000000

[fabiosun]

if you try from terminal 

sudo mount -uw /

 

it works or you have a permission errors?

Firewire driver add some kext in L/E or S/L/E?

any modify o SIP should be done in recovery mode
I use E7030000 for disable and all 0 for enable (in config.plist after enabling or disabling via recovery)

maybe it could be also useful for you disabling gatekeeper

sudo spctl --master-disable

[fabiosun]

oh hoh hoh oh 

Columbus egg found 🙂

would you try?

[fabiosun]

66 blur nodes

 

6TRN Nodes

 

and it is real also in real app..

great 🙂

 

[fabiosun]

AMD radeon users..if you want try here is the trick 🙂

@fabiosun

mount -uw returned without errors after password

also tried disabling gatekeeper

firewire kext are copied to L/E

tried to force load them with OC too, also the uadfirewire.kext, same unsuccesses

thank you for your help

[fabiosun]

wait @Driftwood

he has firewire card and audio working in his rig

 

about gpu fast results...they are fine..but in my case they produce a bad audio in High sierra

That was quick, so soon after Beta 7, they must be getting ready to go Golden Master soon.

I dont know about the Cheetah Xpress but a lot of bridged firewire cards have been problematic in Proxmox (maybe iGPU can comment about Bare metal) but my LSI643 card (single chip NOT bridged) works great and has done for years in other builds.

 

I guess you could look at enabling SIP (csrutil Enable) when installing it, and check to see if it supports the current OSX you are using. Use Recovery Mode to properly enable SIP.

That was quick (and I am not as quick as others noticed it too already 😉).

 

Tried to launch the update on bare metal - getting a popup "Full installer required". So it doesn't like something about my setup.

 

Downloading full 12.16GB now. If this KP's like beta 7, I am convinced Apple is spying on this forum 😂.

But dare you try it yet to see if it breaks our new patches by algrey again? 🙂

 

EDIT

Just seen your update to previous post. 😞

@meina222 maybe full installer is not of beta 8

[fabiosun]

Patches are working

[meina222]

Yes. I may need to try updating via the VM. The full installer is dated Aug 29 so not beta 8. Not sure why beta 8 doesn't like my beta 7 as a version to increment on.

Edited September 22, 2020 by meina222

[fabiosun]

Maybe you have deleted snapshot?

howevwr full installer is confirmed not beta 8

during install if you have verbose you see that new patches are skipped

[meina222]

I never tried to delete snapshots myself. That said I see now 'Preboot' has disappeared and I boot straight into my main disk volume. I wonder if the installer deleted a snapshot.

[fabiosun]

full installer version..and Nvidia driver On 🙂 🙂

downloading beta 8
