macOS Sonoma support

[kenyroot]

Have you tried the new macOS Sonoma on this build? Are there any nuances?

Tested this on sonoma and works fine, only issue i found was the ethernet which i have swapped out and now using a new kext https://github.com/SongXiaoXi/AppleIGC

This performs much better than the older one.

Works, but the loading speed (apple logo) is much longer compared to the previous version of OpenCore

Sleep is working for you?

Had a similar experience after upgrading to Ventura 13.3 (now on 13.5.1/OC0.9.5, issue persists). Verbose log displays fine, then apple logo appears and takes about 1-2 mins to fully get into MacOS.

As the slowdown is after verbose I can't diagnose what's causing the slow boot.

Is your experience similar @kenyroot? If so, this issue may be unrelated to ethernet as I'm still running native com.apple.driver.AppleIntelI210Ethernet on 13.5.1.

Edit: Ignore the above, I've done some troubleshooting and am now using the IGC kext and my issue still remains, I have a feeling it's to do with my eGPU over Thunderbolt or software issue.

Thanks for bringing IGC to my attention, looks to be much more stable than the i210 method.

I also just updated to Sonoma. What are your feelings on the dropping of support for Broadcom chips? @macpato82

I have a Fenvi BCM94360NG and use Airdrop, Watch Unlock/Pay and Airplay regularly so I'm about to rollback to Ventura 13.6 and wait if there'll be a new card/kext to enable support again.

Thanks for the update.

I’ve been closely monitoring the Broadcom situation within Sonoma, I’m assuming this is the method that requires disabling SIP?

SetApfsTimeout = 0 solved the problem. My ssd Samsung 970 pro

It’s unrelated to SSD, I have a WD SN850 with SetApfsTimeout set to 0 with no issues there.

I did a fresh install of the OS and it booted fine, once restored from a Time Machine the issue persisted, so going to start fresh when I get round to it.
