Cannot create macOS 15.2 VMs #929

Closed natewalck closed 5 days ago

natewalck commented 3 weeks ago

When trying to make a VM using 15.2b1 (UniversalMac_15.2_24C5057p_Restore.ipsw), I get the following error:

tart create 15.2.0-test01 --from-ipsw ./UniversalMac_15.2_24C5057p_Restore.ipsw --disk-size 128
Installing OS...
0%
Error: An error occurred during installation. Installation failed.

i'm on 15.2 (24C5057p) and I installed the Xcode tools for 16.1 to see if that would help, but alas it did not. I also rebooted.

I seem to remember this happening in the past and newer xcode tools generally resolved it, but that wasn't the case this time.

In the release notes for this: 

Known Issues in macOS 15.2 Beta
• Installation of macOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta in VMs is not available.

I guess we wait until beta 2.

Try running it without the --disk-size parameter and see if it works. I tried installing Sonoma from ipsw and get the same error when specifying --disk-size. Not sure if it worked before, i.e. if you can change the disk size from the default 50 at the install stage. Increasing it afterwards is a royal pain in the backside.

Hot damn, that worked. Thanks for mentioning this!

No worries, I raised this here https://github.com/cirruslabs/tart/issues/934 since I came across this issue myself as 50 doesn't cut it anymore, let's see if there's some official guidance on how to use it correctly or if this functionality is broken.

Seems to be fixed in the latest macOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta 4:

Fixed: Installation of macOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta in VMs is not available. (137528160)
