I wasn't able to copy and paste the text directly, so here are screenshots of the relevant part of the installer log. The same error occurs whether I use APFS or HFS+.
Okay, same error when trying to install Ventura as well. Is there any way to force a download of the Intel/x86 pkg file for InstallAssistant?
It seems like upgrading from Monterey to Sonoma isn't working either. I don't know where to find the install logs, but I've tried three times and it just boots back to Monterey and tells me there's an update to macOS Sonoma 14.1.1.
I've tried this way too; at some point it rebooted and... never booted again :)
@Razzaline try formatting as macOS extended journaled
I did try, with the same results >.<
I'm going to update the OpenCore image over this long weekend. You can join the discord server for faster communication and easier testing.
Okay, I'll consider joining.
For now, I've confirmed that the recovery image does download the ARM/M3 pkg file for 14.1.1:

This is the link it's downloading from: https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/50/19/042-95558-A_EWFKLKJ2BT/pml2xngdyskimzad55ogcomovjo5pzb32d/InstallAssistant.pkg

I'm having the same problem trying to install Ventura, can you help us? @notAperson535
There seems to be a workaround here: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/715 basically the same as an offline install from OSX-KVM
I seem to know the problem with Sonoma. It’s due to a cpu not being supported. Will look at it this weekend. Thank you all for waiting patiently
which cpu ?

Which operating system are you trying to install? macOS 14 Sonoma
Describe the bug When installing macOS 14 Sonoma, it fails near the end (when it says "About 12 minutes remaining") after downloading and installing InstallAssistant.pkg, with the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior The installer finishes and I'm able to boot into Sonoma

Desktop (please complete the following information):
Additional context I was impatient and silly and didn't save the messages from the install log, but it mentioned being unable to find boot.efi and being unable to setup bless.
I'm guessing it's related to https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/511 and https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/714, which seems to occur because the installer tries to download an installer package for Apple Silicon processors.
I was able to work around this issue for now by installing macOS 12 Monterey instead (also with APFS).
