stakeout5 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Hello! I am doing some experimenting with Big Sur installed on an external drive. No matter what I try I cannot get past the black screen after all the verbose. I am using (I believe) the latest kext builds too. OC 0.6.0 of course, and I'm not sure what else to try! Here is a link to my EFI. I am running a i7-8700k with a Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 56 8GB card with no issues on Catalina. My motherboard is a MSI SLI Plus Gaming z370.Please let me know what you think. EFI.zip Please note that Big Sur is installed on an external HDD image that I cloned from parallels Edited June 28, 2020 by stakeout5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stakeout5 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Oddly enough now I am getting hit with this line and no black screen: IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0  I noticed on Catalina this line is also the last to load before I am dumped to the desktop. Not sure why I can’t make it to Big Sur desktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
