Cannot log into safe mode

[CLS7]

I cannot log into safe mode on MacOS Big Sur latest public beta. The screen looks crazy. I'm using a iMac 27 inch late 2015. Everything look fine in normal boot.

I will wait until next beta release to see if it has been resolved.

you're on an apple keyboard? is it plugged in to usb? and you're holding shift on reboot?

it took me 3 tries to boot into recovery in big sur, but i got in...

I expressed myself wrong when I described the problem, sorry.

I get into Safe Mode but the screen looks crazy, as you can see in the attached picture it seems to have wrong resolution and the color is not correct. It must be a bug? I don't have this issue in Mojave or Catalina.

I have reported it to Apple.

has it happened more than once?

Yes, last week was the first try and it gave same screen issue. Hopefully it will be solved at next release of PB, if not I think I will stay on Catalina.

why not ride it out? i mean, how often do you need to boot into safe mode?

BTW, I'm on a new M1 MBP and I also can't start in Safe Mode anymore. Also, resetting the SMC no longer works either. Will post a separate thread about this.
