Bonsoir,
still no worries with updates, 11.3 Beta 6 installed.
Still in Full OpenCore based on OCLP.

Updated to 11.3 Beta6 on Mac Pro 3.1 via OCLP 0.0.9 with freeze on self reboot about 2 times, after update works fine.
Anyone using Printer Sharing with their unsupported Big Sur installation? Mine stopped working.
So it is doable with OCLP 0.0.9 on cMP 3,1 with GTX680 and BT/Wifi upgrade, despite the notes at the site saying an SSE4.2 CPU upgrade is required. Are there any special tricks to this?
There is a list on page #1 and post #1 - it is always a good idea to start reading there.
That I know :-D Just curious if someone's done it on this particular model yet.
hi all i just installed big sur 11.2.3 on a mac pro 3.1 with OCLP and everything works perfectly. I have only one problem I did an update to 11.3.6 beta and since then it doesn't detect the second monitor anymore. Has it happened to anyone? thank you all oops forget with Nvidia Gtx680 metal supported......and found no audio

Pri-est, where to get 0.0.9? The dev's github page only goes as far back as 0.0.12, or did you mean the latest 0.0.19?

**Successful installation of Big Sur 11.3beta 6 on 17" MacBook Pro 5,2 (with internal SSD)
Method: BigSurFixes by @jackluke and @ASentientBot's Hax3lib - see page 351 post# 8767 for installation details.
All expected functions (for MacBook Pro 5,2) are available; graphic acceleration is still not possible.
Hope this data is of help

I finally managed to build an OCLP patcher for 11.3 beta 6 and have got 99.9% of the way through the install on the classic MacPro 3,1 listed below but it has apparently stuck at Less than a minute remaining...
This is the second try; the first time it did this I waited about 30 minutes but nothing happened, so I rebooted but the install destination disk was not visible as a Startup disk and nothing I could do with Disk Utility on another Mac would make it so.
How long should I wait at this screen before assuming it's frozen?

That makes some sense.
When doing this kind of thing, good idea to present as basic hardware config as you can:
- single (in-built) monitor
- disconnect external disks (accessories) that are not required
- use hardware keyboard, mouse
APFS Snapshots can take quite some time to be sealed, and if a user interrupts the process it will break the installation most likely. Generally recommend 1 hour for installs and sometimes more as Apple seems to heavily rely on AES for snapshots and crawls on older hardware because of this. Updates should be a decent bit faster however really depends machine to machine. My recommendation is leave it for 45min-1h before assuming it's stuck
For those curious, no OCLP cannot disable APFS snapshots. We require them for seamless OTA updates and best security practices
Thanks khronokernel. After waiting 2 hours and seeing the following, a few more reboots (3 or 4) got it to desktop,
Now to run post-install patch.
