Hello to all,
Installed Sonoma Beta2 on MacBook Pro 5,2 Mid 2009 17", EVO 860 SSD. It resides on its own volume (not partition).
Downloaded Sonoma Beta2 OTC (I have Apple developer account and I am enrolled in Apple Developer Beta program)
Installation went without major problems; took several installer-triggered reboots to finally arrive at the desktop.
MacBook Pro 5,2 requires external keyboard and mouse to be attached to the computer via a USB hub (USB hub is then plugged into USB port on the computer) in order to allow cursor movement and password entry. I installed latest OCLP 0.6.8n patches (I know it does not fully support Sonoma), and rebooted. There is no GPU acceleration, no WIFI, and no Bluetooth, but Ethernet port works fine, and CPU is "usable" for simpler tasks. Keyboard and track-pad are also fully functional. This report is posted from this Mac via Firefox; Safari has page rendition problems.
Hope this "data point" may be of help.
