macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

[luckyduke23]

I booted in verbose mode and after a while, the screen showed an Apple logo with an empty progress bar, which never progressed.
After around 30-60 seconds of the logo screen, the following text showed and remained for at least 15min, when I turned off the MBP.

I'm not planning to update to 15.4 beta-anything on a rMBP10,1 2012 at all. I'm sticking with only public releases on that m/c, with enough delay to let Dortania address any issues, from now on.

I would like to keep it working as a fall back m/c. Currently everything else runs on a still supported Mac mini8,1 2018 while I figure out the next move. Most likely it will be a new Mac Mini M4 pro, slightly tweaked up from the base spec, and a 5K ASUS monitor and Thunderbolt 5 external SSD. Saving up my pennies here, no rush.

I am installing it right now, we will see how it goes.

This did not work, boot path stopped halfway. I am now back to the External SSD and 15.4 does not show up on software update? Why is it gone.

That's weird. Maybe make another installer usb? Or stay on 15.3.1 for now? That's what I'd do actually.

Two questions if I may.

1. Did Martin cease his amazing work on Monterey because Sonoma and above no longer supports AVX?

2. How's the 5,1 users on Sequoia been running since it's roll out?

THANKS.

Unfortunately there are more and more apps that require AVX2... such as Whatsapp Desktop.
