macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

Do you know if there is a new KDK? I'm going to update my Sequoia USB installer and upgrade that way to avoid having a slow first boot after the update and avoid having to manually reinstall the root patches. I'm asking if it's safe to go ahead and make the 15.4.1 USB now, or should I wait so the KDK is posted.
Updated my USB install to 15.4.1 and ran it. I'm updated and no need to re-root patch as it was done during the install. Since no one answered my initial questions, I'm going to assume that there is no new KDK for 15.4.1. Everything seems to be working as it should.
After taking b2, anyone else notice weird behavior when having both Thunderbolt ethernet and Wi-Fi enabled (on different subnets), I lose internet access, can't even ping routers until I disable both and re-enable one or the other. I have disabled Mac Firewall and even LS to no success. It could be just me or a wider problem with 2 network adapters running on different subnets.
MBP11,1: OTA update from 15.4 to 15.4.1 went fine, OCLP 2.3.2. Root patching used the direct match metallib (KDK not used in the MBP11,1 case).
In my different case of having WIFI and Thunderbolt Ethernet on the same subnet, things work well in b2.
The other thing I noticed was that I have to manually set my dhcp ip address, otherwise it just goes to self-assigned ip. This was not happening prior to b2 and I suspect its some conflict with the network stack/routes/Apply FW and LS.
The workaround for now is to disconnect thunderbolt plug, replug and things start working again (albeit DHCP with manual ip).
I updated to 15.4.1 via OTA, OCLP 2.3.2 downloaded KDK and applied AMD Kexts, Wireless and T1 chip for Macbook Pro 2017. Everything works correctly
Sometimes I have this same issue with my MBP11,2. The WiFi and Thunderbolt Ethernet are in the same subnet in my case. The only solution is to reboot.
correct...regarding the KDKs you may always check here yourself directly... https://github.com/dortania/KdkSupportPkg/releases
Well I'm glad the version requirements for GOG Galaxy were a bug, and I'm no longer forced to run newer than Monterey. I'll keep Sequoia a bit more to see if I actually need anything it has, and if not, will just go back to Monterey and not depend on OCLP. With that said, overall I've had a pretty painless experience.
Update to 15.4.1 went smoothly on my mid 2012 MBP using the standard system settings update button.
A peculiarity I have here is that I need manual Ethernet hardware settings, to set speed to 100baseTX, else Ethernet won't work. Since "ever", first with MBP5,2 now with 11,1. Maybe a problem with cabling in the house.
only saw it now, yes it loaded a direct matching KDK on my MacBookPro10,2 starting the OTA update
I used to have that same problem, tried disabling, disconecting, etc, but that went away a couple of months ago with updates to OCLP and Seq.
It is working better than ever in my case.
I think it just depends on the mac it's running on. Seems like newer machines work better (even unsupported ones.)
I have observed ethernet issues when testing various versions of Sequoia (not as frequently as with earlier Betas). When I have ethernet connectivity issues, I run the attached script once in a login session and the connection remains stable for the rest of that login session. The problem is not repeatable, so I have not isolated the cause.
EDIT: These ethernet issues have nothing to do with OCLP.
I'd like to report an issue just to save others potential grief. The version of Disk Utility in Sequoia 15.4.1, at least with my MacBook Pro 9,1 with a Samsung SSD always reports that the device itself has a damaged partition map, and that all data should be backed up ASAP. No problems reported with the APFS volumes themselves. The same top level device gave no such error messages in 15.3, and if I boot the system with either a Catalina bootable USB, or an OCLP installation USB for Ventura 13.7.5, First Aid reports no problems whatsoever with the drive.
Follow up: Any bootable version of MacOS says my Samsung 870 EVO drive is fine, using Disk Utility First Aid, up through Ventura 13.7.5, Sonoma 14.7.4 and Sequoia 15.3. Boot Camp Windows says the drive is perfect, 100%. The above versions of Disk Utility also say any external USB (Western Digital, Apple OEM) drive is fine. Sonoma 14.7.5 and Sequoia 15.4.1 report that every hard drive I own has a bad partition map - internal and external.
Don't replace a drive over this! If you think you want to run First Aid to check the drive, not the volumes, use a USB installer with ANYTHING earlier than Apple's most recent MacOS updates.

I am still very happy with my pimped MacPro 5.1. It is on Sonoma right now and works absolutely flawless.
What I could research so far, Sequoia seems to work also very well, however not as flawless as Sonoma.
Could you elaborate on your experience with your two MP5.1 ?
Mine seems to be fine since I have most mods, including USB2.0 mod and updated Wifi & Bluetooth modules as well as Pixlas and a flashed new Vega Pro.
Which Sequoia version works best at the moment? Would you upgrade from Sonoma if you were in my shoes? I have heard the Photos App will make problems on Sequoia? Could you elaborate on your
experience ?
Confirmed my 5.1 / OCLP 2.3.2 & Sequoia 15.4 running smooth.
Although strictly use for audio, and no video.

Thanks, will try next time Ethernet doesn't come up (it is en3 in my case).
Thanks for replying. I’ll consider a clean installation perhaps.
