OTA update from Beta 5 to Beta 6 works perfect on MBP 14,3,but the Post Install still doesn't work with the MBP 14,3.It seems to be a bigger problem!
Got a tip for us?

And it is maybe worth reiterating, that is for Apple Silicon only as it stands. Close to 100% of OCLP users are on Intel and will never need to opt in or out of anything AI from Apple as I understand it. .. and I like it
It is work in progress rather, and a lot of work for the developers, esp. for graphics.
When looking at the OCLP changelog, e.g. you see progress on Kepler graphics, not yet Haswell (like in my MBP11,1). Many other things are already in place, like wifi on mentioned machine.
I‘d say it is a big task rather than a problem. And Sequoia release is still in the future.
I mean, only since OCLP 1.6.0n at the Beta 5 works smoothly with everything.The Post Install Patch works at the Beta 6,only after restarting it hangs when the touchbar tries to activate.
I suspect a problem with the T1 chip as it was already in another version of Sequoia.
Is that an OCLP Mac? If so what Mac and OS is that on if you have a sec?
This is my rMBP 10,1 on the latest Sequoia beta 6 with no AI in sight AFAIK:

For the time being, I’m quite happy about that
Yes - of course.
OCLP for Sequoia is in development and developers discourage its use.
Have a look e.g. at post #312 . It is quite some effort if you like to try root patches on your own, ahead of time.
Very good news (except for Metal 3802-based machines and non-Metal machines, which will require some more time to be supported: see also below for explanations)…!

With the release of PatcherSupportPkg 1.7.0, we've published an early version of our macOS Sequoia patches. Current core patches include the following:
We unfortunately cannot support the following hardware with this preview:
Hardware with Metal 3802 and non-Metal Graphics Cards, will not be supported in this initial preview of OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Reintegrating support is a difficult task, so we don't expect to have any public binaries to distribute till winter.
Please note that macOS Sequoia is still in active beta, and so is the development of these patches.
This branch continues to be primarily for internal development, and we recommend users not install Sequoia on their devices until the fall when we hope to have a proper release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher with Sequoia support.
Otherwise, we hope everyone's excited for what's to come! And an extra big thank you to everyone who's donated to our OpenCollective, this has greatly helped with Sequoia development as we're able to purchase the hardware needed for development!

Early preview of macOS Sequoia support now available!
With the release of PatcherSupportPkg 1.7.0, we've published an early version of our macOS Sequoia patches. Current core patches include the following:
- Metal Graphics support for 31001-based GPUs
- Intel Broadwell and Skylake
- AMD GCN 1 - 3 (Polaris and Vega for pre-AVX2.0 CPUs)
- Legacy and Modern Wireless patches (2017 and older Macs)
- (Previously published, but not mentioned)
- Modern:
- Broadcom BCM94350, BCM94360, BCM43602, BCM94331, BCM943224
- Legacy:
- Atheros chipsets
- Broadcom BCM94322, BCM94328
- T1 Security Chip patches
- (Previously published, but not mentioned)
- Applicable for 4 port 13" and 15" 2016-2017 MacBook Pros
- ApplePay currently unsupported with patches, unknown if support will return
- USB1.1 patches
- (Previously published, but not mentioned)
- Applicable for Penryn Macs and MacPro4,1-5,1
We unfortunately cannot support the following hardware with this preview:
- Metal Graphics support for 3802-based GPUs
- Intel Ivy Bridge and Haswell
- Nvidia Kepler
- Non-Metal Graphics support
- Intel Ironlake and Sandy Bridge
- AMD TeraScale 1 and 2
- Nvidia Tesla, Maswell and Pascal
- T2 Security chip support
- MacBookAir8,x
- Dual CPU MacPro3,1 and Xserve2,1 units
- Single CPU machines (ie. quad core) are still functional
- Metal 3802 graphics support is currently extremely broken due to a new compiling system introduced with Sequoia rendering all of Sequoia's .metallibs non-functional with 3802.
- Non-Metal graphics face the same usual issues of reintroducing OpenGL rendering to a Metal-based OS.
- T2 Security chip is still unsupported, only "hack" is disabling the chip which results in more issues.
- Dual CPU issues on Penryn Mac Pro and Xserve are unknown, recommend removing a CPU if testing required.

At the beginning of Sonoma, the 3802-based Graphics Cards didn't worked:And now, "all" works fine with Sonoma and 3802-based Graphics Cards! OCLP developers will find a solution.

Now there is a warning if you try to patch a 3802 system with the latest OCLP Sequoia nightly:
So we’ll just have to wait…

it’s seems we are a long way from Big Sur now as my last supported MacOS , still amazing work by Devs and a hope for the future with a winter update for the 3802 (they haven’t said no chance) so we should take that as a win.
With the latest OCLP nightly (1cbee93) I now have working Wi-Fi, Graphics acceleration and Touch ID on my MacBook Pro 13,2.
Great work Devs!
Great work Devs!
Here's a video I watched yesterday, that people here may enjoy. It's long, but has a lot of good content:
Hi, strangly with my iMac 18,3 (2017) I can install Sequoia beta6 and the OCLP 1.6 but after installing the patch the imac restarts en hangs bon the Apple logo with a small peace of the line below it. It hangs 'foreever'....I installed on the HDD and Sonoma is on external SSD with succes.
Any help in this? thanks!

Did you watch the video I posted above? Jesse has a 2017 iMac and his only issue was no wifi.
Yes I did and found the problem. I restarted from the wrong EFI. Now all is OK, including WiFi.
Glad to report my 2015 MBP12,1 finally works with the Sequoia root patches with the latest OCLP update. I knew from the day Sequoia was announced that this would be possible, keeping that system going for at least another year.
Sequoia is still beta; and some demons may still be active for some hours after a fresh installation?
