Could use some advice here. While I had an RX 580 handy, I thought I'd throw it in a couple of aux/utility Mac Pros and bring their firmware up to 140.0.0.0.0. On the first one, a 12-core 2.66GHz MP4,1>5,1, I observed the first attempt caused the Mojave installer to hang w/ beachball after clicking "Shutdown" to apply firmware update. I eventually forced it to quit and rebooted the machine to start all over again. The second pass shutdown just fine, but now the machine is stuck w/ its "tongue hanging out" (optical drive tray), and won't seem to go any further. It has been like that for 15-20 min now.
What's the recommended course of action here? Don't want to force it to shut down if that makes the problem worse, but I may not have a choice. How long do I wait?
Thx,
Fred
