At the OpenCore Picker, press space and select Reset NVRAM. When the system reboots, do you see an option to boot Big Sur?

The only way we have been able to remove the "macOS Install" volume is by reinstalling the operating system in question. This does not mean deleting or erasing the existing installation. It just means running the macOS installer on the same disk once again.

My apologies about the double response.

I am currently trying to boot back to Big Sur using clover r5124 on my main drive. The new setup screen has appeared, asking me to choose a language, and connect to Wi-Fi. I have not progressed further in fear of deleting all the data from my main NVME drive. Any tips?

Edit: My Catalina partition now seems unable to boot. I am getting the "Crossed Circle" error:
This is like losing money on options after reading r/wsb, and trying to buy more options to offset the losses, only to lose even more lol.

Reinstalling won't delete your data as long as you didn't reformat your disk. It is quite safe to continue but you should really have a backup beforehand - just in case.

sounds like you already wiped your drive?

Big Sur being a beta, my backup was Catalina 10.15.4. Wiping the data off of my main drive should have been an inconvenience (~1.5tb of data to copy over), more than a big issue. However, my backup also seems corrupt now, despite being on a separate drive.

Lol I hope not. Nothing is working anymore

This is why it is important to have regular backups of your data. Drives can fail, users make mistakes, etc etc etc - backup, backup, backup your important data.

Worst comes to worst, I still have my Time Machine backup. I am sure that one of my old flash drives can still boot Catalina. Something must have gotten corrupt on my Clover EFI.


Edit: Booted back on my Catalina backup !

The data is definitely present on my main drive. The partitions for Big Sur have changed. Macintosh HD has been renamed to "Update", and all System data seems to be gone. Update does not contain an OS.

I cannot see the Macintosh HD - Data partition in the Finder, but I have verified in the command line that all data is present.
OS and Applications have been moved to a folder named "Previous Systems". How can I restore this data?

When switching between Catalina and Big Sur, perform a Reset NVRAM. Also enable verbose mode in OpenCore boot arguments so we can see where the boot process is stopping.

Are you using BIOS F9g that unlocks CFG-Lock by default?

I will do that, as soon as my Big Sur partition is up and running again...

If you have any tips to restore data from the "Previous Systems" folder, as I noted in the post right above yours, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for your help!

Big Sur is in beta and support for it is very limited. We're mostly on our own, with the help of Google of course.

I would suggest reinstalling Big Sur from scratch (i.e. erase the NVMe SSD) using the OC 0.6.2 EFI.

Just wanted to share with you guys that I upgraded OpenCore successfully from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 (release build) and Big Sur to the latest version (20A5384c). No issues so far and it seems stable (I left it running for 2 days and the other night) while using it during those days).

PS: I used OpenCore Configurator during the upgrade process, I know a lot of people have something against that, but it's being regular updated by the devs and works with the latest builds (incl. beta builds on 0.6.3).

I’ve been wondering about using OCC to update OC. What are the steps you used?
