LOL! That infernal cup of tea! (So says the American with a coffee habit!)Hi Casey/all,
I've pulled a bit of a boo-boo with my hack and need some help I'm afraid!
I tried to update to latest Big Sur (11.2.1) from 11.2 using Software Update.
Everything was looking like it was working fine so I left the machine to it (after a few restarts) and went off for a cup of tea (yes I'm British!!).
The option to enable Siri normally means that an OS update has been applied, but nevertheless let's skip over this for now.I came back and was confused to find a dialogue window in Big Sur asking if I wanted to enable Siri. I clicked no and it returned me to Big Sur Desktop.
Instead of going to Recovery, it would be best to install 11.2.1 again, sans the tea break! Each time the system reboots, select the following from OpenCore Picker if it is not already selected:I then noticed that it looked like the update had failed as Software update was still offering 11.2.1 to me.
So, I rebooted and found that I now have 2x 'Macintosh HD' bootable partitions.
This is what happened last time I tried to update to 11.2 from 11.1. The fix then was to press space bar and load up 11.1 recovery and to a disk repair in Disk Utility from the recovery partition.
- On a reboot there should be only one Macintosh HD. Select this if it's not auto-selected.
- On subsequent reboots this Macintosh HD option should not exist. Select the name of your internal macOS SSD if it's not already selected.
- When the update is fully installed, reboot manually to ensure that Macintosh HD is indeed gone for good.
