- installing macos with the black screen with white apple logo and the progress bar (about 14 minutes remaining) its quiet slow than the estimated time .

As of December 7 2020 at 01:10 PM PST
- booting the fresh install


Issues
- booting too slow before apple logo

-
- no ethernet but rtl8111 detected
-windows10 is now unbootable dont know how to make it bootable again


Questions
- is it safe to upgrade catalina to bigsur using the updater?
- how to install new kexts??


Update:
got my rtl8111 working using rehabman latest kext

Post 1 has been updated with latest OpenCore 0.6.4 and updated kexts

Thanks! Don't have to deal with OpenCore updates for Big Sur now, I can just directly download and install .

i have updated the OC build in post 1, try those files and make your amendments from post 2

also for a test you could try and disable:

<dict>
                <key>Arch</key>
                <string>Any</string>
                <key>BundlePath</key>
                <string>VoodooPS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext</string>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <true/>
                <key>ExecutablePath</key>
                <string>Contents/MacOS/VoodooPS2Trackpad</string>
                <key>MaxKernel</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>MinKernel</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>PlistPath</key>
                <string>Contents/Info.plist</string>
            </dict>

hi, this "for a test" you mean trying this before using the updated OC build? Or do you mean using the updated build and then making that change in the config.plist?
