macOS 10.15 Catalina is Now Available on the Mac App Store

Hi @Theophilius, I have similar hardware than you. And I am running Mojave 10.14.6 well. My upgrade to Catalina did not go well. I updated to latest Clover and copied in FaceSMC....while the upgrade seemed to run fine (some 5-10-minut freezes along the way)...upon final reboot my monitor turned black. I could actually login using HDMI instead of Displayport, but network is not working and generally seems laggy.

Anyway, can you tell me which KEXTs you have. And potentially share you config.plist as well? The config.plist because i think I might have some old unnecessary items in mine.

THANKS!

I had taken the last AppleALC, FakeSMC, WhateverGreen and AetherosE2200 from tonymac's Download/kexts menu, but I've used MultiBeast Mojave, too. (you'll need to do the "sudo mount -uw /" before running it.)

This is my iMac 14.2 but I've switched to iMac 17.1 by now and it seems OK (kexts are the same).

Super - that made it. Many thanks!
 
I have updated with no issues whatsoever. Just clicked the "Upgrade" button.
 
Mine is reporting similar temps and the iStat graph shows it has been for the past 30 days, so seems normal.
Should note that this is Fahrenheit.

Got it, Looks like that's what they say in their web too.

I have a problem updating Catalina, and also the installation from 0, someone could help me, thanks.

I'm sorry, update my profile, I have a Radeon RX 580.

Waste of time with a GTX 750, there are no Catalina drivers.
 
Hi everyone, run the update to macOS Catalina today directly from Mojave and everything working perfectly. My ASRock Z87 Extreme6 motherboard is not brand new but works well ..., some software unfortunately no longer compatible with the new system but all in all nothing to worry about.

You would need to remove the 1080 Ti and then use HD4600 gfx exclusively for Catalina to work. Stay with HS if you want to use your high end 1080 Ti with macOS.
