I did a fresh install of Catalina and installed kexts using Hackintool to L/E. I was expecting problems and/or a prompt to mount the root partition as read/write, but none of this happened and it just installed the kexts. Is mounting the root as read/write no longer needed? And what about disabling Gatekeeper? Also no longer needed? (no prompt for that either)
@XanderW,
You are correct in that Gatekeeper needs to be disabled and the system drive flagged as Read/Write to install kexts into /L/E on Catalina.
Hackintool automatically does this when you use the install kexts feature (on a Catalina system) so you only need to enter your admin password once. The process is documented in this guide :-
