The EFIClone script will copy the EFI folder. If the EFI folder on the main drive is still okay (i.e. if you do not want to change or recover that folder) then it's perfectly okay to skip the EFIClone script. In this case the EFI folders on both drives will not be touched.
Made two more attempts to upgrade to Big Sur but I still haven't succeeded. I'm in the process of restoring Catalina to my main drive to give it one more attempt.
Attempt 1:
Restored to Catalina, did another in-place update attempt without removing any Kext just to double check.
Result: Kernel Panic
Attempt 2:
Restored again to Catalina.
Uninstalled the following:
- Little Snitch 4 since Little Snitch 5 is not compatible with Catalina.
- Apogee (No longer using anyway)
- Updated Sonarworks to the latest build which is Big Sur compatible
- Removed AntelopeUnifiedDriver.kext, Motu MIDI Driver.kext, and SoundGrid.kext
Result: Kernel panic but I noticed that before it displayed the kernel panic, it hung on "Generation from SMC Report as 2" for a couple minutes.
Going to try attempt #3 with Little snitch and every single audio kexts removed (I didn't remove UAD and Sonarworks last round). Just to double check, what's the proper way to remove a kext in Catalina? Delete, empty trash, then run Kext Utility?
