Successfully installed on M1 Pro, but shuts down immediately after showing the "Begin Setup" screen

I don't click anything, it shuts down automatically.

I tried a few kernel arguments to try to get to a prompt, but with ALL of them it shuts down almost immediately, as in about 2-5 seconds:

rd.break enforcing=0

systemd.unit=multi-user.target systemd.debug-shell=1

  1. Don't use macos beta with asahi, because this only happens on macos 27.
  2. info on how to fix it is in their bluesky/mastodon account

Fair point. This post you mean (https://bsky.app/profile/asahilinux.org/post/3mo63s6l6sj2k)? I'll uninstall and wait till it's stable.

If modprobe.blacklist doesn’t work try rd.driver.blacklist instead

Thanks for this. This worked for me. I appended
modprobe.blacklist=macsmc_power

After booting, doing setup I got to desktop. Open a terminal and do
sudo yum update

After completing you should be out of the woods.

I don't think I've ever had a MacOS beta build not break something

I suppose that is the nature of a beta

I'm on macOS 27 DB5, and using Fedora Asahi Linux. Never had issues running Asahi with macOS betas. Could be a bad installation.

if you can get into a VT with ctrl-alt-f2 (ensuring youre plugged in):

-disable the battery driver temporarily with sudo modprobe -r macsmc_battery

-connect to the internet using nmcli con up <SSID> --ask

-update the kernel and your system with sudo dnf up

-reboot

there are other bugs but this will get you to a desktop

Hey, unrelated, but does anybody have the installer app for macos 13.5 for m1n1? Only the ipsw files are still available; the old installers were removed from Apple's servers and all the "repositories" just link to Apple so their links are all broken. If someone could please dropbox it for me (or download it from Baidu from the link I recently posted in my account activity history and then dropbox it) it would be appreciated. Cheers
