Original Question: "Issues booting Big Sur updater"
I’m having issues updating to big sur (gets stuck somewhere in the boot chain) After a while I get stuck at “Waiting for root device” and I’ve already tried to redo my USBMap, but I do have a kext I can’t boot without that may be involved? AHCIPortInjector is in question. Any thoughts?
