How to Fix Is it worth it updating to Big Sur from Catalina?

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Boot with -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to identify the exact kernel panic.
  2. Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
  3. Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Hi I'm running a lenovo t580 hackintosh on Catalina with opencore 0.6.5, I've read that certain kexts and solutions don't work/are broken when you update to Big Sur. I want to know if its worth updating to Big Sur and going through any problems that occur as I spent a while perfecting my current build as much as possible and its been stable ever since I've installed Catalina in the first place. Sorry if this questions seems dumb as I know some documentation has been released but I know every build experiences its own issues and I wanted to ask those who have already updated. Thanks in advance!
