SOLUTIONS: Target Audience: Intermediate to Expert Hackintosh Users Solution Overview: You're encountering a common issue where macOS Sonoma on Hackintosh systems does not receive incremental software updates, and instead prompts to download the full installer.

Apple released Mac OS X 10.8.1, the first major update to OS X Mountain Lion. At 24 megabytes, this is a much smaller point update than usual, and does not contain any of the normal audio and graphics driver updates.

BridgeHelper 3.0 MacMan has added support for these new CPUs to xnu-1699.24.23 (AKA the 11.3.0 Darwin kernel shipped in OS X 10.7.3) and we're happy to announce it's release. PLEASE NOTE: Ivy Bridge CPUs and chipsets are not currently supported natively by Mac OS X. We can't recommend Ivy Bridge systems yet, as there is no official support. Hence, please don't view this as buying advice. We don't recommend using a patched kernel for the long-term. The vanilla kernel is a much more desirable solution for a stable system. source
