Solved Tahoe installer freezes while extracting a Shared Support file

[CaseySJ]

I just started the process of installing Tahoe Beta on my Gigabyte B550 Vision D:

• Tahoe installer boots up properly (and fairly quickly)
• Tahoe installation process starts with "20 minutes remaining"
• At about 16 minutes remaining the process freezes and a spinning beachball appears after a few seconds
• The installer log window is shown below
• The file copy procedure just seems to stop even though:
  • Tahoe NVMe SSD has 500GB+ free
  • Tahoe installer flash disk EFI partition has 70MB+ free
• Setting SecureBootModel to either (a) default or (b) disabled produces the same result
• Enabling or disabling NVMeFix.kext produces the same result
• SIP is currently enabled (csr-active-config = 00000000) -- and I've not tried other SIP settings

Various config.plist settings are posted in screenshots below.




Various config.plist settings -- NOTE: Since grabbing these screenshots, I've switched to USBPorts.kext from CorpNewt's latest scripts.

Thunderbolt SSDT

i do not use this ssdt because my Hero (x870e) has usb4 from asmedia and it is not seen by OSX
i think problem is when system is fullfilled with NVME and other stuff
EDIT
I have zero problems in sequoia

UPDATE:

• Tahoe Beta #3 released today, but if you create USB install disk with this build, it will also get stuck at 17 Minutes Remaining, just like Beta #2 — on Asus X670E Gene
  • For me, only Beta #1 installs fully from USB install disk on Asus X670E Gene
• The same USB install disk works fine on Gigabyte Z390 Designare
  • I’ll check the USB install disk on other systems soon
