Mojave on Apple Silicon?

Post by uliwitness »

Does anyone have any suggestions on running MacOS 10.14 "Mojave" on an Apple Silicon Mac? I'm trying to follow the guide at https://khronokernel.com/apple/silicon/ ... MU-AS.html but the screenshots are from an older version of UTM.

I think I've managed to fiddle things so it boots into EFI and lets me select the MacOS Mojave Install drive, but after a bunch of console messages, all letters suddenly turn into hieroglyphs (retroactively up the screen) and I get a while "forbidden" circle-with-a-dash-through image overlaid over the middle of the screen. My guess is it's either Kernel panicking, or I've not set up the hardware correctly and it recognizes QEMU as a "hackintosh" and bails out?

Anybody have any suggestions?

Let me save you some pain:

Or, you can use QEMU builds provided on this forum instead of the custom UTM variants.

Warning that 10.14 isn't very fast on QEMU, but it's usable, unlike Catalina.

A friend pointed me at these as well, and I'm still getting the crashes, but I suppose that means my boot sequence is OK, and it's the Mojave ISO that's the problem. Will investigate in that direction, thank you! Too bad the download instructions on that site are wrong (you can't download Mojave on newer machines via the app store, it'll just say "you already have the newer OS").
