I SPOKE TOO SOON

MacOS 12.0 Beta 5 has developed a habit of crashing and restarting every night, and occasionally locking up during the day to the point I am forced to resort to an Option Boot to restore full utility. A simple reboot and even a cold boot doesn't yield a stable system. Both conditions first appeared with beta 5.

Another interesting observation is that while iOS/iPadOS 15 beta releases have generally been closely synched with macOS 12 releases through beta 5, iOS and iPadOS are now on beta 7 and macOS is still on beta 5. I don't know what it portends, but I don't recall the various OS betas ever getting this far out of synch???


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
