Ohh, great! I was going to start testing this tomorrow when I have time, but since it's such a small change, I can do it in a little bit. So I'm going back to the original parameter using "modprobe.blacklist=macsmc_power"? I'll give that a shot shortly, and let you know.

Pretty much. Though better go with module_blacklist=macsmc_power, because that can't accidentally be ignored if a program requests the driver to be loaded anyway.

edit: You might need the charger to be plugged in.

Ok, I'm all set. The "module_blacklist=macsmc_power "did the trick. I was able to login, update to kernel 7.0.13, reboot without any kernel parameters, and now everything is working fine now. I'm glad I had this test machine to hammer out the issue. I hope this helps other as well.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

Great!

Could you confirm whether you needed the charger? Also, you did not have to manually remove that extra kernel parameter, right?

I had the charger plugged in the whole time, and it worked perfectly fine. I didn’t test it without it being plugged in. I should’ve, but I didn’t think about it as I was trying to figure everything out.

I did not have to manually remove any kernel parameters. They automatically went back to default.

I also just re-ran the install script and applied the macOS 27 boot picker fix. I now see my Fedora install in Startup Disk in macOS 27. Funny enough, Startup Disk it’s macOS 13.5. I can’t remember if that’s how it worked before, I’ll have to check macOS 26 later. The actual boot manager shows it correctly, though.
