The only issue that I found is if you are using the Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter, you will find that after the install/upgrade, the network adapter no longer shows up. As promised to some folks on Twitter, here is a custom ESXi 5.5 ISO for Mini 6,2 that you can just download and install without any manual intervention:

If you have a Mac Mini 6,2 the old SMC issue has been resolved, but the PSOD issue is still occurring. If you used Disk Utility from macOS Recovery, you can now restart your Mac: choose Apple menu  > Restart.I just upgraded my Apple Mac Mini 5,3 this morning from ESXi 5.1 Update 1 to the latest ESXi 5.5 release and I am very happy to report the upgrade worked flawlessly! When ESXi 5.5 is generally available, you will be able to just download the ISO and install or upgrade your existing Mac Mini without requiring additional drivers for the on-board network adapter to function correctly.

The order of repair in this example was Macintosh HD - Data, then Macintosh HD, then Container disk4, then APPLE SSD. Keep moving up the list, running First Aid for each volume on the disk, then each container on the disk, then finally the disk itself. If you're asked for a password to unlock the disk, enter your administrator password.Īfter Disk Utility is done checking the volume, select the next item above it in the sidebar, then run First Aid again.If the button is dimmed and you can't click it, skip this step for the disk, container, or volume you selected.If there is no Run button, click the Repair Disk button instead.In this example, the last volume on the disk is Macintosh HD - Data.Ĭlick Run to begin checking the selected volume for errors. For each disk that you're repairing, start by selecting the last volume on that disk, then click the First Aid button or tab.
