Aloha,

I'm randomly getting a "Legacy System Extension" popup warning on startup. Otherwise, my system is running fine.

What is the status of Big Sur support with the SANLink 2?

Also, I have installed the latest software (SR3.0.8) - even though the downloaded link and the driver/kext installed both say "1.8.2".

Is this correct?

Thanks for any information.

I can't locate any new driver for SanLink2 10G BaseT.

Do you have a direct link for that?

Hello Farish,

Promise is currently undergoing certification testing for the Pegasus driver.

We do not know the status of Sanlink drivers. But it's likely that they will be out soon after the Pegasus driver is released.

For further investigation about the Legacy System Extension and SR3.0.8, I request you to create a support ticket at support.promise.com so we can further investigate.

Hi Farish,

Promise is aware of the upcoming changes to the macOS drivers. But I do not have an ETA for any updates to address this.

Hi @R P

Are you working hard on this??? I hope you know, that a lot of your customers are left behind with no connection to their drives :((( I can't access any of my photography work for my clients, and is forced to look for another solution than my Pegasus next week :((

Hi Thomas,

You are confusing the 'Legacy System Extension' warning issue with the M1 driver issue. They are two completely different issues.

Here's more info on the warning.

Hi R P

I'm sorry, your right.

Hi Thomas,

I have just discovered that the M1 Pegasus driver (v6.2.16) is now available for download on the Promise support page.

Or you can download it from this link...

Please read the install guide. Big Sur has new security features that must be modified.

----

Enable System Extensions

M1 Mac running macOS 11 or later requires a one-time change to the Boot Policy before you install
the
Promise Pegasus Driver. Follow the instruction in this section if the Boot Policy setting has not
yet been changed. First check to see if the Boot Policy needs to be changed.

that link is to 3.0.5 not 3.0.10. I cannot find V3.0.10 anywhere in the downloads section. I have tried 3.0.5 and 3.0.8 with my SanLink2 SFP and neither work. The driver installs to /library/extensions/sanlink2-10GE.kext and I approved the driver in security but after reboot the sanlink utility finds nothing.

I am on a MacPro Intel, with Big Sur 11.3 beta.

I think it stopped working 2 weeks ago at 11.2 beta 

 

Does driver 3.0.10 fix it and if so what is the correct link?

 

Thanks

3 weeks and no reply. Nice support.

 

Luckily the problem seems to be fixed in the latest Big Sur beta, 11.3B5
