Hello,
As a temporary workaround (until Promise release an updated installer or Apple fixes the KEXT loading) Promise RAID volumes can be mounted at startup by using a manually created LaunchDaemon.
I had already installed the Promise Driver in a previous beta release so the required PromiseSTEX.kext was already in place. You may need to do this.
I have tested the this on my Mac Pro with a Pegasus2 R4.
- Text below entered into plain text editor (I used BBEdit)
- Saved in /Library/LaunchDaemons with file name: com.promiseload.loader.plist (permissions set to 644)
- Shut down Mac Pro.
- Restarted Mac Pro
- Expected RAID volumes mount when user logs on.
- Tested with System Integrity Protection on and off.

Hope this is useful for those helping to test the latest macOS release.
