Monterey doesnt launch under 15.0
After installing moneterey tart clone ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-monterey-base:latest monterey-base and running tart run monterey-base I get a black window and no errors / logs
I think we've stopped updating Monterey VM images a long time ago. Probably need to update the docs to reflect that. /cc @fkorotkov
The hypothesis here is that since the VM image is not updated anymore, it might not include some of the updates that allow running it on newer macOS hosts.
You can try creating the VM image yourself manually using tart create --from-ipsw or automatically using our Packer template.
Another possible scenario is that your hardware is too new. Are you trying to run it on M3/M4 host by a chance?
Note how Mac models here only list:
- macOS 15 IPSWs for M4
- macOS 14-15 IPSWs for M3
- macOS 13-15 IPSWs for M2
- macOS 12-15 IPSWs for M1
Also, please try out the latest ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-monterey-vanilla:latest.
It now contains macOS Monterey 12.7.6, which is the latest version available.
Closing this for now. Please feel free to reopen if any new details emerge.
