[BUG] Downloaded Version of Tahoe Showing as Incompatible with Compatible Hardware

[JamieSmithJAX]

Describe the bug
I have been using this command to upgrade systems since Tahoe it was released but as of late last week, it is downloading what appears to be a version of Tahoe incompatible with the hardware, but the hardware is well within the Tahoe support window.
/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --os 26 --update --reinstall --min-drive-space=36

To Reproduce
I run the upgrade via a Jamf Self Service policy. It first installs erase-install 39.1 and then executes this command. /Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --os 26 --update --reinstall --min-drive-space=36

Expected behavior
upgrade will hang and eventually time out after an hour. If you launch the downloaded Install macOS Tahoe.app from the applications folder, it will say the hardware is incompatible.

Code/log output
Please supply the full command used, and if applicable, add full output from Terminal or from /var/log/erase-install.log. The Log has been uploaded, I can provide more if needed.

I've had the same issue on two devices this week:

• MBP M1 2021 from Sequoia 15.7.1
• MBA M1 2020 from Sequoia 15.7

Updating from Sequoia to Tahoe with erase-install worked at least until 1st October, maybe even 14th October (log was truncated and user is out of the office).

Log snippet:

When running the installer that has been downloaded by erase-install an error is shown '"macOS Tahoe" is not compatible with this Mac'. Updating through Systemsettings was possible though and both clients fulfill hardware requirements.

Hi, this was identified in the Mac Admins Slack, and it's an issue with mist-cli.

I tested this out using --native mode (which replaces the use of mist-cli with built-in code, and it correctly identified that 25A8364 is a fork. So I would recommend using --native mode.

[iam-samiam]

Attempted to run erase-install using the --native option, however the result was the same:
Error: The update cannot be installed on this computer.

I used this command line and it worked perfectly. erase-install.sh --os 26 --update --reinstall --min-drive-space=36 --native

[bandobit]

Hey after running the command

sudo /Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --os=26 --update --reinstall --confirm --dialog-on-download --cleanup-after-use --check-power --rebootdelay=60 --native

I am getting the following error:

2025-10-23 00:48:42 | v39.1 | [erase-install] terminating the process 'caffeinate' process
2025-10-23 00:48:42 | v39.1 | [erase-install] ERROR: 'caffeinate' could not be killed

[grahampugh]

@bandobit did that stop anything working as expected?

[grahampugh]

See ninxsoft/mist-cli#191

[bandobit]

@bandobit did that stop anything working as expected?

Yes I put in a new bug report for this but it would just stay hanging post downloading the package and never update due to this

[grahampugh]

The caffeinate part isn't helpful. I need the earlier part of the log which is the output from startosinstall.

There seems to be some people where the downloaded installer, though it is the correct version, is showing as incompatible. Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this in my own tests. I'm wondering if Apple have a bad installer for 25A362 in one of their CDNs (but not the one I'm connected to).

Some people have said that using --ffi mode (also known as --fetch-full-installer mode) is solving their issue. You could try that instead of --native mode.

Confirming that using -ffi resolved the installer issue for me.
