Asahi Linux fixes macOS 27 boot picker compatibility
Asahi Linux reports a compatibility issue introduced by macOS 27 that hid Asahi boot entries from Apple’s Startup Disk and boot picker, even though the partitions were still present. The project identified an APFS bootable-volume flag as the cause and is adding installer fixes plus a Linux-side tool to repair affected installs, while also patching an SMC firmware change that could trigger emergency shutdowns.
