macOS sequoia 15.2 update Mac Pro 2019 failed

Just tried updating 2019 Mac Pro from MacOS Sequoia 15.1 to 15.2 and it failed showing a circle with a line through it. Went to link provided - If your Mac starts up to a circle with a line through it - Apple Support


“A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's not a version or build of macOS that your Mac can use.”


Reinstalling from recovery login now. Anyone else have this problem?



Mac Pro, macOS 15.1

Okay, after *some* troubleshooting, I’ve figured out my Mac Pro will not boot with either external 4-bay Thunderbolt RAID drives (Akitio or OWC) plugged in. Boots fine and super fast without.


Boots fine with an external 4TB M.2 single drive enclosure and/or my OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock plugged in.


So… any thoughts?


Mac Pro 2019, 96GB ram, 1TB internal, AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16GB, internal OWC 4 slot M.2 PCI card with 8TB RAID0.


External drives: Akitio 4-bay with 24TB 4x6TB HDD RAID0, OWC Thunderbay 4 with 2x16TB HDD 32TB RAID0 and 2x12TB 24TB RAID0. (These externals stop boot if either or both are turned on.)
