i7-4930K - Asus Rampage IV Extreme - 32GB RAM - GTX 770 4GB [Success!!]

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Are you sayin that you made your USB installer form a USB 3 port? Or you panicked trying to install plugged into a USB 3 port?

I thought had previous successfully upgraded the system but now I can't get it boot to Mac OSX anymore.
I'm trying to upgrade to El Capitan from Mavericks. I put my USB installer in a USB 3.0 instead of 2.0 by accident (it was not differently colored and I have bad eyes) and I think my computer has a experience a kernel panic. I tried recreating the USB from scratch and installing but no luck. It won't even boot to the Mac OSX Installer anymore.

Here is a video with a boot without caches

So the first two tries I have booted from my MAC SD drive and the second tries I have booted from the USB installer.

@Shilohh,

I hope your ready for this. I bought a Sabertooth X79 and guess what. Every single USB2/USB3 port work OOB just like on my Asus Z97-Deluxe. Just to add even more to this Enigma, I can boot USB3 flash drives either that are USB2 or USB3 from all the USB3 ports without a single panic.

This board works just like the Z97. The Sabertooth Bios is on 4701 and I do not plan on upgrading to 4801 in case this screws up everything.

I am thinking we must have some kind of Bios/ACPI bug in all this. Your Rampage IV Extreme and my Sabertooth were manufactured around the same time 2011.

I am going to sell two of my three X79-Deluxe's and keep one to debug. I found your model Mb on ebay and bought it just for the purposes to debug.

It could have something to do with installing windows and updating the USB3 drivers, I really don't know what is going on here but I am thinking also it may have nothing to do with the USB3 ASMedia but more likely in line with the USB2 port that works off the USB3 port, something similar to what you were suspecting.

Edited:

By the way I am also positive you will see the message I was referring to when you hover over the second ASMedia enable/disable button. That is what I see on the Sabertooth and it does not label them as Rear and Front as it did on the X79-Deluxe. Other than that the Bios options seem identical.

Edited:

Apologize if I place a USB flash drive in the USB3 port further away from Ethernet port I get a kernel panic. But without any flash in either of those two Blue ports, it boots fine and I have all USB3 functioning once I boot to desktop. Are your ASMedia USB3 ports functioning as USB3?

hi guys. i really don't understand this foolish problem with usb.
it's very simple: asmedia1042 doesn't work. asmedia1042a works.
on amazon there are a lot of peripherals that work; they have the same chipset of the mac pro trashcan. it's called frescofl1100.
there are cards with different configurations: 2 ports, 4 ports without need of extra power, 5+2 internal ports etc etc
stay with this products and that's all.

one question for shiloo:
finally my money problems went away and i built this new rig:
-rampage IV black + 4960x
for the usb problem i bought 2 of these: http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00FPIMJEW/?tag=tonymacx86com-21 (it is fresco chipset + via hub)it may works oob.

the question is: which is the command to build the ssdt for power management?
./ssdtPRGen.sh -w 3 -TURBO 5000
is it right assuming that i overclock to 5000? should i add -c 1?
my doubt is related to the -w3 (the workaround)

@xerox24,
Doubtful but maybe. I won't be able to look into it for a few days. Also, I don't see a download link for mac drivers.

@xelanaiznac,

Apparently ASMedia1024 is working for me. I can't explain it but it is.

The datasheet has a header that states "RocketU 1022AM", which suggests it's ASMedia1022, not 1042.

@xelanaiznac,
yes you need -w 4 and -c 1 typo.
EDIT: -w 3 and -c 1

@lovelybrown,
Your video is set to private. You need to set it to public so I can watch it.

I'll have to speed test my USB 3 ports with a ssd plugged into a USB 3 to sata adapter when I get home.

FYI I have R4BE now not R4E. I still have my R4E and 3930K and 32gb ram kit in their boxes but not running.

I wonder if you have a revision of the Sabertooh?? Don't know but you can find the PCI vender and device IDs in ioregistryexplorer

Try it again

Here is what I tried yesterday. I tried to boot from the USB Installer twice without caches and then from the Mac OSX SSD twice as well

Today I tried to boot from the USB Installer once without caches and then twice from the Mac OSX SSD. On the second try I was able to access the operating system but it froze on me. I tried booting from the MAC OSX SSD a third time and quickly exited the Hands off window and it seems to be fine now? I'm going to go through the rest of your steps and see what happens
