    Can't boot from SSD

    Hi, Not sure whether this is the cause of the problems you're experiencing too but I'd had a stable installation of Yosemite up and running on a Sabertooth X58 rig but further to trying to re-boot about 72-hrs ago I'm no longer able to boot into Yosemite. Really do not know whether the...

    No Ethernet on an Asus Sabertooth X58 Mobo.

    Hi, Apologies for not having responded sooner. I'd selected one of the Realtek drivers on Multibeast and that seemed to cure the lack of Ethernet. Yosemite seems to be running quite well but I've noticed Finder isn't working anymore (was working but isn't any longer). A pain really as have...

    Anybody with the "Essentials.pkg" Error

    Hi, The problem you're experiencing is the same as what I'd experienced whilst trying to install Yosemite onto an EX58-UD3R Mobo. Creating another Unibeast USB seemed to fix the problem but the Unibeast USB wasn't corrupted as far as I'm aware as it was used to install Yosemite onto a...

    Anybody with the "Essentials.pkg" Error

    Hi, Whilst installing onto an EX58-UD3R this particular error was showing again and again. Redownloaded as you did too and this seemed to fix the problem.

    No Ethernet on an Asus Sabertooth X58 Mobo.

    Hi, Can anyone advise how to go about getting Ethernet on an Asus Sabertooth X58 Mobo installed please? The Ethernet port is a Realtek 8110SC. Tried installing several kexts (not that I'm 100% on which one's do and don't work) without avail. Thank you. Edit: Think this is a mistake I've...

    Hi, Fantastic - Excellent guide. This helped fix the boot0 error issue I'd been experiencing. The identifier on my install was 'disk3s2' (no idea how these numbers are allocated). Anyway your step by step guide has fixed the boot issue. A huge thank you.

    Core i7 X58 chipset compatability (Gigabyte & Asus Mobo's).

    Hi, Found the install guide to be spot on. Could not perform installation using a Gigabyte Mobo which I'm surprised by as I'd understood they're generally regarded as compatible with Hackintosh installs but whether this is a BIOS failing that X58 chipset issue I'm not sure. Managed to install...
