    OS X 10.10.5 Update

    Followed Stork's directions -- unbelievably easy and flawless. This is by far the best Multi-Beast update. Audio and all worked first time. Thanks.

    OS X 10.10.2 Update

    I have an older system and simple NVIDIA card. Smooth as silk upgrade from 10.10.1 to 10.10.2 on Gigabyte P55M-UD4. Stork's step by step worked flawlessly. Repairing permissions before and after seems to ensure success. Thanks again.

    OS X 10.9.4 Update

    Successful install of 10.9.4. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all. I have put off the upgrade from 10.93 to 10.9.4 for some time, figuring it would be aggravating and was not willing to do it without confirmation Time Machine was working. One Time Machine worked, started on the upgrade...

    Kernel Panic After Mavericks Install --AppleIntelCPU Management

    I about at wit’s end, having spent about a week trying to get my Hackintosh to finish the Mavericks installation. I am certain it is a fix obvious to those more experienced, but it is so far eluding me. I have tried to upgrade from SL 10.6.8, which worked and works fine, without any power...

    Mavericks Upgrade Freezes After Language Selection Screen

    I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from SL (10.6.8) using Unibeast 3.0.1 on a USB drive. I have a NVIDIA 9400GT graphics card. Both my mouse (Logitech track ball) and keyboard (Apple thin aluminum) are USB ports. I have tried using varying boot flags and the best result I have been able to...

    Can't Boot Past Spinning Wheel -- Kext Removal

    I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for your help. I put in the 2.5 drive (the PSU had perfectly good connector cables) and using my old IBoot disk, everything installed on the 2.5 drive perfectly. I did not get a chance this morning to check the audio, but graphics were fine. I am...

    Can't Boot Past Spinning Wheel -- Kext Removal

    I am not certain this is the same Boot0 error, since on boot the BIOS sees the HDD as well as the CD/DVD drive. I will continue to read, although I thought I read them already. The lockage occurs after about 17 screens of loading kext without any problem. I still suspect the power drivers have...

    Can't Boot Past Spinning Wheel -- Kext Removal

    Thanks. Actually, because of the photos and the data on the drive (and the time consumption in dealing with Adobe for Photoshop if it is reinstalled), I would prefer to keep my existing drive if possible. (I did order a new 1 TB HDD if I cannot get the drive to boot) After reading...

    Can't Boot Past Spinning Wheel -- Kext Removal

    I have read all the forum notes, and must be too stupid to understand. I have been manually adding kext using my MacBookPro (with the HDD attached through a USB connection), and have now got I assume almost to the end of the bootloading (graphics and sound kext are loading fine) but the...

    Can't Boot Past Spinning Wheel -- Kext Removal

    I have had a stable system for three years. I got a notice from Apple that there were updates for 10.6.8, and installed the latest update (I think June 10, 2013), and then I had a UPS power loss. The system would not boot even with IBeast and would only boot with the SL install disk...

    Still Waiting For Root Device --IOPOWSecCore

    My Hack 10.6.8 has worked fine for years until my UPS failed. I finally got it back to working using the SL install disk. The HDD (a Hitachi) does not have any mechanical problems and the system worked normally while on. As it would only boot with the SL install disk, I tried MB to reinstall...

    Unable to find ACPI driver -- sticks on loading operating system

    Tried Tony's directions first to reset BIOS to optimized settings. This did not change anything as far as kernel panic regardless of loading with IBoot or Disk Warrior as boot drive. Then tried reboot using Snow Leopard install disk, and system booted into desktop without any apparent...

    Unable to find ACPI driver -- sticks on loading operating system

    Thanks for the advice. I will try it when I get home. There is a lot of data on the drive including photos (all backed up so not a big problem), but it raises the usual migration issues if the HDD has to be replaced. I had a similar problem with a Seagate drive on my Tivo, and it became...

    Unable to find ACPI driver -- sticks on loading operating system

    Thanks for the quick reply and confirming the updater was not needed. As far as what happened, I am not entirely certain. The updater was the normal Apple updater prompt an update was available (I was not trying to go to a new OSX version), and it appeared to load normally. It was a fairly...

    Unable to find ACPI driver -- sticks on loading operating system

    I have had a very stable system for several years. After the latest SL OS upgrade (I think it was 2013-002), the system sticks on the Apple startup screen and hangs. In using the MB disk to check what was going on, it shows a kernel panic, (photo below). MB is GA-P55M-UD4 F9 In reading...

    No Sound After SL 10.6.8 Upgrade Even With Rollback

    Thanks. :D I just did what you said (there were two LegacyHDA files), removed them and now have sound when I select internal speakers. The sound comes through the digital output jack. I also removed some extra HDA files in the library/systems/extension folder, and then used MultiBeast to...
