    10.9.2 Update and spinning wheel of death at boot (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH)

    *** UPDATE: SOLVED *** Turns out it's a problem with the MiniDisplayPorts in the ATI Radeon 5770. If you use the DVI port, this problem does not exist, at least for me. In order to get it to work with the MiniDisplayPorts (since I have multiple monitors), I changed "GraphicsEnabler=No" to...

    10.9.2 Update and spinning wheel of death at boot (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH)

    I should also add that I repaired permissions before the update to 10.9.2 and I ran the combo update. Did everything by the book. My rig is straight from the Buyer's Guide in 2013 ("Hack Pro"). The only difference being the graphics card (Radeon 5000 - which I ordered from Apple and uses...

    10.9.2 Update and spinning wheel of death at boot (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH)

    My hackintosh is also my primary workstation. But I can guarantee you, as a software developer, that if you run new system files on old kexts your OS will be unstable. For instance, I know when I had old kexts (S/L/E folder) in 10.9.2 all my photos in iPhoto looked like someone had scrambled...

    10.9.2 Update and spinning wheel of death at boot (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH)

    I pulled the eSATA card out just to see if it would boot (as well as restore 10.9.2 S/L/E folder) and while I got further into the boot process than before, I was unable to get a login screen. Just a gray screen with a spinning wheel (occasionally). Judging from the hard drive activity light the...

    10.9.2 Update and spinning wheel of death at boot (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH)

    Same MB and CPU here. Same problem. Verbose mode shows it stopping on "vm swap subsystem is on". I was able to boot from a cloned backup taken before the upgrade to 10.9.2. I copied the S/L/E folder from the clone to the main boot volume and I was able to boot. HOWEVER, there are several...

    Highpoint eSATA card no longer hot swappable

    I have just moved from an official Mac Pro 3,1 system to a Gigabyte z77x-up5-th based system. The PCI-e card in question (purchased here: http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sata_raid_controllers/r622.asp) is the RAID-less version of the RocketRAID 622 card. It has the Marvel 88SE9123 chipset which has...
