Gigabyte G41M-ES2L Mavericks solved
I have a curious situation. I have two systems with the same motherboard that currently run Mountain Lion with no problems. The systems are both running the same bios and same settings and the only difference is the processor and the graphics card. One system has a Dual Core Pentium E6500 and a Nvidia 8400GS graphics card. The other system has a Q6600 and a Nvidia 9400GT.
The Dual Core system with the 8400GS upgraded to Mavericks with no problem. It behaved like Mountain Lion and only required DSDT and audio driver reinstall.
The Q6600 system cannot bring up the installer. No matter what boot parameters I use it goes to black screen. I even tried changing the video card to the 8400gs that works in the other machine and I still get a black screen.
This has me stumped! Any ideas would be appreciated!
