Background:
P55M-UD4 MB w/ i7 860 CPU
GEForce 9500 GT Video
I've been running Snow Leopard for 3 years on this thing and now that everyone is dropping support for Safari 5 I had to upgrade.
1) Upgraded to 10.8.2 with the standard OSX ML upgrade. Everything works fine except Audio. Figure I'll deal with that later.
2) Upgraded to 10.8.5 using the combo upgrade. Same deal. Everything works except the audio, or so I thought.
I'd been testing/building with Unibeast in the machine, so the system won't boot on its own (I have PC EFI installed). The problem is that if I run multibeast and install either the correct DSDT or Chimera, it breaks the system. Hangs on boot if I try to boot normally; if I boot in safe mode it boots ok but then goes to a black screen on video init (with or without GE enabled).
Is there a way to extract the settings that work from the system with PC-EFI? I don't remember what I did when I built this to get it to work.
Can Mountain Lion boot with PC-EFI? There's so many guides for this MB that it's difficult to figure out with "fixes" apply to my system.
I seem to remember that some magic was required for an i7.
