I have had some difficulty upgrading to Mavericks. I was on 10.8.4, running stable, and created a bootable USB drive for Mavericks. The first issue I encountered was that after booting from the USB drive, both of my monitors would not detect a signal and go to sleep. I was able to fix that with the following flags:
GraphicsEnabler=Yes Mode=1920x1080x32
I had to put those in to get a video signal from my GTX 560. Once I did that, the install process went smoothly. After about 45 minutes, my system rebooted. This is where I ran into bigger issues.
I can not get to the Mavericks desktop, even if I boot with -x. The system seems to always hang around USB stuff. The first several times I was getting timeout errors for AppleUSBehci still waiting for root device. Other times it hangs around (attempting) to load what looks to be my wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse. I see some kext errors for the Logitech Unifying software. I'll try to post a screenshot later tonight if it is still occurring.
I booted back to the USB Mav installer and restored a Time Machine backup from immediately before I tried to update. Only now that isn't bootable on its own and hangs at the same point (USB devices/Logitech) when attempting to use the boot loader on the Unibeast'd Mavericks USB drive. That is where I'm currently at...
My first question is: Should I have selected the Legacy USB support when setting up my Unibeast stick? The description said it was for LGA 1156 boards, but the Asus P8P67 is LGA 1155. I'm having USB issues though, so my next attack will be to try reinstalling Mavs with a USB drive with Legacy USB enabled. I don't think I ever had to do that with SL, Lion, or ML though. USB wireless mouse and keyboard work fine in the installer without Legacy USB option, for whatever that is worth.
If that doesn't apply to the P8P67, what should my next step be? Removing the wireless receiver for my Logitech kb/mouse before booting? Trying to boot back into my ML backup and removing the Logitech software? Anybody else with this board done a successful upgrade yet?
Thanks for any suggestions you have!
