Hey guys! Updated, and of course, having problems.
Let's get the knowns out of the way first:
I installed via the guide currently on the homepage of this site.
I already had a working DSDT. Pretty much the same one I've been using since 10.7.x. MultiBeast gave the option for EasyDSDT, UserDSDT, or DSDT Free. Now here's where things get a bit tricky. I picked DSDT Free (since I already had a DSDT on the system...right???). I then installed...
Ran a disk repair again, and rebooted. This time making sure to just let it boot from the HDD. The white loading screen with the grey Apple logo appeared. There was a loading bar. The bar vanished. There were some grey swirly thinking things...and then black. My system sent my monitor into standby mode.
Rebooted again and tried to boot with the original boot flag string "-x GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0". Same thing happened. I tried to boot with the flags "-x -v". Verbose didn't SEEM to hang on anything. like it typically would if there was an issue. The same thing happened with the loading screen and then black.
I THEN tried to boot through UniBeast like the beginning of the install procedure. The EXACT same thing happened again. I'm now at a loss. I can't even get into my system in order to mkae any changes that MAY be suggested.
First, how can I get back into my system (safe/regularly)?
Second, is there anything you guys see that I SHOULDN'T have done?
Let's get the knowns out of the way first:
- Motherboard is ASUS P6X58D-E
- CPU i7-950
- GPU GTX 285
- 24GB RAM
- Was on 10.8.5 flawlessly
I installed via the guide currently on the homepage of this site.
- Downloaded Mavericks
- Made bootable USB via UniBeast
- Booted into USB (F8, then select USB)
- Had to use boot flags "-x GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0"
- The install upgraded me without any issue
- Ran repair disk, and rebooted
- Booted into USB again, but this time chose Mavericks install drive
- Everything booted fine, and I ran MultiBeast

- AHCI 3rd Party SATA
- AppleACPIPlatform 10.6.8 (sad it was for x58 boards)
- Chimera v2.2.1
- FakeSMC
- FakeSMC Plugins
- FakeSMC HW Monitor
- The Generic USB 3.0 Driver (Installed in the past to get USB 3.0 to work)
- TRIM Enabler v10.9.0
- MacPro 5,1 Profile (had this previously on my 10.8.x build)
- ...and possibly 1 or 2 more things (MAYBE a power management???)
