I had a perfect running hack using 10.8.1 and after updating yesterday nothing is working quite right. I even did a clean install to put it back to 10.8.1 but my two main problems still exist. My machine would boot in 10 seconds before now takes 70 seconds - I can live with that but the USB will lock the machine up anytime I plug a USB pen drive or some storage device into them. All other usb device, keyboard, bluetooth, etc. work ok. I was starting to think it was my motherboard but if I boot into safe-mode then the usb flash drives work! As far as slow booting it seems to be hanging on AppleACPIPlatformExpert which eventually times out. I tried rolling the AppleACPIPlatform.kext back but no go there. I've been doing hachintoshes for the last 3-4 years and I've not had anything stump me like this build. Esp. since so many have the same hardware and seem to have no problems. I have a Ga-b75m-d3p, i5-3570 Intel 4000 and a tplink wireless 8g of memory and lastly a Samsung SSD.
