No joy for me:
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5-TH
Core i7 3770K
16 GB RAM
Gigabyte GTX 670
I had previously set my system def to MacPro5,1 and deleted ApplePowerMangement.kext and AppleTyMCEDriver, they did not get reinstalled by the combo updater. I fixed permissions, rebooted, ran the combo updater, then Multibeast 5.4.3 to update audio (ACL898) and Trim, tried to fix permissions again and got message that the whole drive could not be accessed, only one slice (weird).
I tried pmVersion=0 also, still no joy.
My boot options are: -v npci=0x3000 darkwake=0
also deleted GenericUSB kext
System hangs on "System Uptime..."
Maybe it's because of the system definition, I will try MacPro3,1 and reinstall the combo update.
