Quick guide to configuring the UEFI on Gigabyte's 7-series LGA-1155 motherboards

[echocharlie]

Help! 1st build and install. GA-Z77x-UP5 TH, I7-3770K, Integrated Intel Graphics, 3TB HD (2 Partitions - 240GB TEST, Remaining DATA), Also 240GB SSD which I will deal with later for primary boot. Right now I have set BIOS as per instructions, installed OSX and run multibeast on the 240GB TEST partition. When I try and reboot, it does not work and I cannot find "Partition" - The only way I can boot to OSX is thru USB Drive with Unibeast.

Look at the screen before the chimera screen. If there is a string of tests that begin with boot0 and if the final line ends in error then search for boot0 error and there is a tutorial to fix it so the volume will boot. You could make the SSD the boot drive and you shouldn't have the issue.

I had this problem myself

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum and I just recently finish building my new machine using the z77-ds3h motherboard. Followed all the instructions, when I try to install (with unibeast), i get the "STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE" error at the end.

It seems like everyone here is getting their gigabyte z77 motherboards working fine, except me.

Just in case, here are my system specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte z77-ds3h
CPU: i7 3770k
RAM: 16gb Corsair vengeance
GPU: EVGA Superclocked GeForce GTX 680, 2GB GDDR5

I'm in the power management section of the Bios for a GA z77n-wifi (Bios version F2), and there is no 'wake on lan' setting. Do I need to update my Bios? There is a more recent version but it is a beta version. thanks.

There's no such option in the BIOS of H77N-WiFi either and as far as I know this is the latest released version for these two boards, so currently no update is possible.

Update: I tried updating to the beta BIOS (f3d) on my z77n, and it tells me that the file size is incorrect.

I think I had the same kind of problem, I entered Safe Mode, finished the install and installed Multibeast and then it worked.
