Well, I've done something extremely stupid today.... installed a minor update (my machine is 10.8.5, the update was some security, itunes, etc) via the App store, and now my 4730 won't start, just gives me a kernel panic. I just did it without thinking, as I had just done the same on my desktop with no problems. I've tried booting with all sorts of options -x, GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No, all the usual stuff to no avail.
In case this matters, I have a 1080p screen installed, as mentioned in this thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/113211-wacky-4730s-1080p-upgrade.html#post689612
Anyway, is there some way to get it to load so I can run the Probook installer, or any other way to fix this? Also, as I've been planning to upgrade to Mavericks anyway, would that be easier? However, this machine is dual boot with Windows on the same SSD, and from what I understand, I can't upgrade without wiping my windows due to it being an MBR setup? In fact, after reading some threads, dual booting Mavericks/Windows still seems somewhat hazy at this point, wish there was a definitive guide like there used to be for Mountain Lion...
