That's great news for 79xx owners. Did you still use the usb stick to boot?

Yessir, I used the USB that Unibeast created for install and first boot. I ran Mulitbeast and shut off. Switched the DVI cable over to the 7970, and booted right up!

However, graphics driver seems quite a bit slower than Mountain Lion's performance. Doing a Heaven benchmark showed 70 fps in ML, while Mavericks is only getting 20 fps, but I'm sure an update will improve that.

Hi, I've done two ways of installing: dirty and clean. The dirty one was Mavericks over a Mountain Lion, restarted and it loaded as native. But in clean installation i encountered 2 problems:
1. USB doesnt work (fixed by replacing usb kexts with old ones from ML)
and after that
2. Mous is not working, but keyboard does. I just can't move the pointer and mouse doesn't respound to clicks. That's sad, i can't fix that.
Does anyone can help me?
My specs: Core i5 750, GA-P55-US3L (used legacy 1156 support in UNI), HD6870, 4GB ram

hi guys... so everything worked out great for me. I installed maverick and everything is fine. But I try to do a dual-boot and install windows and I can't not. I get to the first part of the install and all of a sudden the keyboard and mouse does not work. Its weird... but i think all my USB ports go off line. But when i restart with maverick everything is fine. I even got the sounds and everything... I just want the best of both world but I guess i can settle with having OSX for now until i find a fix... pls help if you can.

Specs are:
[h=1]Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H Z87[/h][h=1]Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.5 GHZ[/h][h=1]EVGA GeForce GTX770 Classified with EVGA ACX Cooler 4GB GDDR5[/h][h=1]Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz[/h][h=1]Corsair Hydro Series Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H100i[/h][h=1]Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch[/h]

Working for my GA Q77M-D2H mobo. I used the unibeast > multibeast upgrade method. iMessage stopped working after the update but it was easily remedied with the NVRAM 1.1.2 fix. Also, I just had to go into the Sounds settings and choose internal speaker for it to have sound. This update has autosleep working again which was broken by 10.8.5 supplemental. After updating to 10.8.5 I had some difficulty getting USB 3.0 working but that didn't seem affected by this update so I just left it out of multibeast. Really happy with my hack right now!

I just upgraded. All went smoothly, as all I had to do was re-run TRIM Enabler, as well as Multibeast to get my audio working. I ran into a problem where my monitor would shut off after the apple boot screen when I tried to boot the Unibeast installer, but that was fixed with booting Unibeast with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and "Graphics Mode"="resolution of my monitor."

I tried to update as direction - GA-P55M-UD2 - Mouse and Keyboard does not work after selection of language screen (tried image with Legacy USB support) also tried diff. boot option (GraphicsEnabler=Yes, PCIRootUID=1) - any other things I am missing.

Thank you so much, older board, Gigabyte EP45-UD3P intel core2Quad 9550 8g 1066 ddr2, downloaded upgrade, CCC'd my stuff first, verified booted on ccc, then install NEW and then run multi beast, restore the ALC885/889a sound and used my dsdt. all worked well, ran migration assistant and restored my stuff, all is well. everything works, thank you so much, Donation inbound!

No Luck, black screen after the files are loaded in verbose mode. I have identical H/W and my graphics card is Nvidia 8800 GTS 512MB. System is working with 10.8.5 with Multibeast 5.5.0 install.

Any hints?
