Hello Guys, this is my first post here.
I've initially installed 10.8.2 & managed to get audio & wireless WUSB600N v2 to work. I even managed to get ML to identify my video card (GeForce 8800GTS 512) though opencl was not running. I endlessly tried to fix the opencl to no avail.
Decided to update to 10.8.4 to try and fix the issue, yet ended up with a nonstop failed boot.
Now the issue is that I've managed to get into safe mode twice, attempted to troubleshoot yet eventually found myself in a spot where even safe mode isn't accessible.
These are the steps I took with the update:
1. Ran the 10.8.4 combo update
2. Ran multibeast & reinstalled audio driver (without DSDT) then ran Kext Utility
3. Installed Chimera 2.0.1
4. After restart, I got through verbose & into a 'black screen' (basically, my TV said there was no signal)
5. Booted into safe mode, tried to reinstall video drivers (same response, black screen ... now here even safe mode started failing)
6. Tried a variety of bootloader flags (GraphicsEnabler both yes & no, UseKernelCache both yes & no, USBRootUID both 0 & 1, with DSDT=whatever! even experimented with a combination of them) however nothing was working. Finally I managed to get into safe mode with -x npci=x3000 -v ... but after the next restart nothing seems to boot up.
Hardware:
MoBo: ga x58-usb3 - i7 950 Firmware2
Graphics: GeForce 8800GTS 512 x2
Audio: Realtek ALC892
Below is the verbose log from both -v & then -x -v (note that using -v -x & adding other flags gives me the same result) ... hope you guys can help me out. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to rebuild from scratch using 10.8.2
