Yosemite 10.10.1 hangs on grey screen with spinning wheel

Hello,


 


My specs are :


 


CPU : AMD FX 8320


GPU : Sapphire Radeon 280X


MoBo : Asus M5A97 r2.0


 


I have succesfully installed Yosemite on my pc. I used the Bronya rc2 kernel and a post-installation utility by a "commercial spin-off of the OSx86 sceneand I also installed FakeSMC.


 


Now I boot with -v and I see this error :


 


Warning: couldn't block sleep during cache update

Warning: proceeding w/o DiskArb

 

and it gets past the console all the way to the grey screen. It gets stuck there with the spinning wheel on my mouse. No Apple logo, no loading bar, just a blank grey screen with the spinning wheel.

 

It boots up in safe mode and I tried reverting some kexts from 10.9.5 but no luck. I reverted AppleACPIPlatform.kext, IOACPIFamily.kext, IONDRVSupport, IOPCIFamily.kext, IOUSBFamily.kext, Corecrypto.kext, Sandbox.kext, System.kext in that order and rebooted every time. Once I got to the System.kext things got too weird with multiple errors (mostly ACPI) so I stopped there.

 

When I had tried to install Mavericks updates I got the same thing. No error message though. Reverting these to an earlier version (10.9.0) worked. But now it doesn't.

 

Anybody got any ideas?

Try this guide, it worked for me each time I have installed Yosemite.
