Mountain Lion won't boot after restart (SSD problem?)

I too have an OCZ ssd that gets stuck after initial installation although it works fine in safe mode. That is the case for my iMac and MacBook.. I tried it on an old generic SSD in my macbook and it works fine. Anybody know what th problem might be with OCZ products?

I have the same issue with a Macbook 5,1 late 2008 and OCZ Octane S2 128GB.

I had to revert to 10.7 from a Time Machine bakcup.

I found out that there is indeed an issue with the indilinx controller SSDs and OCZ are working on it, but there is no resolution in sight yet.

Unless your 2008 Mac Book is Aluminum or a Mac Book Pro it is NOT compatible with Mountain Lion.

Thanks kev815pan.

As I said, I have a late 2008 Macbook which is compatible with Mountain Lion as listed here http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/

I installed Mountain Lion yesterday and all appeared to be well. I too have a OCZ Octane SSD. Today I rebooted the computer for the first time since upgrading and it froze on a grey screen... that's all she wrote. I restored to Lion from Time Machine and wonder if it's worth trying to reinstall Mountain Lion any time soon.

PS: This is a 2011 aluminum MacBook Pro, 8 GB RAM.

I checked the OCZ site... this is a widespread problem. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?103587-Amanpatel-Vertex-3 -issues-with-Mountain-Lion . At this point, if you upgrade to Mountain Lion with an OCZ SSD drive, it probably won't boot again, going into a continual boot cycle.

I had the same problem with my aluminum MacBook, but I don't have an SSD. I have, however, replaced my drive with a 1TB drive that's been great until Mtn. Lion.

Surely, this must be considered a problem with the OS, I have this problem and prior to the upgrade to Moutain Lion it (the SSD) was working faultlessly. I don't quite see how if it was working under Lion and it is not now, how OCZ could be held responsible. The hardware hasn't changed, the Firmware also remains untouched, the only common denominator is the OS, so it would be relatively logical to conclude that something in the OS has been broken.

Sometimes ML boots in after a hard reset, other times I have to do a complete re-install, and then Cmd-Alt-P-R to get it to work and even that is hit and miss. I lost 4 hours work time yesterday trying to get my 2011 MBP working again.

To be frank I'm not a particularly happy bunny.

I'm fairly confident it's not an OCZ issue as I'm having the same problem with my upgraded drive, which is a standard platter drive.

The frustrating part is that this issue was posted back with the developer releases and wasn't addressed. Maybe I'm biased because this one affects me, but I feel like a bug that basically bricks the user's machine and leaves them with no way to downgrade is a bit of a showstopper.

I am having the same issue with my late 2009 Macbook Pro with -factory- SSD. Everything was fine until I went to restart for the first time.

Thought I was the only one. The issue occurs randomly for me; sometimes it boots to login just fine several times in a row, only to fail five successive reboots. By process of elimination, so far it seems to me like a graphics card or display issue.

Although this sounds similar, I'm sure if this was graphics related there would be even more folks affected. Or considerably more vocal about it anyway.

When I booted in verbose mode, the system just couldn't find a hdd to boot from so not instantly obvious that it is a graphics issue. That being said the first time I had to re-boot was because the display produced random blocks of colour over the screen when swooping from a parallels virtual machine in full screen to my regular OSX desktop. Hasn't done it since though.

I've confirmed with OCZ that there is a firmware issue with Mountain Lion and they are working on a fix as of July 31, 2012.

No word from them yet, other than the official statement.

I too had an issue with my Octane booting once after install, then never booting again. Had to to a TM restore, back on Lion till this is resolved. Kind of frustrating, but there must have been a low level system change that affected things.

Is it a 2008 Alunimum Mac Book? The reason I ask this is that unless it is either a late 2008 Aluminum Mac Book or a 2008 Mac Book Pro, it is not supported by Apple for Mountain Lion. A regular Non-Alunimum, Non-Pro Mac Book needs to be Early 2009 or newer. P.S. This question is not aimed at the origional poster of this question who said he has a 2011 Alunimum Mac Book Pro, and I apologize if he thought that I was aiming this question at him.
