Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I just installed the 10.8.2 upgrade on my Mac Pro and now when I boot I get a messed up screen, see attached. I can access the shared drives, except none of the drives attached to my eSATA cards are showing.
I can't access the system through Screen Sharing, just never connects.
Anyone else having any problems similar to this?
Did it NOT work with 64GB, or did you just try it with 48GB and not 64GB?
Given that Apple seems to officially support only 64GB of ram (that's the max they offer on new Mac Pro's at least, I'm not sure what their official policy is) I suppose those of us running with more are somewhat flirting with disaster; perhaps there is a good reason Apple doesn't officially support more.
Hi it WORKED with 48 GB, 64 GB and 80GB - Tested ALL those combinations.
it didn`t work with 96GB ... and I couldn`t test with 112GB nor 128GB...
Right now it`s fine under 80GB.
Got it. One clarification though, is there any need to distinguish between how much memory is in the system when the upgrade is done and that which is installed AFTER the upgrade is complete? From what I can tell, you did the upgrade to 10.8.2 with 48GB installed and then installed memory afterwards. I am wondering if you tried to upgrade with 80GB it would it cause problems. If you have the problem at boot time immediately after changing from 80GB to 96GB, I would guess we can upgrade with 80GB just fine.
To clarify it : I don`t know !
- I upgraded from 10.8.1 with the Combo Update to 10.8.2 with 48 GB installed (i wanted to be <64GB but that was just a try)
- After everything worked fine, i added more memory: First 64GB, then 80 GB, and finally 96GB.
It worked with EVERY configuration EXCEPT 96 GB (6x 16 GB) - and no, the memory is NOT defective at all.
That`s what I did. You can TRY it with 80 GB DIRECTLY - but I didn`t test that way, but in theory it should work, to be sure you might update with 48GB and upgrade then to 80GB.
IN the end you can try yourself adding more ram to 96 if it works for you (i would be strongly interested as it doesn`t work here).
Hope this helps.
cheers Alex
You saved me. I've been trying to figure out the 10.8.2 issue for a week!!! Many thanks!!!
Same problem here! Xserve 2009, 96GB Ram, gwforce gt 120, after installing 10.8.2, the only way i can controll my server is remote desktop. The display doesn't work. 88GB can solve the problem, but I am running more than 8 virtual machines, so it is not a solution for me :-(
I'm having the same problem in a MacPro3,1 with only 10Gb Ram (4x2Gb,2x1Gb). Video card is ATI Radeon HD 2600.
replace 2600xt with 5770 - instead of a "me too" start new thread
I can confirm that 128 gigs of ram and Mac Pro 2012 and 10.8.2 WILL NOT WORK
It stops at PCI configuration.
If you look at the very top it also says limiting ram to 96 gb as that is max supported (something like that)
Anyway running my mac pro with 64 GB until Apple fixes it.
You need to install the 10.8.2 supplemental patch, it resolves the 128GB of RAM issue.
I have successfully downloaded and installed the Sup Patch, and have reinstalled 128GB RAM.
...it's nice to be whole again.
Thanks,
