15" Mbpro Retina (10,1) hangs at startuproutine at -pci pause:sdxc

I have this problem with my MacBookPro 15": MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 (MacBookPro10,1 NVIDIA GPU)

I bought this MBPro used over eBay and after I got it the seller checked it again and told me it was defect with a black screen.
He brought it to repair in germany and a new mainboard was installed - the MBPro run ok with OSX 10.8 as far I noticed.

Mbpro Serialno: c02jl4qcdkq2
New mainpport part: MLB,2.6GHZ,IVB 4C-GT2,8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 (G170799072)

After I upgraded to 10.9 (and 10.9.5 later) and installing my system from a timemachine backup I now have the same pci pause: sdxc error :-(

On power on or a reboot the macbook hangs with the spinning wheel.

In Verbose mode I see that the last entry is pci pause: sdxcI can wait for long minutes (around10) and then the macbook boots into desktop.

What I did already:

Long Hardware Test - no errors

Reinstall 10.8. and 10.9. - problem still there

Repair volume and userrights with discinstall - problem still there

This hanging is really annoying and I like to know what I can do.

In that TimeMachine backup, could there be any remnants of an old version of Little Snitch?

And those reinstalls of 10.8 and 10.9, where those completely clean?

I never had LittleSnitch installed.

Yes that were clean installs over Internet (10.8) and USB stick (10.9). So no old users were on the macbook pro.

I already read other threads to this issue here and in german forums - and the tips how to solve - but no one has yet a real working solution to this problem.

What I found out after one more day is that the machnines bootup runs normal but takes about 6 minutes - with a 5 minute hanging at the sdxc procedure.

Maybe someone has a way to shorten that routine, that it doesn't wait for 300sec but just for 30? Would be a benefit 🙂

Some of the information that you have provided is not consistent with a model 10.1 MBP. The serial number that you provided is invalid and the RAM frequency you show is 1333 MHz yet all rMBPs have RAM with 1600 MHz RAM. You may want to recheck this information.

Ciao.

Ok, the RAM is at 1600 - maybe just a typing error on the bill for the replaced mainboard.

There are Apple users like your self here but no Apple employees. Your best alternative is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation. Based on your description, I suspect a hardware issue.

Your screen shots do not show. The fault is probably the forum software (this occurs often), not yours.

Ciao,
