I finally updated my work Hackintosh from OS X 10.9 to 10.10. It took a lot of time. Here is how I did it and what problems I ran into.

I upgraded my work Hackintosh to 10.9 today. Everything was rather strange, but doable.

Before that it was running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. I downloaded the Mavericks update from the Mac App Store. I launched it, the installer asked for a reboot, and after the reboot nothing happened — Mountain Lion simply loaded again.

To install the update, you need the following:

I will keep notes here on what to do about various Hackintosh issues. For now this applies to 10.8.5.

kernel extensions in backtrace org.apple.driver.applertc(1.5)
install "AppleACPIPlatform rollback" from Multibeast

If the USB mouse and USB keyboard do not work when the system boots, oddly enough it is related to audio. Delete HDAEnabler1.kext from /System/Library/Extentions and install the audio drivers via Multibeast (in my case ALC887 with DSTD, current).

You can delete the file either in single-user mode (boot with the -s key) or by connecting over remote desktop.

When upgrading to Mavericks, in Multibeast version 6 GraphicsEnabler=No is the default, so you get a black screen after boot. It needs to be set to Yes.
