I'm working on my first hackintosh install and I've finally got the upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.8 with no issues. After going in to restart and booting up my Unibeast USB - I can't seem to boot into the HDD that I just installed on.

These boot flags worked for the Installer: GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 -v -f

But the same boot flags don't work for the HDD. I've also tried ncpi=0x2000 / 0x3000.

I've even tried re-installing OS X, but every time I try to boot up the HDD I see all the kext files being loaded and then all of a sudden my screen flashes for a second and then reboots. Do you think it's my graphics card or another hardware issue?

try with just -v -x -f and see i you can get to the desktop long enough to install the Fermi drivers for the GPU.
 
^ Still no luck getting to the desktop.

I thought it might be an issue with my DSDT, but DSDT=0 doesn't do anything either. I'm honestly not sure what else to even try.

that command should be DSDT=Null
 
Unfortunately It's the same result : \
 
Something like this happened to me, but on Mavericks. If I tried to boot from the hard drive, it just kept rebooting endlessly. Try this- put your Unibeast USB drive in, choose your motherboard boot options and pick the USB, then at the Chimera boot screen try your hard drive. That allowed me to get to into my computer. Then you can do what you need to do in there. It worked for me, but we may be talking apples and oranges here.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the insight ! !

I followed what you did in your other thread and just re-installed everything top to bottom. I think my first problem was that I installed the wrong Realtek Audio driver, but I just installed the right one and got AppleHDA properly injected, so the audio completely works now and everything is running fine. Huge sigh of relief.
