Asus Sabertooth X58 (BIOS 1304)-Update it
Using fresh hard drive

So I have installed it and it went like this:

Changed Bios Settings to AHCI and turned off USB 3.0
Set all overclocking settings to standard CPU settings

Create bootable USB from another Mac computer and retail Mountain Lion
Download ShowAllFiles and delete this kext from the install USB:

System/Library/Extensions/ATI6000Controller.kext

Now you should be able to boot straight into the USB with no problem(use unibeast guide for ML on tonymacx86)

My first install went gray midway; on the second time the install finished and was able to boot into ML

In ML use Multibeast and DSDT for Sabertooth X58 (1304)
Get Chimera bootloader too.

Reboot and start ML with "GraphicsEnabler=no"
You should boot and log in and everything
Install other needed audio/etc fixes from Multibeast(ML) later


Now I have to set up the ATI6970
Will attempt using files from DP4 and replacing out files
(http://netkas.org/?p=1084)

I guess the graphics should work completely afterwards.
Then will set check audio/hard drive jmicron stuff/etc.

Will get back to you after all this and please comment with any of your thoughts.
Perhaps we will be able to replace certain files in the install usb and make the ATI 6970/5970/6950/5950 work with ML.
 
i had usb 3.0 renescas working from the option in the snow leo multibeast and got realtek apc892 audio working(can't check properly-idk how to)

realtek lan-third option in ML loader gets it working - 2gbit

dl the dsdt from tonymac and put to desktop

put the right overclocking option on the last drop down menu-if you overclock your system
 
Any luck with the 6950? I've got a 5970 & a GA-X58A-UD7 & can't get ML to install getting " ML can't be installed on this volume"
 
have installed ML using PCIREootUID=0, ml starts, y install the dtsd using multibeast, restart, and when trys to boot from de hdd, its get stuck in the apple logo,, what can i do? same happens win mL or just lion

sorry for my...
