Can't Boot ML 10.8.3, UD5H, I7-3770K, 16GB DDR3
Hello Everybody,
My apologies in advanced if this is a redundant topic, I have spent countless hours searching for an answer to no avail. This is my first Hackintosh and 2nd post, here are my specs:
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
Intel Core i7-3770K
EVGA GeForce GT 640 (Removed)
TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter
Sandisk SATA 6Gb/s 120GB SSD
16GB 1600Mhz DDR3
PCI Express Firewire Adapter
I read over all the guides on the page and pretty sure I followed them exactly (Including the ML Guide, and the UEFI Bios Config Page). I installed 10.8.3 via UniBeast ML 1.7 and plugged it into USB 2.0 (Note to others, USB 3.0 Ports didn't work for me if you're getting held up at the USB installer load screen) which loaded the installer. In the Installer I used Disk Utility to set Partition 1 to my SSD, Extended (Journaled), named it "Mountain Lion" and Applied. Once I got the "Installation Complete" splash I restarted my Computer, hit F12 for Boot, Chose Sandisk, and Chose to boot Mountain Lion (from HD). After waiting for hours at the spinning wheel apple splash I finally rebooted and was able to access the Mac Desktop in Safe Mode (-x)... and this is where I've stopped. I've tried booting normally from HD but it never works, is this something I have to change in MultiBeast (and can I do that in Safe Mode)? My assumption is yes as your guide says its the only way to make the OS bootable from a HD.
I know this is very vague and I'll upload a screenshot of the error I get in Verbose Mode tonight (Something to do with Power Management needing more MAH, and final line of code I believe is [IOBluetoothHCIController][Start] -- Completed. Thanks again in advance
BTW... I've heard a lot of people recommending I disable VT-D in the Bios, is this available on the I7-3770K or on the UD5h? I can't recall seeing this option in the Bios. Also, I did notice when I was asked to setup an account when I booted from HD in safe mode my wifi was detecting my network, so something is working. I'll keep editing this post either until somebody chimes in with their 2 cents or I reach a solution.

(before it froze on reboot and I had to remove my drive, change my boot order, wipe it clean, and reinstall). I'll try again and re-edit this post. BRB.
