Wondering if there is anyone around that might be able to help me repair my system. I had a fully working Gigabyte X58A-UD3R (v 2.0) system with a i7-930 CPU running and foolishly decided to upgrade Multibeast to 2.5.1 and the BIOS to FC. I used Multibeast 2.5.1 to change the DSDT to the FC version from the database and selected what I thought were the correct kexts and options for my system.
Now it just hangs when it tries to boot directly from the HDD and when I use the iBoot CD to boot I don't have any peripherals. The mouse, keyboard and bluetooth are all non-functional. Ethernet seems to come up to some extent because I see the system appear on my other (real) macs, but I am not able to Share the screen or ssh to it.
I can boot from the Mac OS install CD and seem to be able to do anything I wish with the Terminal, but I don't actually know what to do.
I tried copying the old FB DSDT file into the Extras directory and downgrading the BIOS back to FB, but I still have the same issues.
My current thought is that I selected the USB 3.0 support kexts in Multibeast and perhaps If I can get rid of those I might be able to recover peripheral support. If anyone can tell me which ones they are, and where I can find them and the correct procedure for removing them. I don't see anything that was modified as of today in the System/Library/Extensions directory, but I presume there must have been something, I just don't know what.
Any suggestions?
