New to this. Boots nicely from USB using "GraphicsEnabler=No" as a boot param. System Information seems to find most everything and networking works.

Used Chimera to make my drive (an Agility 3 OCZ 60gig SSD) bootable, but I get a kernel panic trying to boot from it. I imagine there are boot params that I'll need to figure out to get it to run?

Should I wait for Multibeast? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
