Here are my specs:

GA-Z68XP-UD3
Intel Core i7 2700k
Gigabyte HD 6870
8GB Ram in currently - I do not have a 4GB Ram module

So I have tried using UniBeast to install Lion. It will usually freeze for me on the Apple Screen and I can't go any further. I have a Thunderbolt Display plugged in (not sure if that has anything to do with it). I am not exactly sure what to enter at the chimera screen? I have tried a combination of a bunch of things others have said but could really use some help getting this going.

Thanks for the help guys!
 
There is not enough info here to help.

First boot verbose with "-v"

Post a picture of the screen when it panics or freezes.
 
I would love to take a screenshot but I am not sure how to go about doing that seeing as this is a brand new build and it has no software on it yet? Is there a trick to this?
 
Here is what I am getting:

New update with just booting with -v and not safe mode or GraphicsEnabler as above.

Yes, thank you for posting the images. It looks like it freezes right before it loads the graphics.

By Default if you are using Unibeast your org.chameleon.Boot.plist looks like this:

Code:
<key>Boot Banner</key>
	<string>No</string>
	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Instant Menu</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1</string>
	<key>Legacy Logo</key>
	<string>Yes</string>

Since GraphicsEnabler is set to yes by default, Try booting in verbose again with GE=no like this:

-v GraphicsEnabler=No

or give these combinations a try:

-v Graphics Enabler=No arch=i386

-v PCIRootUID=0

-v PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No
 
Those didn't seem to work either same error. It seems to not be able to Load BootCacheControl, not sure if that is the reason?
 
I am also getting this, multibeast seems to be a no go for me yet it worked fine when a had snow!
 
:banghead:

You Could Try,

UseKernelCache=Yes
 
OK I have tried these:

-v UseKernelCache=Yes
-v UseKernelCache=Yes GraphicsEnabler=No
-v UseKernelCache=Yes arch=i386
-v UseKernelCache=Yes GraphicsEnabler=No cpus=1 (this went to a blank screen with a flashing line upper left hand corner)
-v UseKernelCache=Yes PCURootID=0

Any other suggestions? I keep getting stuck on the system uptime on all these except the cpus=1 as state above.
