I just tried the new Multibeast out after trying literally all weekened to get this thing setup stable to no avail. This release is 100% stable on my system now, however the USB Ports and my CD drive do not work. Is there anything I could do to fix that?

My specs are as follows:

Gigabyte X58A-UD5 (Freshly flashed to FD BIOS)
Intel core i7 @ 4.2Ghz
12GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 12800 1600MhZ RAM
Sapphire HD 5870 1GB
Crucial C300 128GB SSD (Partitioned one half for windows, the other half for OS X)

I used the DSDT after flashing my BIOS just a few minutes ago and everything is working fine except for what is listed above.\

*EDIT* I did get it to boot, for some reason when I flashed my BIOS it decided to set my SD card as the primary boot HD :rolleyes: The other problems are still present though.
 
In order to get your USB back to working:

In Multibeast, click the kext section
Go down to miscellaneous
choose the IOUSBFamily Rollback

In order to get your DVD back to working:

Ask someone else because I haven't had that problem :p
Still, I imagine it's in Kext --> Disk --> 3rdParty Sata. Couldn't hurt to do that and maybe the IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector thing as well.
 
Hi the reason i am asking for older versions of multibeast is that for some reason i had to reinstall the gah55n-usb hackintosh with batmobile video card and now i can install 10.6.3 but as soon as i upgrade it to any higher version i loose video, i can see the system running with hdd light blinking but no video. i had read that initially i need to use chameleon 2.0 rc5 ati experimental to get it going to 10.6.8 and then lion already has support for my batmobile card. please help.thanks.
 
I used iBoot + Multibeast 3.9.0 to do the 10.6.8 combo update. The Multibeast install failed with only EasyBeast and System Utilities selected. It succeeded when run a second time without System Utilities, then I ran Kext Utility to fix permissions. Now I see Chimera v1.5.4 r1394, but when it times out I get the white screen with grey Apple logo briefly then immediate reboot. Can't get past this with safemode (-x). I can still boot using the iBoot disc. Suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance.
 
I'm having issues when updating from 10.6.6>10.6.8. I've used updatehelper (w/ restart)as per the instructions, before the update. Then reboot after update, only to get stuck at "device in slot: slot1" or something similar (in verbose). This problem never happened to me on many previous installs, using MB 3.8.0. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
 
I had trouble getting this to work. On a clean install, after updating from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8, 3.9 wouldnt work for me. I selected UserDSDT, System Utilities and Kext Utility, and it said installation failed. I tried this about 3-4 times, each time resulting in the same error. I ended up using a copy of MultiBeast 3.8 that I had saved from earlier.
 
@zdestiny: It has been reported that using System Utilities causes MultiBeast 3.9.0 to fail, but that you can just do the install with System Utilities unchecked, then manually repair permissions.

Now I have a different issue:

I make Time Machine backups as I'm going along so I can restore if it gets fubar'd. I've done this several times without any problem. Then I followed this guide:

http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?topic=649.0

trying to fix my non-booting HDD issue (it didn't). Now when I use iBoot to boot the Retail SL DVD, I get this (see attachment) so I can't restore my backup. I don't understand it, because the iBoot CD and Retail DVD haven't changed and neither has the hardware. I even replaced the HDD with another (working) HDD and still get the same error.

I refuse to believe there's no way back. What have I missed?
