toshiba portege R830

Hi guys,

Has anyone had a crack at an portege R830. There is a guy on youtube who has but did not mention how he did it or any ktext's he used. here is the stats..

Intel® Core™ i5-2520M Processor
Intel® HD Graphics 3000
SSD

Looks pretty standard across the board really. Tried to boot unibeast but got a grey screen with the circle and cross.

At the boot options screen I've also tried GraphicsEnabler=No

 

[wheninromebro]

No not yet. I still cant find a ktext for that Intel grx card.

You don't need one, as it's supported natively.

Why do you want to boot MultiBeast?

I'm following this guide

http://lifehacker.com/5841604/the-alway ... hackintosh

which talks about using unibeast and multibeast

by using options -v -f I can get to the first screen asking what language I want to use but no keys are responsive.

Take a look at this thread as it will probably save you a lot of time.

Thanks Neil,

I see you did the install onto a usb drive first. Did you use the multibeast+DST?
Not sure how I didn't find that post so much appreciated.

Cheers,

Use Unibeast with laptop support enabled.
