Method

Boot Flags
Due to deadbeef Kernel panic and GTX 570 card, need boot flags to reach installation page
Code:
GraphicsEnabler = Yes -no-zp
Following the instruction from guide I can finish the installation without having problem.
MultiBeast Configuration
Quick Start> DSDT Free
Drivers> Audio> Realtek ALCxxx> ALC1150
Drivers> Misc> FakeSMC Plugins
Drivers> Misc> FakeSMC HWMonitor Application
Drivers> Intel> AppleIntelE1000e v3.1.0
Drivers> System> AppleRTC Patch for CMOS Reset
BootLoader > Chimera
Customize > GraphicsEnabler=Yes
System Definition > iMac > iMac 13,1
Notes:
1. I chose system definition to iMac 15,1 then I could not even reach the desktop page even boot flags GraphicsEnabler=Yes Fixed after choosing iMac 13,1
2. I had USB I/O card installed which cause the biggest problem to me. The OS can't find kext for it and stuck in the loading page. it works well after card removal.
English is not my first language so I am sorry for any grammatical errors
