Hi,
It took me a few days and dozens of attempts to get my mouse and keyboard, both USB, to work in the Mavericks installation. This has to do with USB Legacy support in LGA 1156 CPUs.
I have a GIGABYTE H55M-D2H motherboard, but this should work for all (GIGABYTE) motherboard of LGA 1156. Here's how I got it to work:
- Format your USB as Mac OS X (Journaled) and make sure it's set to MBR.
- When you create your Unibeast USB, do not tick Legacy USB support. Only tick 10.9 Mavericks.
- Copy a DSDT file for your motherboard into the Extra folder inside of the Unibeast USB. If you don't see this folder (or any other file and folder), do this: assuming the name of your Unibeast USB is 'USB', go to Finder > Go > Go to Folder..., and type:
/Volumes/USB/Extra. Now paste the DSDT.aml file.
- In the BIOS, make sure both USB MASS STORAGE and USB LEGACY SUPPORT are enabled.
- Boot the Unibeast USB with the following flags: -x GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0. Your boot flags might have to be different, depending on your GPU.
- Install Mavericks.
- After the installation is done, there's no need for any flags in order to boot into Mavericks. Just run MultiBeast and install your DSDT file by choosing the User-DSDT option and pointing the program to the location of your DSDT file. Install anything else you might need, such as an Ethernet driver (in my case that's the lnx2mac driver).
- Have fun.
