Installation Guide for GA-X58A-UD3R (2.0) BIOS FH - i7 930 - Apple OEM HD5770
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please offer any constructive criticism that may improve this build which I based from tonymac's Customac 2010
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/...-pro-2010.html
---------------
Components:
---------------
- Intel i7 930 LGA1366
- Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) - FH BIOS Mobo
- Corsair XMS3 DDR3 12GB RAM (3x 4GB matched) 9-9-9-24 1333MHz
- Apple Branded Radeon HD5770 (2 Mini Displayports and 1 DVI) PCI-E Video Card
- ASUS DRW-24B3ST Multi Recorder Optical Drive
- Apple Cinema Display 24"
--------------------
Install Procedure:
--------------------
1. Make Unibeast Installer for Mavericks USB
(Unibeast version 3.0.1 was used)
http://www.tonymacx86.com/374-unibea...-based-pc.html
2. Within the Unibeast Installer USB I made a folder for "post install" folder that contains
3. BIOS config:memory timings set manually on expert then returned to auto to lock timings - additional settings are based from Lnx2Mac's Optimal BIOS blog
http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/2010/07/optimal-bios-configuration.html
***Extra note about BIOS - It is a good idea to disable features that you are not using (e.g. I disabled firewire since I do not have any firewire peripherals) and to set all drives to AHCI (even if you disable them). This helps minimize potential glitches between the BIOS and running your Hackintosh.***
4. F12 at start-up screen then select start-up drive USB-HDD for the Unibeast Installer USB
5. Make sure destination drive for the install is properly formatted then install Mavericks following Apple step-through
6. Reboot with F12 again start-up screen select USB-HDD and this time choose the drive you installed Mavericks onto (instead of OS X Mavericks unibeast installer)
7. At desktop copy contents of "post install" folder that you made in step 2 from the USB Unibeast Installer
8. Open Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions of your Mac Install
7. Run Multibeast linking your DSDT (see my screenshot for the build setting I used)
8. When Multibeast is finished run Chameleon Wizard to make adjustments (I added ATI Config for hoolock - set graphics mode for my monitor's resolution - ticked Graphics Enabler. Then save (see screenshot)
9. I checked my SMBios using Chameleon Wizard to confirm system preference is 5,1 Mac Pro - Be sure to save if you made changes
10. If you have an advanced format drive then Reboot using F12 at boot again and select Installer then follow tonymac's solution 1 to fix the "boot0 error" http://www.tonymacx86.com/25-boot0-e...ial-guide.html
11. Reboot your computer and enjoy!

Graphics Card Note:
-----------------------
I am using the Apple OEM Radeon HD5770 card the framebuffer is suppose to be "hoolock" and the chameleon graphics enabler set to "yes".

I have a dual boot system so I have hidden a partition and renamed some drives but here is a copy of my org.chameleon.Boot.plist which provided support for my OEM Apple graphics card with the "hoolock" frame buffer. Doing some searching can reveal your frame buffer to substitute.
