I can get it to boot from my USB drive (it's very weird, I have to plug it in to my front port, press F12 at boot, select Hard Drive at boot menu (which expands to show all my drives, including my flash drive made with Unibeast), then I plug it into my back port and press enter).

It boots to Chimera, but after selecting USB I get the Apple logo and spinning wheel, then my screen goes black (monitor detects no video input). Monitor is plugged in via DVI.

I've tried -x, PCIRootUID=0, GraphicsEnabler=No. Separate and together.

Again, I have a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R and an EVGA Nvidia GTX 260. And my processor is a Core i7 920.

Thanks everyone!
 
You need to boot with "GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v -x" (without the Quotes, but Case Sensitive) ;)

I appreciate the response, but that didn't work (GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v -x). Same problem, after loading all the drivers, the screen just goes black (no input signal detected on monitor).

Also, I thought GraphicsEnabler=Yes was the default?

Hey I had the same issue with a P61 http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-desktop-guides/113732-guide-gigabyte-p61-ds3-b3.html#post691548
what worked for me was GraphicsEnabler=yes and PCIRootUID=1

This worked, I am at the installer now. I think the problem when I originally did these was I separated them with commas, which the guide (to a newbie) makes it seem like you need to do.

With my setup, what custom things will I need to do with multibeast to ensure everything is working post-installation?
 
Hey, glad it worked, i checked your board has a Realtek ALC888 sound and Realtek 8111d network, i would say in Multibeast select DSD free then under drivers select audio realtek without dsdt ALC888 and on network select the Realtek-Lnx2mac driver leave the rest as is and then under customize tic the GraphicsEnabler=yes and also tic the PCI Root ID Fix and go to build and complete it, if all goes well it should start up normal after that, if you get stuck follow the images on that link I posted only thing different from mine would be the sound driver

That worked. Unfortunately trying to install the Mac Drivers for my EnGenius 11n Wireless adapter froze during "Registering updated components...".

Also, I just realized my BIOS settings reset to defaults during my troubleshooting process at some point, so it installed as IDE. Do I need to do this all over again as AHCI to have trim and everything else properly? If so, not a big deal, but I'd rather not do it if I don't need to.
 
Same thing happened to me the bios reset while I was figuring out the issues, luckily I noticed it before I ended up loading, try setting your bios and see if it works, would be a faster route to see if it works before jumping to reloading

Actually, ever since that driver installation froze, booting now gives me a kernel panic...not sure if it's related to the driver installation freezing. I was able to boot fine after Multibeast and did that driver installation seperate.

I get this:

If the system booted fine and only gives the panic after your driver froze, that driver may not be compatible with 10.9 try searching google for a resolution for that device on mavericks, might be lucky and come across a solution quickly
