Permissions have been repaired via disk utility, there were a few entries in need of repair - don't have the list as it didn't save successfully. Also flushed the cache using the -f at the bootloader. No real change though to the flickering screen and still have to boot in with either safe...

Another interesting development. I still have the flickering login screen that is so bad I need to reboot (it's black on half the screen and flickering on the bottom half). However this morning I tried booting in with just the GraphicsEnabler=No and while I lose HD, I do get to a regular login...

Well I'm at the frustration stage. I've reinstalled yet again. This time I run MultiBeast and choose to install the Network Driver at the same time. Reboot the machine and then everything is pretty much working. I have Full HD video, My networking is fine, My CD/DVD drive is working - which...

Hi RehabMan, I'm assuming then I need to fresh install, do the MultiBeast then debug from there to see if I can't figure out the root cause. Any pointers you can give on that? Should I dump any specific information and put that up here? Any pointers are helpful! Thanks! Ed.

Yep, I'm booting with the MultiBeast bootloader from the HDD but having to use the -x to get in as in regular mode the video is flickering... Thanks! Ed.

More oddness. If I then boot in with a -x, the network card is now working... Perhaps I messed something up with video by re-running multibeast with only the single driver selected...?

Well big huge fail. Here's what's weird though. When I finish my install, before running multibeast, the network adapter is identified correctly and works! After the multibeast it can no longer get an IP address but is still correctly identified by the system. Any thoughts? Thanks! Ed.

Just checked, the Network Adapter is a Integrated Intel® 82579LM Ethernet LAN 10/100/1000 I'm reinstalling now, will specify that driver with the Multibeast install and see how it goes. Thanks! Ed.

Hi All, Well good news. I was able to get video working but honestly having performed as many steps as I did I'm not entirely sure how I made it work :-( Just as a further background, the Dell Optiplex All-in-one is a UEFI based system and while I tried diligently to get the Clover bootloader...

Thanks RehabMan, I'm going to have to apologize in advance as I'm really new to this and need to ask, how exactly am I supposed to do the injection? I'm assuming that I'll have to boot into safe mode (-x), then get using something like IORegistryExplorer do the injection? If there's a guide...

Thanks RehabMan, I'm reading like a crazed lunatic now, thought I knew roughly how the world worked from all of my previous reading and I'm just realizing now that I've got a long way to go! Ed.

Hi, what's the domain name of the site for System Info? Forum blocked the link... Thanks! Ed.

Hi RehabMan, Thanks for the note, I did try the GraphicsEnabler=Yes and incidentally No ;-). Neither of those worked, hangs in the exact same spot. Any other ideas are appreciated! Thanks! Ed.

Hi All, Well this is my first post. I've read and read and read more both before, during and after my installation and yet I'm finding myself here - stuck! My original plan was to just go out and buy an iMac to replace my Mac Mini, then I decided to use some hardware I had coming to me by way...
