    GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Problems booting.

    I have the same board and it is working with UEFI and no dsdt. I would start by removing your graphics card and using the internal graphics (that is what I have) and get the system up and running. The less you have in the system the easier it is to troubleshoot. For multibeast, just select...

    Crucial M4 or Sandisk Extreme

    I am looking to buy an SSD for my iMac (yes, along with my hackintosh server I also have an iMac). I am looking at the Crucial M4 256GB for about $179 or the Sandisk Extreme 240GB for about $171. The question is which provides better performance, as I see in many reviews that show one better...

    Mountain Lion and Parallels 7

    I have a gigabyte Z68 MA board. I also noticed there was some delays at boot time when card was initializing[regardless of the driver I used]. I had another issue where, if I took down my router or rebooted it, the Ethernet card got a wired ip address. Since I use my system as a headless server...

    GUIDE: GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 UEFI BIOS - ALL WORKING, DSDT not required!

    Interesting, every time i tried to choose another SMBios like mac mini or imac, the system would not longer boot. Was using Multibeast to make the change.

    Multibeast: "The installation failed."

    I am not really suggesting that, but the original poster who started this thread mentioned he was doing an upgrade. The best option of course is always a clean install (in my opinion), however, there are times where you may not want to do this and in these cases what I mentioned above seems to...

    Multibeast: "The installation failed."

    For the OP and any others having this issue with an update to Lion, here is how I got around it.... 1. Make sure you have a backup of your original install in case anything goes wrong (this is critical and had to do numerous Time Machine restores before I figured out the solution). 2. Boot...

    Mountain Lion UniBeast Installer not working

    Can you post some details about your system? Motherboard most importantly. Also, I assume that the screenshot above is for booting from unibeast and not from the hard drive after install.

    GUIDE: GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 UEFI BIOS - ALL WORKING, DSDT not required!

    I have the same board but an I3 - 2125 processor. I have the system up and working, although basic (no audio and have not tried sleep). I re-run Multi-beast with your settings and now the system crashes on boot up. I will try and upload a picture, but the backtrace is point to...

    Native ethernet support

    I am looking for the same thing. I found this which I think will work..... http://www.amazon.com/Presto-Gigabit-Ethernet-PCIe-Card/dp/B0017K6BR8/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1344083720&sr=1-2 Was hoping to find something cheaper (at amazon, frys or microcenter). Update: found...
