During installation you should definitely disconnect your video card and any secondary hard drives. The only things I had connected were my monitor (to my onboard slot), primary hard drive, USB mouse & keyboard, and Unibeast. Once you finish installation, run MultiBeast, and are able to boot...

Is your monitor plugged into your graphics card, or do you have an onboard slot you could use instead? Do you have any other hard drives connected other than the primary installation drive? Ideally you would have nothing connected to your computer other than a monitor connected directly to an...

I would also add: for those having trouble getting into the actual installer, boot with -v (verbose flag) and pay attention to where the text output either slows down and/or pauses indefinitely. This can give you clues as to what the problem might be, and what other boot flags you may need to...

I'm actually using an old stand-alone Apple iSight (firewire). It worked intermittently with Lion, but it's been working perfectly in ML. Camera turns on fine with both Messages and Facetime. You could probably find one on eBay.

Sorry, I hardly ever use sleep to begin with so I'm not too familiar with it. Maybe a more knowledgable reader can pipe in?

Nice! :)

Awesome, glad to hear it!

I'm using Medialink USB Bluetooth Adapter - Version 4.0 for Bluetooth, and it's working great. No problems with sleep.

Just checked - both sleep and system monitoring (via iStat Nano) working like a charm.

Preface: I was already running a stable Lion build on the same hardware, so this guide only walks through how I upgraded to Mountain Lion. The STEP's referred to in this guide are from tonymacx86 - UniBeast 1.5: Install OS X Mountain Lion on Any Supported Intel-based PC. Follow STEP 1...

1. Backed up 2. Ran "Software Update" 3. Rebooted, system came back up without working audio 4. Ran MultiBeast 4.2.1, selected "System Utilities," "ALC8xxHDA" and "AppleHDA Rollback" 5. Rebooted, system came back up with working audio Good to go! :thumbup: (system specs in profile)

I'm running a very similar build. Sounds like an issue with the UniBeast install, so I'd try that again first. When making the UniBeast drive, I found it useful to use Disk Utility to totally erase the USB drive first as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then setting 1 partition with MBR (keeping the...

Re: Failure to boot in to lion Your post is hard to follow, so I'm not sure I understand where you're stuck. Are you able to boot to your desktop still?

How were you making the UniBeast USB drive before, using a retail Lion USB drive or Lion downloaded from the App Store? Also, is your wife's Mac running SL or Lion? I thought before you said SL?

When you got to the Chimera Boot Screen you hit the space bar and typed GraphicsEnabler=No at the boot: prompt before selecting USB?

After looking at your output I see references to HPET. Did you configure your BIOS according to this Optimal BIOS Configuration guide? Since you have a GIGABYTE motherboard, have you enabled "HPET Support" and set it to "64-bit mode" under "Power Management Setup?"

Well, when I ran into a kernel panic after installing the incorrect audio kext's, I decided to just redo the Lion install from scratch since the entire process only takes about 20-25 minutes. Others on this forum may be able to help you get back to the desktop without reinstalling Lion, but...

Cool :thumbup: Can you say what specific part of this guide fixed your problem, so others may benefit?

Are you plugged into your graphics card or onboard graphics?
