10.7.4 "Still Waiting for Root Device" on first time boot

[XStylus]

So I managed to get Unibeast to 10.7.4 installed onto an ASRock Fatality Gen3 Professional, kinda. The install process was finicky but PCIRootUID=0 got me through.

Anyway, now I'm doing the first-time boot, but it dumps me at the white screen with mouse cursor. After a minute or two that becomes a solid blue screen.

I tried booting with PCIRootUID=0 -v -x, and where I ultimately end up is this:

Pthread support ABORTS when sync kernel primitives misused
rooting via boot-uuid from /chosen: [bunch of garble here]
From path: "uuid", Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key>[lots more garble here]
Still waiting for Root Device
Still waiting for Root Device
Still waiting for Root Device

I double checked SMART, it is enabled. AHCI also enabled.

Tried PCIRootUID=0 (that's what I needed to use to install), as well as PCIRootUID=1
Tried GraphicsEnabler=No
Tried -x and -v
Tried changing USB ports.
Tried various combinations of the above.

All no joy.

The unit is running 4GB of DDR3, an i7-2600k, and an NVidia Quadro 2000.

Suggestions on what to try from here would be welcomed.

Do you know which version of the UniBeast you used
Also after did you update the chimera boot loader.

if you are having panics during load up
suggest you use some command switches -v -f and take a picture and post.
