10+ Fresh Installs, none will Boot past apple logo

[c2c4c]

I have followed the great OSX 10.8 installation instructions here on this site and successfully installed OSX using UniBeast, immediately using MultiBeast, and even have had audio working and Final Cut Pro installed and working. See under my profile pics for system specs. I've disabled VT-d on the motherboard, and it has the latest non-beta BIOS installed (9/2012).

BUT, as soon as I reboot, I can't get past the Apple logo screen. The screen just shows blank white. I've tried booting into safe mode (-x) and booting verbose (-v), and get nothing different.

I have used multibeast to install these drivers:

I've tried using no system profile, Mac Pro 5,1 (hoped that was the problem), and iMac 12,2.

Every single time I get an unbootable install, and I try all over again. I'm running out of ideas

Any ideas? How can I debug this? Anyone know exactly what items should be installed from MultiBeast for my setup?

Are you using GraphicsEnabler=No? If not thats your problem.

Are you using GraphicsEnabler=No? If not thats your problem.

Somehow that came to me this morning the moment I woke up. Got out of bed, tried it as a boot parameter, and I'm now typing this from my successfully rebooted install! YES!

Went into multibeast and found that option under customization and installed it. Now going to try another reboot without the parameter.

Glad it was something simple.

Is it advisable to leave the system configuration at Mac Pro 3,1?

I think its just more advisable just not to use Mac Pro 5,1 in your case. iMac 12,2 or Macmini 6,1 (or 6,2 what i'm using) are good choices.

After installing multibeast.

1. open extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist in textedit.
2. Make sure GraphicsEnabler is set to No.
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
3. Save and Restart

let me know if it works for you.
