All of my components are compatible. Others have had successful builds with mostly OOB success. Here is where I stand:
1. Installed Lion using unibeast. The only way to get unibeast installer to launch was by using:
-"GraphicsEnabler=No"
-VGA cable
-USB stick in USB2.0 slot)
2. Ran multibeast using the attached settings
Issues:
1. I can not boot without GraphicsEnabler=NO (startup will freeze otherwise)
2. VGA is the only port that works (no image otherwise)
I have scoured the web looking for solutions:
1. Select GraphicsEnabler=Yes in multibeast (I can't find this option)
2. Altering the EFI string: http://www.osx86.net/view/1816-geforce_gtx_550_ti_for_lion_-_opengl-efi_...html
3. Changing multibeast to macmini or macbookpro 8,x
I feel like I am really close and am missing something easy. I have never edited kexts before. I read that you alter them in the OS by clicking on the kext...show package contents etc. That being said my setup should be working OOB, which is why I went with this sandy bridge setup (even though I hate this mobo, not really sure why, just a feeling). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
