Hi all , I need help .
I use this guide to create a stick.
My system :
Intel core i7-5960x extreme edition
Asus Rampage V Extreme
Kingston HyperX Predator 16gb
SSD Intel 530 Series
Asus Geforce GTX 980


I use these flags:
-v -f npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 debug=0x14e nv_disable=1


Download stops on line:
PCI Configuration begin....


I use these flags:
-x -v -f npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 debug=0x14e nv_disable=1


Download stops on line:
AirPort_Brcm43xx.......
 
I have almost the same setup, and i finally got to install screen after so many tries and tutorials. Finally the one worked was this one who rewrote it in earlier posts by rbbunmc

My setup: Asus Rampage V Extreme, I7 5960x, Evga GTX 980, 16GB dd4 corsair platinum dominator.

I did get stuck at PCI Configuration Begin but it snapped out of it in few mins and got me to installer. I kept the VT-on, CMP-on, Secure boot-Other OS.

Use this for boot flag: "-x -v -f npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 debug=0x14e nv_disable=1 dart=0"


HTML: 
1) In disk utilities format USB as 
     a) Partition Layout = 1
     b) Type = MacOS (Journaled)
     c) Options = MBR (MasterBoot Regulator)
     d) Name = USB

2) Run Unibeast
     a) No Legacy Support
     b) No laptop

3) In terminal, make hidden files visble:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
4) You MUST delete every .kext in "/extras/extensions/" NOT "/extras" which doesn't contain any kext files.

killall Finder
5) Download the 4 kext files from page 1 link...
      a) AppleACPIPlatform.kext
      b) FakeSMC.kext
      c) IOPCIFamily.kext
      d) VoodooTSCSync.kext

6) Navigate to "/System/Library/Extensions" and delete 
      a) AppleACPIPlatform.kext
      b) IOPCIFamily.kext

7) Copy and paste the 4 kext files from page 1 link into "/System/Library/Extensions" ...
      a) AppleACPIPlatform.kext
      b) FakeSMC.kext
      c) IOPCIFamily.kext
      d) VoodooTSCSync.kext

8) In terminal run the kernel patch command... Note: if you named your usb drive other than "USB", you must modify the patch kernel to match that name. 

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3C|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3F|g' /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Kernels/kernel
9) In terminal you re-hide the files using...

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
killall Finder
10) You MUST verify disk permissions. OSX disk utility wasn't an  option. KextWizard (free) was incredibly easy to do it. Like two  checkmarks and click a button easy.

11) USB was inserted in USB 2.0 slot on PC

12) Bios Settings were set to Bootmode = other OS

13) Boot in USB unibeast

14) My commands were just a simple combination of suggestions on here...

"-x -v -f npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 debug=0x14e nv_disable=1 dart=0"
 
install complete successfully! Huge thanks to this guide. johnkeller101 /rbbunmc.
 
When I insert the USB stick created following the instructions in Post No. 1 into the PC, I get these messages:
boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: test
boot0: done_
and nothing more happens.
What does this mean?
 
It's difficult to believe that the quoted PC's messages depend on the block size. They appear instead of booting messages and they indicate that the USB stick is not accepted as boot media.
Other question: the Kext Wizard shows 4 options in Maintenance - two for Extra (Repair permissions and Rebuild mkext) and two for System/Library/Extensions (Repair permissions and Rebuild Cache). Which of the options shall be selected?
=======
Several hours later:
I found out that only the options for S/L/E shall be used in Kext Wizard.
As my graphics card is a Asus Radeon HD 7850, I added the appopriate drivers from tonymacs site:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...eon-hd-7xxx-series-10-8-3-a-2.html#post570601
Nevertheless, the boot procedure ends in:
AppleCPUPowerManagement: ready
Still waiting for root device
The last line is repeated every Minute.
I don't see any errors or panics.
BTW: is it possible to save the output messages from Multibeast in a file?

Great guide!

In Step 9: "rmdir" command line I kept getting the message in the terminal window telling me that the "directory is not empty" I replaced rmdir with rm - r and it removed the files without incident
 
Hey guys, been successfully running from this guide and was looking to update from 10.10.4 to 10.10.5 and am getting stuck again at "PCI configuration begin" again. I've tried about every combination of boot flags. Thing is that all my boot flags are still in my plist and I can access it by booting from another drive.

Anyone successfully update the os after installing with this guide? Any tips?

Gtx 960
 
Figured it out and for anyone else doing an update from 10.10.4 to 10.10.5 who used this guide to get going initially.

What I know you have to do is these steps:

5) Download the 4 kext files from page 1 link...
a) AppleACPIPlatform.kext
b) FakeSMC.kext
c) IOPCIFamily.kext
d) VoodooTSCSync.kext

6) Navigate to "/System/Library/Extensions" and delete
a) AppleACPIPlatform.kext
b) IOPCIFamily.kext

7) Copy and paste the 4 kext files from page 1 link into "/System/Library/Extensions" ...
a) AppleACPIPlatform.kext
b) FakeSMC.kext
c) IOPCIFamily.kext
d) VoodooTSCSync.kext



What I had done prior and I'm not sure needed to be done was to (after installing the combo 10.10.5) booted into my working 10.10.4 drive and run the kernel patch to the newly installed 10.10.5 kernel. Then I was stuck at PCI Config etc until I completed the kext steps noted above. You might need the nv_disable=1 for the first boot.
 
I badly need help if someone has the time.

my system:

i7 5960x Extreme
Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P
32 GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 970

I follow the guide precisely and use the following flags:

-x -v -f npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 debug=0x14e nv_disable=1 dart=0

I get stuck everytime at PCI configuration begin.

It's driving me bonkers. Is my motherboard not compatible maybe?

If anyone can help I'd be really grateful.....Thanks
