Late last night after working for severals hours I went to shutdown and mistakenly hit the update and restart, then I watched in horror as it did the update and restart. When the system booted all I got was a grey screen and the little spinner. I booted in verbose mode and it didn't get to far. IIRC it stop at the FAKESMC and stopped. At this point I decided to go to bed and deal with it tonight.

Here is my plan to bring it back to life, please correct me if I'm wrong.

At the Chimera screen boot with the correct boot flags, I think it needed -x -v GraphicsEnabler=Yes, PCIRootUID=0, and npci=0x3000. (or what ever it takes to boot, I have it noted somewhere)

Hopefully it will boot, then I suspect that I need to run Multibeast and the MB file I saved?
Then verify that the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file has the correct flags set?
Then reboot?

Is this right? Am I missing anything?
 
BTW: my MB is a GA-X79-UD5 with a GTX 760

I had to change the PCIRootUID from 0 to 1 and I was able to boot into safe mode with -x -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1.

I can't seem to get past the Kernel Panics. See pics.

I've include the various Multibeast configs I've attempted with no success. I must be over looking something.

Help please! Any suggestions?
