So i have my hackintosh all set up, mostly. here are my problems:
1.) I can only boot off iboot
2.) I have to type "GraphicsEnabler=No" to boot
3.) The sound is VERY bad

Here is the process i went thought to install:

iBoot?
10.6.7 combo update?
Easbeast (system utilities)
?reboot using iBoot
Added "AtiPorts=3"

Update helper
reboot using iBoot?
Combo update 10.6.8 don't reboot
?Easybeast (system utilities) [If it crashes uncheck system utilities)?
reboot using iboot (if it hangs up on boot type in "GraphicsEnabler=No"?

I did this because using a DSDT wont work, i have to use easybeast for some reason, i have tried a lot and i have narrowed it down to my graphics card.
Ps: i am using the costomac build #1 with a few modifications
Here is my build:

Please help!

I dont have nvidia or ati graphics and most of those options have been taken out of multibeast. Any suggestions on the audio?
 
Your MB should have an ALC889 codec.

ALC8xxHDA
AppleHDA Rollback
Non-DSDT HDA en bler for the ALC889
System Utilities

Also, the graphics card you linked to is a AMD Radeon card. The 6000 series was released with the AMD name change. Previously they were all ATI Radeon chips. Use the ATI instructions.

Ok great i believe i have tried that audio settings but i will try that settings for the graphics card, which option do i choose, there are many?
 
I tried the audio thing, no luck, still sounds the same. hmmm
 
Since you have been trying to get this to work for sometime, you may have conflicting kexts installed. Have you installed the Voodoo kexts?

You might need to go through your /System/Library/Extensions folder to find all the audio kexts that you installed with MultiBeast and delete the ones you do not need. Check the descriptions in the MultiBeast PDF or in Multibeast itself for names. Go slowly if you do this as deleting the wrong can be a bad thing. Re-run MultiBeast and choose System Utilities when you are finished.

Hmmmm...may need to scratch the above items. You are still booting with iBoot? If you are booting with iBoot then the system is installing the iBoot "generic" kexts each time you boot. No matter what you have installed to your HD, the iBoot system is still installing it's set when you boot. Need to figure out why you cannot boot from the HD.
 
yes i am using iboot, i can only get in if i type "GraphicsEnabler=No" yes i have installed voodo and i have used kext utility too. Also i updated Chimera to 1.6.
 
Have you tried AtiPorts=3 instead of GraphicsEnabler=No when booting with iBoot?
 
well i did this:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=34184&start=0
i added it to "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" which enabled the graphics, before, no games would work.
But i will try it in iboot also
