black screen - no boot - multi beast 4.3.0 update :(

[model711]

Ok, so I'm totally miffed! I decided with a somewhat working system that I would get rid of the hiss and poplin my audio with the DSDT & multi beast 4.3.0 - Realtek 989a. I had to do a BIOS update to the DSDT BIOS firmware, v1606. After that I put everything back to AHCI and S3 etc etc.

Anyways, after that my system didn't boot even with the rBoot. I booted up the 'installer' partition and renamed the DSDT.aml file to DSDT.old with the terminal rebooted and still nothing. I can only boot with rBoot! I've try dropping back to multi beast 4.2.1 and rerunning the easyBeast.
Any help is greatly appreciated.


EDIT: Since I don't even get Chimera to load I'm thinning something must have happened to boot order... No I changed the order and all the same. Boot flags? I'm not sure how OSX put this I have my root on /dev/disk2

So I'm not used to seeing frisk work like this, so I don't know where to check for the boot flag? Is it using logical partitions?
PS getting close to doing a reinstall!

Ok so.... reinstalled and nothing! Still the black screen flashing cursor Really have no idea now.
Someone asked if the system booted regularly after the BIOS update-- yes it did. All drives functioned and everything. Chimera just isn't loading -- WHY

SOLVED -Re: black screen - no boot - multi beast 4.3.0 updat


So not quite sure why but after looking at my boot order of my drives I saw that my drive wasn't getting booted first. It was after the BIOS update,... so... can DSDT's change boot order ???
