Chimera Issues

[gardnerphotos]

Have attempted to install OSX 10.8.4 a couple of times now, each time once I have finished multibeast and reboot the system without the flash drive I get the error Missing Operating System, even when I plug the flash drive back in I still get the same error and have to reinstall. I am using the settings suggested here:

I need to get this Hackintosh fully functioning by the end of today and so far it isnt looking too good, I assume that the issue is with Chimera not installing correctly which is why I can't boot from that drive? I am using 4 SSDs in RAID 0 as my boot drive which may be part of the cause too?

What is the hardware?

Try installing onto a single SSD, use the latest MultiBeast as that is an old one - you can apply trim, HW Monitor & Fake SMC stuff later. Keep it simple, basics only and then add others slowly.

Have now got it installed on single SSD, boots fine but have to use bootflags, it won't boot without the following:

GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000*darkwake=0 PCIRootUID=0

Repair your permissions in Disk Utility then open up MultiBeast and under Customization in MultiBeast, you should be able to set the following;

Graphics Enabler = No
1080P display

Reboot and see what you need to get back to the desktop.

My display is 1920x1200 and I am using 2 of them, will that affect this?

I have just repaired permissions and now I only need to use npci=0x2000

To my knowledge it sets the basic details to 1920x1080 & 32 bit colour depth, any changes required by the monitor will then be done. Using two monitors with 1920x1200 resolution will be fine.

The only bootflag I need now is npci=0x2000, what should I do to fix that or will applying 1080 fix it?
