Hey,
@going bald
Are you using clover or are you able to boot clover successfully? I See we have a very similar System setup. I am very glad if you post your config.plist too.
i Hope somebody can help me to boot clover.
regards
frezy
I am currently using Chimera, but it was not hard to create a clover install USB. Just followed the UniBeast guide to format the USB MBR/OSX E(J) to get OS X Mavericks on the USB, then downloaded Clover_v2k_r2330 from OS86.net and ran it pointed at the USB with these selections:
Then copied FakeSMC, the 4 ATIRadeon kexts (for my HD5770 - if you have non ATI card do not copy these), IONetworkingFamily.kext and Lnx2mac"s RealtekRTL81xx.kext to EFI->Clover->kexts->10.9 and added my DSDT to EFI->Clover->ACPI->patched
Config.plist I edited (didn't do a lot here, just minimal stuff - it could probably be cleaned up a bit and unused stuff deleted.:

This was basically just a test of the idea to see if I could get it to work as I don't really need to shift to Clover from Chimera.
I copied the FirmwareFeatures string value from spamamadeus's SMBIOS.plist for his board that he posted in his guide, but I am not sure where he got the value - possibly did a conversion of something in the one he created with Chameleon Wizard.
It did get me to the installation and on into the setup and desktop, so I can't complain. I suppose I could try copying the EFI folder to root and see if it will boot, or possible putting it into the EFI partition on the HDD.
Not sure if the HDD EFI should be HFS or MSDOS since the X58 has no UEFI BIOS.
Used MultiBeast with these selections:
