Hi All,
I finally got it working on this motherboard, and it turned out to be easier than previously thought. I'll go through the mistakes I had and then how I got it working.
The errors:
At first, I had errors galore. Couldnt find mach_kernel (even on unibeast 5.0.1), had issues with reboot loops before getting to installer, etc. etc.
The fix:
I realized that I had made my unibeast disk incorrectly. Instead of doing the simple erase button on disk utility, I needed to do a partition on the flash drive. I did a 1 partition flash drive and checked the master boot record button. After this and running unibeast, I started getting a deadbeef kernel panic, as stated elsewhere in the forum.
To fix that, I just added a boot flag '-no-zp'. That was the ONLY boot flag I needed to get to the installer. After that, yosemite installed easily with no problems, and I didn't even need the -no-zp bootflag to boot into yosemite.
I then ran multibeast, and voila! No errors. No bootflags.
I haven't tested audio because I just use a usb dongle for that. I haven't tested all of my usb ports, but sometimes that was an issue for me in mavericks as well. iMessage not working, as expected.
Also, as expected, paid videos in itunes dont work...in fact, they freeze my machine when trying to play. I already suspected this would be a problem though, so no worries.
I don't have wifi/bluetooth so I can't test continuity/handoff....will work on that in near future.
My machine:
