I just thought I'd give my progress on installing Mavericks, since following the guide's flags didn't work for me.
I did everything the install guide said except for the flags... I used these: -x, GraphicsEnabler=No, npci=0x2000
That got me to the start of the install, I erased the destination drive as they suggested, renamed it Mavericks and installed.
I rebooted into the Maverick disc, using the same flags in order, to load up multibeast.
I should note, I have 2 SSD's the other one is my main Mountain Lion SSD, still stuck back at 10.3 as the updates from the store and the downloads just kept giving me errors when updating. The Marericks drive was my ML backup that I tested updates on before reverting it with Carbon Copy Cloner to go back to safe.
I tried to migrate from my ML disc before running multibeast in the setup.. I wouldn't suggest it, the flags weren't working after I tried it this way.
After finally reinstalling a couple of times I figured out the best thing was to skip all the extras on setup and get to Multibeast. I used without DSDT. I checked the 898 audio setting which auto checks the HDA too for the end build, and I also loaded my old kexts from my ML install just in case except for audio.
I restarted and kept getting black screen. After figuring out it was the flag npci-0x2000 that wasn't getting me in, I edited the chameleon boot list in extras to add the npci-0x2000 flag.
One other note, in Multibeast, it auto checks under without DSDT, Mac3,1.. I check Mac 5,1 for the newest version, I've had no problems with this. It will show up as a 2010 machine instead of an early 2008.
Everything seems to be working great. I'd make sure software update doesn't auto update to avoid losing everything because of update errors. I'll be slowly migrating things over to the new drive but will still use the ML build until I'm confident everything's keen.
Anyone with any suggestions, please post. I am not an expert at all in hackintosh, I just read what people post, I watch youtube and I figure stuff out.. so if you have advice, bring it on.
Hope this helps anyone with the GA-X79-UD5 pro build from a year ago
