Hi all,
I just finished my build, but I'm having some boot errors.
Here are my specs:
-Intel i7 3770
-16gb 4gbx4 1333Mhz Patriot Series 5 memory
-Gigabyte GA-Z77x-D3h F15 Bios rev.1.1
-Internal videocard using the vga port.

Here's what I've done so far:
-Downloaded and installed Mountain Lion to an 8gb usb drive using Unibeast
-Booted from the usb drive in safe mode (as it would not boot in regular mode)
-Formatted HDD and installed Mountain Lion to computer
-Rebooted in safe mode (-x)
-Ran Multibeast 5.0.3 and installed Maolj's Atheros Ethernet, HW Monitor Application, Chimera v1.11.1 r1394 Boot loader, Chameleon 2.0 Default Theme, and User-DSDT or Easy DSDT
-Ran Chameleon Wizard and edited /extras/smbios.plist to be first mbp 9,2, then 9,1, and currently 10,1.
-Ran Chimera Updater to 1.11.1
-Reboot and got stuck at the loading screen with an infinite spinning thing.
-Reboot with verbose and the system seemed to stall on the following messages:

BootCacheControl : Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist : 2 No such file or directory
macx_SUCCESS
Waiting for DMOS...
[IOBluetoothHCIController][start] -- Completed
Previous Shutdown Cause: -128
DSMOS has arrived
Warning: IOPlatformPluginUtil : getCPUIDInfo: this is an unknown CPU model 0x3a
-- power management may be incomplete or unsupported

-After hours of research and trial and error, the only way I've found to get a successful boot is with the following boot flags:

GraphicsEnabler=No boot flag -x -v

I can get into the system in safe mode, but I have no idea how to get past the errors in normal mode.

I'd love any advice I can get!

Thanx
 
Update:
Just finished reinstalling Mountain Lion Installed the following dsdts using multibeast:

UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation
Network>Maolj's AtherosL1cEthernet
Disk>TRIM Enabler
FakeSMC Plugins>HWMonitor Application
Misc>PS/2 Keyboard/Mice an...
System>Patched AppleIntelCPUP...>OS X 10.8.0
Bootloaders>Chimera 1.11.1 r1394
Boot Options>Generate CPU States
System Definitions>Mac Pro>Mac Pro 3,1

Booted verbose and stalled

Decided to boot with these flags: "GraphicsEnabler=No boot flag -x -v"

Booted successfully. I opened Chameleon Wizard and edited smbios.plist to be MBP 9,1. Boot failed, so I tried 10,1. It still failed.

At this point I discovered that I could boot in safe mode without "GraphicsEnabler=No boot flag" if I used HDMI instead of VGA.

Booted in safe mode with HDMI and no VGA.
YES!! Successful boot!

Booted verbose and got the following message before the system stalled:

[IOBluetoothHCIController][start] -- Completed

I you know what this error is or what in the world is going on, please reply. Or else I will need to call the repair man to repair my wall since I've been
:banghead:ing.

Greets -_-
