ok starting my first non custo-build,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856164011
I will be adding and editing this post with new info and reorganizing the info that may not be needed.
I have some info from the inside of the case and bios...
motherboard is listed as M4HM87P
not a ton of options in the bios... it is an AMI bios but the older ascii based one.. in order to boot I from the usb I had to make a change I didn't recognize...
I have the new haswell/iris pro hd5200 based brix pro. I am able to boot to the multibeast startup screen but no matter what option I put in I get a reboot just after the apple logo displays.
so I have the standard unibeast usb that I had used to build my customac mini deluxe.
I am going to try a few different things... rehabman turned me onto a thread about making a custom kernal, and I see the nuc users have had success with kernel edits also... then there is always clover which I know nothing about but see a great install guide in the forums...
hopefully i will make enough headway to provide details to let some of you smart people keep giving me clues on getting this going.. if this box works out it would be an nice and very powerfull micro-solution for people to use...
I am currently using the standard SATA based ssd and my only msata ssd is in use on my nuc. (non-compatible with hackintoshing hd4400
)
so far this has been one of the best community threads I have used in a very long time its great to see so many people offering help and knowledge to every one...
UPDATE jan 20 2014:
I have used rehabmans haswell patch for the mavericks kernel and now I am able to boot into the installer using safe mode.
having an issue where the keyboard is super sensitive. I get duplicate letters with a quick press of a key... not sure what that is.. I will try some more searches here to see if there is a fix for that... maybe bios related?
Update 2 switching to chameleon
Update 3 jan 21 2014
installed chameleon still have to boot into safe mode... also I do not see the drive I installed mavericks too...
here is what I see when I don't boot in safe mode but turn on verbose...
wont let me upload the picture so here is a link to it in my g+ https://plus.google.com/photos/102015032045721052554/albums/5971433453144316657
update 4 jan 22 2014
I am unable to see the ssd, harddrive, or msata ssd from csm... I can only see my usb stic... I am going to try resetting bios and starting over again .. when I put a drive that is formated with mbr it sees it just fine...
Update 5 jan 23 2014
with all the help from rehabman I have been able to get the system booting from a local drive. Had to use gdisk to convert the partition scheme from gpt to mbr after installing... this was done through a ubuntu live usb... working on settings with multibeast... this is all hit or miss with me since I don't know the best way to set procede with testing ...
UPdate 6 jan 25 2014
I almost feel like I should be starting these with "captians log" lol... anyway... progress made thanks to everyone here on this board... the IGPlatformID=0c260000 will allow you to boot without using safemode. it has also gone to sleep and come back. I have not attempted sound card yet but I think it uses the same as the nuc.
