I've gotten as far as the installer and have been able to install Mavericks onto an SSD, but when I go to restart, nothing happens. I try to boot from my hard drive and it goes to a black screen. I've booted via boot verbose to see what was going on and I keep getting the same error codes. It starts with "waiting for DSMOS" then it runs a few more codes finally stopping at " **** [IOBluetoothHCIController][SearchForTransportEventTimeOutHandler] -- missing bluetooth controller transport!"

here's a screen shot:

I've been told that this has to do with my Graphics card which is an EVGA Geforce 770. My friend, who has been helping me build my computer, has informed me that it also might have something to do with the fact that I don't have an on board graphics card on my processor. I've also been informed that the error codes that i've seen typically have to do with the graphics card and NOTHING to do with the bluetooth controller.

I made a post earlier just addressing the error codes: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/151855-missing-bluetooth-controller-transport.html

Please post anything you think could help.

Thank you.
 
try booting with -v nv_disable=1 and see if that will get you any farther.

It goes through to the same error codes then it says: NVDA: disabled by nv_disable=1 boot-arg for 3 lines then it continues with the: missing bluetooth controller transport

Yes! this worked! I was able to get through and install the Multibeast! I'm now able to boot off of my sandisk ssd. Unfortunately I'm still not able to get it to boot without using the bootflag you gave me. I've tried a few configurations and managed to get my dual monitors to work once, but nothing seems to be helping.

Here's my configuration: Screen Shot 2015-01-08 at 8.19.40 PM.png
What am i doing wrong?
Also I have a few videos of it booting via boot verbose, it seems to display different error codes.

Also on a side note; my disk drive keeps opening for no reason when I boot and idk if that is an indication of some other problem that I'm having.
 
You will always need the boot flags. You can add them to your org.chameleon.boot.plist boot flags with a text editor, plist editor, Xcode or Chameleon Wizard.

So apologies, I'm a bit of a newby, but wouldn't that keep my graphics card from working at all? When I booted with it off I noticed my safari other applications displaying only part of the graphical elements at a time. I've been getting bars and flashes constantly like it's still trying to load the graphics. Is that and issue I need to rectify in the multibeast?

Thanks again for all your help! I really appreciate it!

How do I go about doing this?
