What procedure would you recommend for updating the bios to uefi if you already have a running system? I have the same board on F8. I also see you have the DSDT option checked on multibeast instead of easy beast. Are you using a DSDT file?

The reason I would like to upgrade is I am having issues with sleep where I get no video output upon waking the system. I was hoping this may help because I don't know what else to try.

Hi there, I have followed this guide using the very latest Unibeast. everything seems OK except my onboard graphics are very 'glitchy and bios keeps resetting itself on bootup.

Could anyone possible please have any ideas to help me?

Thanks.

Damien

Hello everyone, hope somebody can help me out.
I've been trying to upgrade to 10.8.4 for the last week, but I always get stuck when booting up (see attached pic), and I have removed both HDAkexts and RTL.kexts, added NullCPUPowerManagement.. with no luck. Tried many boards, installations, bootloaders, but can't get it work without an -x flag.

Thing is, if i safe boot, everything works bar the sound, and I have a 10.8 installation on another drive which is working just fine, tried moving sound, network, graphics kexts from that installation to the .4 one to see if replacing them would work... but that didn't work either.

My specs are:
- Z68X-UD3H-B3 (UEFI)
- EVGA GeForce GTS450 graphics
- i7 2600 processor

- Multibeast 5.4.1

I've had this setup for Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion (10.8) without a problem, tried to roll back to F12 but then I couldn't even install, so I'm on UEFI again.

Cheers,
Mario

Hi everyone!

I'm currently using VM Ware mountain LION to use this unibeast and multibeast. Also I have the mountain lion dmg on file saved on my desktop. My problem is whenever I ran unibeast with my usb drive, it always says failed. I already tried following the guide for unibeast exactly as it should be - aside of course the one that says purchasing the mountain lion dmg file from app store which I just downloaded from a t*****t site.

I'm still on the "trying to make a bootable USB" stage here....please help. I'm going to install this into an Acer i3 system with NVIDIA cuda.

Hello everyone,
I followed all the instructions and everything went fine, except One thing...
If i click on "about this mac" the the Desktop crashes and reloads, so i can't Open "about this Mac"
Has someone any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

if it failed, try to use another USB

This works great for me. Except, when booting my machine it does not go to Chamelon it goes directly to Windows MBR. I can only get in mountain lion if I use the install usb. How can I fix this?
