H61N USB3 IvyBridge

[jrzjorge]

Using H61N USB3 MOBO f8 bios
i3 IvyBridge 3225 CPU
no video card
using onboard hd4000
500 gig hd
4 gig ram
dvi cable

I can not get the darn thing to boot at all

Using unibeast to boot
Reach the usb boot prompt, when pusing enter it goes to black screen
flashes the apple sign and reboots the system back to the usb prompt

I have the bios set with the proper settings

Only downside to those steps is I can not boot into the os...
i have tried the -x and -v
pcirootuid=0 or 1
ge=no, yes

i reach the unibeast option...
whatever i input it simply reboots the system back to unibeast option

such as these in a string - -x -v -f acpi=off PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No ( or Yes)

unfortunately my board is not supported for UEFI

Installing an Ivy CPU on a Sandy board requires a BIOS update to support the CPU. Have you checked the GA website for your board and updated the BIOS if it is available? Without BIOS support for the CPU, you will not get any OS to run on the system.

I have indeed updated the bios to the current offered....
i dont understand why I am unable to make it work?

I boot to unibeast and as soon as i press enter the screen flashes the apple sign and then is quickly rebooted

For an Ivy Bridge processor, I believe you have to use Bridgehelper. Use BridgeHelper 5.0 for 10.7.5 and BridgeHelper 4.0 for 10.7.4.
