[Update June 27, 2012]

The build is finished successfully.

[Original]

I have built computers for many years but never a Hackintosh.

I am trying to build one with the hardware (listed below). I got OSX Lion 10.7.2 installed and updated to 10.7.3. It boots from the USB stick. Did not try any devices except USB and DVD-ROM drives.

I also updated the motherboard BIOS to fix the power management issues.

I am not sure how to use MultiBeast. I am not able to find a DSDT. I tried using P8Z68-V Pro DSDT and the machine stopped booting.

Any help with this step is appreciated.

I tried easybeast with system utilities in multibeast. All other options are unchecked.

The system does not boot after that: neither from USB nor from HD.

I had to reinstall all over again. Not sure where to go from here.
 
Yes. I did look into creating my own DSDT. But the patch list in the post does not contain a patch for my MB.

I am not quite sure what that means. I am still trying to understand what patching involves.
 
I tried using EasyBeast once again with the newer version of MultiBeast (4.3.2).

Result is the same whether I boot directly from the HD or USB then switch to HD.

I gave -v option during the boot and the last three lines on the screen are:

Waiting for DSMOS...
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
DSMOS has arrived

It just stays there. If I understood it right the power management issue should be taken care of by the modified BIOS I flashed.

If someone can point me in a direction, I can take it forward. At this point, I am not sure what I should do next.
 
Did you check off the NullCPUPowerManagement kext?
 
NullCPUPowermanagement seems to be on by default.

I could not uncheck it in MultiBeast.

After installatiion I removed the NullCPU kext from System/Library/Extensions.

Same thing happened while booting.

It stopped after saying DSMOS arrived but there was no error about CPUPowerManagement.

No progress is made. I cannot see any errors on the screen. It seems to be waiting for something to respond.

At this point I can put the computer to sleep by pressing the power button. If I wake it up it just waits again.

Is there a way to get more information than -v flag?

What devices are misbehaving compared to booting from USB before installing the bootloader on the SSD.
