Kernel Panic booting from unibeast usb drive

[markehh]

Hi everyone,

I'm stuck with my new build and I need some help. It's pretty close the the ivybridge builds in the buyers guide:

i5 3570k
Gigabyte ga-z77x-ud5h - latest bios
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Windforce 2X NVIDIA Graphics Card - 2GB
8gb ram

Basically when I hit f12 and select the ML install usb drive I get a kernel panic, booting -v shows it stopping on atherosL1cEthernet: Ethernet address but maybe the problem lies in the text before? I have attached a picture (sorry about the quality).

I have followed the instructions about what to enable or disable in the bios. One internal drive is connected a 7200rpm 160gb drive. I also have keyboard, mouse and install usb drive connected, I did have a few errors because the drive was in a usb 3.0 port but I moved it and that worked.

I created a new boot usb drive from ML installer using the latest unibeast, I also have another usb drive created with an older version of unibeast that worked without problems on my old pc. Both have the same problem so I think that can be ruled out.

I'm not sure what my next move is? Any help would be great

Not a kernel panic, it would say "panic" and have a large block of numbers. This is just hanging.

Go to BIOS and find the setting for VT-d and set it to "disabled".

Yea, sorry I just classed it as that because of the 'kernel panic' screen that appears. I'll give that a go, thanks.

No luck it was already disabled.

It seems it just won't boot with the gfx card installed. I was able to install and run everything fine with the hd4000 graphics.

Anyone have any tips?

Maybe try the official Nvidia drivers? Remove the graphics card and boot to the Desktop using onboard graphics. Download and install the Nvidia drivers. Quit and install the graphics card. Boot and see if it works.

thanks I'll get on that now

I'm starting to think I should have bought a 660ti but I thought this would work the same
