Hey all, I have a slight problem with a few things on my hackintosh laptop.
I have a Lenovo G780 (Model 2182). Currently, I have Mavericks 10.9.3 installed on the machine, and have the essentials running. I currently have sleep support, battery percentage, ethernet, USB, and WiFi. While this is a great feat for me after attempting to get the OS to even boot for 2 months (I am not a smart person when it comes to OS X. Thus the reason I'm trying to learn it.), there are several flaws that are preventing me from truly using its full potential. Currently, I have to boot into safe mode (-x), otherwise I get a kernel panic. Even more strange, if I boot into safe mode (-x) on just the hard drive, I always get a kernel panic. So for right now, I have to use the install disk to boot.
I believe this is a problem with apple's cpu power management kext, as it plainly states it on the kernel panic screen, but installing the patched version from Multibeast seems to have no effect. Any idea what is wrong? Or if I'm doing something wrong?
It also might be good to mention that I had to tell Multibeast to install Chimera onto the hard drive 5+ times before it actually worked and would allow my computer to boot from the drive. Again, human error of some sort or computer error? Not sure.
The major concern of mine is audio. The laptop has a Conexant Cx20590 audio card on it. After a bit of searching, many reboots, and a lot of hard drive switching, I have come to the conclusion that I need an edited DSDT, and a patched Apple HDA.
My problem is that I am completely clueless when it comes to this, and would truly appreciate help from someone who knows what they're doing. All I know is that I need MaciASL to edit a DSDT, and would need a custom one due to the fact that I use several custom parts as compared to the normal model of the G780.
As my main main purpose of getting this to work was to learn the Mac OS and Logic Pro, functioning audio is rather high on my priority list. Furthermore, I frequently use skype to talk with friends, family, and clients, so a working webcam and mic-line in would also be very nice to have, although not completely neccesary.
Bottom line, I need someone to either walk me through this, or do it for me. As I am rather new to this, any other recommended patches would be nice.

Thank you for your time and hopefully your help!
TL;DR:
Mavericks 10.9.3 installed on Lenovo G780. Need sound and Apple CPU Power Management kext working. Possibly need custom DSDT. Unable to boot without safe mode. Multibeast seems to not like my laptop.

Kindof. Won't detect any devices. Might just be Safe-Mode.
- Keyboard
- USB
- Battery Percentage
- Ethernet
Not working:
- Audio
- Trackpad
- Apple CPU Power Management Kext
Incl. patched version from Multibeast
- Nvidia GPU
Unless someone found some strange loophole, I know it won't work.
Untested:
- Webcam
- Mic In
- Anything in normal mode.
See below
Issues:
- Cannot boot without safe mode
- System clock changes when switching between OS X and Windows 8.1.
Minor issue. Nothing to worry about, although nice if patched somehow.
