Hello guys, i am new in Mac zone..So excuse me for my lack of knowledge or any stupid mistakes i may make/say.. ;)

Yesterday i bought Mac X lion from app store and i managed to install Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 from the usb drive..
At first i didn't have sound ,internet , and my graphics card wasn't recognized..
After That i used the multi beast and i installed a DSDT.aml file for my motherboard ,system utilities & kext utility. Nothing else.
After restart, my graphics card worked fine , so i fixed the internet ,through next wizard by loading an already fixed IONetworking.kext..So i had internet too..
Then i installed VoodooHDA-2.7.2 and my sound was fixed as well..
So almost everything were ok..
Then comes the strange part..After all these when i shutdown my Mac and try to restart/boot again ,Sometimes boots normally ,sometimes not..Without changing anything ,every single time i try to boot.. in Average , it needs 3 times to boot..I don't know why..
I already tried -x -v -f ,but nothing seems to bypass this unusual crazy issue. It's like my Mac has it's own will.. :p

My system is :

Motherboard: ASUS RAMPAGE 2 EXTREME
CPU : INTEL CORE I7-920 2.66 GHZ LGA1366
RAM : CORSAIR TR3X6G1600C8D DHX DDR3 6GB (3X2GB) PC3-12800 (1600MHZ) TRIPLE CHANNEL
Graphis Card : GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX480 GV-N480D5-15I-B 1.5GB PCI-E


Here is my ChameleonBoot :

These are some screenshots from the <Panic > screens during the failing boots attempts

when i try with -x -v stacks like this..

If i use -f -v , stacks at the same point and says "waiting for root device "

and the times i boot it normally shows me this (it's the same screen i just shot each half separate)

If someone faced the same problem or have any recommendation feel free to let me know..
Also If you need more info let me know as well..

Thanks in advance ,even for reading all these.. :p
 
I have the exact same problem. Without changing anything my hackintosh, on startup it decides seemingly randomly on whether it will boot properly without kp's. It almost always has something to do with (another seemingly random) some IO family kext.

What I mean to say is: Bump.
