I was wondering if the forum members wouldn't mind checking reviewing my checklist for my ML upgrade to give me some peace of mind.:?:

My basics are Core i5-2500K - Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 PowerColor AX6850 1GBD5-DH Radeon HD 6850, SSD and Regular HD.

My plan of action is as follows:

  1. Prepare 2 unibeast sticks using latest upgrade of "Install Mountain Lion" on MacBook Air. Remove ATI6000Controller.kext from USB stick #2 for this method(Mountain Lion 6XXX GPU Issues - FIX INSIDE!) of getting the ATI 6850 to work.
  2. CCC backup
  3. Upgrade Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 to UEFI bios.
  4. Adjust bios settings and switch to onboard graphics for hopefully the easier way (Read if you are having problems with graphics and getting Mountain Lion Installed) of installing ML to work with ATI 6850.
  5. Remove ATI 6850, Boot from ML Unibeast usb stick and install.
  6. Run Multibeast for audio, network, and SSD trim.
  7. Reboot, test, shutdown.
  8. Reinstall 6850 and switch back to GPU.
  9. Reboot and test.

I will also copy my current ATI6000Controller.kext for backup as it may have my device id, etc. as it may still be the one from my first Easybeast install.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
