multibeast 5.0.2 wont install

Not open for further replies.
I kept running into the install failed message like some. Here's what finally solved it for me:

1. Ran check and repair on my OS disc
Sure enough, there were lots of permissions issues but even this was not solving the problem. Apparently you have to reboot after the repair and then try again, just running repair and then trying kept failing but once I restarted it finally installed.

I also did the following which may have helped -

Set BIOS to load optimized defaults, then re-set the AHCI mode.
(My prior BIOS settings worked w/ the old OS but this solved a frustrating issue where my comp kept restarting itself at the load screen on boot. I still had to use the USB drive to boot but before doing this I could not reboot into ML after the OS update.

Unplug all other USB drives and firewire drives.
This was also affecting my ability to boot into the pre-multibeast setup / post OS update state.

Now I just need to fix my mouse issues - left click doesn't want to work intermittently even after USB kexts. I'm thinking I'll have to do that old fix where you delete a certain kext again.

Hello all,

I'm another one with that one. kext files seem to be installed, but features are not enabled and I get error at the validation. Here's my install.log stuff:

I was having the same problem. The system here is an Intel DH55PJ with 4gb mem, i3-550 processor, Nvidia GTX240 video card 1gb, Seagate 250 GB hard drive. Initially, I tried updating from SL 10.6.8. I could never get it to work. Thank goodness I kept my old hard drive (80gb) with 10.6.8 on it and made some backups of things I needed of the larger hard drive. Unibeast worked just fine...installed onto a 8gb SD card and used it with a USB adapter. After doing a complete re-install on the 250gb drive things were looking better. Rebooted with the USB and started Mountain Lion, downloaded Multibeast and it completed fine. Tried to reboot but no bootloader. Booted off of USB again and ML booted. I had sound(Realtek ALC888), network but no boot loader was installed. I had to download and install Chimera by itself. The sytem is now working just fine.... Thanks Tony and Macman, I really appreciate it. Everyone...don't forget to click the little contribute button at the top of these pages. Show your appreciation for all the work these guys do.. :)
