You need to provide more details. What are you selecting in Multibeast? Keep in mind we are not sitting behind you seeing what you're doing and our telepathic abilities are minimal.

Sorry about that, I first started with the same selection as Yo Mang http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...-3930k-gtx670-sabertooth-x79-56k-warn-18.html as him and I have identical hardware but when I install it says installation failed so I decided to just install easybeast first due to my motherboard not have a dsdt but I received the same message. The only thing I was able to install was boot options under "customization"

You should look in your install.log to see the reason for failure. Use Console.app, then choose install.log under /var/log.

I did what what you suggested after trying to install easybeast and reaching the "installation failed" message, i checked the installer log and this is the message i received:

localhost Installer[456]: Package Authoring Error: Infinite loop between <choice> start_ * attribute and mixed state aborted.

I was told by another user I might have a bad kext, if that is what this message indicates, how would i go about locating and fixing it???

Run Console.app to display your system.log. You could probably find the kext that is causing trouble just by looking at that, but it is probably easier to force a cache rebuild... so use Kext Wizard and choose 'Rebuild cache" and view the system.log while it is working. You should see some messages from kextcache that indicate the problem.

If all else fails, do a clean install...

You need to reboot, then bring up Console, then run Kext Wizard to rebuild caches. As you can see above, kextcache will only retry so many times before giving up. It doesn't reset its counter until you reboot.

The idea is just to get some information about what kexts are invalid/corrupt.

Is this a fresh install using Mac App Store purchased ML?

Yes it's ML 10.8.2 downloaded from the App Store I installed using the unibeast method and redownloaded the app from the App Store and performed a clean install as you suggested

OK, try what I said above. We need to know the messages from the *first* kextcache failure...
