HI guys...this is my first hackintosh build.
I followed the may buyer's guide pretty closely for a customac pro socket 2011...here's my system:
Intel i7-3930k Hexa-Core
Gigabyte LGA 2011 GA-X79s-UP5
EVGA Geforce GTX 660
Corsair vengeance 32gb DDR3 1600mhz
Sandisk extreme ssd 480 gb
I have it all hooked up and am trying to boot with multibeast from a thumb drive as per the instructions. At first, when I did it it would stall at the mac apple logo screen. So I started trying different flags and I still can't get to the install screen. I've tried pretty much all the flags i've seen on forums...
I seem to get the furthest with -x -v npci=0x2000
So where that ends up is:
** AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider
** AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider
and then a minute passes and it goes:
Still waiting for root device
and repeats that until restart.
I'm kind of at a loss. I keep reading something about Kexts but I'm not sure I understand how to install them if it's not booting...
Your expert guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Mike
