No Intro to X screen on new install

[skapplin]

Using GigaByte GA-H61N-USB3 motherboard. After a number of bumps in the road I have managed to get through booting the UniBeast flash drive and installing OS X Lion on a properly formatted hard drive. Then a restart upon completion gets through the Apple logo and spinning gear, then to a gray screen that should be just prior to the Intro to X opening that precedes the Setup Assistant. I have an active cursor but the startup just hangs.

I have tried booting into safe mode as well as booting in verbose mode. Unfortunately, no success. Safe mode startup eventually ended with the No Entry icon displayed over the Apple logo.

I am using the DVI video out on the motherboard - Intel HD2000. Although I do have a third-party video card it appears that it is not working or the motherboard's slot is defective.

Would certainly appreciate any suggestions to get his working.

Did you ever get this solved, I'm having the same issue of the no-entry over the Apple while trying to boot to the installer (but without the graphics card)
