Noob w/ ethernet driver problem - current "CustoMac Budget ATX" build

[Kevin108]

My build is straight from http://www.tonymacx86.com/building-customac-buyers-guide-august-2015.html#CustoMac_Budget_ATX Core i5, 16 GB RAM, and the 120 GB SSD. It's been assembled nearly a year now, running Windows 7 and Linux Mint. It's a great performer, for sure.

Today I slicked the hard drive and decided to try OSX. I followed http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...untain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html Installation was easy enough, but MultiBeast 5.5.5 wasn't cooperative.

The installation routines for all the drivers and goodies went fine, full dialogues and everything, but nothing worked: no sound, no ethernet, etc. I was also given an error about an improperly installed VoodooHDA.kext I manually reinstalled VoodooHDA 286, including setting permissions.

After that, I tried running through MultiBeast again. At the conclusion, I rebooted. The loading screen gave way to a solid gray screen and the GUI never loaded. Restarts changed nothing, so I threw Linux back on to comfortably research my problem. I've done some searching here on the forum but not found anything particularly useful. I'm looking forward to tackling this again tomorrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After you installed drivers with MB did you repair permissions and rebuild caches? If you are booting with use kernel cache=yes, then use boot-arg -f to force reload all/rebuild cache.

GTX760 should work OOB without graphics enabler.

Change

<key>Graphics Enabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

to

<key>Graphics Enabler</key>
<string>No</string>

or remove it altogether from the ..boot.plist

I wound up double-checking my BIOS settings and doing a reinstall. Ethernet works fine now but I'm having trouble getting the sound drivers installed. Thanks for the help!
