I think I am having issues with MultiBeast.

I have an Intel core i7 Sandy Bridge built with a JetWay JNAF92-Q67 mobo. This system is intended to run Pro Tools HD PCI - that's why Im using the Jetway mobo.

Ive tried both SL and Lion installs using iBoot and Unibeast methods. Everything goes great in both cases, my system will boot all day using Unibeast on a USB or iBoot on a CD. I can then boot into the HDD install and everything is great........until I install MultiBeast!

Once I install Multibeast, the system gets stuck at the Apple Logo screen, the spinning gear locks up. Whether I try to boot from HDD< Unibeast, or iBoot....same problem

Im trying everything I can find, unfortunately there's not much info on the Jetway board, no DSDT, etc.

Any advice from the experts out there?

YES! I figured out the problem using verbose boot to see where it was hanging up.

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleINtelCPUPowerManagement) timed out

I was able to make a couple of changes using Multibeast tools. I used EasyBeast with these 2 options:
1. Drivers & Bootloaders/Drivers/System/Patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/OS 10.7.4
2. Customization/Boot Options/32-bit GraphicsEnabler=No

I'll upload some screenshots soon. Hopefully this thread will help someone who's having similar boot problems. Even if they are not exactly the same. You have to use the verbose boot to discover your problem. I've done about 35 installs in the past week, tried everything. This was a breakthrough day.
