I could not find very many builds similar to mine with Mountain Lion, so I thought I would share my progress.

Mobo: MSI Z77MA-G45
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 (Ivy Bridge)
GPU: Intel HD 4000 (Integrated Graphics)

After many failed and inconsistent runs with MultiBeast 5.1.3, I found running MultiBeast in "phases" worked best.

  1. EasyBeast only
  2. Customization only
    • PCI Root ID Fix (Optional: VGA* only)
    • Instant Menu (Recommended)
    • Generate CPU States
    • Use KernelCache
  3. Drivers
    • Audio > Realtek ALC8xx > Without DSDT > ALC892
    • Network > Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx Ethernet v0.0.90

After restarting I noticed the HD 4000 graphics were not being used, and About this Mac > More Info > System Report... > Graphics/Displays confirmed the kext was not loaded.

My Revision ID is 0x0009, so I added
Code:
<key>HD4000PlatformId</key>
<string>9</string>
to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist, and after restarting the HD 4000 kext loaded! Only when using a monitor with DVI...

* To get Mountain Lion to boot with VGA, PCIRootUID=1 must be set in Kernel Flags. To force resolutions other than 1024x768x32, Graphics Mode must be set to <Width>x<Height>x<Depth> in /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
Code:
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1440x900x32</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0 PCIRootUID=1</string>
Unfortunately this does not load the HD 4000 kext, but it is the best I can get with VGA.
It looks like I will be upgrading to a monitor with DVI input, because this mobo has DVI-D which does not support analog to VGA connectors.

Has anyone used VGA another way?

Thanks to all the threads that got me this far.
