First off i tried making a hackintosh about 4 months ago with no luck, so i gave up after working on it for 3 days, and went back to windows, now i am back on it, after reading for a whole day, i took the plunge again.
I specs are as followed
Asus Sabertooth z77
I7-2700
16gb ram
kingston 120gb hyperx drive
800w corsair ps
usb keyboard/mouse
Nothing else is hooked up, no other drives, no accessories etc.

So if i just try installing i get the apple splash screen and never gets past that.
i have tried GraphicEnabler=No and no luck
I am able to do -x and install the OS
I then use unibeast and try several different settings there, and it will either reboot to same apple splash screen and hang or somethings just a Grey background with no apple logo. Most of the time i can -x again and reboot into safe mode but not all the time, sometimes i have to reinstall.
So on orginal install if i dont do -x, its gets to the following and hangs up

"AppleIntelE1000e: Ethernet Address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
AppleInterE1000e(info): Link is up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx"

After complete install before multibease (install via -x) when i restart it will get to the following before it hangds up

"DSMOS has arrived
[IOBluetoothHCIController][start1] -- completed"

That is where it gets stuck and never moves from.

Please any help would be great, i really want to get this going, and have read several people with same board get it working with ease. not sure what i am doing wrong.
 
Anyone with any ideas PLEASE!!!!

ok to start off with u r mixing ivy mobo with sandy cpu this is always a bad idea now ive said my peace.try with these boot flags dart=0 GraphicsEnabler=YES
this should work u dont mention a video card.
 
Ok, i will try this, i have no video card in there now, i took it out, its a GTS250, so its using the onboard intel HD3000.
I didnt realize the motherboard is ivy and the cpu is sandy. according to asus it supports the sandy.
I have been running this setup for about 6 months with win 7 no issues at all.

Ok, as i am writing this, it has gotten stuck on the same things.
 
i need more detail about your install method such as did u patch your bios yes or no.did u set igpu to use 64mb shared memory and use a dvi/hdmi vga isnt supported when u installed mutibeast did u use easy beast or dsdt free.for now try theses flags -v dart=0 cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=YES if kp take pic and upload.

Ok, i patched the bios, i set igpu to 64mb shared. I am using Displayport out of the motherboard.
I am booting off usb drive to do fresh install, did the -v, dart=0 cpus=1, GraphicsEnabler=YES and i get what you see in the attached photo.

Thanks for taking the time to help
 
ok now in bios disable the lan or lans then try again with boot flags
 
Ok, now i am stuck here, i disabled lan, and now seems to be stuck on bluetooth, but this motherboard doesnt have bluetooth, and i dont see any options in the bios for it either.hack_error_2.jpg
 
the fix for the bluetooth kp i already included was the cpus=1 ok try theses flags -v -f dart=o GraphicsEnabler=yes see where that gets u
 
I am making another USB with unibeast to make sure thats not a issue onto a new flash drive. and i will try it again.
