I was able to install (Snow Leopard) Mac OS 10.6.3 on my new desktop without a problem, from the retail DVD. I installed the combo update (10.6.8) and I restart the machine after running the multi beast installation, then it goes to the apple loading screen, and then the display cuts out. After the initial Apple loading screen.

I also attempted to install Lion using Unibeast (Erasing the Snow Leopard install via disk utility). The installation process is complete, and the user is prompted to restart. When restarting, the normal apple load screen comes up (a background with the apple) but then nothing comes up but a blank apple background along with the mouse cursor which can be moved around the screen.

The HD was repartitioned each time we went to reinstall either system. We tried reinstalling either system multiple times to no avail. The regular (Snow Leopard) Mac OS 10.6.3 loads and installs fine and boots up using iBoot, but we cannot seem to get the system to recognize the drivers:

1) installing the drivers using multi beast for 10.6.3
2) upgrading to 10.6.8

Niether seem to work

Here is the information:

Monitor: 32" Samsung TV (used via HDMI hookup)

RAM: 8GB DDR3 Memory (removed 4G for installation)
1 TB Hard Drive

Optical: DVD-Super Multi drive
Video: Intel HD Graphics
Lan: Integrated LAN 10/100/1000; Wireless LAN
BIOS: P02-A2

Attached are also the BIOs presets we used:


Any feedback would be most helpful!

Have you tried typing -x when booting booting?
Also try GraphicsEnabler=NO -x
 
I am also have the same problem, but I used Unibeast to install mountain lion only. Is it something we are doing wrong?
