Hello. Here is my build.
Intel Core I5-2500K
MSI Radeon 6950 Twin Frozr III 1GB (Since this card isn't supported, i use intel 3000 graphics, install kext and fix permissions)
Gigabyte Z68x-UD3H-B3 (Rev 1.0) , UEFI U1H Bios
12GB Memory (Memory slots 1-3=Gskill Sniper 1600 4gbs *2) (Mem slots 2-4= Gskill Ripjaws 1600 2gb *2)
HDD (Seagate Barracuda 160GB 7200rpm 8MB Cache)
USB keyboard/mouse
I have been successful in installing mac osx snow leopard 10.6. After that install, I ran update helper, updated to 10.8, didn't restart, put in intel 3000 kexts, ran multibeast 3.1 snow leopard edition, ran sysem utilities & the other settings and then reboot. However, i can't get into my 10.8 snow leopard OS through chimera or charmeleon 2.1. I have a feeling it has to do with my multibeast setup because if I boot with my IBoot cd, i get in the OS with no problems whatsoever. Does anyone with this board (1.0 or 1.3 the only difference is 1.3 supports PCI-E 3.0 v. PCI-E 2.0 in Rev 1.0 so it should be the same if you have 1.3) with this BIOS have a multibeast configuration or a configuration of programs i can use to get my system to boot up?
Here is some more info of what I did
1. I Read that U1H Bios does not need DSDT so i unchecked DSDT one time and checked it another (both with no dsdt on desktop) on multibeast. No dice.
2. Surprisingly, my network card worked straight out of the box so to say on lion 10.6. I didn't need a kext to turn it on. however, i still tried out the realtek one as it was recommended by other guides.
3.I used the realtek 8xx driver and the rollback one on multibeast for audio
4. Used chimera the first time and charmeleon with multiple combinations, no dice
5. tried many boot settings (graphicsenabler, safe mode, verbose, to no avail)
Hardware configuration
1. I decided to unplug all of my hard drives except for my seagate 160gb one. I have only my keyboard/mouse plugged in to USB ports (which work good as they are usb) when i install.
2. For installation purposes i took out 3 of my ram sticks. therefore, i only have one 4gb gskill sniper in.
3. My first boot device for installation was my dvd drive and after i reboot from the 10.8 update, i changed boot devices to my hard drive.
I also tried these with the 10.6.7 combo update & original snow leopard 10.6 install. Pretty frustrating. The fact that all of them boot from iboot did quell some of my frustration though. Also, i don't need any terminal commands to boot through IBoot 3.3. ive tried a bunch of combos for chimera-chameleon but didn't work.
Also, i do not encounter kernel panics when i try to boot from chimera or chameleon. All it does is show the grey apple screen with the apple logo and a spinning wheel. the wheel just keeps on spinning over and over... my hard drive stays active
but then stops lighting up after 3 minutes according to the indicator showing an idle HDD. i left it for 30 minutes once and the spinning thing under the apple logo on boot just kept spinning. When i reboot and boot from my iboot cd, it takes a minute or 2 if that to boot into my system. Hopefully i gave you guys enough information so that you can help me fix this problem. Thank you for your time.
