Latest version of UniBeast with boot flags GraphicsEnabler=Yes and USBBusFix=Yes solved the hang on boot. After install use the USB to boot and run MultiBeast EasyBeast and add GraphicsEnabler=Yes and USBBusFix to the boot flags.

Everything works oob except for sound and ethernet.
Use VoodooHDA for sound and realtekRTL8100 binary for ethernet.

Nice build. Do you do anything extra other than using the boot flag "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" to get the GT 630 to work?

EDIT: I seemed to have solved the problem. PCIROOTID = 1 (was previously 0), and everything seems fine now

Thats odd. On my system i'm using PCIRootUID = 0 as one of my flags. If I use 1 i get a KP. Odd. Glad its working for you!

Hi, I am new to Hackintosh building.

I have the same MB as you (MSI G41M-p33 Combo). How do you make your MB to boot from a USB Drive? Did you put Unibeast on the USB drive or on a DVD?

I am currently trying to install Snow Leopard on my PC using iBoot and OSX installation DVD, however, I was never able to reach the installation screen.

I want to try using "Unibeast" since I've already made created a unibeast with mavericks on it, however, I don't know how to boot from it.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Did you set SATA to ACHI mode in your BIOS? because this MB doesn't have that option right? How did you do it?

Thanks

I installed Mavericks on this board and everything is working except for ethernet. I installed the RealtekRTL81xx-0_0_90 kext from multibeast. Is there something else that I can try to get it working?

Has anyone used software update? Is there anything I should know before trying the update?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you send me your EFI? I have MSI G41M-P33 Combo and no Ethernet.

Thanks
