Hi,
I have Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV rev 2.0 (http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4091#sp) with a G630 Pentium 2.7GHz, 2GB of RAM and onboard video. I followed http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html and booted the installer with '-v -x GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000' (after a bunch of trial and error) and did and install.
Post install I ran Multibeast 5.1.2 and selected UserDSDT or DSDT-free (with no aml on the desktop) and selected the Realtek 887 and Atheros LAN drivers, however I find that unless I boot in safe mode I get a spinning beachball on a white background (the mouse moves and so on).
I have tried another install with the AML from the DSDT database however that crashed earlier (something along the lines of expected 2 threads, only found 3) and in any case the guide says Gigabyte UEFI boards shouldn't need AML. Also the AML in the database is only F4 but the BIOS is version FE.
So, currently I can boot in safe mode and things sort of work, but it won't see my Time machine backup (supplied by FreeBSD+ZFS+AFPd) whereas my real MBP can. I also can't mount AFP shares (I tried mount_afp and got errno = 22). I am not sure if these are related to safe mode or not.
I have tried setting PCIRootUID=0 (and 1) but no change in behaviour. I also tried rolling AppleACPIPlatform.kext as per http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/74798-mountain-lion-10-8-2-problem.html but no change.
Further, after I did some tests I think the npci and other flags are red herrings - I removed them and the system booted (with -x - without it still no joy).
I don't really know what safe mode does so it's hard to try things one at a time to try and find out more.. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for tracking down the problem I'd be grateful
Edit: I put the wrong CPU in originally
