Heya, newbie here. :)

I'm trying to get my first Hackintosh setup running.
Here's my spec:
- GA-EX58-UD3R
- i7 920
- GTX260

So what I've done so far is:
- Installed Mac OS X 10.6.3 (successfully)
- Updated to 10.6.7 (successfully)
- Used MultiBeast for drivers etc. (partially successful, internet did work)

The audio did not work, so I tried various things, it ended with a third try of MultiBeast and the installing of EasyDSDT. I had downloaded the DSDT of my mobo from the database and put it on the desktop.

Right now the OS won't load properly, I get past the Apple loading screen, but stuck on a blue screen right after.
I have tried these start commands:
PCIRootUID=1
PCIRootUID=1 -x
PCIRootUID=1 -v
PCIRootUID=1 -f
And combinations of them.

I don't know what I can do to get back into the OS and fix things.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot get into the OS, even though I could an hour ago.

Help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT:
After reading more posts of other people, I gave another start command a try:
PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No -v

And it got me into the OS, I'm now going to remove all kexts and redo it.

EDIT2:
Not a good idea...

Everything went down the drain, have to reinstall.

EDIT3:
I have wiped the HDD and reinstalled the system.
MultiBeast settings:
UserDSDT
System Utilities > Rebuild Caches
System Utilities > Repair Permissions
Audio > Realtek ALC8xx > ALC8xxHDA
Audio > Realtek ALC8xx > AppleHDA Rollback
Network > Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx Ethernet
Boot Options > PCI Root ID Fix
System Definitions > Mac Pro 5,1
OSx86 Software > All

My sound is fixed, but I still have a blue screen when I boot, which I have to get rid of by turning my monitor off and back on. I hope there's a fix for that, 'cause it's quite annoying.

So just the blue screen and I'll have my first full-functioning Hackintosh build. :)
 
Try VBIOS=Yes

If it helps, you can add this option to the boot plist:
<key>VBIOS</key>
<string>Yes</string>
