I believe when you were booting using unibeast, the fakeSMC version that was used were the one loaded from unibeast instead of the one that you've installed in your PC.

My suggestion, boot up to your ML using unibeast, don't use easybeast/userdsdt. Instead, select the kexts manually. The FakeSMC is the one that you need to have, it is not optional, without it you can't boot directly from the HD. Install the one from the Multibeast, reboot, if everything running .. then go and work on the audio/ethernet.

I've just downloaded the latest Multibeast 5.1.2 (just released today), fiddled with it a bit, realized there is actually fakeSMC kext (standalone) in the Miscellanous drivers. How could i've missed it doh.gif
Will definitely try installing it tonight.
Do i have to install the fakeSMC plugins as well?

Thanks

The plugins is good to have, you can HWMonitor and have it showing all the temp & speed too .. I like it and my status monitor shows the CPU multiplier, so I know most of the time, the CPU is not strained smile.gif

Find a friend with Mac, buy from the online store and create a thumb drive. You need at least a Mac running SL. Else, ebay I guess is the best bet.

The latest Mac Mini should come with Mountain Lion, and I've no idea if you could download SL or Lion from Online AppStore anymore.

Any upgrade will surely breaks something, particularly the audio. So, as usual, download latest multibeast and the combo upgrade. Thing that didn't work and cause problem after 10.8.2 will be the old FakeSMC plugins. Run the combo upgrade and then multibeast before rebooting.

Installed fakeSMC from Multibeast 5.1.2. Upon rebooting, managed to get to white screen with Apple logo, then all is blank and monitor goes to sleep.
Tried PCIRootUID and GraphicsEnabler commands at chimera bootloader - no help.
I think it has booted into OSX because i hear Mac sounds when i randomly press on the keyboard, just that i can't see anything. Here are my specs again if anyone can help.

My specs:
Gigabyte H61MA-D2V
i5-3450
Apacer 8GB 1333Mhz
Seagate Barracuda 160GB
EVGA GTS 250

Thanks smile.gif

Do you need to do anything when booting up using Unibeast? If yes, you need to add the same thing into /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist

Set the PCIRootUID to 0 and GraphicsEnabler to Yes for your card.

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>PCIRootUID=0</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Yes. When booting up with Unibeast, i always have to key in PCIRootUID=0, otherwise the screen goes blank.

If i'm using tonymac's chimera bootloader, it should be /Extra/org.chimera.boot.plist that i'm editing right?

So, just to make sure. Booting at chimera using PCIRootUID and GraphicsEnabler commands won't cut it, the bootloader's plist needs to be edited right?

I am now dualbooting ML and Windows 7 in a single HDD.
Windows 7 was installed 1st, working well. Proceeded with ML installation via Unibeast (as above post), working well.

Upon installing Chimera/Chameleon, it brought me to the screen prompting me to choose OSX /Windows. Booting into Windows is fine. Booting into OSX gets me stuck at a white screen with Apple logo. Ran unibeast again with -v, stuck at
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin: :registerLPCDriver - failed to locate SMC driver.

Pls point me to the exact kext to install. This is the umphteenth time i installed ML...
Thanks

Can show me the guidelines of your installation or where you refer to?
I'm going to do a dualbooting hackintosh soon but not yet prepare well on installation steps.
