Hi Wira,

I have successfully installed Mavericks on the below:-

* Gigabyte GA G41M Combo (2.0 rev)
* Q8400 2.66Ghz
* Coolermaster Hyper 212
* Coolermaster Ex2 (525)
* Eah 5750 (Ati Radeon)
* WD 160GB HDD

Ive run the Multibeast and the ethernet, audio and video seems fine...I have yet to update as ive yet to configure the driver for the GC. ive managed to download the kexts for it, but i dont know how to run it!

This rig of mine had previously booted W7. Now that i have installed the HAck, can i slot in the other HD (W7) and dual boot it or bootcamp/emulation ware is the only way ?

What i am asking is ...if i boot with both HDDs, will the mobo be able to boot windows, since its settings have already been changed. Tq

Hi Wira,

Thx for your reply.

* i already have a HDD with W7 in it, it was what i was running b4 the hack. So, as you say that i can boot from 2 different HDD, then, i can just connect the HDD which has W7 in it and boot...right ?

* regarding the GC, the hack which i installed does not have any setting for resolution or a 2nd monitor, it only has a single option and the current resolution is not a perfect fit. So, i assumed that i need to further tweak the GC.

* if i dont have to install any further kexts, then how do i change the resolution and 2nd monitor settings...

Please reply. Thank you.

aND yeah, i forgot to mention... i had received a lot of error messages upon executing the Multibeast...will post it here later...

Hi Wira,



These are the error messages which i received upon finishing the installation via Multibeast...





I will later post the info about the rest of the hardware built...

* No settings ..oh dear....hw to adjust then .....
* i already tried connecting the second monitor....it works whn the bios is being booted...but does not work when the OS starts.

Ok...will post it later today.....thx

...so there is nothing for me to fix or worry about the warnings...is it.

I already did that...but still i do receive the warnings... I think i ddnt choose the right settings in the M/beast.... will post it here...maybe u can tell me which setting to use ..in M/beast... thank you..

yeah the latest...from tonymacx..6.3 for mavericks..

actually ..i did not any kexts for GC form tonymacx.....as i couldn't get for my GC model. So i got it from here http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3643-ati-radeon-hd-5750/

But i don't know how to install it. I guess i need to copy it to the system folder ...but not sure of the path.

here it is


and yeah i saw your link above... .just downloaded it....hw am i suppose to install it ? via Multibeast ? or copy and paste ? Thx

* downloaded, clicked the zip file, it extracted 'kext utility.app'
i clicked the kext utility app and a list texts open up as shown in the download page

when u say drag and drop the kext, u mean the kext which had downloaded on the other page ?


* my does have an on board vga output and i also have a EAH 5750 attached to the mobo.
* so if i am connecting to the monitor via the Eah 5750, do i still have to enable the internal GPU in the bios ?

sorry ....super noob to hackintosh

I tried it yesterday .... But nthg seems to change.... Still no settings for monitor resolution .....
I can't read ur screen capture..... Too blurred...

Sorry... Was using my phone earlier.... Couldn't view.

Thanx u hav been very helpful....
