I'm on a super tight budget. I picked up a MSI H81M-E33 for $28. It is listed here as having compatible Audio and LAN: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-hardware-discussion/100568-latest-haswell-lga1150-motherboard-info.html http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H81M-P33.html


I also picked up a cheap Pentium G3220 Haswell 3.0GHz which I know is only currently working with Mountain Lion and doesn't have supported video.


I started with patching the bios with CodeRush’s PMPatch: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-pmpatch-uefi-patching-utility/


I took a guess at the bios settings (there aren;t any guides with the MSI bios) I made a unibeast installer on one of my other hacks and boot through verbose mode to a black screen. I've tried an older 7200gt and 9500gt that both work in other hacks.


Any advice on Bios settings? Do I need to disable the onboard video (not sure how to do that). If the tonymac methods aren't going to work, is there another method I should consider? Any boot flags I should try? I've tried -v with one of each of these: npci=0x3000, PCIRootUID=0, GraphicsEnabler=No, -x. I can pull a hackintosh compatible GeForce GT 240 out of another rig (kind of a pain) if y'all think it is a video card issue.


Thanks in advance.
