The point of this Hackintosh is to be a big screened media room type build for my parents and they wanted something simple so I thought I would make it a mac (thinking macs were simple). I have run into a whole bunch of problems from not being able to install OS to getting it installed, but then not being able to restart onto the hdd that holds the OS... It is beyond frustrating, so where it stands now the OS Mavericks is installed on the HDD and it is getting the boot0 error when I try to boot straight into it and if I first load the chimera boot loader that is on a usb, I get CPU Power Management errors or Kernel Panics depending on the flags I pass in. To install the OS in the first place I used the newest Unibeast with the newest Mavericks and used the flags [GraphicsEnabler=No cpus=1 -x -v] and that got me all the way to the desktop and then I used Multibeast and my theory is that I messed something up when installing stuff with multibeast, but I am honestly a noob at this and have no idea what I could have done, so yeah I followed tonymac's guide to the letter and I thought I looked everything up (such as the audio codec and such) to the best of my knowledge, but I just can't seem to get it working. Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks Guys
