I have an Asus G73Sw Sandy Bridge laptop and I've gone through this tutorial: tonymacx86 Blog: iBoot + MultiBeast: Install Mac OS X on any Intel-based PC.

Everything went smoothly despite having to use the PCIRootUID=1 command to get the initial install setup. After that, I used multibeast and the 10.6.7 update as directed and rebooted, however now I cannot boot OS X. I can get to the chameleon bootloader screen, but when I try to boot, it gets stuck on the apple logo screen. When I boot verbose, it goes almost immediately to the apple screen. I've tried using the PCIRootUID=1 command again but it still doesn't work, and I don't think it's necessary considering I checked the box indicating the use of that command in Multibeast.

Computer Specifications:
Intel Core i7 2630QM 2.0GHz
8GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 460M 1.5GB
2 Momentus XT SS Hybrid Drives
-Windows 7 x64
-Mac OS X 10.6.7 (not working :[)

I've done two other hackintosh installs before with the same error but I have always been able to fix it by viewing the verbose code and troubleshooting. Any ideas other than another install? Thanks in advance for any help you might have to offer.

Edit: Now using Chimera bootloader. Gets stuck at HDAEnabler.

bump. anyone?
