Multibeast Installation Failure from Missing kexts

If tonymacx86's Multibeast shows installation failure then open the Mac application named "Console".

On the left side of the Console look for

/var/log

and open it by selecting the grey triangle.  Indented below you will see

install.log

Select install.log to show its contents on the right.  Now click the clear display button to have a clean console.

(Re)run the MultiBeast Package to generate the console output that will help diagnose the installation failure.  The console should now have a lot of text. Scroll to the end and start eyeing up the output from the bottom looking for the following:

***FakeSMC is not the problem and the list above will vary between systems***
The problems are the kexts such as WinbondW836x.kext. To resolve the problem by moving the problem kexts to my temp directory. Open Terminal and change directory to tmp directory

cd /tmp

Then for each problem kext found above move it to the tmp directory with the following commands.

sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/<my bad kext>.kext .

Do the above for each problem kext. Rerun Multibeast and you should be ok. If you still have an failure double check the install.log for any kexts that may have been missed.

If you still have problems or have a different problem search the forums at TonyMacX86.
