Well I successfully booted into my hackintosh. I tried moving the intel kext files, but that didn't work. So I tried installing Maverick to my first 100GB partition I made, which took 2 days to make using gparted. But the first thing I tried to do was to erase the partition, and thus format it as journaled. It errored with a encryption disk error. WTF. anyway, I booted into Mountain Lion usb install and chose to erase from there and it had no problems. So I figured maybe Moutain Lion was more stable so I installed that to that first partition. This time it listed it after installation and I successfully booted into a graphical hackintosh via usb bootloader. I installed the chameleon boot loader via the chameleon wizard using boot0 and created the folder /Extra and saved a chameleon.Boot.plist thing there. Don't know if its actually using that or not. I edited it to have the key GraphicsEnabler and string No. I installed FakeSMC from multishit 5.5. I rebooted, booted into openSUSE and ran the script for updating grub2
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
in openSUSE. Rebooted and selected the OS X for 64-bit in the grub2 menu and it booted. But I had no audio and no wifi. I found the kext that worked with artheros AR928x from http://Olarila.com/kexts/ and installed using the recommended kext installer. In multishit I installed the Null cpu power thingy and also the ALC887 driver -Current/no dsdt. I also tried Legacy later.
So now I have wifi on my hackintosh.
What I don't have:
Audio -- System Preferences->Sound->Output says No devices. Don't Know what to do about this, searched and searched. I read my mobo manual and it specifically says ALC 887
USB- my usb seems flakey. It reads devices fine when they are plugged in b4 boot. But if plugged in after boot, it says that I didn't eject it correctly--which I'm not doing, I'm inserting it. Tried to be careful to just stick it in without any movement to make it think I was ejecting it.
non-flickering video. when I go to a new tab in Safari I get flickering on that initial screen. I'm sure I would also get it with any video, cuz the same thing happened on my virtualbox of hackintosh. I'm kinda afraid to do anything with video because once I installed FakeSMC and booted w/o usb it has given me better resolution.
I also don't know how to enter boot options such as -x for safe mode from grub2. I believe it's running the mach-kernel thing directly instead of using the boot file. I'll have to experiment with that. If I hit e, I can edit the grub2 entry and there is a list of arguments being sent, but I don't know if -x would work with that. Once you're booted how do you know if you are in safe mode? -- EDIT actually I just read that it says it at the login screen, I'll have to try -x.
EDIT
okay so I figured out that I wasn't using chameleon at all. I made my own menu entry in grub 2 and used multiboot /boot to boot into chameleon. Then I started messing with the boot options in chameleon wizard. I tried setting my SMBios thing to the two Sandy Bridge items. This works fine and I selected the SMBios in the chameleon boot plist ( if someone has trouble with the + sign not doing anything, click just below it). However neither of the two SMBios things made a difference in safari with new tab. Installed the intel kexts back from the intelhd_backup folder I made. This made a world of difference, it prevented me booting into hackintosh. Luckily I can boot into hackintosh just fine with that grub menu entry that bypasses chameleon. For some reason my wifi didn't work then, though. I moved the intelhd kexts back to the intelhd_backup folder and chameleon booted.
