This document is based on my trial not to use ncpi=0x3000 chameleon bootloader option. And, to solve the issue of iMessages & Facetime not to log on. Conclusion; I can use HDMI sound output without using ncpi=0x3000, but iMessage, Facetime & iCloud log-on don't work. (You may can boot without ncpi=0x3000 by installing 'no Ncpi=.zip' file only, but I didn't try it)
You should refer this if you're new to install Maverick on AMD CPU platform :
http://macosx4pc.blogspot.kr/2013/11/maverick-mac-osx-109-installation-on.html
1. Kernel : Download & install this Andy Vandijck's kernel uploaded by Annold
* You should refer the URL above if you don't know how to replace it.
http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3736-amd-10910911092-kernel-with-sse3-and-opemu/
2. Download 'no Npci=.zip' file uploaded by carlo_67 & install by using Kext Utility or Kext Wizard.
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page-258
3. Remove npci=0x3000 from bootloader option by using Chameleon Wizard
4. Delete VoodooHDA at terminal or using other tools like muCommander
rm -r /Volumes/MLion/System/Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext
4. Install your Audio driver by using Multibeast :
I selected : Realtek ALCxxx -> Without DSDT -> ALC889 for GA-990FXA-UD3.
5. Run Kex Utility to repair Permissions for "S/L/E" & Updating system caches.
That's all!

Maverick (Mac OSX 10.9) installation on AMD CPU 8350 & NVidia 770 using kaanturkum's kernel
Some of you may read my document for installation of Maverick or Mountain Lion on Gigabyte B75M-D3H mainboard. At that time I recommend you not to try to install Mac OSX with AMD CPU because it's waste of time & your energy.
The motivation of my trial of installing Maverick at AMD CPU comes from here, Maverick mach_kernel for AMD :
http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3657-amd-fx-109-mavericks-kernel-nvidia-work/
Summing up, it works finally like Maverick at Intel CPU though some trial & errors for several hours, and here goes the steps I took.
Preparation : 8GB or larger USB stick, Real Mac or Hackintosh to create Unibeast USB booting disk & download Multibeast, Chameleon Wizard, Chameleon-2.2svn-r2266.pkg, cudadriver-5.5.28-macos etc.
My PC environment : AMD 8350 CPU (Octacores), ASUS GTX 770 GPU, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, RAM 32GB, SSD Samsung 830 128GB, Samsung T27B300 LCD, Lenovo USB keyboard, Logitech G1 USB mouse. Asmedia SATA3 2 port expansion card.
0. Partition USB stick : 7GB for Unibeast & 1GB for download
I recommend you to partition USB like this into 2 partitions : 1st for booting, 2nd for downloaded files in MBR type.
1. Creating Unibeast USB booting disk
I hope you are familiar with Unibeast already, the steps to create Unibeast USB is same as under Intel CPU environment. You may refer following URL to understand the concept of Unibeast & how to create it. I won't touch it in more detail here to save the time.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=202
2. Copy Apps useful or required to install Maverick into 2nd partition at USB stick
The first file should be AMD kernel you download the URL above, unpack & copy into the 2nd partition. And, other files to install Maverick at Hackintosh are Multibeast, Chameleon Wizard etc.
Chameleon Wizard : http://www.osx86.net/files/file/242-chameleon-wizard-422/
Maverick: http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=206
You're ready to install Maverick at AMD CPUs.
3. Prepare your PC to install to boot from your USB memory stick
No special BIOS settings are not required for AMD mainboard for me. I think Virtualization is enabled & AHCI for SATA. But, you need to change the hard disk to boot your USB memory stick at first. That's all.
Meanwhile, while booting from USB you created, you must specify the Chameleon bootload options at the PC of AMD CPU. I added like for your information: ([PCI configuration begin] & hangs without npci=0x3000 for me)
-v npci=0x3000
Other options like PCIRootUID=0, arch=x86_64, nosse3bit are not required for Maverick for me.
4. Installing Maverick is same as we do at Intel CPU, but do not reboot after finishing installation
Several issues for me when installing Maverick, but it's not the pervasive issues because I installed finally :
a. Partition Failure at Samsung 128GB SSD : No solution from googling, I just replace the SATA3 cable, then it worked. -.-
b. Installation not allowed at MBR partition type, so I selected GUID. But strange enough, cannot proceed installation with same error : partition with GUID type. I go back by pressing backward button, then make forward. It worked. Strange...
b. Installation failed at Unibeast : I replaced SSD with same one, and no issue anymore. But, there was no issue at the prior one in Windows environment. Strange...
Finally, the installation completed with "Install Succeeded" message. I open the terminal quickly at this point to prevent from automatic booting!
At the terminal, you have to replace the kernel with you downloaded (here, boot is your booting drive, and usb is your usb booted)
rm /Volumes/boot/mach_kernel
cp /Volumes/usb/mach_kernel /volumes/boot/
If you see "permission denied" error, please command like this :
sudo rm /Volumes/boot/mach_kernel
sudo cp /Volumes/usb/mach_kernel /volumes/boot/
You need to type in the password of administrator.
Now, you can reboot your Maverick installed PC to install other tools like Multibeast.
5. Install Multibeast, Chameleon Wizard etc.
Those steps are not special, but this is my org.chameleon.Boot.plist FYI: ( smbios for MacPro5,1 hangs but MacBookPro 8.3 works well.
<dict>
<key>EnableHDMIAudio</key>
<string>Yes</string>

<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>2</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
</dict>
That's all!
P.S:
1. npci=0x3000 leads no sound, but removing this option leads [PCI Configuration Begin] hang. I'm trying to find out the other solutions, but the tentative solution is to use "Voodoo driver without DSDT". Please let me know if anybody solves this issue without using Voodoo driver.
2. Minor issues still exist : No iMessage, No iCloud. we need to find the optimal smbios.plist, but impossible to find for AMD platform like GA-990FXA-UD3. Still under wokring to find the optimal smbios.

FYI, my Maverick was freezed after booting in 5 minutes. So, I replaced npci=0x2000 to npci=0x3000, then this symptom has gone. But, not sure if this option makes Maverick freezed or not at this moment (They told that npci=0x2000 was used under Lion environment only)
Oh you may wonder which type of soundcard & LAN card should be selected for this mainboard : Audio - Realteck ALC889, LAN - Realtek RTL8111E.
That's all!
P.S:
1. npci=0x3000 leads no sound, but removing this option leads [PCI Configuration Begin] hang. I'm trying to find out the other solutions, but the tentative solution is to use "Voodoo driver without DSDT". Please let me know if anybody solves this issue without using Voodoo driver.

If your Mac on PC is getting slower when booting - Need to check FakeSMC
I recommend you to delete FakeSMC plug-ins & HWMonitor by referring this:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/65279-updating-fakesmc-guide.html
which would save the time for booting dramatically at least for me.
And, please do not update HWMonitor automatically, but use as it is in Multibeast latest one.

OS : Maverick 10.9 using Unibeast
Things-to-do for Maverick Mac OSX 10.9 installation if you're new to Mac OS X:
1. Enable JMicron JMB363 SATA RAID controller at BIOS & set ACHI, then you need to connect your HDD to STA_E2 next to your Graphic Card (Not SATA1/2/3/4) because these SATA1~4 doesn't support for ACHI. Otherwise, your booting HDD stopped at stop symbol.
2. Prepare P5K unique KEXT files for P5K for Maverick here :
You can take all files from your LAN, On-baord Sound card & SATA etc.
* Do not forget to allow to download & install any files at Security / System to install these files.
3. Boot with Unibeast USB of Maverick, and continue the installation as normal. No cliches during installation.
4. 'boot0 gpt error' : When you reboot your installed HDD, do not unplug Unibeast USB yet. Please boot with Unibeast once again. and follow the direction of solution.1 :
5. Install ASUS P5K 10.9 driver files at step 2. (ASUS P5k 10.9 (13A603) - ninos22) one by one. Kext Drop utility I used for easy installation, please refer this URL for the utility:
6. Install MultiBeast 6.0.0 from tonymacx86 site. No need to install the sound driver & LAN driver.
7. Sapphire 5770 Vapor-X with Chameleon Wizard to enable HDMI video output with HD5770 recognized.
Please refer this screen : Graphic Enabler Yes, Ati Config = Vervet, ATi Ports 4
HDMI Audio is not still working - Under working

How to assign DEL key to del files on your mac - Using KeyRemap4MacBook
How to assign DEL key to del files was one of questions I wonder but ignores it as a minor issue. But, it happens to me that it would be simple thing once If I use KeyRemap4MacBook, and it is true.
You can look up 'Delete Files' at KeyRemap4MacBook, then you can find "Enable at only Finder" like this:
You can download it at this URL : https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/
Is it simple, isn't it?

Maverick 10.9 on Gigabyte B75M-D3H : Unsing Unibeast 3.0.0 & Multibeast 6.0.0 is the best & fast way on USB
You can download Maverick 10.9 at AppStore by free, but upgrading from Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is an another challenge for existing users especially if you use Chameleon bootload at MBR.
They said that the best way of migrating into Maverick is to use Clover bootload & download Maverick at AppStore, then you can install it like real Mac. But, you have to take a risk of replacement of Chameleon with Clover. But, this is the recommend due to iWork & iLife upgrade at AppStore in conclusion. (I will touch this later in this document)
You may wonder what is the best way of moving into Maverick from Mountain Lion with Chameleon bootload. The answer is to use Unibeast 3.0.0.2 + Multibeast 6.0 at Tonymacx86 site. And, here goes the detail:
1. Download Maverick from AppStore : Be patient when you are in trouble of downloading, it's due to the heavy traffic by millions of users' downloading at the same time. (it takes several hours for me to download it completely)
2. Prepare the USB larger than 8GB : The size of Maverick downloaded under Application is around 5GB. No doubt of purchasing USB 3.0 if your PC supports it.
3. Download Unibeast 3.0.0 & Multibeast 6.0.0 into your Mountain Lion
http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=3
4. Create the bootable USB by Unibeast 3.0.0 with right option when partition USB : Following URL is for Lion but same procedures. One thing you have to remember; select Master Boot Record in Option when partition USB into a single Mac OS Extended (journaled) if you install ML with MBR partition scheme. If you format that partition with GUID table on ML with MBR, Unibeast failed to create the USB with an error. Creating USB by Unibeast take time longer than you expect around under 10 min. Be patient here. (comment: you need to download Multibeast 6.0.0 in advance & store at somewhere because you may not to connect to any network without Multibeast)
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.kr/2011/10/unibeast-install-mac-os-x-lion-using.html
5. Boot your PC with the USB you created : Press F12 at POST of PC, then select your USB at the table of disk at B75M-D3H. Then, just install Maverick by selecting your language. Your PC will reboot once, then takes time to boot at Apple Logo screen & continue the installation, so be patient here again.
6. After installation completed with one rebooting, then you can run Multibeast 6.0.0, then select options on bootloader as usual. Most options here are same as ML but different look & feel. But, you may need to select Mac OS 10.9 if possible.
Completed.
Troubleshooting :
1. Avast Antivus : I suffer from strange symptom taking large resource of CPU by Avast when downloading files from utorrent app with ML, and same on Maverick. Avast seems to scan all the fragment of files downloading with utorrent, which increased the usage of CPU drastically. No such issues with Symantec Endpoint Protection, Kaspersky or Tend Micro. However, These are not compatible with Maverick GM yet: Kaspersky, ClamXV & Symantec (27-Oct,2013), but Trend Micro supports Maverick.
2. Downloading iWork, iLife & Aperture with upgrading at AppStore : It was not allowed with Chameleon bootloader though I installed the latest. Googling told me I have to install Clover bootloader instead of Chameleon bootloader. I think it's true because all the recommended actions on internet like changing the language into English at top priority or logging into AppStore with American ID don't work. The most easy & fast way without taking risk of Clover for Chameleon users are installing Maverick on VMWare Fusion to update these softwares. (Apple seems to correct the errors of AppStore as of 3-Nov, you may not use this tweak to download these apps from AppStore anymore, this topic is closed but remains as a history)
