Oh yeah, forgot about that bit sorry. When I install Snow Leopard 10.6, I have to use an older version of iBoot (for some reason the latest one doesn't work on 10.6). Once it's updated to 10.6.8, then the latest iBoot will work. Run latest multibeast once it's updated.

what version may that be?? or just any older version other than the latest??

Yeah just older than the latest I think.. I'm not sure which version I used (i have a couple of unlabelled iBoot cds laying around)

Awesome! I hope this is true. I have 6950 with Lion installed but I can't do anything yet because my USB keyboard and mouse won't work.

If you have a gigabyte board with usb3 slots, keyboards don't seem to work in them . I had to move mine to the shared esata/usb2 slots closest to the top/right side.

Thanks for that. I managed to get them working by using snow leopard kexts (at least, i think i am... i've swapped them around so many times now I can't even remember which ones i'm using)

But if I run into trouble again, I'll try your method
