What Model ATI card are you using? Try -v at boot and possibly add PCIRootUID=1

+1 to this comment. Update your full system config to your profile too, saves a lot of questions in troubleshooting. :thumbup:

If you type a -v it will tell you where the panic is occuring. But disable all peripherals in the BIOS all but USB-2. This way you will know it is between your Disk subsystem or Graphics or Memory that could cause a problem. SATA must be set to AHCI, and I use SATA-0 for DVD and SATA-1 for HardDrive which must be 1Terabyte or less in partion space.

ATI makes a bunch of different models so the Model number may help as you may have an unsupported card for all we know. So ATI RADEON 5X?X?X?

After you update OSX and install Multibeast see if all boots well and if so then you can go back in and enable the peripherals in the BIOS. Disable till Stable is my motto.
