Your problem is support for your video card. At this point in the boot process the next step is for the Mac desktop to appear. If there are no or incorrect drivers for your video card the screen will go black (or possibly distorted) and, if black, eventually go into standby mode. The immediate solution is to obtain a supported video card to use until the machine is working and you can then explore ways to get your desired card to work. Several Nvidia and ATI cards will work out of the box. I know the GT9500 works and the ATI5770 works.

If you can obtain one of those cards to test with you should be working. Otherwise do some exploring to see if someone has your card working.

lets see if 7300gs works .. or i can explore mac drive in windows with macdrive maybe i can edit something to get this thing to work..

Mac OS X Lion : Can you test with another graphic card ? I'm testing on Gigabyte 8400 GS and the same that.

*Boot with -s flag (single user mode) type:
mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ATI*

Good Luck!!!!

use chameleon 2.1 r1897 by Ermac
Put graphicsenabler=yes in your org.chameleon.Boot.plist to stop black screen during installation

[Mac OSX Lion]

[Mac OSX Lion]

well i tried it with 7300gs and i got directly into desktop without black screen ?wired! well one thing i saw between these two cards was when i used gtx460 i saw in NVDAGF100Hal.kext loaded and registered then DSMOS has arrived then black screen but with 7300GS i didnt see this text and booted into os and i also used graphics enabler but not able to see full resolution

[Mac OSX Lion]

well fellows i changed the NVDAGF100Hal.kext of DP2 to DP1 basically what happened was it didnt load the kext and went directly to the desktop then i used kext utility but again didnt work then again i reinstall the kext of DP2 then again display black .. so whats happenin with my gpu?

Hi

i think 7300gs work only in 32 bits, no support for 32 bits in Mountain Lion ( for now maybe ) !

p.s : i talk about qe_ci

[Mac OSX Lion]

yups it didnt work and now i m reinstalling the DP1 with gtx460 to use os x and as far as the changes go there nothing that big to go for the DP2 maybe i will get DP3 or i will go for the final release and yeah the problem didnt solve

My Nvidia 8400 GS was the same that, can't boot on the first time installing fly by text and go sleep ! Crazy Maybe i will go back to DP1 or 10.7.3

-->Your 8400 GS works in DP1?
-->Any luck booting with safe mode?
-->is your partition GUID or MBR?

I use this guide for both DP1 + DP2 [http://thetecherra.c...art-to-finish/] but ignore PART 4 step 3 &4 since I am not using MBR.

- 8400 GS still works on DP1
- Can't boot with safe mode
- my partition is MBR, i don't wanna use GUID
- i used that guide on DP1 and it's ok, even when i ignore MBR patch and still that, black screen ! Crazy build

Thanks i came back to Lion 10.7.3 and waiting for a new build

[madcabbit]

I'm getting the same problem on my laptop. First gen Core i7 Toshiba, Geforce 330M. Verbose boot goes fine, but when the installer should come up, just a black screen. If this is affecting DP2 and not DP1, no one's found a way around this yet?

[hiphopboy]

No way =.=

[hiphopboy]

Still this problem on DP3 ! F.U.C.K Apple =.=

hi, same problem here.
graphic card : nvidia GT120 from a powermac, working ok in 10.7.3 and 10.8 DP1.
but black screen or grey screen with the "spinning ball" in place of the installer.
