Thanks for the detailed guide. I am a newbie and am following the instructions but getting stuck on grey screen after selecting English as the language of install. -v flag gave the attached log (CPU Halted). System shuts down after displaying the attached for a flash of second. Have tried multiple flags and SMBios (MB Pro and MB) but did not help.

I am on Sony Vaio SR220J - T5800 2GHz, 2GB RAM 64bit. Display adapter = Mobile Intel 45 Express Chipset Family

Please let me know if any more information about my system is required. Any pointers are highly appreciated. TIA.

Verify you've got fakesmc.kext in /system/library/extensions on your install USB. If you have use the link provided in the guide to download and install the latest version (if not it should be there anyway so still do this).

If that doesn't work try booting with -v -x -f npci=0x3000.

Report back if it sill doesn't work there's  a few bits we can try...

[SpardoW]

Hi rockinron_1. At first, thank you for your help.

Well, i've tried typing what you have recommened me and changing the fakesmc ketx, but it doesn't work.

All I can see after boot is my screen all black.

What can I do? Maybe i3 cores are unsuported? I've read someone has a succesfull hack with my laptop, but I'm losing hope...

Thanks again, and if you can help me anyway, I'll be so gratefull.

[rockinron_1]

If you have access to a hdmi monitor can you plug in a hdmi lead to your laptops port and see if it works? (almost certain this is your problem & we can fix it easily)

i3's are definitely supported. If the above doesn't work can you type -v when you select to boot your installer, take a photo of where it stopps & post it here.

[SpardoW]

Thanks for your help rockinron_1! I'll try with a monitor connected by HDMI and I'll take a photo, but I can't now, I'm very busy studying.
I don't want you think I'm ignoring your advise! Thank you very much! I'll try as soon as posible!

[SpardoW]

Hi rockinron_1! I've tried with a monitor connected by VGA, This is the same like try it with the HDMI connection? Or it's important that the connection be HDMI?
I've tried with iAtkos ML2 method, I've been able to finish the instalation, I have reboot, and when I've boot from the ML HDD, this is what I can see.

Unless I've missed something its just not picking up on the graphics, try the following:
Use the extra folder I have attached.
Copy the kexts I have attached to /system/library/extensions on your usb stick.
Boot with -v -f  post output here it if doesn't boot.
Apologies for the slow reply.

If this guide isn't step-by-step enough for you then I would suggest you don't attempt it.

Ok, researched everything, passed the tests...now i'm stuck early..

I'm following this and installed ML on virtualbox on a windows 7 dell xps 702x, prep the usb and now i can't figure out how to get the ML image in virtualbox as when i try to copy it on a 8gb flash drive says the file it's too large.
Was trying another method earlier and burn it with TransMac and had the same problem, the file shows as double size when trying to copy it somewhere and can't figure out how to share the win folder within virtualbox, any idea?
Thanks

And forgot that with a iatkos l2 i was able to do all that but just unable to create the bootable drive correctly due to the guide being less detailed, is there some other method to follow you recommend? like burning a dvd?

Why is copying over stuff from BaseSystem.dmg necessary? On a real Mac all that's needed is InstallESD.dmg.

[tiberius72]

Hi I am kinda new to the scene. Thanks for the guide. I followed it to a tee

But when I boot to my "OS X" (ML) drive from the USB drive I get the grey apple screen and after a few I get a circle with a line through it (kinda like a no entry). I don't see my drive light going on either.

I tried -x options for single mode, but still no luck.

Any Thoughts ?

FYI - I tried to boot directly to the ML drive but it just sits there it doesn't even start loading anything.

The drive is a new Intel SSD 180 GB.
MB -GA-P35C-DS3R Rev1.1
CPU E6600
4GB Memory (another 4 is waiting in the wings)UIpdat

Update - I tried verbose mode and I the message Still waiting for root device. Looks like something wrong with the drive. Perhaps I need to start again ?

Because a hackintosh isn't a real mac? It's a different process. Also chameleon won't mount .dmg's so we have to do it ourself.
Basesystem.dmg is the recovery environment we use to install OS X, InstallESD contains the packages required to do so.

Try booting with: npci=0x2000 -v -x -f
If it still gives "still waiting for..." check your HDD isn't plugged into 6GB/s SATA. If you have different coloured SATA ports, try it in the different colours.

Failing that post a screenshot here if it still hangs.

P.S. -x is safe mode, -s is single user mode

I have this error at boot with usb  when installing mountain lion with amd kernel:

USBF: 1.378 AppleUSBEHCI checksleepcapability controller will be unloaded across sleep.

thankyou

[djm20]

i followed this guide step by step but i get an error while its loading the installer. when i ran it regularly, i get a stop/prohibited sign right above the apple logo. Then i ran it with -v and i got the "still waiting for root device" error. I only have 2 usb 3.0 inputs.

my machine is a dell xps 14
intel core i5 3317U @1.7 GHz
intel hd 4000
4 gb ram
500 Gb hdd
32 gb ssd

its really similar to an apple macbook air.
im using a retail mac os x mountain lion 10.8.2
and i used the patcher to allow me to dual boot os x and windows, and possibly triple boot with linux in the future

I got everything working up to the last step of 4 (adding back the ATI6000Controller.kext to extensionsfolder), when I rebooted I got the infamous white screen.. Now I can't seem to boot at all, not even with -x or GraphicsEnabler=No (had GE=No during the installation). I've got 2 HD6950 in crossfire with HD6970 bios, and when I checked the systemspecification when it was working it recognized two graphicscards (no info though, only that they were ATI's). I've seen this thread, how can I remove the ATI6000Controller and add the kexts from that thread? (http://www.insanelym...page__hl__ 6950)
Also, Im dualbooting with windows 8.

Thanks..
