XPCHelper crashes, and I see launchd is looping on two things: com.apple.system.notification_center, as well as the kextcache daemon which fails (not sure it it matters?)

How about single user (-s) now...

You could type the fix commands in there...

Just a thought...

Here it is (all credits to jeaton):

 

1) Wait for xpchelper to crash

2) Open terminal and type these in:

"sudo su"

"cd /private/var/folders"

"find /private/var/folders/ -type f | grep -i com.apple.xpchelper.cache"

3) cd to the first one that shows up on the list (it will be in a separate folder from the other xpchelper caches)

"rm -r com.apple.xpchelper.cache"

"pico com.apple.xpchelper.cache" ---> hit ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit

"chflags uchg com.apple.xpchelper.cache"

4) Reboot and you're done!

 

Obviously this could be made from Single User mode, but it's important to wait for XPCHelper to crash.

Launch XPCHelper after mount -uw /

Should do the trick

@Sinetek: Great job.

Soon we'll get it to go GUI

I am very happy to see that there is even more progress being made. This page and the ML page are my daily "crack". I have faith that history will be made very soon. Please keep up all the hard work!

I am in the process of setting up my partitions to try to help out. I gave up on my poor old sdcard, think it or the reader is wore out.

UPDATE on what's happening

 

Mountain Lion is booting up on this Phenom II X4 965. The GUI launches and it gets to a gray screen. The mouse is moveable.

Then there is disc activity, and the computer shuts down completely.

 

The opcode emulator seems to be working, but bugs are not out of the question yet.

Mountain Lion AMD Kernel test 1

I'm particularly interested in hearing about Bulldozer.

It runs on Phenoms also.

 

 

The TSC is hardcoded to 18. This will be fixed later.

 

CPUID/SSSE3 binaries on disc,

CONGRATZ & THANKS !!!

 

 

Your kernel is 90% compatible with the osx ML-10.8.0 on my AMD P-II x4 965 :thumbsup_anim:
