using 64-bit bootcache playlist
BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory
Waiting for DSMOS...

  I feel so close on booting ML yet so far

I found that the error Waiting for DSMOS has to do with the FakeSMC kext, what is the latest version of this kext and from where I can find it?

I posted my Extra Folder as well

Well let me share my progress at least....

I decided to use iHack to create my bootable USB from the beggining. Everything when perfect....

I got an error about [PCI Configuration Begin] and solved it my installing these kexts http://netkas.org/?p=1053

Fix permissions and rebboted...

This is the first time I got pass DSMOS..... and i think I am one step before booting in to ML....

My last error is

[IOBlueToothHCIController][Start] -- completed

but then  boom, black screen nothing happens....

Any solutions or extra kext i have to install????

[iFIRE]

backup the graphics kext with this comand terminal: boot with -s

mount /

mkdir kext_backup

cd /System/Library/Extensions

mv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelSNB* ATI* GeForce* NVDA* /kext_backup

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*

shutdown -R now

[christos312]

Good new and bad news....

Firstly  THANK YOU iFIRE for everything and your help so far

Good News: I did boot in Mountain Lion and installed it on my HDD....

Bad News: When I try to boot from my HDD (Not USB) I get the error [PCI COnfiguration Begin]

Looks like history is repeating itself

Any tips on that?

[iFIRE]

yes, use this boot flag: -x -v -f npci=0x3000 GraphicsEnabler=No

[christos312]

Nop it doesn't work

Why I can boot from my USB but not from Hard disk???

Do I have to transfer any kexts to the Hard Disk?

[iFIRE]

copy the folder Extra from your USBINSTALLER for root of your disk and use this boot flag, and copy all kexts from Extra/Extensions of USB for S/L/E  hard disk

[christos312]

Yes I tried to do that...

I boot with my USB Open Disk Utilities

But I cannot copy-paste between my USB and HDD.... I can see all the files but when I right click I can only select "Quick lookup" (or something)

[iFIRE]

boot from USB and when you have interface gui chameleon set for boot your hard disk, and use the boot flag

[christos312]

Sorry if I sound stupic but there is GUI in chameleon?

If i choose Mac (HDD) and type the flags I get the error

If I choose myHack OS X Install Disk I boot into ML installation

[iFIRE]

yes, hd (0,1 ) Mac this is your disk, select it an put the boot flag and enter


-f -v -x GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000

and if not work install the kexts from netkas in your Extra/USB installer


http://netkas.org/?p=1053

These of you who are stuck at [PCI Configuration begin/end] and npci=0×3000 doesnt help, you had to use 10.6.7 IOPCIFamily and AppleACPIPlatform
and can’t try Mountain [s]Dew[/s] Lion. Well, no more.
NETKAS
ported IOPCIFamily-115 kext to work with new AppleACPIPlatform.
So, you can use it and no need to replace AppleACPIPlatform with old one, a bit better then having to replace both.
Here is a link to a kext and sources -

Also, here is version for Mountain Lion, which allowed my lappy to boot 10.8 -
http://rghost.ru/36725213
(both versions include fixes for ethernet and wifi on laptops lacking iomap addresses)

[christos312]

I tried, I get the same error

[PCI Configuration begin]

I have the kext in the USB installer and i can boot from USB

but i cannot boot from my Hard Disk.
