Hello to everyone, and oh welcome me to this crazy world :angel_not:

 

I am trying to install for the first time Mountain Lion on my Sony Vaio Laptop, here are my specs

 

Sony Vaio CPCF11M1E

Platform: Intel® Core™ i5 processor; Chipset Intel PM55 Express Chipset

CPU: Intel Core i5-520M Processor 2.4Ghz; Instructions Supported: MMX, SSE(1, 2, 3, 3S, 4.1, 4.2), EM64T. VT-x, AES

RAM: 4Gb DDR3

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

HDD: 500GB

 

And here is my problem, at first I was getting the error PCI Configuration Begin and then restart. I managed to get pass the error by typing

 

pci=off

 

before booting, but now I get the following error

 

console 1024x768 @ 0xe1000000

 

I tried to boot with the following flags

 

"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x16" -v -x pci=off

 

But no sir no luck at all :hammer:

 

Can anyone, any soul, any :weight_lift: (champion) help me out with my problem?

 

Thank you in advance for your time :help:

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

 

 

Edit: post your Extra folder

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I am getting from one error to another.

 

I have succesfully installed the suggested kexts and repaired Permissions.... and now.... I get these error

 

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 :worried_anim:

 

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

Good new and bad news....

 

Firstly THANK YOU :wink2: 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] :help:

 

Looks like history is repeating itself :wallbash:

 

Any tips on that?

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)

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

 

This is what I see post-1078699-0-56640700-1347834096_thumb.jpg

 

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

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 cant 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)
