christos312 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) 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 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 Edited September 15, 2012 by christos312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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] Looks like history is repeating itself Any tips on that?

iFIRE Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 yes, use this boot flag: -x -v -f npci=0x3000 GraphicsEnabler=No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christos312 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christos312 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 boot from USB and when you have interface gui chameleon set for boot your hard disk, and use the boot flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christos312 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Sorry if I sound stupic but there is GUI in chameleon? This is what I see 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 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 - http://rghost.ru/36725147 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christos312 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
