n00ise Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 updates: i fixed the pci configuration error with a iosupcifamily kext but now im stuck in a stupid error, i think it's cause of the hard drive (there is windows 8 in it), should i format it before trying to install ML?

n00ise Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 i've used a different HD and now im stuck at the boot cache BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00ise Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Here's the situation: i have an hard disk with two partition, in C: there's windows, and D: is formatted if i boot now I still have the BootCacheControl error but it's not stuck, it goes until the ntfs-fs error again but this time mentions a hibernate status of Windows (WTF?). Windows is not hibernated and i ran chkdsk but I still have this error. (see attach.) https://www.dropbox....scb2il/foto.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Can't see your photo, but nothing you described as an error, normall stuff. Use boot flags -x-f -v and whatever the correct bus ratio would be, then wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00ise Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 thanks, i tried (busratio=18 I have i5 520M) but I'm stuck at BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eep357 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 yup, a graphics driver is still loading from somewhere. add -x bootflag too as I first mentioned, it should prevent some from loading. there's also some vaio tutorials and threads since they can be a pita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00ise Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 thanks for helping me guys. here's what I did so far: created the USB stick by formatting it then restoring the base system dmg, then mach__kernel text into the new usb + partitions folder + fakeSMC + NullPowerCPU + IOSPCUFamily.kext then used chameleon to install the smblist for macbook pro 6.2 (the pro with gt330m and i5) removed all graphics kext (tried also with) booted using a lot of flags combinations (f v x pcirootuid graphics enabler=no npci=0x2000/3000 busratio=18, not all at the same time ) tried with -v -x -f UseKernelCache=No GraphicsEnabler=No this is the result (same as usual) https://www.dropbox.com/s/bjifjknvq1h69qs/foto-1.JPG this is my extension folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/dlx3h3s9la4t18p/kext.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 the 5 kexts after NullCPUPowermanagement are the nvidia ones, all start with NV in the name. Those are the ones that need deleting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
