Troubles installing 10.8.2

Currently I am running Windows 7 on my main drive and was going to install Mountain Lion on a seperate drive to dual boot. I setup the partition on the second drive in windows and formatted it to fat32 so in Disk Utility I can reformat it to Journaled when in OSX installation. The problem is I have not been able to get to the installation. I boot into my usb and everytime it blinks black and restarts after reading through kexts. I have tried every terminal input I can find on here (-v, -f, -s , -x, npci=0x2000, graphicsenabler=no -f, pcirootuid=0 etc) I finally found the command that will let it wait before restarting and I got some pictures, I warn you they are awful as I am using a 20$ at&T go phone at the moment.

 

 

Specs:

 

Intel Xeon E3110 (Overclocked at 3.6 at the moment)

DFI Inc. LP DK P35 (Socket 775) Motherboard

ATI Radeon HD 4800 GFX Card

 

 

The first one which I imagine has the error files in question look to be cutoff, I am going to try and get a better picture or at least write them own and post again where they are cutoff. Any help would be great. Thanks guys!

 

Cutoffs from the first image reads:

I attempted the install via un1beast (1 is an i of course. if this is a banned subject please pm me and I will happily remove it) as well. Got my stick prepared and went at it. Same situation happened, although this time the only way I could even see the kexts loading was through the "-s" command.

 

I think I might have a hardware issue although it seems my hardware checks out on the compatible lists.

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]? A program that will extract your Install Mountain Lion and put it on your usb for you, as well as install chameleon bootloader.. I thought it might work after my first attempt did not.

I am inclined to agree with you, I have read about people getting it working on all parts of my setup (not as one system of course) So I am thinking it should work fairly well. I guess getting it installed will be the tricky part.

 

Is the loading of kexts then restart a common issue? I put osx on a my dell mini 9 back in the day and I don't remember it being this difficult.

It is a common issue indeed, with unsupported CPUs. That should not be the case here. Did you get any success?

 

You can try the following: try to use Carbon Copy Cloner, a free app, to make a copy of your dell mini successful hackintosh in the HD that you intend to use as the main HD with the Xeon PC. Don't forget also to install the latest chamelon on it. Should boot just fine.

 

Good luck.
