So, I was finally able to get into the 10.8 installer after failing miserably with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].  I was able to make it work using the Vanilla install method:

Now that the installer launches it get the message:

"There was a problem installing Mac OS X.  Try reinstalling."

 

Any comments on the obvious or not so obvious are much appreciated.

Thanks for your quick reply!

USB drive formatted in MBR

I found the Vanilla guide in the Wiki under 10.8.  Thanks for your link, much better.

I was concerned I botched the EDI and Basesystem assembly when i built the installer.

 

To reach installer I had to delete all GPU kexts and use boot flag "GraphicsEnabler=No"

hello

 

so the hd is in GUID ...

 

i think u should build a vanilla installer.. and try again .. about the graphics kext

 

boot

 

-s (single mode)

fsck -fy
mount -uw /
mkdir /kext_backup
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv GeForce* NVDA* /kext_backup
reboot

then boot again

 

-f GraphicsEnabler=No

 

good hack
