I'm using the Kext Wizard to patch the display settings for a Diamond 5450 and this is the message I get:

This is the message I get when I boot with the -v flag: "DisplayMachine not patched because parent not patchable"

I haven't really found an answer at any place I've looked on the Web. Of course, the kext are then not loaded so the video is very limited. .

How can I get these Kext to install or do you think that something is wrong with the files themselves?

thanks

This is a Hackintosh that I've upgraded from Leopard to Mountain Lion. I have attached a picture. I have another Hackinintosh I can use to repair kext -- if someone can give me an idea to do:

Ga-Z77-DS3H
Radeon 5450 512
i3 2120 LGA1155

Could someone please point me to a VERY basic "how to" on editing kext? Is there an application to do this? I mean very basic; I've had a Snow Leopard PC running for a long time and it's only recently in trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion that I've had problems. (My old system won't upgrade.)
Since it's been a while since I've done anything but update my software -- everything was great -- that I realize I'm very rusty -- if I ever was sharp.
I have been very blessed to have Azimutz help me in the past but he's busy and I do need to stand on my own.
So anyone who can help me with this (getting an Radeon 5450 512 running), I would greatly appreciate it. I know I'll have to be able to edit kext sooner or later.
thanks

I am desperate. I’ve tried two motherboards and two processors. I can never get to the graphical install interface on ML. I have gotten to the point of “waiting on root device” but I’m not able to get there now. Whatever I try: multiboot, kakewalk or myhack, each reboots when it gets to that point of loading the graphical interface. Even though I use the –F switch, it does the same thing and I can never see the error. It doesn’t “halt” where I can read the messages.
First motherboard & chip: z68ap-d3 (2.0), G630 Sandy Bridge 2.7 GHz, asus 210 Ge Force 512 MG (video). Second motherboard: B75M-D3P, i3 2120 3.3 GHz (video on board). Same results.
I have used about every switch I can find online (DSDT=no, GraphicsEnabler=no; -v, -x cpus=1 busratio=18; -v npci=0x2000 cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No; debug=8 ahcidisk=1; HPET, 64 bit, ACHI). I even flashed the z68ap motherboard. I have a working rig, using Snow Leopard that is “incompatible with ML.” I built that rig from scratch and had no problems. I have changed stuff in the BIOS trying to install ML until I’m almost blind. I have re-set to default settings and tried again.
I am willing to try anything that anyone suggests. I also have a MacBook Pro I can use to make stuff.  Someone p l e a s e give me something different to try or do. I can do things in terminal in single user mode if someone will give me step-by-step directions.
Please help.
