Apple has released OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3 to those registered with the Mac Developer program. The new build comes as 12A178q and includes many bug fixes, though it still includes a fairly lengthy list of known issues and bugs. This is the third beta release of OS X Mountain Lion, which currently has a rough public release date of "Summer".

Developers can download OS X Mountain Lion DP3 from the App Store, though logging in through the developer center is necessary in order to receive a redemption code.

Running, but worse as DP1/DP2 - some thing major change in AppleHDA (known .XML file overwrite not possible - they are all gone) and also OpenCL / OpenGL on my 9600 GT has some major problems.

I post that in the ML post install thread for discuss / solution research.

I can't Install this preview!? :S

I did restore the Basesystem.dmg to my external hdd, and then did copy the Packages folder to System/installation/

And did copy the kernel to the HDD.

 

It boots from my hdd, then i get a mouse pointer with the grey braided pattern screen.... And nothing happens after that :S

 

I did install Lion and the DP 1 & 2 on this way, and i had never this problem.

Is something changed in this DP in the install process maybe?

How did you guys install this developer preview?

"It boots from my hdd, then i get a mouse pointer with the grey braided pattern screen.... And nothing happens after that :S"

 

Maybe FakeSMC.kext not loaded... Copy that to /system/extensions/, than boot with UseKernelCache=No flag.

Maybe use of a DSDT solution and AppleHDA & ALC8xxx restore will do the trick!

Of course "old" AppleHDA.kext solution work...

But as I say in the previous post...

Would be nice find a way to "patch" the new AppleHDA.kext

I get the same thing. It boots down through "DSMOS has arrived", the video kicks in and I have the blue/grey linen wallpaper where the language selection should be (but isn't) and a cursor. If you click the mouse, it goes to a spinning beach ball.

 

I've easily installed and booted both DP1 and DP2. But something is wrong here.

Would be nice to find a way to "uncompress" that xml.zlib files...

Edit it and recompress...

Hi Fabio

 

I don't have Mountain Lion DP3 so this is untested by me, though going by revogirl's previous work I would guess it's spot on.

With ATI, have some probs running a few benches, like new Galaxies, but old one works, but maxes out the scales. Besides benches tho, everything OK, Skyrim, Modernwarefare 2, Duke Nukem, all play fine, ci/qe, open gl, all good. works with and without GE=yes

 

Benchmark probs were due to The Unarchiver app, anything I unzip with it under lion or ML won't work, deleted and re-downloaded from app store, same result. Using built in archiver or 7zX works fine. Have always loved Unarchiver app so hope they fix it.

Have you done an clean install or installed over DP2 ?

Does OpenCL Benches work correct / Unique Heaven OpenGL Bench ?

I have an 9600 GT (installed DP3 over DP2) and have major probs with OpenCL Benches + also Unique Heaven OpenGL bench (stalls / freeze).

In which path of AppleHDA is that xml.zlib file ?

about AppleHDA and *.xml.zlib in /Contents/Resources/

 

download this script, and use the following terminal commands

zlib.pl.zip

 

for unpack

 perl zlib.pl inflate layout99.xml.zlib > layout99.xml

for pack

perl zlib.pl deflate layout99.xml > layout99.xml.zlib
