johnlocke2342 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi. I got ML DP4 up and running on my hackintosh. It runs really fine and doesn't feel like a beta. I have one little problem though. If I'm booting from the hard drive, the boot process hangs, but works just fine if I boot from my USB install drive. I tried the latest Chameleon, the one installed by MyHack (which is the same as the one installed on my USB drive), Chimera... Nothing works. If anyone can help, my setup is in my signature. Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280038-stuck-at-apple-logo-if-booting-from-hd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozepops Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hello. I had the same problem and fixed it by: 1 install chameleon and choose a theme so that an Extra folder will be created. 2 copied the smbios.plist from a working Lion installation into the Extra folder. 3 placed FakeSMC.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, JMicron36xATA.kext, JMicronATA.kext, and ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext in the System/Library/Extensions folder. 4 rebooted with -f. Hope this helps. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280038-stuck-at-apple-logo-if-booting-from-hd/#findComment-1829248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlocke2342 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi and thanks for the answer. I already did steps 1-3, tried booting with -f (following your advice), it didn't solve my problem.

eep357 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ummm, why aren't you booting verbose by using using -v to see why it's hanging up? Should always use verbose boot until you have 100% stable release after numerous shut downs and restarts.

snoozepops Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi Johnlocke2342. Try this chameleon :h**p://www.osx86.net/view/2848-chameleon_r2000_-_mountain_lion_%5Bupdated_...html.It is working fine for me. Use the one at the top of the list (the newest one). Let me know if you are successful. Also be sure you have the correct kexts for your hard disk installed.

All Kand Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Look into the org.chameleon.Boot.plist on the USB drive, see what options you might want to include on the org.chameleon.Boot.plist in your hard drive.

johnlocke2342 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi, all. I tried many stuff, and numerous builds of Chameleon, didn't work. Yesterday, I updated to the GM of ML, now everything works fine. Thanks everyone!
