eep357 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Step one: Don't use any installers that start with an "i" or end in "Atkos", Step two: start here, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=280420&hl=ivy&st=0 guide is for ML which has newer kernel to support Ivy-Bridge, if installing Lion your gonna want to start with 10.7.4 and use the kernel from the 2012 MacBookPro update instead, rest of the guide should be the same Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280885-how-to-fix-starting-darwin-x86-error-on-ud5h-motherboard/#findComment-1836066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
