princetofu Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have a retail SL cd that is 10.6 Downloaded 10.6.8 combo update Everything works under 10.6, soon as i reboot SL Wont load, it just reboots after the chimeria screen. Ive installed the SL kernal fo 10.6.8 but osx tools wouldnt let me repair the permissions. When i try to boot with the cd i used for 10.6 it says Postbootmounter: no ram disk specified exiting I dont have an 8 gig usb drive so i was planning on installing ML from inside 10.6.8 Ivy bridge i7 3770 mobo - b75 pro3-m 16 gb ddr3 Network + sound kexts working Also, why does it show i only have 2 gig of ram in osx?.. Ive been googling myself tomdeath for 4 days str8 now, any guidance would be much appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281841-trouble-updating-to-ml/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Install the latest chameleon to your hard drive and use that to boot the installer. Ivy bridge only has support from 10.7.5 onwards. prior to this you will need the legacy kernel. Don't use crappy-beast or any of the other {censored} tonymac has to offer. You don't need lion to install ML. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281841-trouble-updating-to-ml/#findComment-1844254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Use a HDD partition, either way, as long as you can see it from chameleon you'll be fine. DVD wont work as chameleon wont boot dvd/cd unless using cdboot (only on boot disks as far as I know). 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281841-trouble-updating-to-ml/#findComment-1844327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Inject a different System Identifier. Use MacPro4,1 or MacPro5,1, use Chameleon Wizard to generate a new Serial Number, it must be recognised as genuine and must match your system identifier for iCloud, App Store and Face Time.
