chasingcharlie Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 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.

eep357 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 no -F it's -f which is to ignore the kernel cache. For starters, boot using the following exactly as typed -x -f -v npci=0x3000 See if that can at least stop the reboot loop, any other problems can be fixed as needed. Also be sure whatever method your using, your using a newer version of Chameleon that supports booting Mountain Lion, any revision over 1800 should be fine.

chasingcharlie Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm pretty sure (I'm not at home; I'm at work) I've tried that, but I'll try it again tonight when I get home. Thanks for answering. (Sorry, cap on -f was a typing error. I can't believe I'm having all these problems when I've built several systesm before.) charlie Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285080-reboot-at-gui-tried-everything-every-switch-two-mobos/#findComment-1874134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
