humbledyouth Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hi friends. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I've know enough to figure out how to build a decent hacintosh years ago and have been running 10.6 for quite some time. I decided it was time to update to 10.8 but have been very stuck for a week. I'm following digital_dreamer's guide here:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185097-guide-scripted-retail-lionmountain-lion-install-on-gigabyte-mobos/ Here's my system: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 Intel core i7 920 2.66G 3x 2gb Corsaid TR3X6G1600C8 nvidia geForce 9600 GT 512mb After running the script and creating a boot drive, I cannot get the drive to boot. After selecting Mac OS X Base System in chameleon and a minute or two of script running by, the screen shuts off. The final lines of code are as follows: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory NVDANV58HAL loaded and registered. Previous Shutdown Cause: 3 ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin: : start - waitForService (resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out [AGPM Controller} unknownPlatform AppleTyMCEDriver : :start coreVIDPID = 8x2c418086 Number of packages = 1 Number of cpus + 8 memory monitor trough MCA Can anyone help me understand what is going wrong? Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Try boot with flag -v PCIRootUID=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Did you remember to include a FakeSMC to the stick? DSMOS appears not to be arriving... P.S.: Post a pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humbledyouth Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks for the replies! @carbo178 - I'll give that a try! I'm working today and will be back at the install tonight. @theconnactic - I've tried with and without FakeSMC. What would be most helpful to see in a photo?

carbo178 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 FakeSMC and NullCPUPM must be in pendrive The photo is used to see the error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humbledyouth Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 No changes :-( Here's a photo. The last few lines are only up for split second, then the screen goes blank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 DSMOS has arrived, this is a simple graphics issue. Try to boot with GraphicsEnabler=No. Next time, the first thing you do when asking help is post a pic, thus helping us to refine diagnostics and solution. If it doesn't work again, post another pic. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
