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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287656-issues-with-usb-boot-for-108-install-on-ga-ex58-ud5/ 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!

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?

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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287656-issues-with-usb-boot-for-108-install-on-ga-ex58-ud5/#findComment-1904504 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287656-issues-with-usb-boot-for-108-install-on-ga-ex58-ud5/#findComment-1904515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
