OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion bootable USB

[stopmoss]

Hi,

Great guide!

After the installition, I tried boot the drive, but I'm getting stuck.

Attach the picture of chameleon output.

What's the matter?

 

I am having the some problem, Installation went fine but first boot always freezes here. The thing is I am able to boot when I update from 10.7.3, but not when I do a clean install.

BTW thanks for this, you are a genius, I've been trying to get ML on my machine for a while now and so far this is the only one thats has worked.

Your problem is probably with video drivers http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1677

Thanks for reply, I have just now managed to get it working! Using my MacBook Pro, I connected the ML drive and installed the null and fake kext, then run Chameleon Wizard to sort out the other bits. I did get problems with video but I resolved that, it's a bit glitchy and I'm back to using cpus=1 but overall it's good. Thanks very much for putting this together, much appreciated.

Hi all!!

After trying and trying, I finally decided to reinstall ML formatting the HD.

Now my Disk Utility recognize my SSD, and I can perfectly use it.

After installing all the kext and making the App Store/iCloud working (that was hard), I'm now stuck with the chameleon part. I still need my USB installer to boot ML, but I will post it on the "boot0:error" topic.

Thank you all for your work!

Try this (debug=8 ahcidisk=1 to boot, then patch kext with script)

sorry but would you please tell me how to patch kext. i have never done this before.

i've searched also a lot for this but i can't get through it..

When installing kexts using the Kext Wizard, where should you install them to? The extra folder or System/Library/Extentions ?

Whats the difference between the two?

Is there anything else you need to do after clicking on install? just reboot?

If you can get in the system with the boot flags, just double click the patcher script, it will ask your admin password.

Always /S/L/E, kexts in /E/E won't be loaded if you use kernelcache (which is recommended) and kexts with dependencies won't work from Extra.

[devilindisguise]

Do i need to repair permissions, rebuild cache after installing the kexts?

[Cassio]

I guess the app does that automatically, but if you feel it doesn't, click those options, it won't hurt.

[devilindisguise]

For some reason now, the kext wizard is not able to find the target drives. it cant find the mac drive nor the usb drive to install the kexts to.

The first time i loaded it up it was able to detect the mac and the usb drive. but now it cant.

im also not able to see the mac drive in Finder. I can see all my other drives and the usb drive there.

any ideas?

[Cassio]

Try installing it via terminal

There are other tools like Kext Wizard (Kext Utility, for example).

About Finder, it's normal. Go to computer (menu Go in Finder) and drag the HD to sidebar.

can i use this version of Mountain Lion on AMD cpu (AMD Athlon II X3 445, 3,1GHz)?

i tried, and after first menu, where you can choose from whitch partition or device you wish to boot, after i choose OS X 10.8, my pc starts to load something and then just reset...

is there any solution?

thank you!

[Cassio]

No, it's only for Intel.

You need at least one free partition, use Disk Utility (in the Utilities menu) to erase it as Mac Os Extended (Journaled).

If you want to install Chameleon (the boot loader) in this partition and you use MBR (not GUID, like if you already have Windows in the HD), it must be a primary (not extended/logical) partition.

 

Hey i am new too all these hackintosh stuff... Its a pretty nice guide and as simple as it can be ... but i am having a little problem with my HDD .. as i have three drives connected i can install a complete version on 1 drive or any other partition ... but the problem i m having is .. i cant see any hd or partition in the OSX DISK Utility Menu ... Can anyone pls help ?

[Cassio]

Go into BIOS setup and configure SATA as AHCI.

[Peterag]

internal HDD is not listed for installation. I can see only the USB Drives. Storage in the BIOS is setup only in AHCI mode. I am using a dell Inspiron 1525 machine. Please help.

[Cassio]

Not listed as install target, or not listed in disk utility? You need to format the partition first.

i'm trying to boot with my hd and it showed this pic,please see photo.

[Cassio]

disk1s1 is the OS X partition? If it's not, it may be a video issue http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1677

Hello, I have the following computer:

ASUS P8H67-M LE(B3), H67, Socket 1155, DDR3, mATX

Intel Core i3-2120, 3.30ГГц, 3МБ, LGA1155, BOX

DDR3, 8ГБ (2x4ГБ), PC3-10600, 1333

Unfortunately, I run in to a similar problem every time I try to boot:

 

using 64-bit bootcache playlist
BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory
USBF: 8.721 AppleUSBEHCI[0xffffff801177b000]::Found  transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0x1d, timing out! (Addr: 7, EP: 0)
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out

 

I haven't tried deleting any kex's yet. Which ones should I try?

[danmar]

If you just type this without the -x or -f it works.

So that's just:

GraphicsEnabler=No

My problem i solved.
