Remove /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePolicyControl.kext and add -f to your boot flags.

You are using 10.8 GM (kernel 12.0.0) and not 10.8.4 (kernel 12.4.0) which this topic is about. In 10.8.4 image I added a disabler for this problematic kext.

Removed and back to the "PCI Configuration Begin" message again.

Facepalm

I am going to try with this new kernel to see what happens.

Thanks!

[CosmoHack]

Yeah!

Finally working with this flags:

-x -f GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000

The last time I tried only the flag "-f".

Go to install to see what happens.

Thanks!!!

Hello back!

I thought it would be better to install 10.8.4 instead of 10.8 and then upgrade, so I downloaded the usb image from this thread.

Although I can boot the 10.8 image, I can't boot this new 10.8.4 image. I mean, the boot continues to the existing Windows installation right after POST.

Tried this using Suse Image Writer, Win32 Disk Imager and UnetBootin.

Any idea?

Thanks.

P.S: Everything is configured in the BIOS, as the 10.8 USB image boots properly.

Hello back!

Solved it.

The issue was that my BIOS had many options to boot from USB. The option I was selecting was USB-FDD, which worked with 10.8, but now I had to select USB-HDD to boot the USB and... since it is a flash drive and not an HDD, this is a weird thing.

After this, I managed to install this version (and I did it without flags) and run multishit to install drivers and stuff. I must say it runs flawlessly, great great job

However, I can't boot without using the usb loader. I have installed Chameleon 2.1 from multishit but it did nothing, any idea?

Thanks!

P.S: I am following this guide to have Multiboot with Windows 7: https://www.dropbox.com/s/djt18o0k8288yzp/Guide%20with%20Pictures.pdf

In fact, I can boot any of the two OS' from the USB Chameleon loader so I shouldn't break this.

I will do it after Apple releases sources and USB 3.0 driver gets updated.

I have a grey screen with just a loading cursor after trying to boot. I left it for 15 minutes and it did nothing. I'm a noob, can someone help me and/or tell me what to do please?

boot with -v -f GraphicsEnabler=No

if that does not push through, then -x (you may have to remove your graphics kexts as mentioned in the first page)
