Greetings,

I have the following configuration:

Gigabyte Motherboard model H77 DS3H;
i7 3770;
MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 TI;
WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM;
SSD OCZ Agility 3;
LG DVD ROM;

Ok so I made the UniBeast USB Stick. I've tried booting with PCIRootUid=0, still all I get is the apple logo and the mouse cursor showing the loading sign. I've read this happens with some ATI video Cards, but my chipset is gtx 560 TI so I really don't understand why is this happening because I thought the GTX 560 TI had native support in ML. I've decided to build this computer for Logic Pro and my occasional gaming and this situation is bugging the hell out of me. So any suggestions? What methods should I try to get the installer working ....
 
So I've entered into the installer but only with -x PCIRootUID=0 and it installs but this doesn't get me anywhere cuz I can't load OS X after safe mode installation so any other ideas to get this thing working the fact is that I saw many similar builds and I really don't understand what did I do wrong. Please help me, I know I'm new in this area, but I need help
 
go to extra folder and ad this in your boot.plist;)

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x3000 darkwake=0</string>

Thanks for reply the problem is after installation os x won't boot not even in safe mode I will try the installation using PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000 darkwake=0 but not in safe mode maybe this way it will work
 
Nope, it does not load the OS X installer...
 
Okay so I did another Unibeast USB and this time I can enter the installation of OS X, but the HDD and SSD do not appear so I have nowhere to install OS X. How can I bypass the error?
 
I've managed to fix everything and now I installed Mountain Lion.
 
What did you do to get it work I'm encountering a similar issue
 
Okay so the solution is the following although I am not quite sure it's a moral one since the official release of mountain lion you buy these days are 10.8.2, you need to find the 10.8 version and rewrite the installer using UniBeast. After that you will boot just with PCIRootUid=0 and it installs just nicely.
