Hi there,

I clean-installed ML with unibeast stick-method on a SSD in my hackintosh.
I already had Lion on another SSD in my hackintosh.

Installation ML went well.
So i rebooted from the Unibeast usb stick.
That went well.
Then i installed some stuff from Multibeast 5.02 (see the attachement).
(Strange thing: i can't find the rollback extension in MB 5.02 so i only installed realtek 889)
Then i installed Chimera latest version (standalone).
Then i applied fix permissions in diskutiliy (couldn't find "fix permissions" in MB 5.02)

Then i rebooted, this time from the ML system SSD.
The only thing i see then is a static gray apple screen and nothing happens ; it's stuck.
So i rebooted in verbose mode from my ML system SSD and i can't see nothing weird really in the verbose log, i think the last line says something about
cpu powermanagent ready.

So then i wanted to rebooted again, this time from the unibeast usb stick.
Well, no-go, also comes up with only the gray static screen.

Can anyone pleas whelp me ?

Thx in advance !

Vanhaze.

Boot the USB drive or your ML drive or both in verbose mode and post a picture.

What is the brand name of your SSD? There have been some problems with SSD's.
 
Hi,

I will post the verbose mode pictures.
Meanwhile, i have ML installed on a Coirsair® Force 240GB S-ATA3 SSD...
 
Sorry, seems that i had missed the last line in my verbose log, during boot from the ML SSD.
It says:

"PCI configuration begin"

OK, then try booting with the following boot flags:

-v npci=0x2000
or
-v npci=0x3000
 
Thank you for helping me !

So first i did:

Booting with:
npci=0x2000
result: passed the gray screen but immediate kernel panic.

So then i booted with:
-v npci=0x2000

I can read this from the log:

kernel extensions in backtrace

com.apple.driver apple TyMCEDriver
dependency com.apple.iokit,ioacpifamily
dependency com.apple.iokit.iopcifamlily
dependency com.apple.driver.ioplatformpluginfamily


Hope this info helps abit into looking into my boot problem.

Thx in advance !
 
Boot -s

This will boot you in a text environment and you will need to type some commands.

When you see the prompt "root:"

Code:
Type:  mount -uw /
Type:  cd /System/Library/Extensions
Type:  mv AppleTyMCEDriver.kext AppleTyMCEDriver.kext.bak
Type:  cd ../
Type:  touch Extensions

Boot your computer with -v npci=0x2000
 
Hi,

When i boot with -s, (in chimera), the root prompt doesn't show up after the text "pci configuration begin"

Did i misunderstood you ?

No, we should probably try: -s npci=0x2000
 
Wow, you are a genious !!

Indeed, i did:

Boot with:
-s npci=0x2000

Then:

mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv AppleTyMCEDriver.kext AppleTyMCEDriver.kext.bak
cd ../
touch Extensions
exit

Then my hackintosh rebooted into ML without a problem !
Then i rebooted again, with no flags, and it did again boot succesfully into ML !!

I dunno really what all those unix commands mean and what they exactly did but you made my day !

Thank you so much for your good help,
(btw: if you don't mind, i am interested if this is a common problem with Mountain Lion on HT and what those unix commands exactly did)


Robbie.
