Hello,

I'm trying to setup a new system. I was able to install Mountain Lion but now I can't boot into the system without using the safe mode ("-x" in chameleon).

This is the Hardware:
Intel Core-i7 3770
Gigabyte Z77X-UD4H
16 GB RAM (two slots)
1 SSD (Sandisk 840pro 256GB)
1 WD 3 TB HDD

Graphics, Network etc. works in safe mode but sound isn't. I installed the ALC892 which is why I chosed this board: the UD3 has a via audio chipset and I'm happy with my i7-950 system with an Realtek on a Gigabyte board so I choose this. I'm not shure if the problem is sound related but I get the output you see in the attachment and then nothing else happens.

Maybe someone has an idea why boot stucks here?

[EDIT:] Sorry, just hit enter when I was in the title bar, so this post changed a lot since I hadn't written a usable error description before accidentially hitting enter.

Check in UEFI/BIOS, make sure VT-d is disabled.

This was on to have it if using a VM sometime but with VT-d disabled it works. And currently there is no plan to use VMs soon so this will do the trick for me. Thank you.

You don't need VT-d to run VM's, VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop run perfectly fine with it disabled. However, you can re-enable it using a kext from 10.8.1. See pic below.

Does this solve your problem also? I'd mark the topic solved then.

I don't think VT-d is his problem, because his CPU does not support VT-d. All "K" versions of Intel CPU's have VT-d disabled. He should try using the same kext from 10.8.1.

I know it isn't necessary but it can help to speed up virtual hardware in some cases. Managing some Linux systems with server virtualisation I got some experience over the years ...

But as I said for now it isn't important for me so I'll stick with VT-d disabled for now.

Ok, I didn't knew that the K series had no VT-d. Strange, normally they would cut features on the lower end of the processor series not on the top.
