I've replicated this - I can't boot from Unibeast either w/o selecting legacy USB. It doesn't activate the USB devices otherwise and then can't mount the root device off of the stick. I also noticed that if you don't create exactly 1 partition, it won't mount either (say it's a 32 GB stick...

My 660M is for a 3D display. Wonder if it's for left eye/right eye rendering at 1920x1080.

I wouldn't even try Lion. I spent a couple weeks trying and gave up. For me, once the USB 3.0 driver loaded, you could no longer continue booting from the USB stick. If I recall, the G55 and G75 are all USB 3.0 ports now, so you don't have the option of just plugging it into a USB 2.0 port...

Cool, thanks. I'll let you know if I get anywhere.

When my install completed, I found that I had only the directories for the NV* kexts and resource binary, but not the rest of the files (Info.plist and a few others). Was very strange. I ended up extracting them from the installer mpkg. So while I had the files, they weren't loading due to no...

I don't do much that requires graphics. So I'm actually more at home with it in its semi-functional state than I was with Windows. It was a huge step for me to swing back from a non-Macbook device and I'm having some pains. :) Does your keyboard squeak? Mine does like mad. I need to get...

Same here - 12GB installed physically. Chameleon reports: 3554 MB Memory VESA 3.0 14MB (NVIDIA) Were you able to get other hardware working? I can't seem to get Chameleon to boot off of anything other than the USB, so I'm having to leave that in and bootstrap over to my hard drive...

It's not working. You have to knock out the driver to boot and it reports 0 GB of memory in system profiler.

I'm 99% sure it is your video. The next step after that (or very close) is starting the GUI, so if it's not kicking off, your video probably isn't going to get detected properly. You can try taking out the video drivers causing the problem. You'll boot into a 1024x768 crap graphics mode...

silverkid, Sorry, I missed your reply before I posted mine. Looks like we ran into the same thing. If you only get rid of that resman kext, does the driver at least load and give full resolution or are you still stuck with basic VESA graphics?

Just because it's the last thing to report output to the screen doesn't mean it's where it's hanging. In this case, it thinks it's initialized the GUI and it hasn't (properly). It's up and running, just waiting for you to go through the install, you just can't see it. The spinner is all...

Hit tab to get it out of high res mode (it's easier to work with). Boot with -s mount the USB disk read-write cd /System/Library mkdir Extensions.disabled mv Extensions/NV* Extensions.disabled sync reboot .... should be able to install and get ML going at min res. It's flakey...
