I found this thread but the guy gives no instructions as to what he did to achieve a successful installation.

Thanks

Thanks a lot. I'm honestly struggling with some really basic things here. Could you please tell me the boot flags you used to get to the OSX installer?

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx). For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

I've done this and have had a white screen with the loading symbol and a movable mouse for the past fifteen minutes.

After installing this open > Chameleon Wizard > SMBios and edit your smbios.plist with MacBook Air 5,2
The default Chameleon wizard will save the file in documents , go there copy intro /yourHardDrive/Extra
