acpi_smc_platformplugin issue on install

Hey All,

New to the Hackintosh process and decided to try it out by installing Mountain Lion on my old Dell XPS m1210 using the Unibeast USB Key Method. I created the Key from a VMWare version of Mountain Lion running in windows. My Laptop specs are below:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0GHz/4MB L2 Cache/667MHz FSB)
  • 3GB (1GB and 2GB) DDR2-667 Memory
  • 80GB 5400rpm SATA HDD
  • Intel 945 GM Graphics card
  • SigmaTel HD Audio Codec
  • Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/b/g Mini Card (Expect I will need to change after the install)
  • Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR Module


I am having an issue getting unibeast to the first stage of the install. When I select the USB stick from the bootloader screen the grey apple screen appears and after about 3-4 mins I reach the dark grey deathly "you need to restart your computer" screen. I have tried a variety of flags including -x, -f, -v, PCIRootUID=0, GraphicsEnabler=No

No such luck with any of these. when I run the verbose it seems to halt at "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized"

Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Any luck with this?

I'd like to load Mountain Lion on a Dell XPS m1210, but haven't seen any successful guides.
