I have ga p55m ud2 f11 and got the same issue. I worked around it by installing IOUSBrollback kext from multibeast to the USB stick. Then it worked, however with KP for me...

Hi illWill,

I manage to install mountain lion. On USB boot drive I put my DSDT in Extra folder then run Kext Wizard (Maintenance - Extra & System/Library/Extension) for repair permission and rebuilt cache . Now for multibeast time . Hope everything ok . Will update soon .

Same problem here-- My Mobo is GA-P55-USB3 (rev 2) F9. As posted below AFTER I built the Unibeast thumbdrive I use Multibeast to put the USB rollback kext on to the Unibeast thumbdrive and then I can use my mouse and keyboard. The issue for me is that my installation gets to around 90% ( 3 Minutes left) and errors out.... EVERYTIME. I'm really not sure what I can do from there.

Did you load the Legacy USB rollback from the Unibeast installer AND put the IOUSBrollback kext from Multibeast on the thumbdrive?

On my GA-P55A-UD3 I used my regular bootloader, so I didn't boot USB.. than instead of selecting my HDD I choose the USB key. It installed fine and works great. I didn't have to reinstall anything but the audio after that. Only issue I have is the USB bluetooth disconnects every reboot and I have to press the buttons on the magic mouse and apple keyboard every time it reboots.

Bones,

Interesting... I'll give that a shot.

Didn't work for me ... the error scrolled by really fast and but it says something about a "bad magic number"

Ok, so I was using an OLD bootloader which is probably why I got the "magic number" error when I tried to do what you said. So I updated my bootloader to the newest in MB and then gave it another shot.

AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW-- I have USB support. Thanks for the tip! I'm installing ML right now and hoping that it won't fail with 3 minutes left again. I'll update in 15 minutes.

Successfully installed...But Im not able to use that old bootloader to bootup my ML install... So I tried using the USB and I get the white screen with the spinning icon and NO USB support

Update .... When using any other bootloader (rboot, iboot, bootloader from MB 4.6.1) other than what is on the Unibeast thumbdrive to try and load my ML install I get the following error "Mach-0 file has bad magic number"

Hey All,

Here update for GA-P55A-UD3P .. I complete install ML . Below is my step how to install :-

- Create ML USB Boot (Unibeast ML) from my macbook.
- I use Sapphire ATI 6870 , so after done create usb boot I type ( default write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1 ) on terminal >> enter >> open up activity monitor to force quit (finder will be auto reload)
- On ML USB Boot , goto S/L/E then copy ATI6000Controller.kext to desktop and delete on S/L/E .
- I copy my DSDT (DSDT-GA-P55A-UD3P-F14.aml by Macman) then put it to Extra folder on ML USB Boot.
- Run Kext Wizard ( Maintenance >> tick all Extra & S/L/E )
- Boot with ( -v GraphicsEnabler=no )
- Mouse/Keyboard working on choose language
- Open disk utility and erase my hdd
- Continue installing without any failed ( say good bye to fail with 3 minutes left again )
- Done install ML
- Restart ML and on boot type ( -v GraphicsEnabler=no )
- Setup name,password and etc
- Done ( ML completed install )
- Copy back ATI6000Controller.kext and paste to ML desktop (files is hidden,so need open terminal and type default write com.apple like 2nd step )>> download KextBeast and run
- Restart and on boot type -v only
- My graphics totally awesome
- Paste my DSDT on ML desktop >> run multibeast 4.6.1 >> tick userDSDT install & System Utilities >> done install >> reboot >> take out ML USB Boot
- Login back to install sound & network >> multibeast 4.6.1 ( Sound - Patched AppleHDA 889 ) ( Network - Lnx2Mac's )
