GA-Z68XP-UD3 F10 Unibeast 1.5.1 boots to Grey Screen with Cursor Only

[guido79]

My system is booting to a grey screen. I've created my USB installer with Unibeast 1.5.1 and the App Store download of ML. Everything boots ok until after verbose mode tries to load the log-in window. I get a cursor that I can move but nothing else on the screen. No installer window. Any ideas wht I can try next?

Thanks very much for any help!

I've been working on something similar for the past 12 hours. I finally got to the install screen after removing my graphics card and plugging into the HDMI on the motherboard. Then typing GraphicsEnabler=No during the unibeast loader screen.

I begin the installation, but it gets down to about 7 minutes remaining and the screen goes gray.

Lion was working well, but yesterday my audio stopped working, so I decided to upgrade everything.

Have you tried the onboard Intel video instead of your Radeon?

Hello all,

I'm having the same issue here... Any other advices out there?

I have the same Mobo @ F10 bios and the Gigabyte 6870. I tried upgrading to ML back at the end of July. My Hack sat for about a month. I went to 4Gb of ram, pulled out my W7 SSD, pulled out my video card and used the onboard graphics. I also pulled out my wifi card, not that that should matter. When I would attempt to install of Unibeast, my OSX drive would appear in Chamelion, yet when I got to the OSX install screen or Disk Utility I couldn't see my OSX drive anymore. So I pulled the OSX drive out of my hack and formatted it in my wife's MacBook. I then put it back into my Hack and started the whole process over. I did use GraphicsEnabler=No as I had in the past, and for some reason it loaded correctly. iCloud and appstore didn't work, but they do now. I was about ready to give up and I even thought there was something wrong with my SSD. I really don't have any advice, except that it works!

A quick update. I was finally able to get ML installed by pulling the the video card and using the onboard video instead. Thanks very much to those who suggested this.
