Hi,
I have a Samsung RV511 with an Nvidia 315M graphics card. I had issues booting into the Mountain Lion installer, everything ran off the USB fine, but when everything had finished booting, I got a black screen. I searched around and eventually found the solution to the problem was to use the boot flag "PCIRootUID=0". From what I've read, the problem is with any notebook that has an Nvidia card. Can anybody else confirm this?

Hope this helps for anybody having this issue.
 
PCIRootUID=0 is for pc with asus motherboard and nvidia graphics; have you tried GraphicsEnabler=No or -x flag?

I tried both of those options without success, PCIRootUID=0 worked for me, and that was all...
