Hello all.
This is my system:

Asus Rampage IV Extreme BIOS 2105
i7 3820 CPU
32GB GSkill DDR3 RAM
128GB OCZ SSD
2 X 1.5TB Seagate Sata 6gb/s drives
Nvidia GTX 670

I am following this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...e-asus-rampage-iv-extreme-core-i7-3820-a.html
to install Mountain Lion.

The only major difference between that guide and my system is that I am using the GTX 670 instead of AMD 6870.

I have successfully created the USB Installer via Unibeast, and added GraphicsEnabler=No as a boot flag (typed in at Chimera boot screen then hit enter).

However, I get stuck at the Apple logo and white screen, and nothing moves (I have let it sit for a while).

I read somewhere that I must use PCIRootUID=0 since I am using an Nvidia card, but I am unsure of the syntax to add multiple boot flags (or if I even had it right in the first place...)

Any guidance?

UPDATE: Booted in verbose, install hangs at "PCI Configuration Begin"
UPDATE 2: Booted with -x -v -pcirootuid=0, still hangs at "PCI Configuration Begin

UPDATE: Booted in verbose, install hangs at "PCE Configuration Begin"

try type in

-v -x pcirootuid=0

and hit enter. multiple boot flags are separated by a space (one tap on the key board space bar)
 
-v -x pcirootuid=0

Thanks for the tip!

I tried this exact sequence, but it still hung for over 10 minutes on PCI Configuration Begin. :(
 
try then with -v -x pcirootuid =1
 
I have got a very similar system.. And I've been trying very hard to get ML onto this system. I'm having the same problem it just hangs in PCI configuration begin. Any solutions?
