Hi,
I have MacOSX Lion 10.7.5 on my SDD drive installed. I am trying to update it to ML in 2 ways without success:
1. I have downloaded ML 10.8.2 from App Store, run the installer, follow the steps and restart computer. But when the computer is restarted: I still have version 10.7.5! Seems nothing happened.
2. The second option is with a USB ML bootable created with UniBeast, but it hangs when booting.

My HW is:
Z68X-UD3H-B3 BIOS F12
ATI RADEON HD 6870 1GB
Intel i7-2600K

Any idea please?
Thanks
 
You can't install OSX with the Apple installer, you need to use Unibeast.

Boot with -v -x PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x2000

If it still hangs, post a picture.
 
I have booted with -v -x PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x2000 options, and I still have the same error (see attached screenshots). The system enters in a loop. The only USB devices are the keyboard and mouse (and I have tried with a different keyboard and mouse too).
It seems the USB error is the USB pendrive I am booting ML. I also tried to plug the pendrive in the frontal and back USB ports.
Thanks for any help.

I have tried from USB ports and either I have the same problem or the pendrive is not recognised. I will try to get another pendrive and try it again, if not I will give up. I installed MacOSX Lion from a USB pendrive without any problems but with ML I cant even boot the instaler.
Is possible to boot ML from DVD?
