Me too, looks almost exactly the same as what I get. I say 'almost' because I did not check all the numbers.
The reason I am trying to reinstall osx 10.8.2 is because of a hard-drive failure. I am booting from the dead drive which for some reason still has a functioning boot loader and then jumping to another drive that has a carbon-copy-clone of my now dead system. Not the best situation so I sat down to do a reinstall.
Using Unibeast 1.7.0 + purchased 'install osx mountain lion' (reports version as 1.3.19)
This has been really flaky to just get the usb stick to boot without a kernel panic. Now I have the USB install stick booting (using -x) and my osx install now kernel panics right at the start (5-10 seconds in) and the screen is what you have posted.
I thought this would be an easy reinstall but it is not. Went back to the previous Unibeast 1.5.x and previously downloaded mountain lion (reports version as 1.3.18) and same problems:
-Kernel panic on booting USB stick, need -x to get in.
-Once in the installer, kernel panic right at the start of the install.
Found this thread which seemed like a good strategy, involves installing with -x (from usb) and booting the system with -x until you can rollback ACPIPlatform.kext:

Can't implement this strategy because now I am stuck right at the start of the install???
Help, I am not tinkering here, just want a stable system again...

I am making the usb stick using unibeast on a 10.6.8 machine. Here is the log file of the last usb making success. Hey Macman, is there anything you see here that has gone wrong?
I've tried 2 different usb sticks multiple times.
I've tried installing to fresh drives (both WD mechanical and Samsung SSD).
Right now I always get kernel panic at start of actual osx install.
My sig has the system I am using.

Me to, this is new and maybe progress? The last time I did this process (build usb with Unitbeast, Install from usb) it failed in the actual installer saying it has failed, rather than a kernel panic. Here is the log file from the non-installed drive.

I had install failures around that same point. Deleted and redownloaded the ML install file, made a new UniBeast drive, and it worked. I'd give that a try.

I guess I have a corrupt 10.8.2 installer from Apple.
Would like a definitive way of checking this like using a checksum but for now the fact that unibeast 1.7 fails at all different points each time I do the process (make usb, boot form it, install os x) and quickly looking at install.log and or the log off a 0.1% done install on a hdd.
Catch is, now I cannot download 10.8.2 as 10.8.3 is out. I did download 10.8.3 and did a fresh install on a macbook pro 13" (2009) and it went off without a hitch.
Question: Is there any official apple channel where I can download 10.8.2 to get a working copy now that 10.8.3 is out? Should be simple but my initial answer is no.
Question: I know unibeast just came out ... but... what is the chance of getting a unibeast that will work with the new 10.8.3? Timeframe?
In the end I really just want to be able to download 10.8.2 again but do not know how.
