KP with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and Mountain Lion.. Freeze at gray Apple Solution Found

Hello Everyone,

I'm a long time Hackintosher, 5+ Years, but this has got me stumped!

My build with the GA-Z68XP-UD3 motherboard has been solid for about a year running Lion using TonyMac's install method. I decided to upgrade to Mountain Lion over the weekend and ran into some issues that could not be fixed with searching the web for solutions, so it's time to ask for help!

Actually the upgrade from Lion didn't go too well so I decide to start fresh and reformat the drive, Crucial M4 256gb SSD, after saving all files.

Here's the computer specs: GA-Z68XP-UD3 / i7 3.49 GHz / GeForce GTX 560 2048 MB / 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 / Crucial M4 256gb SSD / Bios v10

System will stall at the gray apple screen.
I can boot into the system/desktop using "-x" for a safe boot.

Here's the org.chameleon.Boot.plist:

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>2</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>

I not too sure what I'm reading on the KP screenshot or how to fix it.

Thanks!

KP with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and Mountain Lion... What to tweak? [Solution Found]

Believe it or not I just found a solution for me via this thread even though I have a GTX 560 as it worked fine in Lion, I figured maybe my GTX 560 isn't supported as well in Mountain Lion: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/78875-getting-650ti-working.html#post489880

I was at wits end for days and read every page above and it was recommended to remove AppleTyMCEDriver.kext from SLE... guess what? It worked no need to boot in safe mode -x!

I'm back to the plain old org.chameleon.Boot.plist file:

<dict>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>4</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
</dict>

I'm thrilled and hope it works for everyone!

I can love again and live again!
