Hi everyone,
I have a Lenovo G460 having the following configuration :
Intel Core i5 520M 2.4 GHz
500 GB HDD
Nvidia Geforce 310M 512 MB

If anyone has successfully installed ML on a similar configuration machine please post your results here especially regarding the graphics chipset.
Thanks.
 
Ok so i installed ML and found a major problem.
Problem is that the system freezes after a couple of minutes after boot. I looked up the system log and found this:

I also got the
NVDA(OpenGL): Channel Timeout!

The graphic card show up in system profiler with all the info but the system hangs after a few minuted of boot. I can move the mouse but the screen is frozen. I have edited my DSDT in the following manner :

bump.....
 
ok so i did a fresh install using unibeast. Now all the kexts are loaded properly including the geforce.kext, nvresman etc. But still the system freezes after boot. The cpu fan starts to spin really fast and the laptop heats up. I have attached my system log and a picture of the freeze. Please help me i'm really desperate.

now i'm beginning to think this is not related to graphics anymore and its a power management related problem. Can anyone confirm this please?
 
Can anyone please give some suggestions on how to solve the problem?
 
did you use ssdt?
i noticed you're using an i5 processor.

i read somewhere that i5s and i7s need this to work properly.s

also, is your lenovo g460 model have hd3000 as well? some models do come with both 310 and hd3000 build in. perhaps you can set your bios to just use the hd3000.

just a wild card guess...
 
hello thanks for your reply. I dont have the intel hd 3000..just the 310m. And about ssdt i think its only required for sandy bridge systems but still will give it a try.
