Please Help!!! Trying to install ML 10.8 for the 1st time stuck on Apple Logo screen with no spinnin

[Mikhail716]

I'm having trouble installing ML 10.8 for the first time I followed the steps accurately to creat a bootable flash drive using unibeast and ML downloaded from the App Store but I'm getting stuck on the white apple logo screen with no spinning wheel. I tried boot flags -x -v -f PCIRootUID=0 and even GraphicsEnabler=No can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong could it be my bios setting Please Help!!!!! I'm using the same parts as Yo Mangs: asus x79 sabertooth mobo, i7 3930k CPU, gigabyte GeForce gtx 670 GPU, 16gb ram, and a OCZ vertex 4 128gb SSD


Any help would be greatly appreciated as you can all see a lot of money was put into these parts and I would just like to get it up an running. I'm a student in video editing and this build would really help my work and progress with special effects and hopefully i can submit my build in the "Golden Builds" forum. Thank you again for your time

boot with -v and take a picture of where the screen stops and post it then we might be able to give you some information on the problem

I hav tried that along with trying -x -f PCIRootUID=0 and even GraphicsEnabler=No. I don't have a picture at the moment but the MSG I'm getting is "PCI Configuration Begin" and it just sits there

boot with -v npci=0x3000 and take a picture

I booted with -v npci=0x3000 and got this. After I took the pic it started saying "still waiting for root device" over and over again

Try a different USB port don't use the front ones also boot with npci=0x3000 -v again and see if it works

No I'm using the unibeast method with mountain lion 10.8 I was able to setup my setting to start using the Mac dashboard but now it seems to be lagging

Ok this time boot with -x -v and see if the system speeds up at all when you get to the desktop. If you can't get to the desktop then take a picture of where the verbose boot stops at
