I am trying to Triple-Boot w/ Mountain Lion10.8.2, Ubuntu and Windows7. For installed MAC, I have created bootable USB thumb drive using UniBeast. I plugged it into my windows system and when I get to the screen at the start, I click on my unibeast USB drive & white/gray apple screen appears. The loading circle starts to revolve. How ever, shortly afterwards the screen freezes and I am unable to get the installed screen. Then I run with -verbose and it shows me this error - unable to open /var/db/bootcache.playlist 2. I searched for the solution. There are many with similar issue. I had tried many solutions like -

Enable S.M.A.R.T
Type pcirootuid =0
Update boot file - set "GraphicsEnabler=No".

but no luck so far. Here is my system configuration. Please help.

This is a prepackaged computer, yes? Like HP, Acer or Dell?

The internal "Standard VGA" graphics of the CPU is not supported in OS X. You would have to add a graphics card.
This is your problem, not the warning you are posting about
 
Thanks for the reply.

No. This is assembled system.

You would have to add a graphics card.

Thanks. Can you please suggest - which graphics card i need to buy to arrive at the Installer option? (I have already added system details in my original question)

Many Thanks.
