Article: UniBeast: Install OS X Mountain Lion on Any Supported Intel-based PC
Can someone help me with this? I tried creating a USB Mountain Lion and Unibeast got stuck at 16% and said it was going to take 10 hours to complete. The time kept increasing as well lol
Does anyone know how I could do this? I was using lion to create the USB installer?
I have created the USB 8GB boot drive a number of times. In addition to the detail step by step instructions, I found that knowing what is taken place helps troubleshooting any problems. For example, I couldn't understand why it takes so long for UniBeast software to "prepare" a bootable 8GB USB drive.
I was preparing a Bootable 8GB USB drive with Lion OS. I forgot to "mount" the Lion OS USB ReadOnly stick when I ran UniBeast and the program ran and completed in a few minutes. When this part finishes so quickly, the Bootable USB will boot but you will get error "missing mac_kernel".
After re-reading the instructions carefully, I realized that I forgot to "mount" the Lion ReadOnly USB drive when I ran UniBeast.
Once I done that, the UniBeast software is preparing my Bootable 8GB USB drive with the necessary files from the Lion ReadOnly USB drive that I purchased.
The UniBeast on screen progress messages sometimes can be misleading. When it is working properly, just have to wait because UniBeast is reading and writing a few gigabytes of data from the Lion ReadOnly USB.
The above description is based on my many times running the UniBeast bootable drive creation, getting error messages, and re-reading the instructions.
It is difficult for me to just following instructions and not having any idea what the software is actually doing. If everything works fine, then there is no need to know the details.
It would be helpful that future version of UniBeast would display a warning message when the "mac_kernel" file is not detected.
