Using onboard HD4000 video
Have the DVI plugged in, no other monitors plugged in.

Snow Leopard installed without any problems and after so many other reports I expected Moutain Lion to be just as easy.

Followed the directions at

Downloaded ML, (didn't install it since the directions didn't indicate that I should.)

Downloaded Unibeast for M.L. 1.7.0

Paritioned a 8GB USB drive and ran Unibeast. Took about 30 minutes but it finally completed.
Powered off the system, started it back up and pressed F12, selected the USB drive.
At the Chimera Boot Screen instead of just the one option for USB I have two options:

USB or Snow Leopard.

Chose USB and it comes up the the apple with the spinning logo.
That is all the farther that it gets. I let it sit for over an hour and it didn't get any further.

Went back and checked the BIOS to Optimized and the HDD to AHCI.

Any help will be appreciated.
 
I had some more time this evening to try and figure it out.
Tried the install again with -v and it is "stopping" with the following just repeating:

disk2s1:media is not present,
I am assuming that this is my OCZ SSD drive that I am trying to install ML to.

This drive worked fine for my SL installation.

I then decided to see if I could boot it to a 1TB disk drive that I had. This time I received an error:
disk3s1: media is not present

Any recommendations?
