douglasrp Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Essential System Software, cannot be installed. My HD is on dual boot, hybrid MBR/GPT, and I used the OSinstall files. Any Ideias?

Hackintosh2000 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I use a DSDT that I found on OSX86.net. It's meant for a mobo that's similar to mine. Can I create one that fits my board perfectly? And what's a patched DSDT? DSDTs can be quite board and setup specific. If you are going to extract your own DSDT do not boot up with another. Boot up without a DSDT if you want to extract your own native DSDT. A patched DSDT is simply one that has some lines of code added to add functionality so you don't have to use certain kexts. It makes for a more "vanilla" install. For example my patched DSDT enables me to forgo using the nullcpumpowermanagement Kext. There are patches for sound and other things. I am no expert on DSDTs. Someone patched mine for me many moons ago.

yonyz Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I did extract a DSDT and the patch resulted with 2 optimizations and 28 errors. I don't even know if I'm currently using a DSDT. Will check when I'm home. Thanks.

tombosch Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks so much for this great tutorial. 10.8 boots perfect but unfortunately without USB at all.. No mouse or keyboard. Tried different hardware but no result. Only with -f the USB will work but my system doesn't open any program with that boot flag. Anybody..?? Thanks.

Hackintosh2000 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 DIdn't work in my case. After typing -v (for verbose) in the initial part of the install, of course lots of cryptic text whizzes by. But before I could see what's wrong, it reboots. Tried doing it from scratch the 2nd time, same result. Using the GM, by the way, on an Asrock G41M-VS3 + Q9550 + 4gbx2 ram + 9500GT. The process is very similar the way I did it in Lion, using MaLd0n's guide. I din't have a problem on that one. Oh well ... back to work in the meantime ... and will wait for someone who could install this on the same hardware as mine. Try a different Chameleon. I had your problem and that fixed the issue. I am now using Chameleon r2015. Let me know if that fixes your problem. Also make sure you used Kext Wizard to place FakeSMC in the System\Library\Extensions folder and repair permissions afterwards.

monto Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Just tried Chameleon r2015 you recommended and ran Kext Utility from safe mode of ML to reset permission. I was using Kext Wizard previously as it allowed me to select which drive to install kext where Kext Utility didn't allow it. Unfortunately, both of these actions didn't make a difference. Still stalling at boot unless booting in safe mode. One thing I have noticed just now, is that the first line in boot.log (assuming the first line is the last entry) under root is as below: Read HFS+ file: [hd(0,2)/System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext/Contents/Info.plist] 2335 bytes. Where my Lion's boot.log has a different first line. Does it suggest the problem is indeed NVidia 8400GS?

macq Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi Macq, Any luck with this issue? May be its a graphic card (kext), but its not booting even with GraphicsEnabler=No No , havent got any success. The frustrating thing is that after a number of tries it boots perfectly out of the blue ,with everything working fine as in lion. This lasts for 2-3 reboots and it stalls again at same point without any reason.So why it boots only occasionally is not clear. Also this seems to be affecting quiet a few people. please Share if you find a fix anytime Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277015-guide-installing-mountain-lion/page/4/#findComment-1836563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjohnst2 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hey all, I have installed on a Dell Inspiron 530 that has Lion working perfectly (separate partition.). During the install I did receive an "install failed" message at the end, but ML will boot and run fine.... UNTIL I try to repair permissions; then I have an error message appear: "Error: No installer packages can be found for this disk.". There is another thread that references the problem being a corrupt ML image, but I have tried two different images and installed fine on two MacBook Pros with the same image, no problems. Any thoughts, or ways I can fix this prob?

monto Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 How did you inject the video string? The video fix could possibly make the booting progress further, but if there are other kext causing problem, it would panic again. It worked for my 8400GS. Milage may vary for other cards, but the concept should be the same.

MNSiw Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've added my card id to NVDANV50Hal.kext info.plist IOPCIMatch using PlistEdit Pro and installed it using Kext Utility, may be other kext also need this modification, like NVDAResman.kext.

monto Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Your graphic card is the same as mine, and it should work. Make sure you rebuild the cache. I used Kext Wizard to fix permission and rebuild cache for SLE completely. My first attempt of changing the info.plist didn't actually modify the file, and it automatically reverted back to the original setting. You can try copying NVDANV50Hal.kext to the desktop, and modify info.plist there, then use kext wizard to put it back, then rebuild cache. It didn't work for me for the first attempt and after a few tries it worked for some odd reason. Maybe permission related.
