danmar Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Looks like I'm not finished. I was able to successfully install Mountain Lion but when I restart the computer with the usb drive and choose Mountain Lion with GraphicsEnabler=No -f I crash in a new area and I'm not sure what to do. I tried removing video kext folders from the flash drive. I hope that is correct. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterag Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Not listed as install target, or not listed in disk utility? You need to format the partition first. It is not listed as install target neither it is listed in disk utility. Please help. I only see the bootable USB drive from which i am installing the OS in the disk utility. The install target is blank. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only see the bootable USB drive from which i am installing the OS in the disk utility. The install target is blank. Please help. You have to format your partition first, use MacOs Plus as file system. Go to disk utilities>select the target partiton and then go to the erase tab, select MacOs Plus and then erase it. If you don't have a partition yet, you have to create it. In windows you may use disk administration tools that are located inside administrative tools. Good luck!

Cassio Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 hi, i was able to install mountain lion but i cant seem to install any other app. it keeps asking for the admin login and the account created at initial startup is only a standard account. i need help getting the admin access. thank you.

kegufu Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 hi, i was able to install mountain lion but i cant seem to install any other app. it keeps asking for the admin login and the account created at initial startup is only a standard account. i need help getting the admin access. thank you. I'm in the same boat, I have installed 10.8 and can boot into it using the usb boot, but I can't change anything that requires admin because it says my password is wrong, I follow tutorial for resetting it in single user mode and I have created 3 more admin accounts all of which osx tells me I'm using the wrong password. I even made the password 1 letter to make sure and it still wont let me log in to admin rights. I can't install chamealion on the HD to get it booting without the usb or get my graphics and network stuff added ether. anyone ever have this problem, I'm thinking of going back to Snow leopard unless someone has any great knowledge about this problem.

Nabigh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I am at an extremely frustrating point in the Hackintosh process. I cannot get Chameleon Wizard onto the (soon to be) Mac computer, along with any ktexts I need. The Mac is not recognizing CDs, or USBs - only an internal-secondary HD, and the Mac-installed HD. What is the best option at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassio Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 You installed from USB and it doesn't recognize USB ports? Very strange. You can try patching DSDT to get USB working http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=634 Quote -Donations- PayPal HERE - Stripe HERE - BuyMeaCoffee HERE - Mercado Livre HERE Skrill danielnmaldonado@gmail.com - BTC 33HeGCuCSh4tUBqdYkQqKpSDa1E7WeAJQ3 PicPay @danielnmaldonado - PiX @danielnmaldonado@gmail.com Premium Users HERE - Problems with Paypal HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabigh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yes. USB HDs do not show in the Disk Utility or Finder. I must say that I deleted a whole bunch of ktexts on the USB, before I read the last post (at that point in time) and figured out my IOBluetooth error. From my understanding the HD ktexts are the ones being used at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassio Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yes, kexts from USB are only used by installer, they are not copied to HD. Have you tried USBBusFix=yes? If it doesn't work you probably need to patch DSDT.

Nabigh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The entire DSDT method seems to rely on the criterion that I have availability to another OS on the same PC. Which I am then suppose to extract the very same computers BIOS to patch it, and then place that patch on an alternative USB (?), from which I proceed to a trial-and-error process - attempting to fix my USB functionality. And if I am suppose to open the same USB used to install Mac OSX, it will not open without reformatting on the alternative PC. This is my first time hacking any type of OS; other than setting up a Linux machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabigh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I had planned on deleting the contents of the second-internal-drive anyway. So, I suppose it is possible to format the HD - such that I can use it to transfer files between another Mac. Maybe it will work?

Cassio Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 The fact that the system was installed from USB makes it hard to believe you can't access USB from the running system, but I really have no other idea. I would try DSDT patches EHCI, UHCI, DTGP and IRQs for your chipset. You can try the Clover bootloader, it has an auto patcher feature with USB fixes http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2304 Here you find instructions to create bootable USB from Windows http://www.osx86.net/view/2571-clover_v2_r515__efi_bootloader_pkg_+_win_...html Quote -Donations- PayPal HERE - Stripe HERE - BuyMeaCoffee HERE - Mercado Livre HERE Skrill danielnmaldonado@gmail.com - BTC 33HeGCuCSh4tUBqdYkQqKpSDa1E7WeAJQ3 PicPay @danielnmaldonado - PiX @danielnmaldonado@gmail.com Premium Users HERE - Problems with Paypal HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm4n Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hi Cassio, Thanks for this- was able to install onto single partition HD on Dell Optiplex 755. The system boots from USB then will startup from the HD into Mountain Lion, but it won't startup without the USB. Have installed Chameleon and used multishit custom install to install FakeSMC etc. But wary of installing too many kexts with multishit without knowing whether they're necessary. Am using an Radeon 5670 graphics card- but have yet to get it recognised- Framebuffer info required- have got Lion 10.7.4 running reasonably well on another HD in the same machine. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks again.

That's the problem.

Prang123 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I get to the installer (about 11 minutes remaining) and it says there was an error and to restart and try again. Has something to do with the Essentials.pkg but I don't know how to save the log so I can get it on Windows. Any help? Edit: Figured out how to save log.

Peterag Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I tried both -f boot option and also tried patching it as detailed in the link you provided but still I am not able to see my internal hd. Alternatively I tried to install it on a USB external hard drive and the installation went fine. However, I am not able to boot from it as my bios recognises only 1 USB drive. I am either able to see the bootable drive or the installed ML external hard drive. Is there a way I can overcome this and boot ML from the external hard drive. Appreciate your help in this regard. If SATA is as AHCI in BIOS the HD should be listed in DU. Try booting with -f, maybe you have this problem http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prang123 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hi there, I checked the md5sum of the .raw file like you said, and it is exactly the same as the one here (4251f2d2866417add966ffcec848cc4f). Where can I find the other file there is an md5sum for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
