D820 Mountain Lion Install Issues

[operationblade2]

Guys,

 

So my D820 Laptop is currently running Lion 10.7.2 fine. I have also installed the latest EDP from OSX Latitude and can say I have no errors on boot via verbose mode. Load-up time is around 90 secs. The full spec and details are in my signature.

 

I have bought a copy of Mountain Lion after finding out from OSX Latitude their latest EDP/Boot-packs is fully compatible.

 

I have tried to install ML from a USB stick and have followed the unifail 1.5.2 method, the installer gives no errors and created the disk in around 45 minutes.

 

Booted successfully to the disk into verbose mode which ran through its stages and then after around 21 screen refreshes, the laptop reboots.....

 

So I used Pause and found the error to be something to do before or when USB legacy boot is turned on, it is successful but the laptop reboots. I have tried these commands;

 

-v USBFix=y

-v USBFix=y arch=i386

-v USBFix=y arch=x86_64

-v -x USBFix=y arch=i386

-v -x USBFix=y arch=x86_64

 

I also selected both Legacy and Laptop Support option in unifail to no avail.

 

I have also used the "my Hack tool and get exactly the same error even when booting with those commands.

 

I have used "my Hack" and installed utils and Extra folder, with all EDP kexts and just the main ones

 

I am a noob to this so any help would be gracefully appreciated.

Then Black Screen and Laptop resets to BIOS load screen, doesn't load into ML installer.

 

Thanks,

it is not finding a dsdt in your extra folder also you must make sure you do not have arch=i386 in your Boot.plist file
