v3ct0r Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Still stuck on apple logo for about 40 minutes... I used the 10.8.4 zip and IO patches for 10.8.4 to create the usb. Is that correct? The installation said it failed. When you boot, try and boot with "-v" and let us know what the last few line(s) that appears is/are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same error as on page 6, [ PCI configuration begin ]. -v -f doesn't work. -v npci=0x2000 doesn't work. about to try 0x3000 and PCIRootUID=1 before both 0x's. Then I'll try PCIRootUID=0. FAILED^ I installed Mountain Lion, then it failed, then I installed the 10.8.4 Extras from the folder I dragged onto the flash drive after touching perms from copying S/L/E from the 10.8.4 folder and the two IO fixes from that folder. I'm booting the partition via the USB bootloader. Could that be the problem somehow? Was I supposed to install Chameleon during setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamousdice Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 As bad as it sounds, I would try and re-create the installation disk. Sometimes, things just go inexplicably wrong and all that a problem needs to be solved it a fresh start. I would format using disk utility, recreate the installation disk (and remember to delete those two kexts for the graphics), and try the install again. Good luck! You're so close! finally got the installation boot! when i get to the language screen it takes a few minutes for me to be able to click on the next arrow. after the installation starts it get an error saying installation failed. it says shut down,restart,viewlog, and savelog.what could be wrong? Still have this same problem after recreating my installation USB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage24x Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It doesn't ask for an extra folder at the end of the install it just says failed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage24x Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 [ PCI Configuration Begin ] error... any ideas? 10.8.4 Fixed. What I did was redo the USB, and do the same thing roar2000 suggested, but with the 10.8.4 ML folder. Now to find those wireless kexts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it will ask to install extras. Use the 10.8.4 folder as the extra folder. It'll boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinguy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi patel4prez, Thank for putting the time into this guide, not to mention keeping it updated. it is excellent! Was looking to upgrade to 10.8.4., but but it appears the permissions for the Extras attached to the thread may be wrong (note that it has zero downloads). I get a message that I'm not allowed to view the attachement, all other attachements on the post can be accessed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
