No joy on the install. Here's a recap:
- Installed in safe mode(only way I get the system to boot the USB drive) with the extras provided by OP.
- Chameleon bootloader was not installed on the hard drive, so booted off the install USB drive and selected the hard drive with the ML installation. At this point I get an EBIOS read error/device timeout. Tried booting the ML installation in safe mode as well, no luck there either.
- PC BIOS was updated from A12 to A14 and I disconnected all unnecessary pieces of hardware(extra drives, wireless PCIe card), and repaired permissions on the ML drive. At this point, only the primary hard drive is connected to the SATA 0 port. I still get the same error.
