That's really wierd... But at least you solved your problem...should be fixed with the 1510 wireless card. If not, try removing the two wireless kexts from /Extra/Extensions

Good to hear! Does the keyboard/mouse delay still occur at login?

The steps inn the latest edit are right.

Yes, this may happen. It really did succeed though (or at least it should've). Reboot and check the version number in "About this mac"

I have successfully upgraded. In what way does it fail?

Try "USBBusFix=Yes" (without quotes) at the boot-loader.

I do not think that the layout would be an issue, although it very well could be. I simply do not know enough about that. In fact, I think you should make your own thread to ask others, as they may know much more than I do, and will be able to help you better. It seems like you are extremely close to completing your install and I hope that you get this issue resolved soon...

I don't know about everyone else, but I can say that I do not think that making a thread for each version of ML would be a good idea... As for the troubleshooting, I think a troubleshooting thread may be a good idea. We'll just have to move the conversation happening here to it once it's created (which shouldn't be too hard).

If it happens in the installer, then try booting with GraphicsEnabler=No What really gets me though, is that you have the same configuration I do, and mine works almost perfectly! Is your mouse and/or keyboard Bluetooth? Or are you using the internal ones?

Yes, that would most definitely contribute to the problem... I will update the guide to tell people to upgrade their BIOSes too later on...

To be honest, I don't know what AppleUSBEHIC. All I know is that I've seen it before and that it comes right before "Still waiting for root device" As a last resort, I remember having this same problem on an E6400. Nothing would fix it (at first), and then only thing that did was for me to clear the Lion partition on the same drive (the two partitions were interfering with each other). So if you have another OS X partition, I would delete it (after backing everything up) and then try reinstalling Mountain Lion. Lastly, I would like to say I am deeply sorry that this has been as complicated as it is. It takes a lot of patience to do this and that is something that you seem to have a lot of!

Looks like were gonna have to get a bit more extreme then...try the same process but the delete command should be: rm -rf AppleIntelHd*.kext And then try ans restart...

No problem. Since you have Intel Graphics, you will have to delete the two kexts mentioned above by 1. Booting off of the USB drive 2. Navigating to terminal 3. Entering the following: cd /volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions sudo rm -rf AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext sudo rm -rf AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext 6. Lastly, restart and you should be able to boot into your Mountain Lion e6410 using the same commands as the usb installer. As always, if you cant, boot into verbose mode and post the error/hang point here. Fingers crossed that this works ! PS. There may be typos as i typed this on my tablet...in the commands, i am basically refering to the two kexts you deleted originally off the usb drive...

Hey Jon, Did I ever ask you to post your harware specs? If so I don't remember them, but do you have an Intel or Nvidia Graphics card? The reason I ask is because (in all my experiences) the "Still waiting for root device" message is an indication that the system doesn't recognize the graphics card properly, and therefore won't boot. If you have an Intel, then you will need to remove the AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext and the AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext. Let me know and I will post instructions on how to do that.

No, that would be my fault. I forgot the -r after cp. So really, the terminal commands should look like this: cd "/Volumes/myHack OS X Install Disk/Patched Kexts" cp -R AppleAHCIPort.kext "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions" cp -R IOAHCIFamily.kext "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions" I am very sorry for this. It was a stupid mistake on my part.

Best of luck!

Okay, so to replace the kexts on the HDD with the patched ones from the first post here, the easiest way for you to do this would be to throw the patched kexts (after being unzipped) onto the USB Installer, boot from the installer, and use Terminal to install them. To begin: Make sure you did not rename your myHack installer drive; if you did, replace anywhere you see "myHack OS X Install Disk" with the name you renamed the flash drive to Unzip the patched kexts to a folder (I will call the folder "Patched Kexts" in the instructions; replace it with whatever name you called yours) and copy that folder to the root of your flash drive Boot the computer from the USB flash drive and use the same kernel flags (if any) to boot. Click Continue and Agree and then in the menu bar (on top) click Utilities, and then Terminal The commands you will use in Terminal are (replace the names of folders/disks in red to whatever you may have named it): Exit Terminal and click on Utilities in the menu bar (on top) and open myHack. Select Run myFix Select Full When it finishes, restart and hope and pray that it boots without a problem (as always, if it doesn't, restart again with "-v" (without quotes) and post the error/line it hangs at here).

Try updating to 10.8.2 using the 9/4/2012 edit instructions (but remember NOT TO REBOOT AFTER YOU INSTALLED THE UPDATE! APPLY THE PATCHED KEXTS FIRST!) That should solve that problem and I'll be stumped if it doesn't.

Yea that's normal. It sometimes reports it as failed, but other times it will succeed. Just try and boot with -v (if you can't boot at all) and let me know what error(s) you get.

That's great! (I think) you installed Mountain Lion! The installation failed error is a part of the process sometimes; sometimes it says succeeded. Anyway, I believe you have to replace the kexts on the HDD with the patched ones...I'll help you with this later (I gotta get to work).

I am on (what should be) the latest and greatest A12...in fact, I totally forgot about this even though I mentioned it to others in a different thread! Anyway, yes, updating the BIOS can make a HUGE difference! Also, 4GB of RAM is plenty (it's the same amount I have), .and it makes Mountain Lion SNAPPY!

Yea I've had that happen when first trying to get Mountain Lion on this... It's a lot easier to sort out once the OS gets installed! Basically, this is the pretty much the hardest part (just getting it to boot to the installer). After you can get it to boot from the installer, booting from the disk should be much easier.

Well, my first thought is to leave for a few mins (a good 5 mins. can't do much harm) and then see what happens. If it is still stuck, unplug it after the 5 mins have passed. That seemed to work for me on a different machine...

I don't see your attached image...

Nope. You've got that right....
