Follow the guide to the letter and then (as the very last step before rebooting from the USB Drive) remove the AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext and AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext. I hope this works!

Hey Jon, It doesn't seem like you are doing anything wrong... Try making sure that the BIOS settings are correct (the SATA Configuration setting should be AHCI, not anything else)... If that doesn't work for you, I would try and rebuild the USB drive again, but this time by using the 10.8.2 Mountain Lion installer which was just put out by Apple today. Note that you need to use the "E6410 ML 10.8.1.zip" (found in the first post under the 9/4/2012 edit) and NOT the "E6410 ML.zip" with the guide instead.

If that doesn't work fo you, try booting with "-f " (without quotes) and see if that helps

Try running my fix (Full) on the disk/partition and see if that helps...

That definitely is a lot of help! But next time, after you see Still waiting for root device, you can shut down Anyway, try using the patched kexts for 10.8.1 from the first post using kext wizard, and then run a myFix (Full) on the flash drive. I may have uploaded the wrong e6410 ml 10.8.1.zip which doesn't contain those two kexts... Please let me know how that works for you.

Hi katta, Did you install the chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) bootloader during the setup? Also, what are your machine's specifications (ex. CPU, Graphics, etc.)?

Hey Yorkshire_Jon, At the bootloader/screen where you see the hard drive icons, can you please hover over the partition/disk with Mountain Lion and type "-v" (without quotes) and then enter? Then, all you need to do is post the last few lines that it hangs at here.

Congratulations! That's really great news! To answer your unifail question, I am not entirely sure why it doesn't work, but I do know it is the way that myHack creates the USB installer. It seems to use a custom version of chameleon (the bootloader) and adds all kexts S/L/E by creating a myhack.kext and taking the ones from /Extra and adding them plugins to that specific kext. I am sure there is much more at play there but I just don't know what. All I can say is that Conti is amazing

Good luck! I hope all goes well! I would love to know how it goes! Thanks!

No problem. I've been quite busy too... Good luck as always!

Hey guys, I haven't heard from you in a while, but I was just wondering where you might be in the installation process and (if at all) removing those two kexts worked...

Follow the "Creating the Installer" section completely (but remember to use the E6410 ML 10.8.1.zip if you downloaded the Mountain Lion installer after August 23, 2012; not the E6410 ML.zip), and then follow the instructions in my last post when finished following just that section. Good luck!

Oh okay, Sorry; I didn't understand your previous post very well.. First, if you've downloaded the Mountain Lion installer after 8/24/2012, you need to use the E6410 ML 10.8.1.zip with the guide. Once you have made your USB Installer, since you are on intel graphics, try and delete the AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext from System/Library/Extensions by doing the following: On a working mac/hackintosh with your USB Installer plugged in, open the flash drive to reveal its contents in Finder Open the System folder Open the Library folder Open the Extensions folder Delete AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext by dragging it to the Trash from Finder Delete AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext by dragging it to the Trash from Finder Use Kext Wizard to repair permissions and rebuild caches (Open Kext Wizard, Navigate to the "Maintenance" tab in the bar at the top, select the USB Installer from the drop-down, select /Extra and /System/Library/Extensions (all check boxes should now be checked), and then click Execute) Eject your USB Installer from the working mac/hackintosh and try booting to the installer on your E6410 (press F12 at the Dell logo screen/BIOS to enter the One time boot menu and then select the USB Storage Device from the list Let me know if you have anymore questions

Hey richbutler1, I will definately upload a second pack for intel graphics and modify the guide, but before I do so, I would like to confirm what works and what doesn't under it. Since I don't have a 6410 with intel graphics to test with, Marc and yourself are a big help to me and everyone else in getting mountain lion to work with 6410s with the intel graphics.

Sorry it took a while to get back... The hotel I am at has terrible internet access. Anyhow, try removing these two kexts from S/L/E and rebuild your caches/repair permissions with Kext Wizard if you haven't already after putting those other two kexts back: [*]AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext [*]AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext

Hahaha! That would in fact be the problem! I thought you had an Nvidia all along! For now, put all the kexts back where they belong that you removed as this will not solve your problem. I will get back to you later...

I know. The AppleIntele1000.kext is different and lives in S/L/E, not /Extra And no, you don't have to rebuild but you could try it anyway. Can't hurt

Huh... Try removing AppleIntele1000.kext from S/L/E on the flash drive and see what happens. If its the same error again, put the kexts back... I will be on vacation this weekend so I am sorry in advance if I can't get back to you as quickly.

Progress! Always a good thing... Try removing the Intele1000.kext from S/L/E on the flash drive. Let me know if you can't find it.

Okay Marc, Try and remove the DSDT.aml from the /Extra folder on the USB drive and try booting... If that doesn't work, post your system specs (CPU, Graphics Card, etc.) and the verbose mode (-v) message where it hangs...

Hey Marc, At the bootloader, try typing in "-v" (without quotes) and let me know where it hangs...

I have had much better luck using chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) 1.10.1 The myhack version of chameleon didn't work at all for me (the system didn't boot)...

I get the slow POST every time I button-mash F12, even with the Minimal boot on... The trick for me is to wait until it says "press f12 to enter one time boot now..." in the top right and then I press it ONCE.

But Kext Wizard also rebuilds the kernel cache and repairs permissions, and that doesn't take long for it to do. So I guess moving the kexts from S/L/E is what's taking a while? I know that when myHack moves the kexts, it really just adds them as plugins to the myHack.kext, but that shouldn't take 30-45 minutes... Should it?

Thank you! It took a while to write!
