First try in Safe Mode ( -x ), if don`t work, remove all ATI video kexts from your myHack USB Stick and try again...

How do I remove kexts from my hack ,

As well do I enter the -x when choosing from the boot loader ??

Thanks

Try using the flags -f -v ...

This way we may know on what spot is freezing...

I make it to installing and now it freezes

Use again -f -v and when it freezes, take a picture of the entire screen and place here...

You need also to remove the video kexts from your installed system...

To do that, follow this post > http://www.osx86.net/10-7-lion/13453...html#post91873

But before you run those commands, run the command below to backup the original kexts...

Code:

cp -R /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/Extensions /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/Extensions.backup

Also, don`t forget to replace "Macintosh\ HD" for the name of your OS X partition...
