I am trying to do a clean install of 10.8. Currently running 10.7.4 on a 2009 15" MBP that is fully supported.

I restore the .dmg successfully to an 8GB USB stick. Once complete I reboot and hold option key and select the stick for installation and then I get this screen almost immediately:

Here is my installer log:

I could'nt even find the installESD on the GM, which forced me to do a clean install of DP4, and then upgraded to GM from there.

Although it seems you have been successful in doing a bootable USB, so I would recommend reseting the PRAM.

Reset PRAM and try again?

I burned my GM 10.8 into a DVD and install from there. like yours, I cannot find the installESD.dmg so I just burned the original .dmg file. And it worked fine.

Its too big for a DVD, did use dual layer or did you remove some components from the dmg?

I have had this happen on 10.7 a few times. Just goto Utilities > Terminal and manually launch the Install Mac OS X.app program. It will install like normal after that.

For those of you who didnt see an InstallESD.dmg, you got your copy off of BitTorrent, and the file you have IS InstallESD.dmg. Dont open it, just restore that.

Caught this thread a little late. I tried to do the same thing via USB drive and got the same message. After trying three times I just installed over Lion and everything is operating fine. :apple:
