-nehalem_error_disable

AppleTyMCEDriver.kext controls the relationship between the OS and ECC RAM.
If you do not have ECC RAM and you use the SMBIOS of a Mac that does then you will experience a KP on boot.
This can be avoided if you boot with -nehalem_error_disable

worked for me just now on a box with mountain lion 10.8.* and chameleon
not sure if it will work with clover etc
