ok, i've managed to install Lion, but i can't boot it. when i boot into [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] it doesn't detect my Lion install, the only thing [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] detects is USB Flash or USB HD not internal HDs. am i missing any settings in the BIOS. I have SATA Native mode ON and using AHCI (Snow works fine)

remove all usb hardvare problems will solve

 

Alternately, attach a PS/2 keyboard *without* removing the USB peripherals.

Lion boots fine with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] - but then USB mouse and keyboard don't work! I don't know why! Please help! (Tried changing BIOS settings)

 

Intel DP55WB Motherboard.

Core i7 870

 

I keep a PS/2 keyboard plugged in *only* to navigate around [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/XPC on the stick - my USB keyboard and mouse (both wireless in addition) work just fine.

I've been trying to boot of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

I can get to the restored base system partition, it loads the drivers and then shows this:

P170411_19400001.jpg

I have no idea what to do.

I've tried several boot flags.

I've got an Asus P5GZ-MX. Really puzzled.

Would appreciate if anyone could help.

You need to delete PlatformSupport.plist from the install disk you made.

both is yes...however you might install without any password so it's possible to use a black market version of Lion :)

 

 

;) ? i dont understand !!

 

 

to acquire a beta version of Lion, yes you need to have a count developer, but to install it on your PC, no !!!

Have you installed fakesmc in S/L/E after lion installation? if you have another partition with Snow leopard you can install your kexts from there in that dir, remember to change folder and kext permission of the new ones before to reboot. cheers

lion doesn't start because it doesn't load/find fakesmc, there are a few comands that you have to type in order to add fakesmc.kext in S/L/E from your bootloader (XPC or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]), than you should ready to go, although i don't remember the exact procedure now, try to find it in this or another lion related installation threads... cheers
