Mount InstallESD.dmg

*InstallESD.dmg Lion GM --> "Install Mac OS X Lion.app/Contents/SharedSupport".

Open Terminal and run the command:

open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg

Now click on the Restore tab, drag Mac OS X Base System to Source and the USB drive partition to Destination, then click on the Restore button. This operation takes several minutes.
The partition will have its name changed automatically to Mac OS X Base System after the restoration.

After the restoration, open the restored partition, navigate to System/Installation, delete the Packages link and create a folder with the same name, Packages.

Open Terminal and run the command:

open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages

Copy the files to the Packages folder created previously.

Run the installers "Extra Lion" and "Chameleon RC5". Remember to click on Change Install Location... and select the USB drive as destination, or they will be installed on the running system.

With the installer USB ready, boot it and install Lion to an HD partition.

* If you have problems in installation with the message "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer", replace the file "OSInstall" in the folder System/Installation/Packages by this...

After the installation, boot the USB drive again, but in Chameleon menu choose to boot the HD.

The system is running, but it doesn't boot without the USB stick, then we have to install the bootloader (Chameleon), the essential kexts and the DSDT

Post installation

i'm here..thanks Maldon

First of all Thanks for the impressive guide!

I followed it to the letter and now have a working Lion

However, my cpu is not recognized correctly and therefore Lion is slow as #$&*(@.

I've got the following setup:

• Asus p8p67-m
  
• core i5 2500k
  
• Sapphire Radeon 6850

I've followed all your steps, copied the extra folder from the macbook pro 8,1 (sandy bridge)
added the kexts at the end of your post to the extra/extensions folder
used kextutil to create a new mkext file for the extensions
updated the boot.plist file to include SMBIOS=/Extra/smbios.plist

My video card shows as a Radeon NI40 (same as under 10.6.7), has accelerated desktop but no working dvd player, etc...

Network works, installed the lnx2mac 8111 driver from multibeast

Yes! That did the trick, used the Andy package. Installed it to the USB stick first and tried to boot from that, worked the first time. Now have a lion sporting a Core i5 which is blazing fast!

Thanks again!

Working Now , but I am always in overclock, perhaps I have understood what has happened, I  explain you. .su the Snow Raid software I have the r700, and I left  from this boot, will be this?
Perhaps I have detached the SSD physically, and has left Lion, I enclose you my CABP, is from modification?

Stuck on "Systemuptime in nanoseconds is 37909(Somenumber)"
Despite I installed Chameleon to the Pendrive it changed my Snow's Bootloader and windows no longer boots ( I use modcd to boot into windows )

Nope
you did something wrong
follow the procedure of the topic
and do not forget to change the install location

[aatkco]

Ignore the windows problem, I repeated the whole Guide and booted from the flashdrive and the same thing happened, see the attached stuck picture
BTW this happens seconds after choosing Mac OS X Base System from the Flash Chameleon List
Tried booting using cpus=1 and it loaded a lot more lines but it stuck too .

from preliminary searching, my problem with chameleon on the lion drive might just be that it's a 2TB HDD..

Anyways, aside from strange chameleon issues, I noticed the fakesmc kext you linked in the OP wouldn't show me my cpu temps in iStat in lion...
swapped it with my Snow Leopard one and worked well, should anyone run into that issue...
