Ninja82 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I have successful results. It boots from USB, all I had to do is replace all the ATI kexts from Base System with older ones from DP3. No more white background with beach ball. Let's see what happens. Here is a little guide on how I got it working: 1. Get the dmg from the usual sources. 2. Mount the dmg 3. Show all hidden files in Finder (this can be done with an app, search on google "show files" or here on insanelymac) 4. Mount BaseSystem 5. Go to Disk Utility 6. Partition your 8 gb USB drive with GPT partition table, one partition 7. Restore BaseSystem.dmg on your USB drive 8. Copy mach_kernel from Lion DMG to root of USB 9. Copy from the parent dmg the Packages folder over USB drive /System/Installation/ (you should delete the alias/shortcut there) 10. Install to your USB drive Chameleon, your working Extra folder and dsdt.aml file 12. Install FakeSMC in USB drive /System/Library/Extensions (using Kext Wizard) 13. Reboot and Install wait for the installer to finish 14. Boot in Snow Leopard and install Chameleon, the Extra folder and dsdt.aml to your Lion partition 15. Boot in Lion and enjoy. I was inspired by this method: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=256729 and credits go to MaLd0n Please note that I used a spare hard drive partitioned with GPT. The sistem works except there are some glitches when going to GUI, there are sound issues with ALC889a and sleep does not work at all and also resets CMOS. Otherwise the system feels more solid and it is more polished. With this build Apple droped the intro video, they also droped the legacy wallpapers. Hope you will find this usefull, Cheers r0ck3r4ever thanks. Your method worked for me and I am hopping we can use the same technique to install the final release of OS X Lion. Using the same kexts from SL to Lion really worked like charm. With SL I had problem with my Nvidia GTX 260 but in Lion it worked flawless. Dual Monitor and QE/CI. ALC888 as always problematic...

fragreaver Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I got it installed, full qe/ci/resolution (with nvenabler64), sound, 64bit working, but no network :/ Gotta try [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] later edit: fully working Contrary to 10.6.7, which had really poor graphic performance. Gotta install it to my sad now as it runs pretty stable for my needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dradis Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Got it running on my EP43-UD3L. Followed the quick n easy install guide in the sticky section. I got it installed, full qe/ci/resolution (with nvenabler64), sound, 64bit working, but no network :/ Gotta try [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] later edit: fully working Contrary to 10.6.7, which had really poor graphic performance. Gotta install it to my sad now as it runs pretty stable for my needs Since you said "install it to my sad", i have to ask, have you figured out how to turn off the keyboard auto correct? I really need that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
