Jack Donker Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hello, I'm having a perfect hackintosh. It was fully supported by Leopard then Snow Leopard. Didn't need any special kexts. (Only Fakesmc and VoodooHDA) Now I want to Install Lion. But because its a MSI mobo there is a little bug. It won't boot the Lion USB installation!! It there some kind of bootcd I can use or a fix to be able to boot it? I already updated to newest bios because acording to Medion and MSI it would fix the USB bug but it didn't. I red somewhere MSI only boots MBR or something. Anyone with experience on MSI install?? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iXD Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hey there! I'd suggest you wait a bit since the officicial release of MAC OSX Lion is almost here. This means that at the very moment Lion steps out, there will be guides around how to install it. Installing the final version just might differ from installing a DP version. For reference, installing the developer preview is easy if you have a fully functioning Snow Leopard installation. You basicly need to download Lion DP4 DVD, create an installation partition using it, install the latest Chameleon RC5 (can boot all the MAC OSX's as well as the Lion installation partition) and simply install Lion. I'd say that a well editet DSDT is a must. (Goes to Lions Installation partitions Extra folder, DSDT Autopatcher version might well work) You'd also need to add the right smbios.plist as well as com.apple.boot.plist configuration file to the same folder. To put this post short, you dont need to use some USB workarounds. Chameleon RC5 boots everything you need and it's always a good idea to have a working Snow Leopard (SL) there in case something goes wrong. It's also good to have a backup of SL itself too... Carbon Copy Cloner is the right tool for backups and it's free. If you need a guide, more information or files, etc. , just drop a post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
