drrty byl Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I am trying to install Lion on my Intel D945/Pentium D 820 CPU setup. I have removed /System/Library/PlatformSupport.plist from DP build a390, but the system still hangs/black screen at "Loading Darwin x86_64" or similar at the end of the boot dialog. Is it also necessary to supplement boot.efi? Successfully installed Lion with a Core Duo? If so, would you mind sharing the build number and necessary modifications? Thanks in advance.

sirbow2 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 pentium D are not "core" they are an older architechture so you need a legacy kernel. but there are no legacy kernels for lion yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssprod Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Greetings, trying to install DP4 on a Dell D620 (4 gigs ram/120HD/945 graphics) Core Duo Processor. Not feelin' the love, any thoughts suggestions much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep -- sorry for the spam: it's a seldom used machine and I was think D was the desktop variant of core duo. Too much chip branding... Will try some things and reply here with any success.
