ErikDjupvik Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Download and install lnx2mac ethernet drivers Are we talking about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aju Deeju Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 I dunno. I did a cumbersome work around. What I can say is that when I went into which ever Packages folder there was no OSInstall.mpkg. I think it was "OSInstall.pkg". Two different file names. Keep in mind this was on the App Store download. nawcom's simple command line method worked fine on all other Lions including GM... just not retail. Did your method work on the Retail Lion or are you just assuming it will work because it worked on GM? I too downloaded from the appstore and mounted the Basesystem.dmg then deleted the Packages link and copied packages folder but there was an OSInstall.mpkg there.....and ya my method works fine even in Final because I am using final version and sending this message from it Are we talking about this? Yup...by the by which is your ethernet card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikDjupvik Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Will I always encounter all this text and stuff when I boot to Mac? Edit: Ahh, {censored}. Now it wont boot at all.

I did, but now I have to press F8 and select the USB as boot device. If I dont, I just end up on a Black Screen with a white flashing "_". And booting Lion from the USB took a long time. And what do you know, Lion froze. Edit: Okay.. i think my system is f***'ed. I formatted the Mac-partition, so now I only have Windows Installed. However, when I boot, I'm stuck at the black screen with the flashing "_". I certainly hope this isnt permanent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Oh, and btw, it was that kext I installed that screwed it up. Edit 2: I also got dual monitors, forgot to mention, if it has anything to say. Edit 3: Uhm..
