alucard_xs Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi dudes, sorry bothering but I put this subject here because it's more a post installation problem that an installation one ... Well I installed Lion on hard drive 1 and I've got Windows 7 on hard drive 2 (can't make a working dual boot by the way ...) Lion works great, windows 7 too but when using Windows 7, after I can not boot Lion anymore ... it just hangs at the "PCI configuration begins" ... In order to make it work, I need to unplug hard drive 3 where no operating system is installed ... weird isn't it ? After that, Lion works until I boot Windows 7 and then, Lion won't boot anymore ... until I plug (this time) hard drive 3 ... Is there something to do ? It really pisses me off ... Thanks.

Now the settings in BIOS for boot order, devices and so on will be kept. Alternative is a good DSDT.aml with methods inserted ,but the RTC next solution is way simpler to manage.. second : If Lion hangs at "Pci configuration begins", you can either exchange AppleACPI and ApplePCI kexts with the ones from 10.6.7 ( also needed for Voodoobattery to work in Lion ) OR boot Lion with the flag "npci=0x2000". visit my Lion Guide ( see signature ) for the kexts. Download the Batterypack and the Elliotforcelegacy. If you have no laptop you can delete voodoo battery.Kext - the other 3 kexts, acpi,pci and legacyrtc are only of interest. All into /S/L/E, use kextutility 2.5 Lion , also downloadable from my guide to repair permissions. Report back if this helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 use kextutility 2.5 Lion Why not Kext Helper b7? I've used it on Lion and it works fine. Except that you have to force shutdown it because it hangs when quit. But that's no biggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucard_xs Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 HI dude thanks for your help, your first option works great, my CMOS doesn't reset now, great but the "npci=0x2000" flag does n't work, it still hangs at the pci configuration begins ...
