I am using the DSDT I used in snow, I am also booting with chameleon 1003 direct from an SSD drive, no USB boot necessary. This of course means little to you because both could vary depending on your hardware config, mainly your motherboard. To get specific answers you're going to need to post the run-down on your system. Also, this board is for post-install issues, you really want Lion install for these questions. Good luck!

To get specific answers you're going to need to post the run-down on your system. Also, this board is for post-install issues, you really want Lion install for these questions. Good luck! those are all post install question, as lion already installed on his system as for dsdt, there is nothing to change right know, if your dsdt was made like it should for snow, the result in most cases will be the same. but what you need to pay attention right now is patching AppleRTC.kext in case you have CMOS Reset after sleep, and some reported that after the patch they can use 0x04 or 0x08 in Length of RTC in DSDT to get rid of kernel: RTC: Only single RAM bank (128 bytes) when booting. i myself can;t use those cause i still get a cmos reset like in snow as for booting from drive, all you need to do is install chameleon into your lion partition or EFI partition (use search if you don't know what is it), you can find installer packages on lion installation forum, if you don't want to mess with terminal commends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisRidesBikes Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 well new problem now, i installed [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] user dsdt & the newest version of charmelon i could find but when i go to boot it says [PCI configuration begin] and just stops but when i boot using the usb drive it boots into lion fine. besides it doesn't activate my DSDT. I tried using iopcifamily.kext from 10.6.7 but still nothing. blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using iopcifamily.kext from 10.6.7 but still nothing. blah for proper boot on older machines you need to boot with this flag "npci=0x2000", also letting you see what behind the verbose. for dsdt loading you can write an entry in com.apple.boot.plist for for dsdt location, although it supposed to load by itself when on Root of partition or Extra dir. note that if you can boot from usb but not from hard drive then you are doing something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird cause i think my dsdt is causing the problems but its the same one i was using from snow leopard, is there anything i need to edit? but maybe you can shed some light, my specs are motherboard:msi p55 cd53 cpu=i5 750 2.6 ATI xfx radeon 4850 video card. 250gb sata drives.
