asterix86 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi, i'm planning to install Mac OS X Lion on a Intel Core Quad ICH10 PC with Asus P5Q (MB) and ATI 4870 HD graphics. I'm now running Mac OS X Snow Leopard fine installed using retail version with MyHack Installer and Windows 7. What guide I should follow for an easy install? Any tip? N.B. I've already modded the bios firmware to run OS X, AHCI mode enabled, Sata hard drive, IDE DVD drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111L) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okatodal Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi, i used Kakewalk 4 to make a bootable USB Stick. (pdf-Guide inside) Installation was sucsessfull. The postinstall of Chamaeleon via Kakewalk give me a kernel panic. So i installed Chimera. Now i can boot without usb stick. Sound works after installing the old AlC1200 kext. Only Network does´nt work. I use a Netgear G311. Now I will close for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kome Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I guess P5Q is very much similar to my P5Q Pro. My Hackple is very much like yours (refer to my signature). I followed this post and got my P5Q Pro running Lion now. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=261528 It is kinda fully functional, sounds, network, Graphics accelerator (Starcraft II runs smoothly with everything set to high or extra) etc. Only thing I need to upgrade on the hardware side is to get a SATA DVD Rom i.e Pioneer DVR 219 to replace my IDE DVR211, as the Marvell IDE (or the APPLEVIAATA Kext) is no longer working under LION (I found my old 211 got better built quality and noise isolation than a 7-year-later replacement model), maybe there are work-arounds, I am just too lazy. Played around for 2 days. Running SL and Lion in parallel, I guess I will continue to stick to SL until: 1. the sound ALC1200 got a fully working Kexts under Lion, i.e. optical out working. (currently it is running on VoodooHDA, only green jack is working.) 2. tested that it can do 10.7.x updates as MACs do thru Software Update 3. Tested that Superduper can do complete backup for the whole Lion system and just need to re-install Chamelon manually 4. Safari can download file directly to my Fat32 formated "MAC Data" HDD (that I am sharing with my Win 7 system). Currently it can only save to a GUID and (even NFTS with Paragon NTFS loaded) formatted location, and report "cant access" when finish downloading. Interestingly Firefox does not have this issue.
