Hi all, first of all, sorry about my english, and my "noobness" hehe. Now to the business: I was able to get almost fully working Lion 10.7 on mi PC

My System is:

 

ECS NF650Slit-A

Core 2 Duo E6750

Seagate SATA HDD 120 GB

XFX Nvidia 8600 GT 256MB

SATA Lite-on DVD-RW

IDE Lite-ON DVD-RW

USB-Slim LG DVD-RW (powered only by USB)

Realtek RTL8187_Wireless USB

 

My HDD has 3 partitions:

1st. Snow Leopard

2nd Lion

3th Lion Install partition

 

I got:

Processor is well recognized

Videocard is ok fully 3D acceleration (post installed NvInject and new nvidia drivers)

USB's ok on 2.0

Iphone Working

RTL8187 USB Wireless (post install)

Canon IP1300 printer ok, (Lion Autoinstalled)

USB Mouse and Keyboard ok by default

USB hot plug and play ok

built-in Nforce Ethernet ok (post install NforceLAN).

SATA nor IDE DVD Drives are working yet. Sata Is recognized but useless

USBDVD is OK read-write

APP Store Working

 

How do I get this?:

 

First installed SnowLeopard using iAtkos S3 setting off in BIOS FDC controller, the rest by default,

Iatkos on SATA DVD booted but got stuck after NforceATA loading "waiting for Root device",same using IDE Drive,

Booting from USB DVD, got "EBIOS read error" and won't finishing to boot. What I made is booting from SATA DVD and when it says "waiting for boot device", ejected the disc, and hot plugged the USB DVD and the loading screen continued to the end,then succesfully loaded Install screen, set 3 partitions on HDD using GUID, and personalized the installation by selecting only Chameleon RC5 Bootloader, Nvinject, EFI-String DVI-DVI, NforceLAN, VodooAudio, RTL8187L. The install took about 15-19 mins, and automatically rebooted into SnowLeopard, then I downloaded and installed 10.6.8 ComboUpdate from Apple, and BEFORE reboot, installed [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] selecting only EasyDSDT, ( I made this at the 2d try, 'cause on the 1st try, after the ComboUpdate Install and reboot, the USB's stopped to work).

 

After that I reinstalled NforceLAN NforceATA Nvinect kexts and the Nvidia new drivers. and everything was working ok, the only Issue was that App Store couldn't download any app, it showed "Your device could not be verified or someting", This was caused because de Ethernet was set as "en1" instead "en0", I only deleted "NetworkInterfases.plist" and "Preferences.plist" at Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. After that App Store worked like a charm.

 

then With the Lion Retail DVD, Used Tonysmac's Xmove method, using the remain 2 partitions ,1 for the Installer, and the other for the Lion itself, I installed Lion on a blank partition because on the 1st try, the install finished flawlessly but at the reboot, it got stuck at the Apple Logo bootscreen (in verbose i saw that it get stuck on loading NforceATA), the only way I found was installing Lion on an empty partition. Both boot very fine, Snow and Lion, after that the only was install the remain kexts and nvidia driver, the same with SnowL.

 

My Lion and SnowL are working almost full, the remain are both DVD internal Drives SATA and IDE, still not working, I'm on the research to get them fully working....

 

Regards all! any help I can Give and receive, will be appreciated ;)
