Hi. I followed the instructions on using a USB Lion installer. Everything went fine, even the installation of Lion went fine. But whenever I get to the first boot, it's either I see a gray screen, or a lighter gray screen with a mouse pointer. I waited for minutes but nothing happens. I have also tried using -v and -x but still nothing.

 

Here are my specs:

Asrock z68 pro3

2 x 2gb gskill ddr3 1600

intel core i5-2500k

amd radeon 6950

audigy 2

boot with your usb plugged in , when usb drive boots choose the lion installation hdd and -x -v flags, once booted fix permissions and install rsdeon kexts.
