Hello

 

I tried installing OS X Lion a few weeks ago.

And sadly, I failed.

I did it with tonymac's method,

and I got it installed, but when I tried to boot from the hard drive, it displayed

"DSMOS has arrived".

And it didn't boot.

I have a SL/Win7 dual boot in seperate HDDs (GUID annd MBR)

And I wanna upgrade from my SL to Lion.

I need to know what I need to do.

Based on some research, I may need to delete SleepEnabler or GraphicsEnabler or both.

But not a lot of ppl use my mobo (ECS X58B-A2) and it sucks to research.

I didn't have OS X on my mind when I was buying the computer, so anyway, yeah.

Can I get some help?

My full specs are:

 

ECS X58B-A2 Motherboard

Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.66GHz CPU

nVidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB

4GB DDR3 RAM

1TB Seagate HDD (MBR with 2 partitions, one running Win7)

300GB Seagate HDD (GUID with one partition, running Mac OS 10.6.8 installed with iAtkos S3V2)

 

and that's about it.

If you need any more info please leave a reply and i will try to provide the info.

Thanks a lot :unsure:

*install all ur Os on one hdd 'better and faster'

 

*i would recommend to have all the 3 os and not just windows and Lion ,cuz lion is currently not very stable on hackintoshs ,so to have SL as a backup system is better.

 

*install SL then windows then Lion ,use the usb method as most of times it gives better results ,dont use sleepenabler till u have ur pc stable and perfectly running as it gives KP most of times also nvidia sometimes graphicsenabler=no make it work same as the new highend vga from ATI/NVIDIA so give it atry anyway.

 

*its better if u use the retail versions of the Mac ,this way u know what is what and u dont get much of modified sys files.
