wizardlee Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My x86 Lion has a strange issue. Every time I want to reboot, I choose "Restart..." from top left menu. When rebooting, the computer is trying to load boot menu, then: 1) sometimes keyboard freeze, but the timer is still counting. 2) sometimes, it reports: disk error, press any key to reboot. But keyboard is freeze. To reboot, I have to press the hardware reset button. Then everything is ok. But if I restart from Windows, the computer restart without issue. Thanks very much if any reply. My computer: i3 530, Gigabyte H55M-D2H, HD 4850, WinXpSp3 + Lion. Network+Audio+Video works well in Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To fix it you must use a patched AppleRTC.kext in combination with Elliotforcelegacy.kext. Both in /System/Library/Extensions. Also make sure to use a not so old bootloader, best the latest chameleon , this cures also the facetime errors and other Lion issues. OR mod your DSDT , but that's only for experts. The two kexts above will also help. You can grab all the files from my Lion Guide, see signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
