MacKonsti Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thank you, I am planning to upgrade once 10.7.2 is out so I look forward to using your tool! Does it work with the supposedly-released 10.7.1 in Mac AppStore, too? Or just the original 10.7.0 release? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oswaldini Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 It works with every Lion version. Only MBR support is for 10.7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniHack Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It works with every Lion version. Only MBR support is for 10.7.0 Thanks for this App. Annoyingly though I am getting the message that Lion cannot be installed on this computer. I had used the app to make the image on a partition of the disk I intended to then install to. I.e. I had a two partition disk, 10.6.8 on 1st partition, the image on the second partition and on re-starting from the install image I got the message. The thing is though I know for a fact that Lion can be installed to my system as I already have Lion installed on a separate (different) hard drive on the same PC. All best and thanks for your help. EDIT: Following the comment on SMBIOS (see below) all worked as advertised. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oswaldini Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Annoyingly though I am getting the message that Lion cannot be installed on this computer. Your problem is incorrect SMBIOS ! Use Chameleon Wizard and apply one of prepared smbios, next reboot computer and try again. PS: MBR option has also taken off the board-id check.

tdtran1025 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 How is it possible? Doesn't it require FakeSMC to get past the initial boot screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oswaldini Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 tdtran1025, it's only no-moded clean Mac OS X Lion ! You need bootcd or bootusb with kext and chamleon to use prepared dvd/hdd by LIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oswaldini Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 zoliky and cartuxo - you don't have Lion app from Mac App Store but only InstallESD.dmg. Do this: 1) Create a folder "Install Mac OS X Lion" in /Applications. 2) Add the Contents/SharedSupport folders in it. 3) Add the InstallESD.dmg file in the SharedSupport folder. 4) Now add .app at the end of Install Mac OS X Lion folder. There should be a Forbidden sign on it, but it does not matter. 5) Launch LIM and it should detect the app automatically PS: Update in first post.

oswaldini Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Is the Image Maker compatible with Mountain Lion? Thanks! Yes it is but only HDD/USB mode because ML is too large to put it on a DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmen107 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi, can you update to support MBR in Mountain Lion 10.8.2? or just replace OSInstall and OSInstall.mpkg in scripts resources? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
