Mettiu Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 After updating to 10.7.2, I am not able anymore to boot my installation since it hangs as it reaches "PCI Configuration Begin". In com.apple.Boot.plist, I have both the flag npci=0x2000 and GraphicEnabler=Yes. Does anybody know how can I solve this issue? Thanks in advice for the help!

Mettiu Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 I would like to try to restore old AppleACPIPlatform and IOPCIFamily from Lion 10.7.. can anybody pass them to me? EDIT: I have tried the ones in 10.6.8 Combo Update's package, which should be the same as 10.7, but I get the same error. I have tried also the one in 10.6.7, which let me pass on, yet the system then hangs at DSMOS has arrived macx_swapon SUCCESS after a LONG wait, I get Resetting IOCatalogue. But then, even waiting one hour, nothing happens. I tried many other solutions, changing DSDT, installing in E/E EvilAppleACPIPlatform and EvilIOPCIFamily, but nothing seems able to make my system boot... right now I really have no idea how can I solve this problem...

Mettiu Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks but it didn't help... I started thinking there should be something involving the bootloader too, so I installed in my Lion hdd the last Chimera bootloader. And yes, now the system is not stuck anymore at the PCI Configuration Begin point. Yet, I got a Kernel panic when it tries to load NullCPUPowerManagement... removing it results in a different KP. EDIT: Here I attach the verbose report of the Kernel Panic I got once I remove NullCPUPowerManagement.kext from Extra. There I have only 3 kexts: ElliottForceLegacyRTC FakeSMC and JMicronATA.

Mettiu Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 The situation has changed again, though I am not yet able to boot the system. Here what I did: (from a SL installation on another HDD) Restored all the vanilla 10.7.2 kexts in S/L/E Upgraded motherboard's BIOS to F11 Installed the corresponding DSDT from tonymacx86 database Used Chameleon Wizard to rebuild SMBios Used Chameleon Wizard to update to last Chameleon release Used Chameleon Wizard to build the org.chameleon.Boot.plist, adding the npci=0x2000 flag Then I try to boot -v -f, and I have a KP due to IOhidfamily ..

Mettiu Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Well guys, I am writing from a perfectly functional 10.7.2 installation now. At the end, I wiped out my SSD with Lion (my Home is in another disk, so it was not a big deal) and freshly installed again using the xMove/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/Chimera method, then combo-update to 10.7.2 and everything simply worked fine!
