Doesn't seem to be a good solution for me, each time I install mac, I will have to do this that way....

[Mohamed Khairy]

this will be the first and last time  to do that !!

[Madamido]

Partitioned the hole hard drive with Master Boot Record at 1 partition only formatted with Mac OS X Journaled and installed to it.

After installation completed, booted into USB and choosed the drive I installed to with "-x -v" and the exact same problem happens!
Seems like I formatted it for nothing

strange
is installation is competed successfully ?

the problem of still waiting for root
means that mac cant read the partion contain  mac
means that the kext for sata controller not loaded  or not compatible
but  our sata controller  works defaultly on achi  mode on mac
means that sata kext not loaded or corruptted !!
------------------------------------------------------------
some tries to do !!
1- load all kexts using this flag
UseKernelCache=No -f -v
respect captial and small

2- open installer  and open from it  terminal and there is import option you can browse mac partion go to system / library / extensions
and check for appleahciport.kext  ioahcifamily.kext

3- may be the lion  you downloaded is corrupted !!

this is my thoughts now about your problem

do try if fail go for next try

[Madamido]

Tried "UseKernelCache=No -f -v" with same problem
Both kexts are there and installed

filename: h-ml1073.dmg

[Mohamed Khairy]

[Madamido]

I checked the one I downloaded with HashTab

edit: I will use a VMware image to prepare the USB again and will give it another try as I can't install iAtkos now on the laptop

[Mohamed Khairy]

Hi, I have successfully installed Lion on my Dell Inspiron N5110, and everything works great, except keyboard. No matter what i do, i can't get vertical line. I have added newest kext, and selected ISO European, but still not working. Can somebody help me with this problem? Thanks

[Madamido]

Prepared the usb from 10.6.5 vmware image and I got the same problem
Used "UseKernelCache=No -f -v" and got the same problem
The kexts you mentioned are in the mac partition as I checked with the import of terminal
And the md5 matches so I don't know what is the problem

So far I have formatted the whole hard disk and downloaded like 7 gegas for nothing, no result at all and as well as not being able to use iAtkos anymore as I can't revert to bios A07 and it doesn't work with A09

Hello Mr Khairy, i thank you so much for your Guide, So all works for me except some stuffs like Wifi cuz

i have the heated BCM4313 with a strange PID & VID, something like 14e4-4727 and HDMI.

Anyway, i have some remarks :

1-  About the backlight, the first thing it becomes much powerful after wake (same remark that Lucky

luck), the Pc believes it is on battery, the second thing, when you are on AC  and u do nothing, the

screen darkens quickly after 1 or 2 minutes, but this option is only when Pc is on Battery.

2- Now my Pc is on AC adapter (i removed the battery), i want to update software & it displayed to me a

message like what my Pc isn't on AC !! (see the attachment)

Any
