I have a challenge, to install Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on HP Pavilion dv7.

I have installed successfully 10.6.3. Later upgraded to 10.6.8, but after this upgrade I have lost High Speed USB. I don't know how to fix it, actually haven't spent time to figure out how to fix it.

But I have a new challenge now.

Have you already installed Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on HP Pavilion dv7? Let me know about your success.

Some updates below:

Installation procedure

I'm using myHack.app to create usb boot disk for installation.

• Follow guide from sojugarden.com how to create USB installation thumb by using myHack.app.
  
• Set from bios to require password on boot (otherwise it might fail to boot from thumb drive and later mac)
  
• Add patched dsdt.aml into Extra folder on thumb drive
  
• Boot from thumb drive
  
• Install Mac OS X Lion

Post Installation procedure

• Mount your Lion drive to some another mac and find /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app
  
• Click on Setup Assistant.app and Show Package Content and open file Setup Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist
  
• Remove these lines: <string>DeviceSection</string><string>KeyboardTypeSection</string>
  
• Use myHack.app “Install Chameleon + Extra” to make your new installation bootable
  
• Boot your laptop from HD
  
• Setup your account (with password, otherwise you couldn't use sudo commands)
  
• Add extra extensions
  
• Reboot
  
• Enjoy
