Hi all,
I'm registered as an apple developer so I've got access to the beta-- any recommendations when giving this a try?

[martouney]

i have tried the know ways for Lion but it symply reboots bevore Installation screen  you only see the kexts rolling and when chameleon starts it simply reboots

[TH3L4UGH1NGM4N]

Going to need a newer version of cham to come out ot boot the new kernel of course so just give it some time.

[jonisign]

Ah, soon then!

[mosec]

can't be soon enough

[Nanael]

I hope it will be as fast as possible ^^ I need to test it!!!!! ^^

[TH3L4UGH1NGM4N]

@ antaeus If you really need to test it then I suggest you get an actual Mac that won't have a problem booting and installing ML.  There isn't an actual ETA on when the release of chameleon that will boot ML will be dropped.

[Ririholic]

I tried, but Chimera couldn't boot ML. It loads all the kext files and co. and my computer just restarts.

According to oldnapalm an older version of Chameleon will work: http://www.insanelym...dpost&p=1796975 Haven't tried it myself though

[janek202]

I was working on it with my friends. I haven't tested it myself (I don't have ML), but I found a solution to run installation and it was working on my friend's PCs.

You need to edit dmg like it's lion.
Than you have to edit file: /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
And replace 10.8 with 10.7.
Use modified chameleon.
Installation should run fine.
There are not much changes, but Chameleon tries to run ML like it's Snow Leopard instead of Lion.

It should be easy to patch in chameleon.

Edit:
Use Modified Chameleon in later posts. Plist Edition is no longer needed.

janek202 theory was correct ... Now we need implement the solution to the chameleon.

[oswaldini]

We edited

/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and

/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist

Now we are making patch to chameleon.

In SystemVersion.plist you need change 10.8 to 10.7.
