rlf Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Does it hang during booting? What is the error when you run in verbose mode (-v)? Does it boot up and some components don't work? Which ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZØØT Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 What, exactly is 'everything'? If you haven't read a guide already, then, what were you trying? Where was your point of reference to draw from. Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb8 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 followed this guide originally http://tonymacx86.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/get-ready-for-os-x-lion-update-to-1068.html but it hangs at boot. tried a few others from around the web but cant find them now, and tried various methods posted in the comments of that ^ guide! here is a picture of what happens when i boot now! notice the artifacts near the top! maybe something about the graphics?! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/201203230241.jpg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It looks like a conflict of kexts in that picture - multiple versions of the same kexts. In the guide you reference, the method by Rich B right near the bottom makes the most sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlf Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It is a utility to quickly create a DSDT.aml file and to add patches. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/DSDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb8 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 so what could be going wrong then?! i have no idea.. iv tried loads of methods, but other people on the internet have reported the same laptop even running lion! and the same hardware being compatible!
