Hello InsanelyMac-Users :-)
Im a newbie here and I have some questions if somebody can help me.

My system specs are:
Mainboard: P8P67 Rev 3.1
CPU: Intel 2500K
Grapics: EVGA NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560Ti
RAM: 8GB 1600 Kingston

I used the iATKOS L2 image to install lion 10.7.2.
My problem is now, that I cannot boot lion after install.
I tried i boot and now Chimera 1.80.
I also tried some boot commands like -x -f -F -v

Here are some screens where my pc is stuck:







I would highly appreciate help from you guys.
Thanks in advance!

hi

how are u try to boot ?

from hd ?

have u disable in bios intel hd 3000 ?

use the dvd to boot, and select the hd to boot

if u don't use dsdt must use nullcpupowermanagement

if u use dsdt must patch appleintelcpupowermanagement

good hack

[Mastr]

Thanks for your response!

Im trying to boot from hd yes.
I tried to boot with an usb stick with chimera 1.80 on it.

Im not sure if intel hd 3000 is disabled or not, I will try to change if this can help.

Until now I dont have dsdt. How can I use nullcpupowermanagment?

[artur-pt]

hello

nullcpupowermanagement is a kext

intall it with kext wizard or other kext utility

in s/l/e

in bios search for discrete graphics or graphics on board
and disable

good hack

[Mastr]

Thank you again.
I installed the kext but I couldnt find the intel 3000 option in the bios.
Maybe I dont have the option or its called not the same? My mainboard is relatively new.
And maybe can you suggest me the best bootloader? I dont know if chimera works best.

hi

the problem i think is not the boot loader

try to boot

-v GraphicsEnabler=No EHCI Acquire Fix=Yes

good hack

[Mastr]

Thanks again, but the boot always stucks at the same line:


I think its maybe a problem with my 560Ti?

you may need a newer version of NVEnabler.kext installed.

hi

remove the nvenabler.kext and what version of fakesmc are u using, is from the distro ? several plugins giving error.


good hack

[Mastr]

Thank you all for your support.
I tried a new NVEnabler.kext, but no difference.
I tried to boot with changed bios options as C.Frio explained, but there came another errors.
Now I will try without NVEnabler.kext and Im using fakesmc from the iATKOS L2.
Seems its much harder than I thought.

EDIT:

Thank you very much artur-pt!!
Removing the NVEnabler.kext allowed me to boot Lion without any commands.
Now I'm running Lion in 1024x768 without audio and video.
And the mouse is blinking the whole time.
The only thing I have to do now is installing drivers right?
