Hi there,

 

I recently followed the instructions for the USB method Lion tutorial, and it was for the most part a success.

 

I had a working Lion system, apart fom some small issues with audio where I would hear faint feedback at high levels. I read somewhere else that installing an older version of VoodooHDA would fix the problem, so I went ahead and installed it.

 

Unfortunately, upon verbose booting, I was greeted with an unfamiliar error message, one which no amount of google and forum searching seems to help with.

And from there it hangs indefinitely. As I've said this completely baffles me, as prior to the kext installation the system worked just fine. I've tried deleting the kext in MacDrive in Windows, and even though the kext is gone from S/L/E, the same error message occurs.

 

I've tried booting with -x, -f, PCIRootUID=1, and several other boot flags, none of which seem to have any effect.

 

I've been using Hackintosh for nearly two years now so I generally know what I'm doing, though this message really seemed to stump me. I'd really rather not start from square 1 (wipe the drive, install SL, update to 10.7.2, download Lion, install Lion to USB stick, and install), as I'm sure that there is a way to fix this, I just can't figure out what it is.

 

If one of you could provide some insight, I'd be eternally grateful.

 

Thanks!

 

tl;dr VoodooHDA.kext caused Lion to become unbootable. Tried bootflags and deleting the kext, no result.

Did you remove AppleHDA.kext first? They cannot exist together.

 

You should be able to boot into single user mode -s which gives you a text gui.

 

When it gets to the command line type:

mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions

 

Next, if you are going to remove AppleHDA.kext, then type this:

mv AppleHDA.kext AppleHDA.kext.bak

 

But if you are going to remove VoodooHDA.kext, then type this:

mv VoodooHDA.kext VoodooHDA.kext.bak

 

Now reboot the computer using -v -f

Use the mv to bak method until you are sure you don't need the kext. Once it boots and works with the .bak then you can remove it.

 

oh, yeah. you need to remove the .mkext files to get things going.

 

boot into single user by typing -s at the chameleon prompt.

 

type /sbin/mount -uw / at the prompt.

 

Type rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches

 

Type rm -rf /Extra/ *.mkext

 

Type reboot.

 

cross fingers, should work.
