TheNavigator Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Try to search for showing hidden and system files. That worked for me. (I searched for it instead) Write that in terminal: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE Then: killall Finder And it will work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNavigator Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The dmg isn't editable. You'll need to restore it to a USB which is at least 8 GB, and then edit it through there. That's what I'm doing now. I had to buy a new 8 GB thumbdrive today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHacker Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 can it be more than 8 gb? does this mean ill have to boot with usb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNavigator Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 First, making a new topics won't help. Please delete the one you've just made. Second, which is at least 8 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 This is very confusing - you posted 2 topics on basically the same issue, and brought up the issue in the other one! I deleted one of the copies. Please do not do that in the future. Your issue has absolutely nothing to do with "ACPI buttons" or whatever. Boot with npci=0x2000 and see what happens. BTW, whenever you use a distro you will run into issues like this. Install Snow Leopard with the OSx86 ModCD (see the guide in my signature) and install retail Lion from there. My 2¢. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 That's only 2 people. Only 11 have voted overall. I've installed it on 4 different builds without a hitch. No install solution is going to be perfect; I believe that the ModCD is currently the best Snow Leopard option available. Oh, and by the way those 2 never posted in my thread for help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ModCD Lion is already released but it's not free? and install retail Lion from there. My 2¢. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 No, I'm working on the Lion ModCD. I'm justing working on some of the patching scripts...a little difficult to figure out. If any Perl or shell scripters are around I could use the help. Basically I'm adding graphics auto detection as well as some extra enablers/drivers that will also be auto detected. And updating Chameleon since the current version cannot boot Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Did it still stop at [PCI Configuration Begin]? No progress? Try npci=0x3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Close, but... You're defining two kernels. Stick with the modbin_kernel or mach_kernel, not both. The rest is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
