HarderStyle Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hello everyone,Let me introduce myself,My name is Arno and i come from Belgium,I have some really good experience with Windows and i always can fix my own problems and those from other people regarding their Windows PC.I've always been a fan of OS X but just haven't got the money to buy an Apple computer.Now,to get to the point:I'm trying to install Lion to one of my computers at home,my HP 6720S Compaq laptop.I can't get it to boot into the installer itself... It panics when loading files before the installer itself starts.To let you guys understand my situation i will go over the whole procedure i followed untill now.On one of my other computers i have SL running in Virtualbox.(In my SL VM) I've got the Mac OS X Lion install app and i showed its contents en navigated to the SharedSupport folder to copy the "InstallESD.dmg" image to the desktop.Once i got that i mounted it en enabled the showing of hidden files by excecuting this command in the terminal: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles True next, i mounted the Base System dmg and in disk utility i formatted and partitioned my 8gb usb flash drive to 1 OS X Journaled(extended) partition with the MBR scheme and i restored the Base System to it.Next,i went into the S/Installation folder on the usb drive and i deleted the Packages alias and i pasted the Packages folder from the InstallESD.In the root of the usb drive i pasted the mach_kernel wich i got from the root of the InstallESD and in the root of the usb i also made a folder called "Extra" en i moved the "DSDT.aml" for my laptop into that folder.I also installed these kexts:NullCPUPowerManagement,FakeSMC,ApplePS2Controller and AppleACPIPS2Nub to the S/L/E folder of the usb drive with the help of kextwizard and after that i repaired the permissions and rebuilded the kext cache with kextwizard on the usb drive.Finally i got the Chameleon 2.2 svn r2269 pkg and i installed it to the usb drive.Initialy when i plugged the drive in my laptop and tried to boot from it,there just was this blinking underscore and nothing more that happened.So i burned an I B O O T disk(can't use this on this forum,i know,sorry) and used it to boot from the usb drive with the flags "-v -x" and that resulted in the system rebooting when it's loading files.The last file that i saw was loaded is "sm56kusbaudiofamily". I tried different boot flags like: -v -x GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 arch=i386 and so on,and so on but none of them got me any further.I also disabled all features i don't need in the bios leaving only the cd drive and usb working..things like wifi,bluetooth,network boot,card readers,prevention of data excecution,... i have all disabled it but this didn't help either.Anyone got some ideas?Let me know!Thanks!

styrian Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 You are welcome. But sorry, I can´t give you tips. I dont know the hardware, which is in your device used. You make it easier to give you tips for doing a successful install, if you put your hardware in your signature, like many others here have done it. Have fun.
