So i've successfully installed Lion 10.7 on my Dell Inspiron 1525 intel core 2 duo t5450 1.66ghz and 2gb ram using this tutorial.https://sites.google.com/site/nozyczek/home/hackintosh/how-to-install-lion-10-7-0-on-dell-inspiron-1525

 

I've installed it but when rebooting using the USB i used i get this:

I've tried to get into the /System/Library/coreservices/contents/info.plist but it doesn't exist and a keyboard isn't an option.

Any advice?

There is no need for opening a new topic for this problem.

Yeah it is, if I press command + q it asks me if I want to quit.

Also, is the solution you posted supposed to be done in the disk utility in the installation screen? IF so, if says Sudo and cp are not commands

No, you need to open up terminal when booting from the installation media. 

Then use the commands on the partition you have OS X installed on.

 

/Your Partition

 

Replace it with disk0s1 for example. Type diskutil list to identify your osx partition.

 

Edit: Example from results.

So when I boot up, I should select terminal from the toolbar at the top?

The commands such as cp aren't recognized though :/

 

 

 

Load the setup from USB.

 

Then from the dropdown menu choose terminal. 

 

All you need to do is: 

cd /Volumes/Your Partition/var/db
touch .AppleSetupDone
resetpassword

Your Partition is the partition OS X is installed on. In my example it would be: 

cd /Volumes/Yosemite/var/db
touch .AppleSetupDone
resetpassword

Reboot, log in as root, with the created password, and create a new user account.

It works for me with Mavericks and Yosemite. Haven't tried it on anything earlier.

 

You only need this at the setup stage. Once the system is up and running the PS/2 kexts will get cached and you won't get asked this again unless you boot into the Recovery partition.

Does/did this really work? In snow leo it was -s, ./applesetupdone etc. Just wondering.

What you said worked! however, when i restart, i get a screen which asks me for a username and password, what's my username? If i make one up and use the password created earlier, it remains on that little turning thing
