I'm using the 64MB version, everything is smooth so you could try that version. What ID is your HD3000? 0x0116? If so, use the EFI String provided in the boot.plist or the boot.plist all together(Full Definition one) from the V1.1 Installer. It has dual link patch and several other fixes for graphic artifacts.

Anybody having issues with freezing, try follow ^ advice, I am going to try myself tomorrow and see if the EFI string helps me on my non-HD...

Done that, sadly didn't fix my issue.
I just checked the org.chameleon.Boot.plist again, it is set to 1600x900x32.

The screen issues are of course going on my nerves, but the worst problem is that the machine is suddenly hanging for 10-60 seconds (sometimes completely so I got to restart). The only thing I can do is move the cursor, the ls is not responding to clicks or keyboard input.

Would be great it you could help me.

Best Wishes

UPDATE:
In hope of having a more stable system with newer BIOS, i flashed the A17 Bios and changed to the A17 DSDT.

Sadly - same problems.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Hiya, I can report that I have the same irritating issue with my L502x, 6GB ram (4GB + 2GB), A06 BIOS, using kexts from here + ssdt's, and wen1's DSDT, screen size 1366x768.
It *ALWAYS* freezes every time I try to open finder for approx 40 seconds, and now and then just randomly.
EDIT: sometimes it freezes completely and I need to power off my laptop, then start it up again. really f**king pain in the ass, especially when you're trying to install something... >_>
When I don't have the Intel HD 3000 (IntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext) installed, the screen doesn't freeze at all, and everything runs smoothly - although, things like launchpad which need a proper gfx driver installed don't work, and flicker...
Anybody have a fix for the constant freezing?

Hiya DoiX, thanks for your help with rBoot LE + iATKOS L2.
I have a small problem - whenever I run your OS X Lion installer, I get a kernel panic after I reboot, and I end up having to install OS X again.
Is there anything I have to do after running your installer? I've tried using kext utility after using the installer, but still no-dice.
Also, what boot-loader do you recommend for a L502X laptop that's triple-booting/dual-booting?
Thanks for the help in advance...

You can boot with rboot on usb. I repeat, the black screen is related to smbios.plist, you can use macdrive on windows to copy/replace the one from /Extra/ with a macbookpro 8,1 version.

I don't actually get a black screen - it just freezes with the text there, and nothing happens.
Okay, I'll try your advice, and I shall post back soon.

EDIT: Okay, that {censored}ed it up COMPLETELY. Now I have a "System uptime in nanoseconds: xxxxxx" message.
smbios.plist screwed it over.

1.

2. Did you try rBoot? I stated in the tutorial on page 6 that without a proper smbios.plist file you will get stuck at some verbose related lines or a black/blue/coulour palette screen.

I don't have any discs to use rBoot with, and as far as I know, I can't use USB's to launch rBoot, any ideas? It would be awesome if I could copy the files to a USB stick.
I'm going to try :

/sbin/mount -uw
mkdir ~/bkupgfx
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv -R NVD*.kext ~/bkupgfx

EDIT: I added -s flag... and once it asks for my input, the keyboard doesn't f**king work.
Is iATKOS L2 really f**ked up, or is it just because I am not using rBoot LE? dayum, pain in the @$$
