cossack56 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I am trying to install Lion on a Abit IP35 Pro. I have 4 drives-1 Win7, 2 Gentoo Linux, 3 Snow Leop, and trying to install on 4th drive. Followed all instructions to a "T", booted into Installer partition, everything starts to load but stops at "PCI Configuration". I had the same problem after install of 10.6.8 update and replaced 2 kexts to repair. Will I have to replace same kexts to continue install here also? The 2 kexts were AppleACPIPlatform and IOPCIFamily. I am trying to install Lion on a Abit IP35 Pro. I have 4 drives-1 Win7, 2 Gentoo Linux, 3 Snow Leop, and trying to install on 4th drive.

cossack56 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Remove any DSDT, and move the kexts to somewhere else. Thanks, I don't have a DSDT because DSDT Patcher throws errors on my MB so I can't use it. I copied the 2 kexts to the Installer partion and now it gets past that but hangs at BootCache.playlist and then KP's. So I am getting farther.

kup Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Use the original kexts from Lion, add npci=0x2000 to the kernel flags and detach any and all USB hubs or devices other than the mouse/keyboard and the usb pen you're installing from (if you are).

cossack56 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 is a text file ? No, it's a complete boot file w/ the PC EFI bootloader. Just copy and paste into the root portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cossack56 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 i have tried to get my abit ip35 running lion for the past 2 weeks and cannot get passed the pci configuration begin. can you post a how-to or guide on what method you used. thanks I used a separate hard drive in tandem with my Snow Lep install. I used the usb guide with MBR and instead of using a USB key I used my second HD. One thing that is different on my rig is that I Quad Boot using LILO-(Linux Loader) so I must use a MBR install. After following the instructions for the USB-MBR install, I did everything except install Chameleon. I used the PC-EFI boot as I've talked about above. Then I booted using "-v npci=0x2000" as my parameters. That bootloader is the only one that will boot Lion on my rig. I tried for 3 days straight to get it to work, got pissed quit, came back and finally got it to install, then I had problems with video-(NVIDIA GTS-450) and was able to fix that with a EXTRA folder with the nvenabler kext, ElliotForceLegacyRTC kext, FakeSMC kext, and EvOreboot kext. I also use a Intel 1 gig NIC so I had to use the kext for that also. I am not using any DSDT file. I hope that helps you some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomythebest Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If Installation stucks on "PCI Configuration Begin", in bootloader, write "npci=0x3000" and it works (Sorry for bad english, i'm french) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
