organik Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 First, thanks to the community for putting out this great info! But...I've got a problem. Getting "can't find mach_kernel" when I try to boot from USB. Followed all the steps to a T, then did the whole thing again in case I missed something...then one more time. Still the mach_kernel error. Any ideas?

magnifico Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 i have X58A-UD7 with i7. Tried to install Lion DP4from USB, but it stops at boot and stalls on.... 1) when i use Chameleon from this topic after it generates P&C states, display says that "not Connected" and reboot 2) when i use Chameleon from Kext.com ( X58UD7 10.6.7 full 64bit Lion by Jaco) "PCI configuration begin ]" < - this is what i see. Probably there is another [ before PCI. I boot my Snow with TonyMac's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and it works very good. Any ideas ? Kari The UD7 has two Lan, tries to qualify them all and two, I had also this problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/256729-lion-installation-via-usb-stick-using-chameleon/page/10/#findComment-1695204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

organik Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 mac_kernel in root and 32 bit install Thanks, install went fine - I don't have sound though, and the boot loader doesn't seem to be installing where it should, I'm still getting the old boot loader than I used with Snow Leopard, forcing me to still boot via USB stick. Motherboard is GA-ep45-up3p. Help is VERY much appreciated.

jacquesmk2 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 mac_kernel in root and 32 bit install Hi Maldon. First of all, thanks for your hard job and spending so much times for the hackintosh community... Well, althought I reached the installation screen using previous installers, I could not even see it with this new one... Installation stops at : PCI configuration Motherboard is Asus Rampage III gene. Could it be that lion can't be installed on this board ?

organik Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 So, after much toiling the correct bootloader is working, also audio is working (yes "search" is your friend). Should have tried a little harder before asking... I do have one remaining issue, which is I'm stuck at 1024x768. Motherboard is GA45-UD3P, graphics card is GeForce 9800 GTX+. Checked out the thread on graphics cards and lion, but nobody has mentioned mine.

Rigorozco Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I have completed most of the steps successfully, everything loads but then it hangs at a line that says: bootcachecontrol: unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist If someone knows how to fix this I would appreciate any help. Also I checked the folder and the file it talks about isn't there. Thanks.

hackedamac Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Massive thanks to Maldon for this guide. I'm running DP4 on a G41M-ES2L board. Everything working smoothly.

RN95 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 My HDD is MBR, not GPT. 3 partition, 2 NTFS, 1 HFS+ (active) You can't install into an MBR Partition. It has to be GUID .
