berlaw Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I am trying to install Lion OSX on my Dell E520. Ive had success with installing to a usb but is very slow when I run Lion. I set up the bios the way I want it. Boot with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and select the Base System install. Installation loads I select my language and only see [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]! I then check Disk Utility and only see USB Drives. Ive tried adding Elliotforcelegacy.kext to the extentions on the installer but it still resets the Bios when I run the install. Is any one having this issue and can shed some light on this thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a specific SATA controller extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasguzziler Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 On my system I am having a problem running lion "GM" version that it is resetting the bios on restart every second or third time, It has gotten so annoying that I have stopped using it and am hoping that it will be fixed before the final release is released into the wild. Just wondering if others have had this problem with lion, I have it fully up and running but I just get this problem on restart. It does not do this with snow leopard, maybe it has something to do with the overclock that I had but it is strange that it would do it on one and not the other. My motherboard is about 4 months old and when it resets the time and date are unaffected it is just like it sets the optimal default settings in the bios so I doubt it is the battery. I am running Gigabyte H55m-sv2 Intel Core i3 550 8gb Patriot sector 5 ddr3 1333mhz Saphire Radion HD 5770 Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.
