Strange system halt behavior

[Effendi]

Hey there,

 

my Lion GM installation behaves very strangely. Some kext's I install which either work flawlessly for other users here in the forum or worked perfect with 10.6.8, for instance for my network, stop Lion from booting. Instead of a KP, which would be expected, I only get to the fsck check and then the system simply stops booting. However, this does not happen with every kext but only with some, for instance I managed to replace two GPU kexts with the ones from netkas or make my ALC888 chipset work by replacing one kext with some binpatched version from 10.6.8, but whatever network kext I install, be it into /E/E or /S/L/E, stops the system. I have no idea at all how to debug this issue.

 

I installed Lion GM using a USB stick (melkorts method). Details about my configuration can be viewed in my signature. I am using my 10.6.8 DSDT.aml which was properly created using the DSDT-creator and worked for 10.6.8 without issues. As a bootloader, Chameleon RC5 rev. 1000+ is used.

 

Does anyone have an idea what I might be making wrong here?

 

P.S.: I use Kext Wizard to install new kexts, repair permissions with Kext Wizard & Disk Utility and in case a a halt remove the new/modified kext using my USB dongle install > Terminal.

 

P.P.S.: What works is to use the USB-Ethernet dongle from my Macbook Air as a temporary solution. Finally: online!
