neomatrix125 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've searched around a bit and found a situation similar, but the problem is caused by something else. Someone said to use 16GB USB, I'm using an 80GB SATA Hard drive with Lion Install on that. It has trouble extracting files from Essentials.pkg on the hard drive it is being installed to. I have some pictures here: This is the Installer Log Thanks for anyone who can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Do you changed or modified the OSInstall.mpkg? If yes, you changed it with a wrong version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomatrix125 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yes, I do have a modified version :/ Does anyone have a modified one for the GM Lion?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noam AA Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 in my case all i needed was Correct SMBIOS injection of board id to meet OSInstall.mpkg, which if you open you can see all apple board id, i used Mac-F42088C8 and get pass this message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomatrix125 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 How do I open OSInstall.mpkg up? I've got a Snow Leopard VM that I'm using to set this all up When I tried putting the SMBIOS code in, it does the same thing. When I restored the original OSInstall.mpkg it says that Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Do you have "Extra" folder on the installer drive? You need to edit smbios.plist file in that folder to a correct mac model, then use original OSInstall.mpkg. I'm using this model infos in my smbios.plist: <key>SMbiosversion</key> <string>IM91.88Z.008D.B08.0904271717</string> <key>SMboardproduct</key> <string>Mac-F2218EA9</string> <key>SMfamily</key> <string>iMac</string> <key>SMproductname</key> <string>iMac9,1</string> <key>SMserial</key> <string>WQ9041J70TG</string> (this is not the whole smbios.plist file) Hope this helps. (I installed lion first time with the OSInstall replace method, then second time installed it with correct smbios.plist file.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomatrix125 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hey I just reinstalled my Lion Hard Drive (The one I'm installing from) And I've put all of the kext's and things I had on there before including Chameleon RC5 i think It's 1049. And now I get a KP everytime :/ Not sure what's causing it, there's no kext that's reporting this. So I suppose its a Kernel Difficulty, Anyone know a fix? EDIT:Just tried with HackBoot and It says that Firewire is causing a problem EDIT2: I managed to get it to boot again! But now It says again Mac OS X can't be installed on this Computer -.- Even when using your smbios.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
