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! :D

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.

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.)

Hey :D

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! :D

But now It says again Mac OS X can't be installed on this Computer -.-

Even when using your smbios.plist
