The Windows Tweaker Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Helly everyone, Since Lion is out i am trying to install it on my pc. I have a Acer Aspire 594G64MN Notebook running Snow Leopard perfectly (10.6.8) It boots fast and runs very stable. I have downloaded Mac OS X Lion.pkg and installed it. Made the second partition and use Xmove like in many tuturials. Everything went fine, until i tried to boot de second partition(installer). It just won't boot. I've tried many things: - Installed a wide variety of chameleon bootloaders incl. chimera - installed many different kext - tried to install using a USB The problems with booting different, depending on the kext and bootloader - Boot hangs on netkas present,....... - AppleRTC.kext could not be located - PCI Configuration error. I don't understand why it wont boot while Snow Leopard boots perfectly. I hope you guys can help me further. Its really frustrating. Many thanks!

The Windows Tweaker Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I've tried the installation like you recommended. To bad it didn't boot the installer completely. Here are the results: Picture 1 is with chameleon bootloader r1083 with flags: "-v -usekernelcache=yes" Picture 2 is with chimera bootloader with flags:-v usekernelcache=yes: For some reason it is necessery to use the "-usekernelcache=yes" flag. Does anybody knows what this does? I've come a little bit further. Any suggestions to boot further (sorry for my crappy English;) ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/264421-cant-boot-lion-installer-partition/#findComment-1728173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
