I have made a fresh Lion installation. While installing mouse and keyboard works fine. When installed, reboot and "Before begin" screen appear saying: no mouse connected, and while, mouse works well....

 

I have a Snow Leopard partition working well where from I installed (using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]) IOUSBFamilyRollback, PS2 drivers(my keyboard is ps2), my dsdt.aml (generated by DSDT-Auto-Patcher), added to my com.apple.Boot.plist USBBusFix = Yes... to Lion Partition. Still same. I don't know where is the problem.

 

My PC specs:

ASUS P5K SE

Intel Q6600

ATI Radeon HD6870

 

Could someone help me?

I have chameleon version Chameleon_2.0_RC5_r1083.pkg.zip ( 1.58MB ) installed from here:

I will update chameleon to last version in this post:

Thanks so much!

what math of of installation you are using? i have same board, and have no issues at all with this board on lion!

even usb is fixed from my SL installation problems...

 

I made a USB Bootable (restored "Mac OS X Base System" and copied Packages folder from "Mac OS X Install ESD").

Boot from USB and I installed on another HD (full partition for Mac OS, GUID table partition, EFI Boot). Everything works ok, 1920x1080 res by default, sound, I can move mouse and when pressing keys on keyboard I can listen a sound by Mac (when you press keys on windows that won't capture them) but the fuc**** "Before begin" windows still saying: please connect mouse.

 

Maybe I could fix it upgrading from SL. Do you have upgraded from SL?

 

Thanks!

i've done both with no problem whatsoever, mind sharing your dsdt?

though i don't use ps2k and it's related kext, if you give me your dsdt i will make out of it a copy of mine (much much slimmer DSDT, with the help of master chief thread)

and i will attach currant Extra folder. (S/L/E stays vanilla, except LAN)

I will attach my DSDT file as soon I arrive home!

 

 

Thanks you!

are you using stock BIOS? only IDE mode? (need to replace ioatafamily?)

 

I have a modded BIOS: v1402 and AHCI enabled(Slic 2.1 too, Windows 7 automatically activation). Currently I don't use IDE devices so I have IDE desactivated on BIOS (less boot time, because it doesn't need to check for devices). I didn't need to replace any kext about SATA to get my SL partition working 100% ok!

Thanks again for your time

 

EDIT: I generated the dsdt.aml with DSDT Auto-Patcher with existing dsdt.aml in my Extra folder. I didn't notice that.

(In post says: "If you are using the Mac OS version of DSDT Auto-Patcher, do NOT use a DSDT replacement in Chameleon when you run the app, or it will be used as base for patching instead of the original one from BIOS. If you have a dsdt.aml in / or /Extra (or a specified file for DSDT key in org.chameleon.Boot.plist), remove it and reboot before running the Auto-Patcher.").

I followed now that instructions and here is new dsdt.aml.

i asked because something else.. ok i will post later this day other dsdt for you, i just need to add ps2k again and to changed some stuff to your board.. i don;t have time right know but in the mid day i will try helping you

in the mean time, i'm attaching my Extra folder, so you can compeer whats different

and http://iats.googlecode.com/files/AtherosL1Ethernet.zip to S/L/E for LAN.

 

Note as i said earlier i'm not using PS2k and the related kext, and also not using built-in audio, i have RME sound-card for audio...

 

so if you can check without ps2k keyboard (maybe if you can borrow one for testing), it will be helpful, cause as i see your dsdt there should be no problem (though slimmer dsdt = faster boots, they should be almost same in their job)

 

ok, i will post later edited dsdt for you.

Extra.zip

right now i switched to RevoBoot but i still don't know how to use it right (when i remove dsdt i get kp) but i installed with chameleon, doesn't matter version as long as it's lion compatible

and i just returned, i will get working on adding the ps2k to it cause it seems i need to add some thing to get it working, so it will take some time but i will post right when finished :)

Lion's setup assistant won't work unless you connect a USB keyboard... even if the PS/2 keyboard fully works. I had the same issue, the keyboard was working fine (I could actually use Command + Q and some other shortcuts), but Apple is evil enough to make the installer to check for a USB keyboard specifically xD

 

You also can't try to change the root password through single user mode, Apple did something about it, so it won't let you change it (requires some dependency on a service that isn't running at that time), so skipping the assistant is out of question. It seems purely like an anti-hackintosh measure... a small but annoying one.

 

After the setup, the keyboard worked like a charm. So yeah, just borrow a friend's USB keyboard, or buy one.

But It ask me to connect a mouse (that currently is USB), not keyboard. When I installed Snow Leopard without PS2 kexts it asked me to connect a keyboard didn't say anything about mouse.

 

If you make a fresh Lion install and go with mouse USB and keyboard PS2, it asks you to connect mouse instead say: connect keyboard? Hope you understand what Im trying to explain.

 

Anyway tomorrow I will try with USB keyboard!

 

Thanks both!

I've just checked my var/log/install.log where Setup Assistant write his log and says this:

 

Aug 6 09:43:26 localhost Setup Assistant[119]: NumberOfKeyboardHIDDevices 0

Aug 6 09:43:26 localhost Setup Assistant[119]: NumberOfPointingHIDDevices 1

 

Supposing "NumberOfPointingHIDDevices" is mouse, then my Setup Assistant detect one mouse and 0 keyboard.

I will try with usb keyboard and see what happen. Anyway I don't understand if Setup Assistant detect a mouse connected, it asks me to connect one..
