Install OS X 10.6.7 or Lion on HP DV7t Quad Sandy Bridge HM65

[sthomp001]

I have a HP DV7t Quad LM726AV (customized DV7-6195us) which I bought from HP. I have previously installed OS X 10.6.7 successfully on my HP DV8t-1000 using Mammoth's method. I have tried installing OS X 10.6.8 on the DV7t using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-Legacy 2.7.2, Bridge Helper and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.8 with no success. I installed SL 10.6.3 with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-Legacy. Can't boot from the HDD, but can from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-Legacy disk. The only problem is that most of the devices are not being recognized. The ATI 6770 is not recognized. The touchpad and ethernet are also not recognized. USB works on right side, but not left. When I update to 10.6.7 I lose USB altogether. I've tried different kexts with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to no avail. I was hoping you could set me in the right direction. Should I just go straight to Lion or do I have to have 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 installed first (I'm still on 10.6.3). I'm pretty sure the ATI 6770 is causing most of my problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't know if you are still struggling, but I got 10.6.8 combo update to install with intel hd graphics and some other kexts. IF you are still struggling, I have a DSDT that might help you. That way you can upgrade to Lion from there if that is still your goal.
