Gringo Vermelho Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If it's PS2 you need to place third party PS2 drivers in /Extra/Extensions. OS X has no PS2 support. Use google or the forum search to find them. If it's USB (which normally just works) fiddle with USB settings in your BIOS, and/or try setting USBBusFix y in your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275377-lion-boot/#findComment-1791774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I can't support [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. You must install a boot loader to your flash drive, otherwise it will not be bootable. If you are using TonyMac products then go to the TonyMac forums.

dhilan Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 so how do you put lion on a disc or usb? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275377-lion-boot/#findComment-1792466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 You use Apple Disk Utility to restore the hidden file basesystem.dmg to the flash drive, along with the kernel and a couple of other files. Then you install the Chameleon boot loader on the flash drive and configure it so that it will boot the Lion installer on your hardware. I'm betting this is exactly what your Tonymac toys do for you automatically. Or at least that's what they should be doing. There are a ton of guides available on how to do this manually, people are doing the same thing even on real Macs, except for the installing Chameleon part of course. As for how to install Lion on a PC from scratch, without access to a working Mac or Hackintosh, I have no idea.
