i agree. rEFI (XPC) does an compete different way of booting - no chameleon options like autographics inhection, powermanagement (Pstates & Co). I also will wait. I tried XCP from USB Stick again, and it fails to boot anything (10.6/10.7 in my case).

 

Insted of old XPC efi, an much more developed efi [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] can be used : http://www.mediafire.com/?72yby127d562cj2

I will give that an try :(

Believe or not, usr-sse2 provides full reports from Lion.

usr-sse2 report:

 

 

Installation Method: 

1) install on flash loader XPC and slips him a DSDT 

2) Take an image, connect it. 

3) open / Volumes / Mac \ OS \ X \ Install \ ESD / BaseSystem.dmg 

4) mounted image, expand the Disk Utility to partition or another flash 

5) Go to System / Installation on the topic, which launched and removed from there a shortcut Packages 

6) cp -rf /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation



7) Reboot. Start the XPC, it Hit M, enter: 



Board Serial: Mac-F4208DA9

You can add arch = i386 

Select division Installer, Georgia. 

In the console: 

mount_hfs / dev / diskXsY / tmp, where diskXsY - section, which bears fakesmc.kext 

chown-R root: wheel / tmp / fakesmc.kext

Set the system as usual. 

The next time you boot the same load fakesmc (chown command is no longer needed)

Thanks !

I tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (also uEFI) with Snow Leo install and it worked (XPC not). I now will try your listed steps for 10.7.

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] DL Link some posts before, if others cant use XPC.

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] is more new than XPC and also listed as 10.7 usable.

I tryed [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and it works with SL but no luck with vanila Leo. XPC does not seem to work on both.

 

I will have to get a spare hdd drive to do a little more testing.

Can someone post an actual exact tutorial, in correct english?

 

This would be a godsend. I tried XPC but I do not believe I am doing it right.

 

A proper tutorial would be most appreciated.

Are you running the command prompt as Administrator? Try formatting the portable drive yourself to FAT32.

XPC does not like Asus MoBos :-( ... perhaps you try booting from a usb stick or DVD ...

Hi,

I installed tomLoader to an usb pen drive, but when I try to boot lion it loads all kext and then it reboots...

I have tried the followng options -v -s or -v -f in flag

in defaut kernel mach_kernel

 

Any ideas?

 

try -x to start without any third-party Kexts...

maybe this is working...?

Hi again,

I've redone all from beginning... I restored basesystem.dmg to and external hard disk and then copied packages files to System/Installation/Packages

Now when I try to boot with xpc it hangs at loading the extensions caches... Only the caches not all the kexts!

 

What can I do?

 

P.S.

Yeah, I have an Asus MB... grrr

Go stuck there, too first:

 

boot into your install and delete the extensions.mkext file from startup (14,7 MB)

 

In my case it loads all extensions, then just reboots instantly like stated before :)

@blade5502 - your instructions are just what users here are after and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] did make it easier for me than using XPC.

 

Of course, all credit goes to usr-sse2 for enabling the first Lion hack!

 

Boots just fine here ;)
