asapreta Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I noticed I don't get DP booting from Chamaleon RC3 with netkas boot file when I do change something in BIOS and DMI is update. How can this be related one to each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graebags Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi all, Has anyone had any success with the updated Nvidia Fermi driver and GTX 460 cards etc with Lion? I've tried and it loops (failing) loading the desktop endlessly. ie Mt Fuji briefly appears, blanks, retries,.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 everyone who has a core i* or Atom chip, you can use the RC3 bootloader with the file from netkas. I kept getting double faults on my core i5 750 and finely decided what the hell couldn't Brink the install by using an older bootloader, it hasn't faulted since. http://www.kexts.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=116 is the link I used, and then just copied the boot over. yes the original RC3 code did not support the more advanced chips but the modifications in the boot file seem to work great.

pechspilz Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Lion is working like a charm using XPC 0.82.10 on an ASUS P6T non-deluxe mainboard! No more dreaded kernel panics. http://trick77.com/2011/03/27/asus-p6t-mac...pc-boot-loader/ Was getting double panics using other boot loaders.

iRipper Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi guys! I won't be installing Lion until the retail comes out. But could someone who already did answer this question: Does it really need Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad? Or a multi-button mouse is enough?

PGHammer Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi guys! I won't be installing Lion until the retail comes out. But could someone who already did answer this question: Does it really need Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad? Or a multi-button mouse is enough? In terms of what? You can still use regular mice and trackpads with Lion (I changed nada hardware-wise between Snow and Lion - the only thing I use a PS/2 keyboard for is [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]). Regulation keyboard and mouse (across all three of my OSes, 7 Ultimate, Snow, and Lion) are Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 V.3 and Logitech V220 Cordless - both of which are USB. The Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad are a deliberate assault on the third-party peripheral market by Apple - the idea is to keep third-party (mostly from the PC, and primarily from Microsoft and Logitech) peripherals away from the Mac. In fact, in most cases, multi-button mice are expliciitly suported still (a lot of that was added in Leopard, in fact). The bigger issue on the Mac/Hack side are webcams - not kkeyboards or mice.

iRipper Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks for the reply PGHammer. I mean in terms of usability and ease of use. Like scrolling trough desktops or using dashboard. is it still possible and comfortable to do with the mouse or Magic TrackPad is better?

blackosx Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 XPC v0.82.16 boots 10.7 just fine. About This Mac shows 4GB memory - which is correct However, the Memory option of About This Mac reads: Your Mac contains 0 memory slots, each of which accepts a ??? memory module. No user-installable memory slot exists. System Profiler / Memory shows me: There was an error while gathering this information. Changing the memory details in settings.plist makes no difference. Keep up the code changes iPhoneTom, you'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludacrisvp Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Did Apple change their automatic 64bit kext settings this time around? With Snow Leo my Early 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 needed to be forced into x64 mode. With Lion it seems that its defaulted to x64 mode? or is that because I decided to make it Lion Server? On a side note the ZDNet Overclocking tool no longer works it would seem. It claims I don't have a MacPro or an Xserve and won't install the kext. Any of you gurus out there have any ideas? bash-3.2# kextutil -v /System/Library/Extensions/overclock.kext/ Warnings: Executable does not contain code for architecture: x86_64 /System/Library/Extensions/overclock.kext appears to be loadable (not including linkage for on-disk libraries). Loading /System/Library/Extensions/overclock.kext. Can't load /System/Library/Extensions/overclock.kext - no code for running kernel's architecture.

blackosx Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Lion boots the kernel in 64-bit mode by default. Your overclock.kext isn't compiled for x86_64 architecture. Try booting Lion with arch=i386 kernel flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verleihnix Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I managed to get to the language chooser using XPC After that, system told me it can't be installed on this machine - only backup or restore.

Hi iRipper From my experience of playing with Lion on my iMac with magic mouse and my hack with a generic 2 button USB mouse, the magic mouse increases the fun factor and fluidity of navigating the desktop / mission control etc.. and to some extent useability, but Lion can be used perfectly well without having a magic mouse, though having used one I do recommend it. I can't comment on the trackpad, as I haven't used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRipper Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks Black! That's all I wanted to hear. Guess I'll wait for Retail Lion, try it myself and then maybe buy a Trackpad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellmantt Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 so does that mean it will boot without the usb stick? No. What I mean is that I have been able to boot 10.7 from a Internal drive (single Partition) using XPC UEfi-Bootloader 0.82.17 on a usb stick. Previously I have could only run Lion on an external USB drive. Have had no luck with Chameleon RC3 or RC5 and netkas boot file though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
