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?

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,..........

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.

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?

Hi guys! I won't be installing Lion until the retail comes out. But could someone who already did answer this question:

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.

Thanks for the reply PGHammer. :D

 

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?

 

Sorry for stealing the thread for a bit :(

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. :)

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/

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.

tried XPC 0.82.18:

Memory: Speed detected correctly, make, serial...etc reported as "none". Good enough for me ;)

Restart: Not working (Am I doing something wrong?)

PM: working

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.
