I'm trying to install lion on a hard disk format mbr without success ... I tried various OSInstall packages that have been made ​​available by various users, but these packages do not allow installation on MBR partition ... someone is kind enough to tell me if you managed to install on mbr lion without cloning or strange things? thanks for everything;)

I haven't tried an MBR installation, so I don't know how much help I'll be, but let me ask some questions:

 

1- What is the error message when you get stuck?

2- What boot loader are you trying to use: Netkas, AnVal, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], XPC?

3- I'm assuming you are using two partitions and you have expanded the BaseSystem to one partition, then added the Packages to it and then gone into the Packages and replaced the OSInstall.mpkg with one of the modified ones (or tried to modify your own). That BaseSystem partitition can be on your hard drive, a USB drive or a flash drive - just some partition different from where you plan to finally install Lion.

It will get to the install screen where you select the partition. Here, all the MBR partitions are flagged with a yellow caution sign and greyed out. Clicking on a MBR partition will evoke a warning, saying that it has to be formatted in GUID.

I think this won't help me. My system runs Lion, but the boot takes some retries using Chamaleon and its DF problem.

I´m trying to make things easier using XPC as the "official" boot for Lion.

I have a Realtek 8111B chip. I fixed the ethernet issues by installing RealtekR1000SL.kext and running KextUtility for Lion (both available on Kexts.com).

Finally got XPC to boot Lion installer on my GA-P67A-UD3-B3.. had to disable USB 3.0 in the BIOS.

(Verbose mode even shows the kernel recognizing Sandy Bridge Turbo Boost!)

Only problem is no USB devices are detected, so all I can do is stare at the language selection screen.

Tried messing with varios BIOS configs of the USBs; no luck. Tried renaming USB devices to mac friendly names in the DSDT; no luck. Tried using IOUSBFamily.kext from Snow Leopard; no luck. USB has always worked natively in Leopard/Snow.

The only thing I can think of is that XPC is somehow setting up the IO Tree of the USB devices incorrectly, yet I don't know how to go about configuring XPC properly.. the settings.plist lists a long device properties string but I don't know what this is for.

Hi Edge3000

 

the only thing you did, was the USB 3.0 disable?

 

I have an ga-p67a -ud3 not the B3..and I can't boot it...I'll try disable de USB too to check

Yes, the only thing I disabled was USB 3.0. The rest of the bios I tried to set as hackintosh friendly as possible (ACHI mode, 64-bit HPET, ect) I know that in Snow Leopard I have to set the CPU multiplier to x29.. don't know if this is also the case for Lion. I do know from the verbose readout that AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement loaded and recognized turbo boost.

 

For those using the B3 version, a new BIOS update was released that apparently fixes the reset button. (I've had to reset the CMOS countless times simply because the system hangs! Although I did find that powering off the PSU for a few seconds prevented this)

(Also, for those using Windows 7- I hear the 0+2 method works well :) )

I think you got it wrong. I do not have internet/network issues.

I only want to boot Lion using XPC.

Thanks, that was a good hint. Without that my ga-h67ma-ud2h-b3 would just stay at black screen (no cursor).

I also had to add a video card; XPC and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] seem to be unable to use the on-chip video with my sandy bridge system (again black screen, no cursor).

(Verbose mode even shows the kernel recognizing Sandy Bridge Turbo Boost!)
I don't get that far; I get:
Loading kernel cache file ...
root device uuid is ...

and then the system reboots a fraction of a second later. This with xpc 0.82.29

 

As for the anval & netkas boot files, those result in the system rebooting at the point where they should be starting mach_kernel.

 

So none of these EFI bootloaders seem to work with the h67 chipset.

I´ve installed lion using the vga port of the board; intel hd3000 works under lion but without qe/ci using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.5a and with pc efi and anval got kp when booting.

Hi Edge3000

 

I did the same procedure(disable USB 3.0) an I got the boot of XPC, but, after I select the "base system"to go install screen, it "reboot" ,after some verbose "loading drivers"..

 

...any way ,one more step was done..

I´ve installed lion using the vga port of the board; intel hd3000 works under lion but without qe/ci using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.5a and with pc efi and anval got kp when booting.

With my h67, using the built-in intel hd graphics 3000, I only get black screens with iboot1.5a. Does not matter what input I use - vga, displayport, hdmi - all black screen no cursor. iboot1.5a only gives me a menu if I use an add-on video card.

 

Any hint as to what you're doing to tease [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] into working with hd3000 graphics?

Did you have to manually add your dsdt to /efi? Turn off usb3 in bios? gigabyte motherboard? Configure busratio? Configure cpufrequency in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]?

Try setting busratio down to 29. I don't know why I can't set my base multiplier higher than that even in Snow Leopard running sandy bridge macbookpro kernel. Apparently turbo boost is the way to go as far as overclocking right now. Turboboost was set at 43/42/41/40 when I managed to boot and got the verbose output in Lion saying that the kernel recognized my turboboost settings. No such message in SL and I doubt if turbo boost is even working. MSR tools never has worked for me.

 

But until I can get my USB ports recognized by Lion I'm kind of at a wall =/.

 

To everyone: Do you think this is simply a DSDT issue? Or does the problem lie with the way XPC is configuring the ports?

(See my sig for hardware)

bios config:

cpu clock ratio:32

usb 3.0 disable

onboard serial disable

hpet 64 bit

But [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] didn´t show on screen the devices until I disconnected the dvd drive. I´m using a patched dsdt placed in acpi-patched and fakesmc in 10.7.

If you finally can see the boot drives, select the lion install one and press M; then delete all data related to cpu and memmory and set kernel boot flag to -v; also product name change it to MacBookPro8,1.
