it say " no hpets found......." and then it is mentioning applecpupowermanagement ....

 

this is happening when i paste the extra folder and i am not running dsdt auto patcher. after i get an aml file will this error go ??

 

Is HPET enabled in BIOS?

To prevent KP you can use:

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

Almost the last download file on bottom of post.

 

Hardware?

First I would like to say that this is an excellent and thorough guide, but I've run into a snag.

 

I'm running an Asus G74, and I'm trying desperately to get this install to work, I've gone through the process to the letter, but I keep getting "Mac OS X Cannot Be Installed On This Computer". I've tried replacing the OSInstall.mpkg in the packages folder, but with the same results. I've also tried the iATKOS_L1 disk and it ends the same way.

 

The only thing I can think of is that I'm trying to install on the second hard drive that's in the notebook, would that cause a problem?

 

Or do I have to boot a certain way into the USB to get it to install properly?

 

Advice would be greatly appreciated,

 

Thanks.

I created the boot disk as instructed. However I get KP on boot from it.

 

I'm using a HDD not a USB drive as the boot disk.

 

Chameleon V2.1 r1700

 

GIGABYTE GA-EG41MFT-US2H with Q8300

 

I have tried various combinations of kexts and Boot.plist settings but I don't know for sure which ones will work for my motherboard on lion, so I'm guessing.

 

KP happens just after loading appleFScompressiontypeZlib although with some combinations of kexts and setting it happens just before or after that point.

Can anyone suggest what I need to change?

 

EDIT, I turned off built in firewire in the bios, and this problem above is solved, now I just have the dreaded Unable to open /var/db/Bootcache.playlist problem same as everyone else.

 

Installing PC EFI plus replacing the boot file didn't work for me.

Alright, so here goes... I have a Dell OptiPlex 755 (Ultra Small Form Factor) with an Intel E6550 Core 2 Duo, Intel GMA 3100 graphics, 2GB RAM. Using the steps here I successfully installed OSX 10.7.1. I used the iMac 9,1 extra file, and now need to get the following things working:

 

- Network Adapter (Intel 825xx Gigabit Ethernet)

- Audio (ADI 198x Integrated HD Audio)

- Graphics (Intel GMA 3100) (I currently have a GUI at the default 1024x768 though)

 

So far everything else is working great though. I have this attached to my 55" LG TV and plan to use it to feed movies and such of a shared drive. I'm just having trouble locating the right kext files. Also, will they go in the /Extra/Extensions/ folder, or in /System/Library/Extensions/ or...?

Would you be able to help?

I have a nVidia 8600 GT 512 video card with HDMI output.

Every time i plug in HDMI it freezes, and it gets stuck on the apple grey screen when i start up with it on

I thought having a dsdt that works would fix that. will it?

I've worked with the Optiplex 755 before, and unfortunately I don't think that there are any working kexts for the GMA 3100 or the ADI 198x. I wasn't able to get either working over the course of a week. You might be out of luck :/

Hi, awesome guide, I got my usb drive made and tried to boot from it and it gave me this error

 

 

/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist is depreciated.

Please yse the file /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist instead.

Press a key to continue...

 

I searched around to try to find a copy of this file and couldn't, and even if i did i wouldn't know for sure where to put it, any help?

 

Thanks

Sorry if I get on people's nerves here, I'm very new to this and might need a lot of help

 

I got it working by renaming the file I mentioned before, then had a /mach_kernel problem but found a fix to that. Now it looked like it was booting fine but then went into just a blank white screen no cursor or anything. any help?

 

Thanks

I had this problem yesterday, although I did see a spinning beach ball for a while.

Have you added fakesmc.kext?
