mrjanek Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Does kakewalk require SL already installed on the machine? I have prepared the bootable usb from a regular Mac-pro at a friend's house. Will this allow me to install Lion on UD5? Thanks for the reply! Yes, this works fine. Hey, installation worked flawlessly with an GA-EP43-UD3L, but the GraphicEnabler is set to No by default, resolution here is 1024x.... . Thank you very much Set GraphicsEnabler to Yes and hopefully it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matrix Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yes, this works fine. Thank you! I'm going to go home and try it out tonight PS: Do you mean SL is not required on my UD5 machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truz Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yes, this works fine. Set GraphicsEnabler to Yes and hopefully it will work. Yes, its working fine when set to yes. Just wanted to mention it, since the manual which comes with Kakewalk says you should set it from Yes to No. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Matrix Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You can do a fresh install of Lion with the USB stick you created. Great, I thought the Lion installation is always 2 step process(install 10.6.6 - 10.6.8 then install Lion on top). Thanks for the quick reply.

richardsim7 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 When I boot from the USB stick I get a \ with a blinking _ underneath. What could be causing this? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I was unable to get Lion to install using this and my Asus P6T6. I know it isn't on the supported Motherboard list so I picked a motherboard which had the closest specifications, which was the Gigabyte X58-UD7 As it is loading files it kernel panics with this error: com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform(1.4) If I disable ACPI APIC that error goes away but then it just locks up with "Darwin Kernel Version 11.0.0" without a real error message appearing. I have APIC 2.0 activated and I did everything else in the instructions that I needed to change in the BIOS but unfortunately it doesn't wanna work for me. Any ideas?

dolan Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 How can I make a USB using windows? or is that not possible? Can i boot from USB and install into a BLANK HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matrix Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I got my EX58UD5 up and running with Lion. I did a clean fresh install and it worked fine. Only issue is my AMD 4890 is not getting picked up by the OS. If i set graphics enabler to YES then it is not booting. Hangs with the infamous ACPI timeout. Anyhow I'm super excited. Edit: FYI...Got my 3d acceleration working by installing the QE_CI_10.7 then enabling GraphicEnabler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu123 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks for the app! This will be my first attempt at installing Lion on my machine... Haven't had to mess with anything hackintosh since I got my machine running perfectly 2 years ago, so it's nice to see an easy app for jumping back in... Couple of questions: 1) This is a vanilla install, right? Not like the old kalyway or iDeneb distros? 2) Does it work if you create a HD partition instead of USB stick? I created a 10gb HD partition and it worked fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromwells Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 OMG!!! Kakewalk just killed my windows ntfs (D:) disk with all my stuff there (photos, games vids and distrs) How I got it: HDDs: 1.SATA ("System" (ntfs with windows 7 installed), "Store" ntfs with all my stuff) 2.IDE ("Lion" hfs, "XP" ntfs) 3. USB-HDD ("Time Machine Backup" hfs, "Kakewalk" hfs) Started Kakewalk 4.0 in SL (at "Lion" partition), selected Lion app and "Kakewalk" disk for installation. Got error after few minutes. Restarted Kakewalk.app, OK message. Then Installed Kakewalk to USB-HDD and found out that my "System" ntfs disk is renamed to Kakewalk. hmmm... And "Store" ntfs disk is empty in Finder (although properties show it almost full as it should be) After that I renamed "Kakewalk" ntfs to "System" again and installed Lion without any problems to "Lion" on top of SL. It works fine. But after succesful rebooting to Win7 I've realized that my "Store" ntfs disk is mounted as RAW. What I have to do to get my data back? I seem there's some mess with the disks structure definition in Kakewalk 4.0 =( Use it with caution and eject all unneeded HDDs before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviduco Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 What if my motherboard is not listed? Could you include a "generic" profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasoslukos Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Anyone had any luck with the GA EP45-DS3R? Its not on his list but i have the DSDT still so Id think it wouldn't be a problem. I could just remake my Cham stick and go the long route but kake looks sooo much nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matrix Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 What if my motherboard is not listed? Could you include a "generic" profile? You can cross your finger and hope it works. Some of the kernel extensions are specific to the motherboard chipset and integrated devices therefore you may have some trouble. I think you can use his usb and update the specific kext files for your motherboard then it should technically work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
