ErmaC Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 The Lionize.command process always fails for me with the error: The USB drive is properly partitioned: I am doing this from Mac OS X 10.7.1 with the Install Mac OS X Lion.app in my applications directory. What am I doing wrong? Is there something else I can try? The size of the Install Mac OS X Lion.app ? You need one ORIGINAL version (probably you have a custom prepatched file probably downloaded from a "non Apple website") and Lionize works only with untouched version. Your motherboard is?

DefKorns Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Ciao .: ErmaC :., after the sucessful instalation on my machine to a external USB HDD for test, i recreated the usb stick with Lionize 1.04 and installed on my hdd over my SL installation. On this second installation i noticed some issues that i didn't on the USB HDD installation. 1- All my internal drives are showing as External not Internal 2- The computer is much slower then it was with the external USB HDD and in SL 3- All my IDE componets disapeared (No hdd and no optical drive). I even installed JmicronATA (this kext solved the problem on SL, but not on Lion) Thank you in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I fix this? I have 2 hard-drives. on first windows7 and on second Lion. 2. how to upgrade to 10.7.1? thanks. 1- you need to install chameleon. During the LIONIZe process it asks you if you want to install Chameleon. You must select Y Step 7: boot from to your USB when you see a top bar select utilities > terminal and write down: ./finalize /Volumes/Lion reboot I'm presuming that you called your HDD Lion. If not replace Lion with your hdd name 2 - If you read carefully the tutorial, you'll find that on: --- STEP 4 (OPTIONAL) ---Needed step if you want an already 10.7.1 updated install. Download the 10.7.1 update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1437 and copy it into BOX LIONIZE's folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErmaC Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Update. Lionize 1.05 and Recreandae 1.02 - More Asus X58 Motherboard support - Correction for ALC892 and ALC889 - Update Chameleon to latest revision Fabio For people with a 10.7.0 already installed... Run the 10.7.1 update, and befaore "restart" run Recreandae.command follow the instruction for your motherboard. And that's it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyodude Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Fabio - App Store now only allows downloading the 10.7.1 installer. Any idea if Lionize works on that installer as well, or does it require the original 10.7.0 installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these errors arise after you have installed 2 systems and it wouldn't boot into either or both. This can be easily fixed by the following steps 1. Boot with mac OSX boot disc 2. Goto Utilities and enter Terminal 3. in the terminal type diskutil list Make a note of which disk has the partitions(rdisk0, rdisk1, etc) 4. type fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 you might see the MBR error, don't worry about it. 5. type p and you should see all your partitions. At this point you would want to figure out which partitions you want to boot into first. If you have 2 partitions then flag the one you want to be primary last. For example, you have 2 partitions, 1 and 2.Partition 2 holds windows 7 and 1 holds OSX Snow Leopard. You want to boot into OSX boot loader to choose which parition to boot, in this case you want to flag the windows partition active first, then flag the OSX partition active, 6. so you would type f 2 write y f 1 write y exit This would fix your problem, eject your CD and reboot.

bobenia Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I try this but error still appears. this is my diskutil list, so please help step by step... also, if it is possible, can I have only Lion and Windows7 partition in chameleon? is it possible to "hide" other partitions in chameleon ? I would like to see only disk0s2 and disk1s2 thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisfdoc1 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 First of all, thank you for this guide and files. I have an ASUS P6X58D-E and I did the whole process using a GeForce GTX 260 and everything worked (no special flags) BUT, then I changed to my GeForce GTX 560Ti, and I cannot longer boot. I tried flags such as: -npci=0x2000 , -PCIRootUID=1, -x, and nothing works. My boot gets stuck at: [PCI configuration begin] Please any help! Thanks!
