Select Mac Os Extended (Journaled) and click on the Erase button. Mount InstallESD.dmg *InstallESD.dmg Lion GM --> "Install Mac OS X Lion.app/Contents/SharedSupport". Open Terminal and run the command: open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg Now click on the Restore tab, drag Mac OS X Base System to Source and the USB drive partition to Destination, then click on the Restore button. This operation takes several minutes. The partition will have its name changed automatically to Mac OS X Base System after the restoration. After the restoration, open the restored partition, navigate to System/Installation, delete the Packages link and create a folder with the same name, Packages. Open Terminal and run the command: open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages Copy the files to the Packages folder created previously. Run the installers "Extra Lion" and "Chameleon RC5". Remember to click on Change Install Location... and select the USB drive as destination, or they will be installed on the running system. With the installer USB ready, boot it and install Lion to an HD partition. * If you have problems in installation with the message "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer", replace the file "OSInstall" in the folder System/Installation/Packages by this... OSInstall.zip After the installation, boot the USB drive again, but in Chameleon menu choose to boot the HD. The system is running, but it doesn't boot without the USB stick, then we have to install the bootloader (Chameleon), the essential kexts and the DSDT Post installation 1- Copy the Extra folder to the HD iMac9,1 / Core2Duo Extra_iMac9_1.zip iMac11,1 / Core i 1156 Extra_iMac11_1.zip iMac12,1 / Core i 1155 Extra_iMac12_1.zip MacPro3,1 / Core2Quad Extra_MacPro3_1.zip MacPro4,1 / Core i 1366 Extra_MacPro4_1.zip MacBook4,1 / Core2Duo Mobile Extra_MacBook4_1.zip MacBookPro6,1 / Core i Mobile Extra_MacBookPro6_1.zip MacBookPro8,1 / Sandy Bridge Extra_MacBookPro8_1.zip NEW Installer Extra Folder http://www.insanelym...howtopic=258606 2- Install Chameleon-2.0-RC5 (into Lion partition) 3- Run DSDT Auto-Patcher and copy the DSDT generated in the desktop to the Extra folder Power Management and restart fix use Chameleon RC5 Add in boot.plist <key>GeneratePStates</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>GenerateCStates</key> <string>Yes</string> Downloads IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext.zip LegacyAHCI AHCIPortInjector.kext.zip NullCPUPowerManagement NullCPUPowerManagement.kext.zip Thanks and Credits to rooftopz, oldnapalm, RoggerioSarah and to all people in the community who developed the original Patches and Kexts.

TheGemini Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 First of all Thanks for the impressive guide! I followed it to the letter and now have a working Lion However, my cpu is not recognized correctly and therefore Lion is slow as #$&*(@. I've got the following setup: Asus p8p67-m core i5 2500k Sapphire Radeon 6850 I've followed all your steps, copied the extra folder from the macbook pro 8,1 (sandy bridge) added the kexts at the end of your post to the extra/extensions folder used kextutil to create a new mkext file for the extensions updated the boot.plist file to include SMBIOS=/Extra/smbios.plist My video card shows as a Radeon NI40 (same as under 10.6.7), has accelerated desktop but no working dvd player, etc... Network works, installed the lnx2mac 8111 driver from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/256729-lion-installation-via-usb-stick-using-chameleon/#findComment-1681871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 added the kexts at the end of your post to the extra/extensions folder do you use NullCpuPowerManagement? try another bootloader for SandyBridge http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=255866 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/256729-lion-installation-via-usb-stick-using-chameleon/#findComment-1681880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGemini Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 do you use NullCpuPowerManagement? try another bootloader for SandyBridge http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=255866 Yes! That did the trick, used the Andy package. Installed it to the USB stick first and tried to boot from that, worked the first time. Now have a lion sporting a Core i5 which is blazing fast!

magnifico Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 yep Ok, listen me, I have a raid with two SSD, boot the Camaleon r700, leaving from this boot, see the Lion disc, if I go on this disc and dò the shipment from keyboard, the PC restart, but if I detach the two ssd, removing the cable from the mainboard, Lion leaves.

When you detach it, boot from Lion volume is used.
