DarwinX Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks a lot dude! Setup seems to work now! Do i have to update to 10.6.8 before i install Lion? At the Moment i have 10.6.7... No problemo. The Mac OS X Lion is a brand new operating system and therefore its installation is completely independent of your current Mac OS X version. Right click on SysPrefs >> Get Info >> Open in 32-bit mode i think that's what he's trying to say Thanks for the clarification. The old functional Trackpad.prefPane is confirmed to also be functional and viable in the OS X Lion's 32-bit System Preferences.app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav2113 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 hello i was checking out the replys in the form and i have been trying to install LION GM.

Fa90 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Im struggling with the 10.7 installation, opend the install, restored basesystem to USB-Stick, copied Packages folder, installed Chameleon 2.0 RC5 on the Stick, copied Extra Folder to Stick. If i try to boot with the Stick Chameleon works fine, i can boot into Windows 7, OS 10.6.7 and the USB-Stick. if i boot the Stick it says me that "mach_kernel" isnt available. So i booted again into OSX SL and copied the file from the Macintosh HD to the USB-Stick. Now after rebooting and choosing the Stick as Startup-device Chameleon loads about 30 seconds, then for a quarter second the Apple boot pic flashes up and the laptop reboots. -.-* any sugestions?

Don't copy the kernel from snow leopard. the error message is most likely because the default boot partition is defined incorrectly in the com.apple.Boot.plist in the Extra directory. If so, just delete the line that defines it (eg. "hd(0,1)"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fa90 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 copied mach_kernel from InstallESD.dmg and deleted the line HD (01) in boot.apple.plist, still no change. if i boot verbose it loads all kexts and than restarts. does i make any difference if i boot via Chameleon 2.0 RC3 (HD) or RC 5 (Stick) ? which guide did you used to make your (working) USB-Install-Stick? //edit: ok, with RC5 i got One step further! The setup doesnt Crash anymore, but loads only Endless. I have waited about 20 minutes now, only the Rainbow colored circel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the most recent DSDT.aml with the latest PCI patches posted on the front page of this thread or your own properly patched DSDT.aml? Are you using the current Chameleon 2 RC5 (r1211) with the newly renamed org.chameleon.Boot.plist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immo Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Migration Assistant does not migrate kexts or system specific files. Interestingly if you tell it to migrate applications, it will migrate kexts in System\Library\Extensions. I know because it screwed me over! I ran migrate during the Lion installation, and it tried to migrate over VoodooHDA which caused a kernel panic (because the new AppleHDA was there), and after restarting (and deleting AppleHDA) installation did not continue the migration, and instead had me create a default user account. I had to wipe out the drive and start again. The next time after it rebooted the first time I went into single user mode, deleted AppleHDA, and rebooted, and the installation continued and everything migrated over fine. I used the USB method with my usual kexts and the DSDT from my post. Immo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
