Hi, I created my usb lion installer by following the unibeast guide. The lion I downloaded from the app store (2 weeks ago) is 10.7.2. For 2 weeks now, since then I have been starting at the "Still waiting for root device" message each time I have run the installer. I have tried (I think) all possible boot flags and combinations of them. I've seen others on this forum who have successfully installed Lion on similar N53SV machines, so I believe its doable. I just don't know if its doable with a 10.7.2 installer or how. I have no idea why the installer can't see my h.d. (if I'm understanding the message correctly), or if there are any extra kexts I need. Please if someone could just help me get the Lion installer up and installed, I'm pretty sure that I can find drivers for the rest of the devices. Thank you.

Try to ask at unibeast support forum.

I did, and no one replied. I'm about to follow the instructions posted here, on setting up the lion usb installer. Do u think it will make a difference? I have 6Gb of ram, do i need to remove 2Gb (max 4Gb) as recommended by the unibeast guide?

I don't know if it will make difference since I never used unibeast.

As a quick test you can patch your DSDT using this http://olarila.com/Packs/Asus/N73SV.txt (put dsdt.aml in /Extra).

Do not plug your usb drive to usb3 port. Otherwise it should work.

I tried every usb port on my N53SV but i also get the "still waiting for root device" message

Did you patch EHCI and HPET with 4 IRQs in DSDT?

No not yet, i could not find dsdt.aml file in the Extra folder. So i could not patch that file. I have Ubuntu on my laptop right now and i read you first have to create a dsdt.aml file. I'm trying to create this file with the Ubuntu live cd. After i've created that file i want to patch this one with DSDT Auto-Patcher and N73SV file.

After i patched the dsdt.aml file i have to copy that one to the Extra folder and then i should enter the installation?

Thanks

*edit*
Patched the file. When patching it says; First compile errors: 2, later Second compile errors: 0.

*edit2*
Still the same error when booting This is with the unibeast guide.

I also tried this olarila guide:
http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=134

Everything worked fine till this:


Extra Lion install installed fine! Chameleon install gave me at some point the options like "i386". This one was marked, the others not. I choose the default with only 1 thing marked "i386". Maybe this was wrong or maybe i got a wrong chameleon 2.1 version. After this install of chameleon i tried to boot the usb disk but i also could not reach the installer screen

Type "Wait=yes -v" at boot and check if Extra/dsdt.aml is loaded.
