Forgive me if I sound like a newbie, but I have been trying very hard to get Lion installed on my system. I have installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and cannot upgrade the system any further. When I look at my system specs, the processor is reported as "Unknown Processor". I have tried to use custom DSDT files within this posting (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=246491&st=0 ), but every time I try to use the files the system halts after reboot and the Apple Screen with a message to power of the system. I am new to the world of Mac, but have been trying very hard to learn to configure the system properly. I also have a Dell Latitude E6510 with the following specs:
Dell Latitude E6510
Quad Core i7 1.60 GHz
8GB RAM @ 1333MHz
nVidia NVS 3100M with 512MB DDR3 (working, but listed as unidentified, and no QE enabled in OS)
Intel Gigabit Ethernet
Intel 3600 WiFi a/b/g/n
Intel HDA
I have also created a bootable USB for Lion, but I never reach the installer. I ran the -v command and before the installer starts, the system halts at "PCI Configuration Begin." I have also tried all types of startup options, but nothing works. Does anyone know how to help or what I am missing?
