Hi, I created my usb lion installer by following the unishit 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.
