I have a similar result also (either gets stuck at waiting for DSMOS, DSMOS has arrived), or it progresses past this and the screen goes black with nothing happening. What hardware are you trying on ugooh? Wondering if this is a Sandy Bridge thing.

Thankyou MaLd0n - out of interest, and if you have time, can you list the patches you applied so I can try and learn how to be a bit more self sufficient. I understand how to use DSDT SE, but don't know how to know which patches to apply. Thanks again, Ill report back with my findings.

Here is my DSDT, if anyone can take a look I would be greatly appreciative I have included my lspci output below.

Hey MaLd0n and crew, great work as always! Was having a lot of problems installing SL to my new sony vaio (VPCSA290X), but this method seems to be able to get past these issues for the most part (largely EHCI stuff RE install not seeing boot devices), and continues the boot up part of the install up until this point - http://min.us/mbkPskq In your post it mentions "does not work with Sandy Bridge processors", but then you provide a SB compatible Extras folder (Macbook Pro 8.1). My cpu is Intel i7 SB 2620m (using busratio=27). Am I doing something wrong, or should I give up on Lion with my processor for now, and go back to trying to get SL installed. My DSDT and lspci dumps are in the attached zip (just realised that for some reason I am having trouble extracting my DSDT from the acpidump in ubunu, the dump is included in the zip, so maybe someone else will have more luck - bit of a linux nub). I realise that there are no perfect solutions for both my gfx cards as of yet, but I plan on tri-booting with ubunu and 7, so it will very much be a work in progress.
