Yes same result.

[AKZam]

Yes same result.

 

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.

I followed the procedure and i boot from the usb key, it loads all the kexts, and then it hangs/stops where the image is showing. (PCI Configuration Begin..)

I tried newer chameleon versions than the ones u recommended the same thing happens, also my BIOS resets everytime i reach that point.

Any ideas on how this could be fixed?

npci=0x2000?

[S_Coaster]

npci=0x2000?

 

i have no idea what that means..... u mean typethat in the bootloader before i initiate install?

[MaLd0n]

Yes

[S_Coaster]

trying it in 20 mins, thank you very much for your swift reply...i will update as soon as i try it!

[S_Coaster]

ok, it worked, thus the installation moved forward, i then got a grey screen with the "beachball" spinning on the top left, and then i got a kernel panic because "no HPETs were found..."

I fiddled with my bios settings, tried with both HPET ON @ 32BIT, again @ 64bit and again with HPET completely disabled. still get the same error...

do you recommend a different bootloader?

error: "No HPETs available...CPU(S) configured incorrectly

thank you for your time.

I also tried forceHPET=Yes, still no luck, AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext is becoming a pain in the a**

Ok, if i remove that kext along with it's AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient.kext, will i be able to move on with the installation? if not, is there a workaround?

again, thnx

[MaLd0n]

do you use Auto-Patcher?

[S_Coaster]

i followed the instructions on the tutorial, meaning i restored the image, copied the contents of "packages" over, installed "EXTRA LION DP4" and then "chameleon" on the target usb. i did not use "Auto Patcher".

I tried ForceHPET=Yes but no luck there either

(i typed that flag right after the one u gave me for pci, so it looked like "npci=0x2000 ForceHPET=Yes"

Other than installing a newer version of chameleon because the versions u attached to your tutorial, when installed on my usb stick, wont even let the computer move from POST, it hangs the entire system as soon as i plug it in (i found a couple of chameleon ver. with the brazilian flag from kexts.com aswell, they all have the same effect, any other version works fine and boots)

what's auto patcher? will it help?

Hi,

I've tried your method, but my laptop won't boot from the USB stick.

My laptop specs like this : Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E420 1141-7UA, Intel® Core™ i5-2410M (2.3GHz turbo boost up to 2.9GHz, 3MB L2 Cache), Intel® HD 3000 Graphics, RAM 2GB DDR3, HDD 750GB, Intel® Wireless 802.11b/g/n

It's a sandy bridge, is your method works on sandy bridge?

[MaLd0n]

Hi

I had a problem here:

"Run the installers "Extra Lion" and "Chameleon RC5".

 

...

Run the installers "Extra Lion" and "Chameleon". Remember to click on Change Install Location... and select the USB drive as destination, or they will be installed on the running system.

With the installer USB ready, boot it and install Lion to an HD partition.

 

 

I didn't install "Extra Lion" , just Chameleon 2.1 r1544.pkg. After I restarted there is an error booting (error 3F which is a "reserved" error). I see the BIOS splash screen but everything is locked. So is there anything to configure in the BIOS or hardware so Chameleon can boot?

I set the SATA Mode to ACHI, anything else?

- 1 memory stick?

- HPET Mode - 64-bit mode?

- ACPI Power mode: Set it to S3(STR)

This is the first time I try using Chameleon and I've read a lot but maybe I missed something?

[Term_s]

thank you for this guide maldon, its working very nice.

[Jedispara]

Just out of curiosity, does this work with a 10.7.2 installer from the app store. More importantly, does the "Extra Lion" work with this version of the installer.
