HP Envy 17" i7-1050ea

[scorpioserve]

hi scorpioserve, did you get everything working ? I've been trying to install osx on my HP Envy 17 and never got the DVD or Flash drive to even load. I tried everything i found , tried some commands as well but no luck at all. The dvd starts to load and at some point just stops, i never got to the screen for choosing the language. Can you please help me. What did you use to boot and install the Lion ?

Thank you,

 

cpus=1 busratio=12 -v

this is the only way I could boot, also I used an external monitor as the internal would not work with the version of iboot I had at that time, although I think it would now work with the latest iboot with Chimera boot loader.

i tried it. the dvd starts booting and when it gets to "System uptime in nanoseconds: 2936402931" it stops and nothing happens after. Any suggestions?

Use cpus=1 to install, then you need "lapic kernel" to be able to use all cores.

According your indications I have installed the OS but now whitout indicating CPUS=1 -v at boot I cannot boot.

Could you please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks

but now whitout indicating CPUS=1 -v at boot I cannot boot.

Even using lapic kernel?

[Neo_01]

Yes, also whit the downloaded kernel. But I'm not sure regardig the procedure that I have followed, in particular I have put the match_kernel file in the /extra folder of the boot partition, it's correct?

Thanks for your help

[Cassio]

No, you have to put it in the root of the partition, replacing the original mach_kernel, or you can use other name/path, but then you need to edit the "Kernel" key in Boot.plist with the new name/path.

Now works fine. Thanks a lot for your help.

Another point, do you know where to download the audio and WIFI drivers?

Thanks

[Cassio]

Search the same site you downloaded the kernel, you should find it there.

For audio you can try VoodooHDA http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=454
