hello i hope someone can help

ive downloaded the fixed dvd and installed it.

then it restarts and asks for keyboard options location and personal info etc to be put in, it then it asks to create an account.

i create an account and the system says down bottom creating account but it flashes back to the start where it asks for keyboard options etc again.......ive been going round in circles for hours now

ive read thread from start to finish but noone seems to have had this prob

help please

thanks

Try this solution used in other versions of Mac OS: boot with -s (single user mode) and run

mount -uw /
touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
reboot

 

I've never seen this problem in Lion, you should consider a new installation erasing the partition.

Give more details about the error, or post a screenshot.

Did you follow instructions in post 2?

1st off great disk. I am trying to install this on a dell d630. This gets me further then anything else I have downloaded but seems to lockup when osx goes to install the system to disc. It just says 20 minutes and then it freezes. Any suggestions?

[Cassio]

Try to move or click the mouse, sometimes only the video freezes.

[jspec]

actually it just sits until I move the mouse then it freezes. It says installing osx on disk hd1 and that is as far as it gets.

@Cassio

nevermind i got it sorted i had a hidden partition on the drive, i assume chameleon was getting confused

mulitbeast has been a bust

Listen , i took a lion OSX from a friend , it is a cd , the components in the cd are :

1.Install mac os lion

2.Library

3.Packages

4.System

5.Macosx_Media_background.png

6.Private

Please notify me if this will work and if it will , please teach me how cuz i didnt really get the tutorial :/

[Cassio]

If it's a dmg from App Store you should succeed building the DVD, but if it will work or not, depends on your hardware.

You can download the resulting ISO, join Olarila.com/chat and type "? liondvd".

[Extopia]

This could work?

and i just follow the steps and i get lion?

Burn the iso to DVD and follow steps in post 2 http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=740#p7322

[Cassio]

No, I won't make a video. There are many guides and videos about installing Lion, if this isn't good enough for you, I'm sure you can find a better one.

[Extopia]

Oh okay , sorry if i annoyed u :/
