I followed this tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwmkU5wPi5g

The only reason I chose this method of installing Lion was due to the lack of 8GB USB, its not necessary to use this method. Im not sure if it works on the retail version, I have Lion GM installed, didnt bother to try retail since its the same version as GM.

I have the 1.0rev board, if your using a higher board you will have to install the kext for your lan, choose the one from your current snow leopard install.

I chose to install the same kexts in S/L/E and /Extra just in case something wouldnt work. I have also included the Chameleon and Kext Utility for Lion. DSDT not included, use the one from your current install.

So far, everything is working. Sleep, sound, lan, gfx..

Note: It is important to install new Chameleon on both your installs, Lion and Snow Leopard if you want to keep dual boot.

If you get "Lion cannot be installed on this computer". Please use the Lion_OSInstall included in the link above. Replace that with the OSInstall on your USB or Hard drive that you restore Lion on.

Hi.

Does you hackintosh have sleep and Wake On Lan ? It can wake up from sleep if click mouse or keyboard more times. If click only one button that it starts and sleep again. Monitor doesn't turn on if click only one time.

Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2L Install
 
Hi,
I have the Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2L. Should the install guide work with this mobo? I am having real trouble getting it to work. I created the USB drive installer using Snow Leopard disk utility in a virtual machine as I don't have a Mac. It all seemed to be working well. modified the plist file etc. Upon reboot and F12 it recognised my drive and I selected the USB thumb drive on the second screen.. then waited.. and waited. Finally the apple logo comes up and then a few seconds later I get a small cirle with a cross through it come up and it just stalls.Any suggestions anyone??

Guys I am stuck after I select the language. It gives me a never ending "preparing installation" screen. How can I solve this?

Easy lion
 
1-kakewalk with eg41m settings will install and get a basic system running.
2-remove the dsdt from extra folder
3-restart
4-use dsdt auto patcher (find it..google?) select your make and model mobo
5-i removed cmos reset kext from extra
6-repair permissions
7-get newest sleepenabler (each os version upgrade requires new sleepenabler)
http://code.google.com/p/xnu-sleep-e...downloads/list
8-install with kextbeast

besure to follow/read each programs guides, such as kakewalk and kextbeast other wise you will have issues.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion (and also did a fresh install) using the DSDT.aml from the original G31M-ES2L link in the first post, and MultiBeast 4.6.1 from TonyMac for drivers.

Everything working except for sound at this time
