Hi, I have purchased XFX GT240 512M DDR5. And installed it on my Dell Optiplex 760. It works great. :)

installer won't look for ur keyboard.
if u have ps2 keyboard then use voodoo ps2 controller.
it worked for me.

Thank You for your advice..
but i have a small problem.
How can i edit the Info.plist as i am not able to boot into Lion in single user mode.
I have freshly installed Lion so I do not have any other MAC OS X installed on my HDD to reach Info.plist
Can any 1 please guide to boot into my installed Lion in single user mode ?
The Command -s does not work and leads me to "Cannot find Keyboard error" ..plz help

btw the guide is simply awesome ..thanx pippox0:D

re-editing this post...
booting in single user mode gives this error :
BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory
after this,the keyboard error appears :(
just cannot enter single user mode to edit info.plist :( :(

I'm booting with verbose mode (chameleon RC5_947 on SL and Lion) (copied SL boot.plist & smbios.plist)
I also tried another language, same error

My motherboard is a Gigabyte X48-DS5
Processor: Core2Duo E8500
Graphic card: Nvidia 9800GT

Keyboard: Razer Lycosa
Mouse: Razer Lachesis

And i'm using a USB HDD for booting Lion (Maxtor 250GB)

files
 
why on earth did you copy those files ??? there for snow leopard... this is lion not snow dude it might be because you copied those files .


can you tell us why you copied those files as i didnt see it in the guide on the first post .. was it in a later post that i have not yet seen saying to copy them over from Snow To Lion

Because I got KP like first guy's.

I have successfully installed Lion by restoring default OSinstall
