I installed Lion using myHack on my ProBook 4530s and installed the 10.7.5 update combo using the ProBook and vanilla kernel of course. Then I copied R:A:W:X86's kernel and the DP2 Finder and removed the ATI kexts: it booted right up into 10.7.5!!!

If anyone has any ideas about my ATI Radeon HD 5670, they would be much appreciated! Neither the 10.7.5 ATI kexts nor the 10.7.0 ATI kexts nor the ATI kexts that work with 10.6.8 will work; I am stumped for the moment.

What the heck just happened? I just used a tool to clean up my Mac now my timezone is messed up. Localtime-Toggle.pkg is messed up, I tried running it again and no fix now. I used the mac cleaning tool OnyX for Lion. Also, I'm still having that stupid problem where I have to type in -legacy busratio=17 UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes , each time I want to use my Mac side. :-/


Also, on some websites I get broken pictures like next to my username Godofwar on osx86.co, why would that be?

EDIT: I don't recommend using the tool OnyX, I believe it screws up the hackintosh. It must try to set things up like a real mac when it cleans... Odd... Now I have to set things up again, and boy oh boy is it annoying to install Snow, than Lion and set everything up all over again for the billionth time. Lets hope this last time I have to set things up, next time I have to be more cautious about which programs I use on Hackintosh I guess?

Instant Idiot, did you check netkas site out? He does an awesome work with ATI drivers for OSX.

I have tried using ATY_Init.kext, but that doesn't completely work. It shows a garbled black and white display that flickers a bit when I move the mouse. (with the 10.7.5 ATI kexts) Getting closer!

Just updated from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 now I lost my graphics card since the kexts I was using before I guess only worked on 10.7.2? Anyone know where I can get kexts or proper drivers for gtx 570 for 10.7.3? I tried googling but only came up with kexts for 10.7.3 580 gtx. :'(


Edit: Solved

Wow, I can't believe this but the official Nvidia drivers actually work! 10.7.3 is working for me but it works the same weird way my 10.7.2 worked. It seems I have to shut off my computer incorrectly 3 times before the command -legacy busratio=17 UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes to work... How strange, also I tried RAW's kernel and it didn't work with 10.7.2 or 10.7.3... I guess its only for 10.7.4? I think I'm afraid to even try to update to 10.7.4 because I heard most people haven't gotten that to work.

Wow, these official Nvidia drivers work better than the kexts I was using in 10.7.2!!! I noticed freezing in flash for a quick second on 10.7.2's kexts. But not on these ones, so far atleast... So, I guess 10.7.3 was worth the update after all


Rocket Launcher and Apps folder runs nicer. My apps folder is still weird looking on my dock tho, I can't change the appearance of my apps folder even with Ordinatore Plus. For some reason my apps folder took the appearance of my Address Book...

Screen shot of my hackintosh and its address book application apps folder:

http://oi46.tinypic.com/2e0oei0.jpg

good for you! Cheers to that! I just got my hackintosh to working with 10.7.4 last night and everything seems fine so far! With regards to your dock, have you tried changing it from the dock settings by clicking the apple logo?

@Godofwar: Right click on the Applications folder in the Dock and select "Display as Folder." :)

10.7.3 just punched me in the head really hard, what the heck is wrong with this update? I had my computer on for probably 10-15 hours and I got a freeze error at 11am in the morning and now my Mac side won't boot up. Why would this happen? Do I need a different boot command or is this a trap from NVIDIA drivers?

HAHAHA, weird stuff I installed Lion 10.7.2 again and this time I'm on the correct Chameleon Bootloader and I have no idea why because I didn't install any thing differently. This is very strange. :D

All the other times I installed the boot loader for Chameleon for Lion I would get a black Chameleon Bootloader instead of the official gray background boot loader with the Chameleon.

Edit: I know what I did differently, I unclicked the bootloader that comes with Itako's L2. So it's not even the bootloader I installed on the LION hd, but the bootloader that comes with Itako's L2. Still bothers me I notice slow downs on 10.7.2 with hacked 570 drivers. I don't know why...

Any solution for the Trash Can not deleting certain stuff? I remember having this glitch on Snow Leopard before but don't believe I solved it. I don't know how this glitch came back. :'(


Edit: Something weird happened again, So I was on my Mac side for awhile yesterday and I went to bed at 5am left mac side on work up around 4:30pm, came down stairs after brushing teeth and seen my mac side crashed at 4:30pm(same thing that happen when I was on 10.7.3), but this this time my Mac side on 10.7.2 worked fine. I hope this crashing stuff in time periods of me not doing anything for 11-12 hours on it don't end up hurting my cpu or graphics card.

boot plist flags, put it

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>right here</string>

but for the npci, just replace the existing one which is 0x2000 to 0x3000

Still not working.. :-|

I don't know if this can end up killing my graphics card but earlier today I had a graphics spasm in my Mac things started changing blocky colors. This happened on my Snow Leopard side too and than the next thing I remember is my gtx 470 being dead and the company being nice enough to send me another gtx 570.

I never told them that could have been the reason my gtx 470 had died. Could have all been coincidence but I just have to ask does anyone know if Hackintosh can actually harm you graphics card over time? I don't see why it would, but that graphics spasm thing I have had happened to me rarely happens. It has only happened twice to me. Once on Snow Leopard, (Next thing I know my gtx 470 is dead, could have been coincidence tho) and than now it has happened to me with my gtx 570 earlier yesterday actually since its 2 am now. I would say it did it about maybe like 4pm yesterday. I had to end up shutting my Mac down the incorrect way because the blockyness just went everywheres.

Seriously? Your card ended up dead? I also happen to have kinda like experience while using my hd5770. I guess its already dead now since it would only display during boot but wont even reach into the desktop. Or maybe just another coincidence! haha

*shrugs*

My 5670 isn't dead yet!

The only way I can see OS X in particular damaging a graphics card is if it somehow overclocked it by accident. (or by default)

Yeah it ended up dead, it was making weird lines when I booted up into Windows that wouldn't go away. I never told the company this because if I told them that they probably wouldn't have supported their warranty. :D

I don't overclock my graphics cards. A gtx 470 maxed out almost every game with the exception of Metro2033. Now my gtx 570 maxes out everything at 1920x1200 resolution.

I meant the unlikely idea of the OS X driver accidentally overclocking it. (By the way, I don't either.)

Some reason my flash acts up slowly at times on Google Chrome browser(sadly this my favorite browser). Does anyone know of a good or possibly better browser than Chrome for OSX? Is Camino a good one? I really don't want to change browsers but something is off about Google Chrome which is a shame since I like how Google Chrome looks.

Does anyone else get sound problems with OSX? Sometimes when I load up the system VOODOHDA doesn't load up even tho I have it set to load up each time I boot up Mac OS-X. :'(

I love chrome too in windows but in osx i use firefox.

anybody able to use sleep enabler on their lion hackintosh? Or atleast tried?

YES, I DID IT! I got my mac to self boot! :D

Still bugs me tho flash acts weird on my Mac and I'm not too sure my graphics card is getting along with Hackintosh for whatever reason that is. It's weird that when I watch videos on youtube it freeze for a quick second than unfreezes. It's weird that on Google Chrome things act weird on flash websites like Xat when I click grid the grid freezes for a quick second. But than when I use another browser like Camino the grid won't freeze but I still get that quick freeze on youtube videos no matter what browser I use. Also other weird stuff I have with my mac is the sound effects delay. Like if I empty my trash can I hear the trash can empty like 1 or 2 seconds later on a clear delay. I know thats not suppose to do that because my nephew has a real Mac(HE PAID 1,300 BUCKS FOR IT. beautiful screen on the Mac but I don't know if I'd ever pay that much for an operating system, but maybe if I was rich.) and his does not do that. So, I don't know if that is because I'm on Hacknitosh or if I have something not set up properly.

Also, I wish I didn't have such a crush on google Chrome since it really seems to not like my Hackintosh...

Now ain't this something? I just tried a Mac browser called Google Chrome Canary and it fixed all my browser freezing quickly related problems. Butt!!!! On youtube videos I now get weird scratchy noises on the videos... It's like I can't win? HAHAHA, this is a joke! :D


I must say this is quite weird how some browsers work differently than others... Very bizarree in my opinion.

Guys, what is the best alternative to TextEdit for Mac? I'm using JEdit, do you recommend a better text editor or is JEdit a good replacement?

Yeah, now my instant boot stopped working. I am back to being forced to type in commands such as -legacy UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=0

Here's a screenshot of my org.chameleon.boot.plist from the Extra folder. Thanks

http://oi45.tinypic.com/2r74qz5.jpg

Here I am assuming that the only flags you have to specify at boot are these: Also, I reccomend making a backup of /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist before making these changes. (Just in case, y'know...)

Change to No.

Remove and add PCIRootUID=0 to the <string> section of Kernel Flags.

Reboot!

(By the way, would you mind putting files like org.chameleon.Boot.plist between [code] tags instead of taking a screenshot? It's easier to read and modify.)

Yeah, sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't tho. I might not be typing the right commands in at boot. ^_^ I don't know, all I know is that Hackintosh Lion is a bit more complicating to get to boot up than Snow Leopard was. I know it's probably simple when I find the command that my pc wants it to use. Okay, I just saved my file in Jedit, I'll let you know if it works.

Nope, didn't work.

UseKernelCache must be uppercase.

Oh, I never knew that I seen someone else post it with a lowercase k and that is why I never used lower-case k. Also, I updated back to 10.7.3 because the official Nvidia drivers from Apple work alot better than hacked drivers for 10.7.2 for my gtx 570. :p

Also, no more random freezes in Mac Google Chrome. It works how its suppose to now, probably because of the correct graphics card drivers for 10.7.3.

What does it mean when my Mac Lion operating system boots up only when I shut off computer incorrectly, than I turn computer back on and then it boots up fine. I'm guessing that means I'm not using the right command or something.

What do you mean by "...system boots up only when..."? How does it fail? It might help to add -v to the kernel flags so we know what's happening.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HL-E...ature=youtu.be

Oh yeah, another thing I notice about Hackintosh Lion is that sometimes it will not boot up the VOODOO HDA driver properly and sometimes I get no sound... That is also very strange.


Another weird thing I notice on my Hackintosh Lion side, I think my Creative Zen MP3 player takes longer to charge its battery life through the usb on Apple's operating system. I do not know why, that isn't a huge issue tho it would have been nice if it could charge MP3 players as fast as Windows.

Please add -v to the kernel flags so we can know where it's hanging.

Alright, I'm downloading stuff right now so I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks for your help. ^_^

...soooooo... Has there been any progress on 64 bit kernels for Phenoms? Been away awhile... I'm now running Lion on a HackBook Pro in 64 bits, but my desktop is still stuck in 32 bits. I've had to go back to SL so I can use FCPX on the Hack Pro... :'( :'( :'(

c'est ton voodoo qui plante ton système , essayes avec -legacy pmVersion=0 -f -v ,

avec Macdrive de ton win , essayes de le virer . ;)

Can I do the same method installing Lion 10.7.3 dmg as I did with the Itakos L2 dmg? I thought someone sent me a message telling me to use the Itakos L2 dmg for it. You're saying use the official 10.7.3 dmg file? If I replace the finder and kernel on Lion's official 10.7.3. Will it work just like Itakos did?

l'installation avec un dmg retail lion 10.7 fonctionne vraiment très bien avec les processeurs FX mais malheureusement pas avec les K10 .

pas besoin de iatkos ou autre distro pour ce genre d'exercice .Et comme tu peux voir dans le tutorial , les résultats sont plus que concluant en méthode retail sans Multimachin de tonymachintruc ou autre Myhack et unimerde . ;)

Thanks, but your tutorial is in French and google translate is not translating it that good. :-/

Edit: those instructions look like they're for 10.7.4 as well.

:)

ok , je ferais une traduction en anglais ce weekend . ;)

OK guys
 

OK guys im back after a looooong time and i wanna ask before updating my hacintosh 10.6.8 to 10.7 again whether i can run Parallels 7 with it...since it is 32bit capable but installation checks for 64 which is easily bypassed by arch=i386 -force64...

Im not an expert but i guess its something like mine issue when i boot up lion i always get stuck on verbose/apple logo but i can hear skype and everything and i have to restart...then it works fine

Wtf
 

My software update says I'm up to date but I'm on 10.7.2...????

OKAY i found why this happens...its probably a JavaScrypt error since I cannot install ANYTHING thx to failure while evaluating js...

Could somebody pls upload their installer for me :) thx

x project
 

OK guys sry i have a lot of posts after each other but theres nobody here... :D so i have been working on so called x project for 1 mounth which is a project that could load up an os x 10.7 install cd... My custom install dvd has 10 GB as it is now and im gonna throw the first test now...

*EDIT* Ive been up for whole night editing fixing...and i was able to get into language selection screen!!! however it crashed at that point... I am so proud of myself :D also my method which is extremely different than what youd expect eats 6 GBs of ram... I am not gonna release this until its done... but im having progress... X Project wasnt that bad afterwards...

OK guys I didnt sleep another night and i managed to get snow leopard working in full 64 bit mode with my method!!!

*EDIT* 2:OK i made a lot of progress...I was able to boot lion install cd fully working... also i managed to make the size of the ramdisk only 4GB so thats an improvement as well :D no luck on lion 64bit thought

I'm here, but I've all but given up at trying to get my ATI Radeon HD 5670 working with Lion.
