Hey, I have an HP Pavilion Elite m9510f, and when I try to install any form of OS X, whether iAtkos, iDeneb, or whatever, either my disk doesn't show up in the installer, or disk utility, or it fails while trying to install. This time, with my slightly tweaked Lion retail dmg, the only volume that appears in disk utility is the USB drive that I booted from. I've tried playing with the dsdt.aml file, but I don't think I did it right, so I don't know if that's how I need to fix it or what needs to be done. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Either you don't have your hdds set to AHCI mode, or you are lacking the proper kext for your chipset.
