I am able to successfully install Lion 10.7.3 and currently using it. I wanted to install Xcode so I wanted an update to 10.7.4. My problem is that after installing the combo update downloaded from mac site, my system would no longer successfully boot to desktop. Everytime I try booting it in verbose, i wont even get to the part where it says "Waitng for DMOS" because i been trying to install mac osx in this pc and getting that part make me think that every changes i made in the system was fine.

I was using Niresh's distro for the lion
FX-6100
Asrock 970 Extreme 3
8gb G.Skills Ram
HD 5770

After installing the update before reboot, i then install
IOUSBFamily.kext
AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext
VoodooHDA.kext
and Repair Permmission with mutibeast 4.6.1

Done this atleast 6times. What do i keep missing or is there another bootflags i have to use? After install, i no longer use bootflags, just "-v" and "-f" incase i wanna see what's going on.

Please shed some light! I would really appreaciate.

I just thought I would tell you that you can get xcode on 10.7.3 by going to apple's developer center(website) and downloading an older version that works for 10.7.3
