"mac os x can't be installed on this computer"
this guide has help me the most than any other guide. did all the steps listed.
only deviations is Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r947_VS [from kexts.org] instead of Chameleon 2.0 RC5 -755.pkg
i'm using a dell xps 420. ich9r
and i was using kalyway 10.5.2 install to do all the prep work.
i read that..

I had the same issue as you. Once i read your update I realized that the installer was looking at your smbios.plist. You need to change it from MacBookPro4,1. I have mine set to an iMac. I just copied mine from my original Snow Leopard, and I have booted up to the Lion welcome install screen.
EDIT: Successfully installed Lion! Just had to copy my original SL smbios.plist and com.apple.boot.plist file over to get it to boot properly.

i'm not using SL as noted above but the 10.5.2 kalyway. so i can't copy my existing boot.plist. BTW the lion installer i download has a prohibition sign (/) over it, i'm guessing since i'm running 10.5.2 so it won't let me run it.
so can i download the boot.plist of a SL and replace it? or can i edit the boot.plist to say MacBookPro4,1?
PLEASE HELP. i've been at this for almost a week =\
