How Install OSX Lion on PC

What we need:
a) an Intel Core2 Duo computer ( mine Optiplex 760)
b) an USB pen (8 Gb is fine )
c) an Hackintosh running Mac Os X to create Lion.dmg and USB Pen.

Start Mac Os X Leo /Snow Leo

0. Create OSX Lion for Hackintosh
------------------------
a. Download Lion GM/Retail (11A511 )
b. find InstallESD.dmg -> "Install Mac Os X Lion.app/Contents/ShareSupport"
Open and mount InstallESD.dmg
Show HiddenFiles -> here http://gotoes.org/sales/ShowHiddenFilesMacOSX/
Find BaseSystem.dmg inside InstallESD.dmg
Mount BaseSystem.dmg
c. Using Disk utility create an new immage.dmg DVD 4,6 Gb read and write , rename like Lion.dmg
d. Using Disk utility restore BaseSystem.dmg on new image Lion.dmg
e. mount Lion.dmg and rename volume like OSX LION
Delete packages link inside /System/installation
Copy Packages folder from InstallESD.dmg to Lion.dmg inside /System/Installation/ folder
f. Copy needed Kexts on Lion.dmg inside /System/Library/Extentions
*fakesmc.kext
* nullCPUPowermanagenent.kext
* ElliotForceLegacyRTC.kext -> this only if you experience Bios reset

Copy Mach_Kernel from InstallESD.dmg to Lion.dmg
Copy OSinstall.mpkg patched for MBR inside /System/Installation/Packages
Copy OSinstall. patched for MBR inside /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/OSinstall.framwork/Versions/A folder

h. Install Chameleon 2.0 RC5 -755.pkg on Lion.dmg -> here http://www.mediafire.com/?67ixrw6tjl55949
Create a folder Postinstallation on Lion.dmg and copy the two pkg and the three kexts
i. With Disk Utility repair permission on Lion.dmg

installer not working, i'm pretty sure i followed the instructions carefully.

when i boot using my USB:
Boot0: GPT
Boot0: testing
Boot0: testing
Boot0: done.J

then nothing will happen.

when i tried to boot from my snow bootloader it only restart after loading from verbose/single/force.

Something is gone wrong in making bootable USb ....

The steps i follow exactly are
Use PC-EFI 10.6 to initialize boot flag on USB
Use Chameleon to create Bootable menu on USB
Use Extra_Lion package to create extra folder on USB ...

Verify that mach_kernel file is in / root folder of USB and /Extra folder of USB
Verify that boot file is in / folder

Give me a report if you resolve ...

i already re-install the PC-EFI 10.6, Chameleon, Extra_Lion to my usb disk but still the same problem.

Hi,
Ok, try this: use a newer version of Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r947
download on http://www.kexts.com
Tthis should resolve your error :
Boot0: GPT
Boot0: testing
Boot0: testing
Boot0: done.J

hey man, finally installation is now working, but again got this stuck on this after installing and required to restart:



i also installed the extra_lion and chameleon on my lionHD using Snow, but still hangs.

EDIT:

Tried adding following kernel flag : npci=0x2000

give me this:
WARNING - ACPI_SMC_CtrlLoop::initCPUCtrlLoop - no sub-config match for MacBookPro4,1 with 4 p-states, using default stepper instead

any ideas?

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.

[sargatanas]

i dont have smbios.plist on my snow leopard, i have only com.apple.boot.plist on extra folder,

i already tried changing the smbios.plist to "MacBookPro4,1 and iMac9,1" still not loading.

and also copied my SL com.apple.boot.plist to Lion extra folder it only changes the boot screen.

what seems to be the problem?

EDIT:

FINALLY! got it running!



woohoo!
