How to Update from 10.6.8 To Lion ?, Please Help !
Hey guys !
I know this has already been asked but I thought I would try anyway ! I got an ASUS Laptop currently Dual-Booting Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 / MacOSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard by method of customized myHack/Chameleon BootLoader ! What I want to know is can I update to MacOSX 10.7 Lion once final version is out, and how ? Is there a guide anywhere ? Am asking this now so once Lion is out I wouldn't have to deplete my limited internet looking for guides. Anyway thanks for all your hard work guys ! Peace Out ! |

This might be a bit problematic. Apple is aiming to deliver Lion as an AppStore update from 10.6.8 only. Since the procedure is rather new, it might be a problem, and believe me you'd be better up with a clean install anyway.
I'm sure some stand-alone installers will crop out very soon ( i myself find it ridiculous not to have a stand-alone installer...very bad move Apple ) but still, it'll take some time. So for now, i guess you have to wait or try the Developer Preview version. There are some pretty decent tutorials in 10.7 section of our forum. Sorry i can't be more helpful, but since it's not yet available, there's not much to know about. Be sure that once it's out, it'll be covered here :-) www.ultimae.com Panoramic music, for panoramic people.

Hi,
the OSX Lion is out ... on July 20th I can confirm you can upgrade Snow Leopard from 10.6.6-10.6.8 version to 10.7 easily ... Steps 1) Download OSX Lion 10.7 (11A511 = retail version) find it on the net .... 2) Unpack installESD.dmg -> there are a lot of guides on net 3) Create a bootable USB pen with OSX Lion+Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - 755+ OSinstall.mpkg patched for MBR + some Kexts (fakesmc.kext , NullCPUpowermanager.kext) 4) Boot USB pen and install over SL 5) Start with USB pen and install Chameleon on partition 6) Install Kexts on S/L/E 7) Reboot Enjoy PippoX0 iMac: Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.6 (iDeneb v1.4) - CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 @ 2.0Ghz - MB: ECS P4M890T-M2 - RAM: 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz - Ethernet: RTL8139 - Audio: Realtek ALC662 - Video: nVidia Geforce 7300 512Mb - HDD: 320Gb SATA2 - DVD-RW: SONY DVD RW AW-G170A Last edited by pippox0; 07-21-2011 at 02:54 PM. |

Hi,
Lion Gm is lion retail, so ... No problem ... Upgrade can be done successfully installing over the mac osx snow leo. You must use a Chameleon which can read snow leo and lion ( from 2.0-RC5-r752 and higher). The kexts are hardware specific, so i indicate the minimum ones ... Look my other post Qe/ci depends on video card (your Ati radeon 4870 is supported) Put GraphicsEnabler=Yes on com.apple.boot.plist iMac: Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.6 (iDeneb v1.4) - CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 @ 2.0Ghz - MB: ECS P4M890T-M2 - RAM: 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz - Ethernet: RTL8139 - Audio: Realtek ALC662 - Video: nVidia Geforce 7300 512Mb - HDD: 320Gb SATA2 - DVD-RW: SONY DVD RW AW-G170A |
