Wow, v5 is out!
Fix for old 1 core AMD cpus

Yes, could you also PM me with those instructions?

Anyone here working in getting LION on a VM? This is my primary usage...

Why instructions via PMs?

Post them here, please.

Well, It's not finished. I will post them up when I finished the write up. EDIT: Formatted, it's being currently being approved on Insanely.

As for iCloud not working it's because we're using a self-compiled kernel meaning we won't be able to use it.

Does xpchelper still crash with the latest kernels?

Hi,

I have an existing Snow Leopard installation and am interested in installing/upgrading to OS X Lion. I followed your guide step by step, but every time I try to boot from my Lion partition, it instantly reboots the PC. During the post-installation phase, I didn't quite understand you when you said, "Install Chameleon using Chameleon Wizard on the harddrive." So I went ahead and used my existing bootloader to try and boot Lion, of course with your boot flags. I also tried using a USB stick to boot from it, but no success. Could the existing bootloader be the problem, and if it is, should I attempt to find the previously explained "Chameleon wizard" to install the proper one, then use fdisk to make my Lion partition my active one?

Thanks,
Lacedaemon

Hello! Did you replace the mach_kernel file in the root of the installed Lion partition? If your machine reboots without showing any verbose (after kexts are loaded on screen and kicks into the system boot, your machine is either unsupported or your using wrong mach_kernel.

Try v5 or the one at the bottom (of the 5, the oldest one), but shouldn't make a difference. Charmeleon Wizard is a program you can get for Mac (Snow Leopard/Lion) that installs the latest version of Charmeleon (or update), with ease. It's a small application that downloads the latest trunk build and then even does the dirty work for you.

But, reading from that you need to replace mach_kernel. Open your Snow Leopard partition OR macdrive and replace the mach_kernel (it will be hidden, use showallfiles) on your Lion partition.

Thanks for replying, lunfai. Yes, I did replace the mach_kernel with the one in your guide, and the system did in fact list a bunch of kexts before rebooting. I'll go ahead and try the different kernels you described and report back. Thanks again!
