First of all, is it possible? I've read a los of pages of this thread, I promise but I'm beginner in this field.

Could someone explain me any steps to start to work it?

Saying me if this post should be in other thread please.

Sorry for my English. Thank you very much!

If you want to run XCode 4 I recommend installing 10.6.8 and XCode 4 for 10.6.8 and then updating iOS SDK 5.1 on it. Send me a PM and I can help you install XCode 4 and iOS SDK 5.1 after you get 10.6.8 running. It is stable, I use it as my daily OS, haven't booted into Windows 7 for a while now...only boot into Windows 7 to work on partitions.

Is anybody else experiencing constant HD activity? Not sure if it's writing but all that activity is not good/safe for SSD

Also, after a few minutes if I try to run certain apps they stay bouncing on the dock and never open. (apps like Software Update, TextEdit, and others. Tasks like copying using Finder also hangs. Finder.app could be the cause of this? Im using the 32-bit version from DP2)

You probably haven't patched xpchelper. If you read back through the thread you'll find instructions. Unless you already did that and it's something else entirely lol

I remember something about the zz folder, flag nouchg? Do I have to do it every time I boot? uhm...

EDIT: I forgot to do it after I upgraded with Update Combined 10.7.4 (could that have caused it to reset it?)

I don't recall whether or not I had to do it again after the Combo Update, but I'd say it'd be worth a shot haha

The apps not launching and copy/paste function was all related to xpchelper for me.

I had a 2nd one I hadn't uchg'd... Problem solved! Thanks for the reminder!

I delelted the 2nd one, and created a blank file, then did the chflags uchg on it. Everything working as expected.

EDIT: Ok, so I fixed the issue with xpchelper, but now I still have the HD light going berzerk! I have a feeling this is killing my SSD ....fast!

10.7.3 with v6 kernel wasn't doing this, but I can't boot 10.7.4 with v6 kernel, I get ___kernel___ errors... Any clues?

Hey guys, anyone with 10.7.4 and v6 kernel flagged the cache, deleted the report crash and still can't copy/move/delete/empty trash? Can anyone help me? I did the whole uchg flags on xpchelper cache and deleted the crash report files, didn't help...

has anyone tried the lion kernel for mountain lion??

How can I find out what is hammering my harddrive? I checked "ps aux" and all seems normal. I can "df" a few times in a minute and see my free space go down. I have installed 10.7.4 twice but had to restore to 10.7.3.. I did CCC'd it onto a 2.5" sata drive, which I will be using for testing. I don't want to mess up my SSD.

EDIT: I installed SONAR FILE MONITOR and there is NOTHING showing up while the HD light blinks non-stop. I disabled Spotlight completely. I even emptied the /var/log and /Library/Log folders and I chflags uchg them and the blinking doesn't stop! UGH!

EDIT 2: Well I just found out my 10.7.3 install started doing it also. And when I booted 10.7.4 it wasn't doing it. I will capture everything I can (ps, top, etc etc) in both scenarios and compare it to see what could be causing this...
