Ok, an update... On 32-bit OS X Lion I have installed everything I have on my OS X Snow Leopard except 2 things (well, 3...)

Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Installer starts but quits at the beginning.. 64-bits?)
Final Cut Pro X (64-bits)
Xcode 4.3.2 (I installed Xcode 4.2.1 which is 32-bits)

If we get the SSSE3 emulator I think we are golden!

In RE: to the HD activity, it is a hit & miss situation for me. If when I boot OS X Lion I get HD activity on the login screen I simply reboot the machine and usually the 2nd time around it has no HD activity. I compared on both occasions with and without hd activity "dmesg" and "ps aux" and only difference were in dmesg on the one without HD activity there was an fsck_hd ran... I am still trying to figure out if this is the case always. Will let you all know later..

EDIT: I copied all the Adobe stuff on /Applications and from /Library/Application Support and I got Photoshop CS 4 working. So I would only be missing 1 app which I never really use (Final Cut Pro X) I think I can use this OS X Lion as my daily OS.. Nice... Good job RAW X86! Your 10.7.4 Kernel seems to be holding pretty good on 32-bits and my AMD Phenom II X4!

I haven't yet read through all of the 100 pages lol.

But has anyone managed to get this installed and running on a VM?

Yes , i did run Lion in VirtualBox

I've currently got 10.6.8 running perfectly in VirtualBox, on an AMD Phenom II system.
However, I've scoured the net and grabbed everything I can find, including several bootloaders (Chimera 1.9.2-1, etc.) and Lion all-in-one images (iATKOS_L2, and Niresh12495-Lion-10.7.3-V2).

For the life of me I cannot get anywhere with Lion on VirtualBox.

Please, ham4ever, could you write a quick howto, or link to where you got your information from.

Thank you,

check PM and goodluck

Could you PM me the instructions too?

I have no issues getting 10.6.8 to work in a VM but I couldn't get lion either.

Thanks

i installed lion on an external hd via macbook, replaced the kernel with "bronzovkAnVoodoo_0_9_26",
i was able to successfully boot into lion desktop with command "-legacy -v arch=i386 npic=0x3000"
but the finder seems to be not working, i tried the dp2 finder, no luck either...
i've got 9800 gt, it was natively supported in 10.6.7 on my hackpro, i got full resolution, but everything seems to be very flashy...

can you please give me any suggestion for what to do to make my 10.7.4 work? thanks a lot in advance!

Could you send me the information as well. I did not manage it to install it on VB.

Regards, Samoth

Bro, PM me too. I can't run Lion using VMware8 on my AMD ATHLON II P360 x64 aswell.. ii always get the issue,
ii even edited the .vmx file as some forums said regarding that issue.. but did not work.. my virtualization is also enabled..

I am 100% sure it is possible



AAAAnd wastez...is it possible to boot 64 bit if you have SSE3 supported but you dont have bulldozer(AMD FX) CPU?
