Yeah, sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't tho. I might not be typing the right commands in at boot. I don't know, all I know is that Hackintosh Lion is a bit more complicating to get to boot up than Snow Leopard was. I know it's probably simple when I find the command that my pc wants it to use. Okay, I just saved my file in Jedit, I'll let you know if it works.

Nope, didn't work.

UseKernelCache must be uppercase.

Oh, I never knew that I seen someone else post it with a lowercase k and that is why I never used lower-case k. Also, I updated back to 10.7.3 because the official Nvidia drivers from Apple work alot better than hacked drivers for 10.7.2 for my gtx 570.

Also, no more random freezes in Mac Google Chrome. It works how its suppose to now, probably because of the correct graphics card drivers for 10.7.3.

OK guys im back after a looooong time and i wanna ask before updating my hacintosh 10.6.8 to 10.7 again whether i can run Parallels 7 with it...since it is 32bit capable but installation checks for 64 which is easily bypassed by arch=i386 -force64...

What does it mean when my Mac Lion operating system boots up only when I shut off computer incorrectly, than I turn computer back on and then it boots up fine. I'm guessing that means I'm not using the right command or something.

What do you mean by "...system boots up only when..."? How does it fail? It might help to add -v to the kernel flags so we know what's happening.

Oh yeah, another thing I notice about Hackintosh Lion is that sometimes it will not boot up the VOODOO HDA driver properly and sometimes I get no sound... That is also very strange.


Another weird thing I notice on my Hackintosh Lion side, I think my Creative Zen MP3 player takes longer to charge its battery life through the usb on Apple's operating system. I do not know why, that isn't a huge issue tho it would have been nice if it could charge MP3 players as fast as Windows.

Please add -v to the kernel flags so we can know where it's hanging.

Alright, I'm downloading stuff right now so I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
