I'm not sure where my reply went. Is there a lag for it to appear in the forum?

Anyways, let me retype this.

congrats on getting lion compiled and working, rawx86!

i cannot for the life of me, figure out how to get the kernel into the .vdi (which is an already working osx image) nor the .iso image(the modified install iso). With the ,vdi, I got inside it with VBoxManage hdshowinfo to get the offset, and then "losetup" to create a loop device to see the partition table. The table was an GPT table which parted is supposed to be able to read but can't.
I gave up on that one, and tried the ISO. I can mount the ISO after running kpartx on it because there is an apple and hfs+ partition. Recreating that is not straightforward. It's easy to use mkisofs on a single partition, but i want to leave the other ones intact.

How are you doing it? with a mac? I'm trying to do all of this from a Linux host.
Cheers,
