you'll have to delete the ati frame buffer files if you can't boot with -x for the system to startup

So has anyone gotten 10.7 installed?

I followed the instructions here: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/...-107-lion.html But when it comes to rebooting to the "Installer" partition you make, my computer reboots.

im just going to qoute airwalk. i havnt tried installing Lion yet because i been pretty busy community organizing.

Is using Chameleon 755 going to make a difference though? I got Chimera for all this, and it gets to the installer just fine, starts installing, and sometimes (either at 18 minutes remaining, 12 or 9) it'll freeze or reboot and just... ugh!

I can never ffffing reach the end of it.

I followed the tonymac guide except for one change, before booting into the Installed partition I booted back into my SL partition and copied my /Extra to Installation folder(DSDT, Extensions, all that).

After that, Lion installed just fine and everything has been working great. I did use an ALC 889 patcher which for the life of me I can't relocate, it was on the tonymac forums though.

i have it running fine, go back to page 40 and read my post, i have an updated extras folder as well if anyone needs it

hey jaE-V, good lookin out for the EVGA x58 hackintosh community. Can you post up the updated EXTRA folder? ill update the first post soon.

As soon as i get home tonight it will be up! There's also a new smbios as well...installation was a breeze

here you go guys

Remember grab the ionetworking family kext from 10.6 installation and install after your up and running for your ethernet ports..you can delete my card from the device section in the boot.plist

Version of chameleon i'm running

I followed this guide but used a different method to do things and it boots up a gray screen with an Apple logo and a circle loader but then it says "hold the power button to restart"...:(

I installed Kalyway onto an external hdd so I can boot into an osx to do this hacking on.

Basically I don't have a retail disc so I tried a retail dmg to grab the OSInstall.mpkg but that shouldnt matter.

dsdt.aml is just the default one from airwalk I couldn't find what "rtc" the original post was talking about.

evga x58 (not sure if exact biosversion/mobomodel is compatible)
