Como Instalar o OS X Lion no PC

Then I copied /boot file from my USB install stick to / and I was able proceed after 'Waiting for DSMOS' message but from a text mode Chameleon...

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Chameleon didn't work with this /boot file, I used Chimera bootloader from Muiltibeast 3.8.0.

Well, at least I don't need the USB stick anymore. ^_^

@simakwmThen I copied /boot file from my USB install stick to / and I was able proceed after 'Waiting for DSMOS' message but from a text mode Chameleon... Well, at least I don't need the USB stick anymore. ^_^

Congrats bro,:)

this is the only fix when i encountered any error in boot up on my HDD,

a. Install Extra_Lion.pkg to HDD b. Install Chameleon 2.0 RC5 -755.pkg to HDD c. Install PCEFI 10.6 Lion+Snow.pkg to HDD After installing "a , b, c" on my Flash drive i always create a folder "Extensions" inside /Extra , and i paste (ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext, fakesmc.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext)

by the way this is my Chameleon settings in system preferences , this settings boot my machine like a real MAC MACHINES :

lion

where exactly is Chameleon, so that run it and change my boot.

"mac os x can't be installed on this computer"

this guide has help me the most than any other guide. did all the steps listed.

only deviations is Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r947_VS [from kexts.org] instead of Chameleon 2.0 RC5 -755.pkg
i'm using a dell xps 420. ich9r
and i was using kalyway 10.5.2 install to do all the prep work.

i read that..

I had the same issue as you. Once i read your update I realized that the installer was looking at your smbios.plist. You need to change it from MacBookPro4,1. I have mine set to an iMac. I just copied mine from my original Snow Leopard, and I have booted up to the Lion welcome install screen. EDIT: Successfully installed Lion! Just…

i'm not using SL as noted above but the 10.5.2 kalyway. so i can't copy my existing boot.plist. BTW the lion installer i download has a prohibition sign (/) over it, i'm guessing since i'm running 10.5.2 so it won't let me run it.

so can i download the boot.plist of a SL and replace it? or can i edit the boot.plist to say MacBookPro4,1?

PLEASE HELP. i've been at this for almost a week =\

thanxs great tutorial

this is my first time installing SL and Lion and it was everything thanks to you, and some google. the only thing i don't know if i did it right was once your done with the installation. i use multi beast so i wouldn't have to be booting from
the usb pen. because i didn't know what else to do.

@framesx2xwhere exactly is Chameleon, so that run it and change my boot.

This what i do when i put extra OSInstall.mpkg in /System/Installation/Packages, i also put Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r755-Lion, Extra Lion.pkg, PCEFI 10.6 Lion+Snow.pkg

and after all installation completed you can see in your System Preperences chameleon like this.

This one fix simakwm you might also try this.

Try to start again from 1st step

Start Mac Os X Leo /Snow Leo 0. Create OSX Lion for Hackintosh ------------------------ a. Download Lion GM/Retail (11A511 ) b. find InstallESD.dmg -> "Install Mac Os X Lion.app/Contents/ShareSupport" Open and mount InstallESD.dmg Show HiddenFiles -> here got oes.org/sales/ShowHiddenFilesMacOSX/ Find BaseSystem.dmg inside…

1. Create Bootable USB pen with OSX Lion -------------------------------------------------------------- a. With Disk Utility erase USB pen GUID + HFS+ journaled rename it "OSX Lion Boot" b. With Disk Utility restore Lion.dmg to USB Pen

and don't forget to do this:

a. Install Extra_Lion.pkg to USB Flash Drive b. Install Chameleon 2.0 RC5 -755.pkg to USB Flash Drive c. Install PCEFI 10.6 Lion+Snow.pkg to USB Flash Drive After installing "a , b, c" on my Flash drive i always create a folder "Extensions" inside /Extra , and i paste (ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext, fakesmc.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext)

suceesss

so it works...FYI the installer didn't see my drives at first but i go a patched ioatafamily.kext, and that fix it.

i went through the post install stuff. but chameleon didn't show up under prefferences. and i couldn't boot from HDD. end up getting multibeast, that fix the HDD boot problem.

Using iBoot legacy and DVD burned with Lion it won't start installation. Using -x -v, got error like in attached image. Do I need an updated version of iBoot (or iBoot legacy) ?

@analotThis what i do when i put extra OSInstall.mpkg in /System/Installation/Packages, i also put Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r755-Lion, Extra Lion.pkg, PCEFI 10.6 Lion+Snow.pkg and after all installation completed you can see in your System Preperences chameleon like this.

help…

I tried to follow the steps in this tutorial and on selecting the lion install partition , i am stuck at a white screen with mouse scroll animation . (Image attached)

I am not using an USB, but an internel partition. Also as my laptop (Samsung q430) does not work with 10.6.6 or above, I did all the steps mentioned in the thread from 10.6.0 retail

I do not think I would prefer it to detect any interface.
Try starting with the external USB keyboard and mouse.

Try this method.
Note when you erase your USB drive use MBR instead of GUID partition.

But the Apple Logo doesn't come..
With -v GraphicsEnabler=No it works but I have finally a blackscreen because I installed already the kext.

Hi, I followed this guide to the letter and I think I've done everything correctly. But when I boot, it loads every thing and then it shows me a blank/gray screen with the cursor on the top-left corner.
I can move it and all but that's it, I think that's the screen where it's supposed to tell that the installer is loading and then ask me for the language.

I think you can install Snow Leopard or if you want Leopard. Leopard works probably better.

Hello, following this guide and all goes well until during boot it stops with following error.

BootCacheController : Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlists: 2 No such file or directory
Bug: launchctl .c:2488 (24957) :30: (dbfd = open(g_job_overrides_db_path, 0_RDONLY | O_CREAT, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR)) |= -1

Intel E8400
Nvidia 8800 GTS 640mb
4gb ram (installed)
No other drives or pci slots occupied.

OK check the bios and it was set to use pci as first display, changed this to peg and rebooted.

This time i got it to boot to the installer, trouble is now it is telling me that Lion cannot be installed on this computer?

what have i missed?

install error

I get as far as choosing language: English, and then get an installation error. The install log shows Dyld Error Message: Symbol not found: _OSProductManagerProductCookiefileName
Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/* /Mac OS X Installer .app/Contents/MacOS/Mac OS X Installer
Expected in: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install .framework/Frameworks/OSInstall .framework/Versions/A/OSInstall

Any thoughts on this missing symbol?

my system

Forgot to say:
I'm on a Dell Optiplex 755, with a FoxConn mobo (not sure of type, but the label says LS36), GPU Asus geforce 210 1GB 64bit

I didn't need to recreate the whole pen drive -- I just had to find the osinstall files for 10.7.2 and put them in their places. And then it could begin installing.

But now I'm stuck again.

The install starts with about "20 minutes remaining" and proceeds nicely until "6 minutes remaining" where it gets stuck for a long time before finally saying it can't continue and that I should contact the software vendor.

Would this be related to that third kext (ElliotForce...) which I did NOT install?

Or maybe because I skipped a step in your guide: you say to create a image and title it lion and restore the basesystem into it -- I went ahead and restored basesystem onto my pen drive and did the editing of the contents directly on the drive. As I continued through your guide I saw that you meant for the first LION image to be on the desktop? and after doing the editing to restore it to the pen drive. Do you think this makes much difference?

I got it

I went back and followed the procedures exactly as you've written them, except for using a later version of chameleon.

And I got in!

But not much was working, so I started with Multibeast and Using Kext helper I installed a Kext for intel Ethernet. But on restart I couldn't even get to the sign in screen. It said it failed to load Kext com.apple.driver.AppleRTC

So now I'm just starting over with the reinstall of the OS

In the future, when I try a Kext that breaks my hackintosh, is there a way to get back in there and undo the changes without having to reinstall everything? Thanks!

Hi. first of all, excuse my English.

I want to install lion in a DELL OPTIPLEX 760, the same as yours, but i haven't a hackintosh snow leopard, i have a imac with lion (my computer home). It's possible?.

Thnk you!.

Can you tell me where you found the OSInstall files for 10.7.2? Nawcom's site is down and I can't find the files anywhere!

how to get 1680*1050

I followed the instruction and installed Lion to Optiplex 760. It works very well and I have upgraded to 10.7.2.
The only issue that trouble me is the graphic card. I can get 1280x1024 without problem by modifying the file of com.apple.Boot.plist. But the best experience of my monitor is 1680x1050. Even if I set 1680x1050, I can only get 1280x1024. Can anyone give me any idea on how to solve this problem? Do we have drivers for GMA 4500?

Alex

Many thanks for your reply. I am going to buy a graphic card for Optiplex 760. What's your recommendation then?

I think I will only use it to watch some movies or surf the internet and I won't use it to play game. So a low end graphic card should be enough to me. My main concern is how Lion supports to this card.

How about Nvida G210 / G240?

(Sorry if it is beyond the topic. )

Alex

@pippox0i have Optiplex 760 too and i have 1280x1024 resolution, no QE/CI . Until Now there is no solution for graphic card intel GMA 4500.:( When i will find a working Kext (64bit ) almost which enables changing resolution , i will post it here ... PippoX0

Hi, I have purchased XFX GT240 512M DDR5. And installed it on my Dell Optiplex 760. It works great.

Keyboard: Razer Lycosa
Mouse: Razer Lachesis

And i'm using a USB HDD for booting Lion (Maxtor 250GB)

files

why on earth did you copy those files ? there for snow leopard... this is lion not snow dude it might be because you copied those files .

can you tell us why you copied those files as i didnt see it in the guide on the first post .. was it in a later post that i have not yet seen saying to copy them over from Snow To Lion

Because I got KP like first guy's.

I have successfully installed Lion by restoring default OSinstall

foohey

do you mean the .mpkg .pkg or the black icon thingy ?

@bobertdo you mean the .mpkg .pkg or the black icon thingy ?

"Graphics Mode"="1024x600" or "GraphicsEnabler"="No" at chameleon boot screen? someone please help, i type only -v and it loads Everything but i see pcirootuid value set to 0 and i see mach_kernel loaded should i download and add the mach_atom_kernel to the pen drive or external hdd that im using and type in at chameleon boot screen

-v mach_atom_kernel arch=i386 ?

In case anyone doesn't know, Nawcom's blog is back up and here's the link to the OSInstall files for 10.7.2:

Black Screen on Almost-Successful Boot

I followed these instructions a slightly different way, just because I couldn't "repair the permissions" of Lion.dmg (Disk Utility and Command Line method). What I did was:

1. Restore BaseSystem.dmg to USB Drive
2. Delete "Packages" alias and copy "Packages" from InstallESD.dmg
3. Copy kexts and install pkgs as directed

Everything seems to boot fine, as it appears to be loading all the kexts. Then the dead end: It'll just stop booting and give me a black screen. : What went wrong with the boot process? If it has to do with something I did during the setup process, then I guess I could backtrack and do it again. Thanks for all your help and thanks for this awesome guide!

Additional Details:
Model: ASUS Eee PC 1000HE
Current OS: Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8
I also wasn't able to "repair the permissions" of the USB flash drive. On both the .dmg and the flash drive, the button would be greyed-out...

UPDATE: So I went a little deeper into the thread, and on page 2, sargatanas recommended installing a different version of Chameleon. I installed this on the USB drive, but the boot process was the same: It would load kexts and misc. files, then just black out.
UPDATE 2: The black screen is gone, but now I have the same problem as neophyter back on page 1, where the PC reboots right before setup. I followed sargatanas's instructions on page 2, but had no luck. Since I'm on an Intel Atom CPU, I replaced the stock mach_kernel with nawcom's Intel Atom kernel. This also didn't help me with my reboot problem.

Need Help!!!

I try to install OS X Lion on my Optiplex 745 Core 2 Duo 3.0 for weeks now, but every time i end up with a black screen after booting from USB.
I have tryed mutiple bootloaders, flags, and all other option i could find but still no working Hackintosh!

The last line before reboot says " Starting Darwin x86_64" .

What am i missing?

Can someone help me?

I installed iAtkos l2 via the insanelymac tutorial, everything seems fine until i hit the usb part... If I turn off usb legacy in bios I can't use my keyboard, the kernel flag doesn't help, the trick with pulling the keyboard after u press enter doesn't help either... I changed usb kexts, still no change... Can someone help me pls? (more info in the photo, the interesting part is that i can type in verboose)

Thank so much

Although I have tried a lot of time according to the instructions from tonymacx blog multiple times, anything does not work for me. But in this, I can install successfully in my first try.

clear and simple instruction! : : :

i tried for 5 days now to make this work. should have never started. i went through every possible scenario and always get the same message in the end.

BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory

i changed everything accribically to the instructions. tried updated chameleons worked it over and over again. of course nowhere in the forum there is my issue popping up. in fact nowhere in any forum there is that issue with the
bootcache showing up. As usual and always i have a unique problem and cant make it work no matter what i do.
i knew that no one can and will EVER make Snow leopard or Lion work on a IBM/Lenovo z61t. When i initially wrote this i knew the answer because no one ever usccessfully was able to instal a hackintosh on a IBM lenovo machine. They are all {censored} magically protected or whatever. About to give up. I cant belive that i lost 5 days doing this. No one can install hackintosh on a IBM levnovo Labtop. The ones who claim it are lying…

thx for the help anyway…
