Maybe there're some kexts which aren't compatible with your hardwares
Have you tried to modify the S/L/E and also unpack the extensions.mkext to remove the uncompatible kexts and add the current working ones from Snow-Leo

If you have a spare partition,
you can try to install the lion from your current working Snow-Leo by running the OSInstall.mpkg

or you can try to install it on a VM (recommended: VirtualBox)

Ok, I will try with VirtualBox (I was trying with Parallels and I couldn't install it because of the license agreement)

And I will make a 8GB partition to dump Mac OS X Lion on it.

Thanks mate!

None of the methods worked, same reboot when Starting Darwin X86 appeared

Looks like the problem is on the oldie AM2 processors, I see that the only cpus that are working are AM3 (Athlon II and greater)

after three days of bad luck

after installing retail 10.6.3
mac refuses to update to 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 dmg
:P
i did new install after updating gfx card and bios of MB
and since this cant update to 10.6.7 to install 10.7

i think may it is from bootloader latest ver !!

any way i will stop tries till bronzovka
make the kernel works with install DVD hope he do it soon OR i will make more tries when i get free time

bronzovka hope you share kernel src with other developer so we can get the best kernel

Hopefully Hazard makes a distro for Lion with Amd support. I'm kind of dumb and the only version of Mac I've gotten to work is Hazard Snow Leopard's version. Would be nice for me to update to Mac Lion because you know sooner or later Apple will stop giving software support for those of us on Snow Leopard.
