How Install OSX Lion on PC

What we need:

installer not working, i'm pretty sure i followed the instructions carefully.

when i boot using my USB:
Boot0: GPT
Boot0: testing
Boot0: testing
Boot0: done.J

then nothing will happen.

when i tried to boot from my snow bootloader it only restart after loading from verbose/single/force.

Something is gone wrong in making bootable USb ....

The steps i follow exactly are
Use PC-EFI 10.6 to initialize boot flag on USB
Use Chameleon to create Bootable menu on USB
Use Extra_Lion package to create extra folder on USB ...

Verify that mach_kernel file is in / root folder of USB and /Extra folder of USB
Verify that boot file is in / folder

Give me a report if you resolve ...

i already re-install the PC-EFI 10.6, Chameleon, Extra_Lion to my usb disk but still the same problem.

Hey thanks brotha !

Was just wondering to enable Dual Boot I just have to set Lion partition as active then repair Win 7 MBR n voila am Dual Booting right ?

And are there any incompatibilities or is everything good so far ?

Need to know because I'll be installing it on my home SERVER !

Thanks again !

Hi,
Ok, try this: use a newer version of Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r947
download on http://www.kexts.com
Tthis should resolve your error :
Boot0: GPT
Boot0: testing
Boot0: testing
Boot0: done.J

hey man, finally installation is now working, but again got this stuck on this after installing and required to restart:



i also installed the extra_lion and chameleon on my lionHD using Snow, but still hangs.

EDIT:

Tried adding following kernel flag : npci=0x2000

give me this:
WARNING - ACPI_SMC_CtrlLoop::initCPUCtrlLoop - no sub-config match for MacBookPro4,1 with 4 p-states, using default stepper instead

any ideas?

Hellou, can enybody tell, what's going wrong...

When I boot my pc laptop from usb lion stick, it's go and go and go...
and then, it stop and reboot again...(see the picture, when)??

SORRY MY BAD ENGLISH!!

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.

Do I need to use a Hackintosh running Mac Os X to create Lion.dmg or can I use an actual Mac machine? I have a PowerMac running Leopard.
