So the folks over at tonymac did not want to help me with this at all since I'm doing it using OS X from a torrent (even though I eventually DO buy OS X once I actually have it installed and running), but anyway. I first tried to install…

I've been helping my brother out for the past couple of days trying to get his first ever desktop running Mac (before he had it on an Acer Aspire One). I installed SL and followed the same steps as the EVGA X58 tutorial, but whenever I…

“I still have not managed to install SL or Lion directly from my machine. My brothers machine was the one that was helping me install SL, but now his doesn't boot to desktop either so we're both stuck. I really want to get this installed cau…”

“Dammit! I had it installed again (except that I could not get it to work with my GTX 560) I installed Chameleon 2.1 and after rebooting, I got the most annoying goddamn error ever. ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start blahblahblah. FML. I can't p…”

“No one knows what's going on? I thought for sure that by the time I got back from vacation I'd have an answer and be able to install it again”

“So recently I tried installing SL on my computer again. I installed it from my brother's Hackintosh and then, after booting into the iAtkos L2 boot loader, I was able to actually boot right into SL. None of my stuff worked. I installed a Re…”

“Did you guys give up on this thread? I really want to install Lion so I can re-install Logic Studio all over again. I had to clone my 160 GB hard drive to an 80 GB, so I had to remove Logic Studio in order to do that, and now I'm stuck with…”

“Follow this guide exactly. iBoot+MultiBeast (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html) After you install the combo update and before using multi-beast as described in the tutorial you need to use DSDT…”

“How could it be my BIOS settings though? I've never had a problem with it before when installing Leopard or Snow Leopard. I have an EVGA X58 SLI LE motherboard.”

“Yeah dude, it is set to AHCI, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to boot into SL. By the way, what version of the BIOS do you have? I've been wanting that AHCI+IDE option... do I have to flash my BIOS or something?”

“sorry that's the wrong section i was meaning your pata/sata configuration page What? The only other page pertaining to PATA/SATA is actually pressing enter to configure the AHCI options. Which is this:”

“Here's my Integrated Peripherals And I have version 6.00.”

“what guide did you follow? boot with -v and get a screen pic if you can so we can see where it freezes I used the guide you posted on page 40, and it's not even that it freezes while loading the installation or anything like that. I'm talki…”

“Holy shit man... even with your Extra folder I STILL cannot install Lion. Once it reaches a certain (or certain points) in the installation, it will choose to either go to a black screen (but not restart completely...), freeze, or a KP with…”

“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!…”

“So has anyone gotten 10.7 installed? I followed the instructions here: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/07/xmove-multibeast-install-os-x-107-lion.html But when it comes to rebooting to the "Installer" partition you make, my computer rebo…”
