fallen00sniper Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Will do, thanks for all the help, hopefully tomorrow I will have something running and questions on getting it 100% stable. Before I actually start, for when I do start installing on my other hard drive, if I chose to install Lion first then windows, etc. how would I get the bootloader back to chameleon?

Administrators Hervé Posted January 23, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2013 After windows installation, if you don't see the Cham bootloader, use 'diskpart' command line utility to re-activate the Mac OS partition as explained in blog entry on OSXL web site main page.

fallen00sniper Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ok I know how to do that, I thought Cham installed to the MBR. Alright see you guys once I am ready for the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen00sniper Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Ok, finally got VMware to work with the image I've had, just had to re-extract it and use my older version 8.x since my new one 9.x wouldn't work with the virtualization bypass. So, hopefully tomorrow or tonight I will finally get into the nitty gritty of getting this laptop 100% with your knowledge and expert advice, thanks again for creating this site, I for one would be lost without it. I take that back, it still will not work with software virtualization, guess I will just have to pull my old laptops cpu and swap them. :/ Surgery complete, hope this works now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen00sniper Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ok, got everything setup and going as far as preparing to install, but between 17 and 12 minutes remaining on install the system locks up, boots fine to the installer and everything there works right up to installing the system. Any ideas on why installation locks up? Now locks up while booting to installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen00sniper Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Tried making a new usb and still get lockups, with -v -f -F -x doesn't matter just locks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 28, 2013 What CPU do you have? How are your BIOS settings? Do you have a compatible Wireless card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen00sniper Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 x64 (D630 pull for vt-x) AHCI Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card (same as D630 so compatible / maybe with kext) I should be fine running on this laptop, i used EHCIacquire=Yes -v -f and it worked better until Disk Utility went to unmount the partition I have prepared for Lion.

fallen00sniper Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Had an idea, based off your question, so I am going to take the wireless kext from the D630 boot pack and see if it helps get install working properly and maybe by then you will have said something Hervé.
