ptesone Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 that will be great. How to Install Lion - I went here ok, I remember now! it's been a few weeks so bear with me here. 1.) You have to right click (or ctrl click) on the Install Mac OS X Lion.app and goto Show Pack Contents -> Contents -> SharedSupport 2.) Mount InstallESD.dmg image and install xfail to your USB stick (after you had formatted it GUID at 1st of course) 3. xfail will then automagically mount Mac OS X Base System and start copying the Lion setup files to your USB stick (it will take quite a while so make some coffee or something) 4.) download Champlist to install latest Chameleon and install it to USB stick 5. copy your Extra folder to USB stick reboot and install - either fresh or over the top of Snow Leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciopro Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi, this procedure works also for dell D820 T7200 Nvidia 110??? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmand Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'm running SL on a D620/GMA950. It definitely has a core 2 duo, but the Lion install application (step 1) says I don't. About this Mac confirms that its a core 2 duo. I am running SL in 32 bit mode admins-Mac-Pro$ uname -a Darwin admins-Mac-Pro.local 10.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.7.0: Sat Jan 29 15:17:16 PST 2011; root:xnu-1504.9.37~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 so I guess this is the issue. Do I need to get SL running in 64 bit mode, before I can upgrade to Lion? How would I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechieJustin Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 What about my thread, where I keep getting the KP right after boot, when booting off the SL install stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would I do that? you cannot upgrade a hackintosh to Lion that way, you need to do a few more things like make a bootable USB stick, use xfail to copy your Lion to it, etc. . .

ptesone Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 What about my thread, where I keep getting the KP right after boot, when booting off the SL install stick? Can you provide a screenshot of the KP? It's hard to sat what it might be. Also, if you have sleepenabler.kext in the Extra/Extensions folder that could be doing it.

iAskTank Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hey Everyone! I've been posting in another topic but I'm glad to see this working for so many people! Anyways, has anyone gotten the Intel WiFi to work in the D620 or is the Broadcom still a must? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
