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

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

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?

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. . .

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.
