I tried to purchase Lion from the Appstore. I receive the message, that Lion can not be installed on my system. in German: "Diese Version von Mac OS X 10.7 kann auf diesem Computer nicht installiert werden." I currently running 10.6.7. (having wifi trouble with 10.6.8.) Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted August 8, 2011 Administrators Share Posted August 8, 2011 you probably need a better smbios file to allow purchase, try the one for your model in edp1.9. as for networking, use the kexts that worked for you previously 1n 10.6.7 - 10.6.0. usually its io80xx something family kext, ionetworkingfamily kext and iopcifamily kext all or some. depends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted August 9, 2011 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2011 wait are you trying to upgrade it directly without modifying the lion.app? i don't think you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 wait are you trying to upgrade it directly without modifying the lion.app? i don't think you can.

madmax Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi There, I have used edp 191 but it still does not allow me to download Lion from the appstore. I have purchased Lion on the USB Stick and tried that as well, but I receive a message that Lion can not be installed on my D620 nv. Would it be helpful when I would install the custom BIOS from OSXL here? Also I seem to have a rare modell of the D620 NV with the T7200 2.0 GHz Prosessor. Can that be the reason? Dell D620 CPU: T7200, 2.0 GHz 4 GB RAM Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module Dell True Mobile 1395 WLAN Mini card Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit controller NVidia Quadro NVS 110M Please help.

What do I need to change it to get Lion intslled? Please help. regards, Madmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted October 22, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi, I'v heard several problems regarding getting lion via the appstore on a hackingtosh - my advice, buy it on a real mac, and then copy the install file to your D620 so you can make your pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, Thanks Leon. That would be an option. Fortunately I have managed to change the SM bios. Now I purchased Lion. I finally updated SL to 10.6.8. Which works now as well. The custom BIOS from this page worked very well. Thanks to the guys that did all the work for that as well as the EDP which makes things so much easier, especially for a guy like me who doen not really know what I am doing.
