bbuontempo Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hi everyone, Im trying to install Lion on my dell d620 nvidia. I get to the language selection screen however a few seconds later the screen freezes up and a black shade appears telling me I need to restart my computer. How can I get past this?? Thanks!

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2016 try booting with arch=i386 boot flag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2016 1st make sure to use the latest D620 BIOS version A10 and a Core2Duo CPU (most D620 have a FSB667 Merom T7x00 CPU). Then configure the BIOS parameters as per the recommended settings posted here. To build your Lion USB installer, use myHack v3.1.2 or v3.3.1 + the Lion bootpack available here. This will get you to a known working installation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuontempo Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks everyone for the help but I still keep getting the same screen. I did the bios update and I tried the boot flag as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2016 Are you using myHack with the posted pack? Try and specify -f -v flags at Chameleon prompt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted December 11, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2016 It normally works with the PS2 kexts provided in the pack. Make sure you've run myFix after applying the pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuontempo Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I did a full and a quick fix but it still doesn't work? After the install what are the steps to follow? Also how can I update? Thanks, Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 12, 2016 You update through combo update or via Apple menu. As simple as that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuontempo Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I tried that but it doesn't work. It downloads the software then when it reboots it gets stuck on the white apple screen with the spinning wheel my only option is to re install Lion every time. And as for the mouse the version of Lion I have is 10.7.2 whereas the boot packs are 10.7.5 does that make a difference as I am still not able to fix the problem.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
