Could really use some help if anyone's got any insight. Have managed to install Lion with the help of this excellent tutorial. The only thing I can't manage to get working properly is the power management. So I've removed disabler and nullcpupowermanagement and when I boot with -v I see that appleintelcpupowermanagement has loaded correctly but as the boot process continues I get this message; ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized I've got C-state generation enabled in my boot.plist and am using an smbios for macbook 2,1 which seems closest to mine, which by the way is the same spec as the original post. This is really frustrating me as it's the final hurdle in getting everything working perfectly but with both CPU's running at near 60 degrees, compared to 40-45 in Windows and occasionally more I'm afraid to keep using Lion and burn out my processor. Any help from anyone would be massively appreciated Brian

Hey there Brian here from Dublin, Ireland living in London, England. I've been messing around with hackintosh for about a year now. Previously moderately successfully on a Dell Studio 15 - not a laptop meant for osx, now trying to get my Dell Vostro 1500 working perfectly. Got into this as I want to start making music with Logic and also for DJing it's much more stable than Windows. I'm not a programmer but am pretty competent with the popular OSes, have been using them daily since the days of Windows 3.1 and Norton System Commander. Have a bit of experience putting a Hack together - editing plists, installing kexts, troubleshooting but am hoping to learn more from the forums. Plan on contributing my experiences to the forums as best I can - can't really offer much more than that in terms of helping the community/site. Brian
