Hi..

 

Did you use mach_kernel -v -f to boot the retail dvd?

 

Cheers!

Hi,

 

Did you ran gptsync as mentioned in the wiki?

Hi...

 

I use Kext Helper to install individual kext from the gui. It will also save a backup kext in the /Backup directory if there is an existing kext.

 

I don't think there's any need to re-install each time you have a kernel panic as you'll just need to repair the E/E and S/L/E directories only.

 

U could use time machine to backup your os x system to an external hard disk and later use the install usb to restore it if necessary

 

However, before that, you could boot in safemode and use console to delete file that needs deleting, and if you cannot enter safemode there is always the terminal using the installation usb.

 

Cheers!

Hi,

 

I also just updated mine to 10.7.3 without any problems. Started downloaded overnight, went to sleep and woke up with new 10.7.3 lion roaring!

 

Cheers!

Hi.. Have you tried to reinstall chameleon? It seems that your org.chameleon.Boot.plist and Themes folder may be missing. Cheers!

Dear ovi1,

 

For me, the lion installer boot up normally at the laptops's screen. I did not have to do anything for that.

 

Hmm....

opss.. mach_kernel-v -f I mean

 

Cheers!

Dear ovi1,

 

I used the boot pack from the supported model page in the wiki... Yes... I had issues with wifi when I tried to run the installer usb (instead of turning off the wifi I actually move the IO80221Family.kext which is the same i think). But then, when lion finished install, the IO80221Family.kext did not caused any kernel panic even when my intel wifi is on.

 

By the way, did you rebuilt your extension.mkext after booting into os x lion for the first time and installing edp 2.2? For the first boot I used -x -f but after rebuilding my mkext I just booted normally?

 

Some kext don't load up even if we use -x -f and only load up after we rebuild it and boot normally like speedstep and volume!

 

Cheers!

Dear ovi1,

 

For your information I'm using D630 with intel x3100 and intel wifi card on at the moment. I did not copy the bootpack to hard disk after i install lion and lion boot with no problem. Before registration, I had to use external usb keyboard as lion say no keyboard detected. After that I just remove my usb keyboard and start using the built in keyboard to continue registration. After that I ran EDP 2.2 and selected all apple kexts and speedstep except disabled sleepenabler. Ran kext utility and rebooted.

 

Cheers!

Hi ovi1 & mariusz,

 

I don't think its the bios problem, I was on A17 when I installed lion and yesterday updated to A18. So far no difference.

 

Cheers!

Hi,

 

I had the same problem with my lion usb installer. I had to remove IO80211Family.kext from s/l/e for the installer to boot up. For some reason its causing a KP on the lion usb installer. However, after lion is installed on hard disk. The kext does not cause any KP for some reason.

 

Cheers!

 

i am trying to install Lion on D630/X3100/Intel WiFi.

I followed your procedure (and the one you linked to from Maldon).

When I boot from USB, I get a KP and the trace refers to some 'airportBrcm...'.

How do I get around this?

thanks in advance

Hey guys...

 

I just configured iCloud for my account. I found an application Champlist.app from http://tools.inmac.org/ which generated a serial that I used. I'm not sure if it matters for the serial to be in the right 'format' but I though maybe it does since there is an app for generating it.

 

Cheers!
