Everything works fine except the laptop freezes during the OS install. Not at any specific point, just after a certain amount of time it locks up. I've tried 6 or 7 times..
This is on a Dell XPS m1530.
**UPDATE:
I managed to get the thing to install on try number 20 or so (literally). It STILL froze with "about 2 minutes remaining" but after restarting I was miraculously able to boot from the Lion disk and it worked.
I have managed to get (almost) absolutely everything working, including battery, sleep, and restart. The only thing that is not currently working is the touchpad scrolling, but I'm sure there's a fix out there. Not a huge issue anyway. I'll upload my \Extra and \System\Library\Extensions folders if anyone is interested.
Also, I installed Windows 7 on another partition for a dual boot w/ chameleon. No problem with it being GUID. A hint if you need to fix kexts that are causing kernel panics: use MacDrive from a Windows partition.
