Hi everyone! Update went well, but stuck with with "waiting for root device" error. My system is: Inspiron 1720, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 2 HDDs - one with ML Tried everything, also checked this thread, nothing is working. Would appreciate any help. PS: All other updates until 10.8.4 went...

Hi everyone, Managed to install ML on my Inspiron 1720 (Core 2 Duo T7700, NVIDIA Geforce 8600 GT). Although the install itself is not perfect, errors shown etc. it actually works. Problem is, that is doesn't recognizes internal HDD, only installs on a USB drive. Replaced several kexts...

Just as tip from my experience: The absolute best way, is to have Lion and Windows 7 on two different hard drives! In that case the install is pretty forward, as they don´t interfere with each other. If your machine is not able to have 2 drives, an external usb drive or huge thumb drive, also...

Hi and sorry for the late response! I just installed the ApplePS2Controller.kext, which I will attach. Hope it works for you!

Hi everyone, I have been busy and rather quiet recently, but in the light of the 10.7.2 Update I wanted to share my findings, hoping it will help someone ... I have a working Lion install on my Inspiron 1720, thanks to this forum and thread. 1) Downloaded and installed the 10.7.2 Combo...

Thanks for the info on the Wifi Card! I will check it out. Yes, its probably so, only newer cards are supported! Are there any newer Airport Cards for sale, I mean the newer Airdrop compatible ones? At the moment, there is no other Mac around, so it won´t make sense anyway, but it might change...

Hi, and thanks again, my Lion install is working good so far, some little issues, here and there, but overall great! No, I don´t have another Mac to test with. From what I have read, Airdrop is there already, but I am not sure! It´s probably the Wifi Card, which is the Broadcom 1390...

Good you were able to boot! In my case, trackpad didn't work as well, haven't used the Kexts from Kext.com, but will try. I had to install the Keyboard Kext to S/L/E with Kext Utility to make Trackpad working, just in case it won't work otherwise. Hope it works!!! Great forum, thanks for all...

Hi there! I am not a specialist, just speaking from my experience and thanks to this great guide (and Kexts) successful Lion install on my Inspiron 1720! When I used the DSDT provided here, I could boot into Lion, but it wouldn't work in Snow Leopard, so I guess, it could be the DSDT. Although...

Thank you so much, I finally got it working :) For me the two changed Kexts made all the difference! Great guide, thank you so much, now have a fully running Lion install, with everything working great! Out of the box: Wifi Bluetooth Graphics (had the graphics already enabled in the .plist)...

Very detailed guide indeed! Thanks!!! Will try it later and post my findings.
