I was doing some research and I tried a handful of solutions and finally landed on something that explains our problem but means that it isn't fixable without modifying the installer. Whelp, it looks like our lovely Y500s do not agree with the Mountain Lion Kernel! It makes sense with the...

I'm having a similar experience. Apple logo, then black screen, high speed fan, then power is off. Tried GraphicsEnabler=No, -x (Safe Mode). I'm not finding logs and Verbose runs the messages too quickly Got it on camera finally with my dslr lol Took me about 6 tries before I could get the...

http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-laptop-support/88464-lenovo-ideapad-y500.html Join our journey, dude. There's at least two of us actively pursuing this right now. No success yet, but I'm sure we'll end up with something because all the specs point to a good hackintosh.

Just got mine. I'll be giving it a go soon. Looks like graphics will run smoothly out of the box (but I doubt SLI will). Wifi, power management, and audio are necessities on my list. Any luck with yours?

Get a corrected kext for the HD3000. I haven't yet found one that agrees with me...

Again, I did temporarily fix it by discharging all power from my laptop. I had to take out the battery and disconnect my AC adapter and press the power button on my laptop. This allowed me to make it to the screen of OS choices and this has not happened for probably 6 months and has phased...

I get these messages upon start up of my working OS X installation. I do not think this is your problem, unless you happen to have an nVidia card

In the future you will be able to use iboot, but not at this time. You have to start from 10.6 and have chimera installed to boot to the lion installer... I dont think there are any boot132 cds that support Lion readily.

I would recommend to all N53S* series users to skip 10.6.8, as the graphics support is iffy at best, as well as some copies of VoodooBattery cause KP on it. Neither of these problems present themselves in Lion, fortunately...

I think that you may need to start over on 10.6.3, get up to 10.6.6 or later and install Lion from there. I skipped 10.6.8 because it brought too many problems and IOPlatformExpert.cpp is one I wasn't able to solve myself and just ended up reinstalling without disturbing my Win 7 install. Just...

Strangely enough, more often than not I have experienced a boot hang with Chimera. I will see the bootloader loading but on the last screen before the GUI selection screen, it freezes with the text-based spinner stuck at "\". My specs are in the left. This is a laptop, so I get that this may...

If you feel like dissecting your computer a bit, I have a working Atheros 9825 on Airport. You could probably buy one on eBay or Amazon then swap it out in your laptop.

They've made it behave like the touchscreen iDevices, to be totally specific. It makes sense for some but probably not at all for us who dual-boot...

@cutioi373 I had the same problem and still do. I cannot boot with the -x or -f bootflags. Try booting without using those and see what happens. Good luck!

Well put Scarberian, you explained it a lot better than me. :D

I second you, AlphaOne. I installed from 10.6.7 and I think you could go as low as 10.6.6

I think you're formatting your snow leopard drive when you shouldn't be. Just install over the existing snow leopard partition, that way you don't lose your files like Chimera. Good luck! Wait, I'm confused now...

Sure do! Try these on for size- viewtopic.php?p=167007#p167007 They work for me on 10.6 and 10.7

It doesnt have a bootloader. Run multibeast and make sure to install Chimera or your own preference of bootloader in another method. You would need to figure out how to boot to Lion, or install Snow Leopard, run Multibeast and install Chimera, then install Lion via the xMove method. It would...

I tried several kexts, all modifying the device IDs but no cigar. I can just wait for a universal solution though. Bluetooth has never worked for me, so I have no idea. When I look in system profiler my Bluetooth shows up in the USB section - so I'm going to try to add the Device ID for that...
