STEP 1:
Make sure you have a fully working 10.6.8 installed. "Vanilla" no crazy stuff.
STEP 2:
If you don't do step one first, don't ask for help, refer back to step one and use the search function to help get to step 1. Do not flood 10.7 forums with step 1 questions.
Step 3:
After finally get past step 1. Follow Tonys guide to install Lion:http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/07/xmove-multibeast-install-os-x-107-lion.html
If xmove fails to install:
mount you installesd.dmg from you Lion app you got from the app store
now it should install if it didn't previously. Yes it can take up to 20 minutes so be patient, if the hard drive light is blinking or lit solid, it is working, take a chill pill, and let it finish.
Step 4:
After you have installed xmove on a partition or a usb drive, reboot.
Step 5:
At the chimera loader select the drive or partition where you just installed xmove and boot from it.
Step 6.
Install over an existing Snow Leopard or run Disk utilities and format your Hard drive and do a "FRESH INSTALL" if you like; either or works fine.
Special note, If you can't figure out step 1 no matter what:
If you can get into 10.6.x and can use iTunes or app store to download Lion jump to step "4" Do not try to install Lion on 10.6.x cause it probably aint going to work. Just go to step 4, mount the .dmg in step 4 and run xmove and make your bootable partition or usb drive. I hope you don't need 10.6.8 to download Lion, or you will need to go back to step 1. Someone please try to download lion pre 10.6.8 and post if it works, if it does everyone with step 1 trouble will be home free.
Please only post 10.7 questions in 10.7 threads. We don't need to reread all the things of other version all over again. Use search, your answer are on the forum.
