Hi All,
So I have the first Intel Mac mini (core solo model) that I upgraded to a core 2 duo a few years ago by swapping the CPU. It's been working great ever since. Since Lion is out though, it thinks my mac mini is unsupported as the model identifier (macmini1,1) technically isn't compatible with Lion, but my upgraded CPU is. Trouble is, it won't let me install. Does anyone know of a way to change the model ID on a NON hackintosh? It's pretty straightforward on those, but can't figure it out on a real mac. Maybe it's not possible?
Thanks,
