Following the Unibeast steps, Attempting to make Lion hard drive bootable.
I do not have network access so I could not do steps 2 through 8 in the guide regarding
DSDT.

Went into Multibeast. Selected most of the drivers I need. While it was processing it crashed. I do not know where to restart at
 
-boot with Unibeast stick
-Hove over and Select your Lion drive (newly installed)
-finish your multi beast installation.
-If you have DSDT then place it on desktop and select UserDSDT, if NOT select EasyBeast.
 
I was able to get to my new Lion Drive.

Since I had no network drivers I could not download the drivers.
I attempted to continue with MultiBeast and it crashed before finishing.

I did not have a completed install. I have been booting to my SL backup drive and
replace the Extra folder and have been rebooting to the part to complete the
MultiBeast. I need to research the EasyBeast before coming back.

Thank you.
 
I have gone bad to worse.

I have now messed up my SL Extra folder. That will not boot.

I lost my boot from USB drive. I can boot with iBoot into my Snow Leopard.
I do not know if I can recover my Extra in Snow Leopard.
I have Wiped my LION installation.

Trying to get SL running then I will clone the drive and then run the installer again.

Thanks
 
Thank you I will try the Multi Beast for Snow Leopard.

Hopefully I understand the directions this time.

When I first ran MultiBeast, I selected EasyBeast, DSDT Utility, and many, many kexts.
I thought I had a one time shot to create the installer. I crashed before getting the installation complete. After that I was copying Extra folders so I did not have to run the lion
install again. I ended up losing my Snow Leapard drive. I used iBoot to launch the OS.

Fortunately I got the answer to run MultiBeast on SnowLeopard to make it bootable again.
Once Bootable, I clone the drive and had the opportunity to install Lion.

Ran the Easy Beast, then each system at a time. First network, then next reboot Audio,
then finally finding the PLIST settings for my graphics card.

I hope I do not need snow Leopard for the next big release. I cloned the Lion Drive just to be secure.

I can not load an old application that says that it is Lion Compatable and I have not got into iCloud.

Will be cleaning up archives for a bit to get all my libraries together.
