booting lion 10.7.4

booting Mountain Lion 10.8.1
booting windows 7 ultimate 64bit

My install went as follows:
UEFI Bios Configuration should be correct:

ECHI Hand-Off = Enabled

1. Purchase Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (Retail App or USB)
2. Prepare a USB drive per UniBeast Guide
3. Create a bootable USB drive using UniBeast- name it ( USB )
4. Run BridgeHelper targeting USB
5. Boot from USB and install Mac OS X Lion (Name the drive Lion)


A. In the top menu bar choose Utilities, and open Disk Utility
B. Highlight your target hard drive for the Lion installation in left column.
C. Click Partition tab
D. Click Current and choose 1 Partition
E. Click Options...
F. Choose GUID Partition Method
G. Under Name: type Lion (You can rename it later)
H. Under Format: choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
I. Click Apply then Partition
J. Close Disk Utility

When the installer asks you where to install, choose Lion, or your existing install.

Here's where it gets weird, because the USB stick won't reference its own kernel when booting the new installation. So your new Lion hard drive still has the incompatible vanilla kernel, and won't boot. So we boot into the installer again, and remove, then copy the working kernel via the handy built-in Terminal.

6. Boot from USB AGAIN
7. At Installation screen, go to menubar, Utilities
8. Open Terminal
9. Type the following and hit enter:


rm /Volumes/Lion/mach_kernel


Then type the following and hit enter:


cp /Volumes/USB/mach_kernel /Volumes/Lion/



10. Reboot from USB and choose Lion.
