Help Installing 10.7 on Z77-DS3H i7-3770

[mac_max]

Hi all
please, i need help with this machine, trying to install 10.7 without Success

The System is:
Z77-DS3H Rev 1.1 Bios F8
i7-3770
Ram 8GByte Corsair DDR3
SSD Sandisk 120 - connected on blue 3gb port
NVidia Gt 640 Geforce

as far as i know, this is an ivy bridge CPU and I created the Lion Setup following this guide
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.it/2011/10/unibeast-install-mac-os-x-lion-using.html

but I cannot see my ssd (and onother sata disk 160 Gbyte Maxtor Diamond Max21, connected only une time for testing)
and so I found this thread about IOATAFamily.kext.zip
http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...ut-i-see-no-disk-disk-utility.html#post412238

But still no HD ready for the installation

I have also tryed to do the same installation with an external Usb Disk and I was able to install Lion
But, following this thread because of the CPU
http://legacy.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=59052&start=0&sid=b3c19641d8fdc139dd78aacc1b3fab6f

I was unable to boot.
Anyway, the question is, as long as the hardware is fully compatible for an hack, where am I wrong
Can please someone help ?

the strange thing is that if I try to install a 10.6 I can see disks and install SL

thanks a lot guys

Yes, your hardware is fully supported, but you'd be better with Mountain Lion rather than Lion.

Have you set up your BIOS properly? Load optimized defaults, change sata mode to AHCI turn off intel virtualisation etc...

hi Mustang
thanks for your reply

I cannot use the 10.8 because my audio card has only 10.7 drivers available...

yes, I have set up my Mobo as described in this thread
http://www.tonymacx86.com/99-quick-guide-configuring-uefi-gigabyte-s-7-series-lga-1155-boards.html

Loaded the optimized defaults
change sata mode to AHCI
intel virtualisation already turned off by default
xHCI mode is set to Auto
xHCI and EHCI Hand-off - enabled
init display first is set to PEG
High Precision Event Timer - enabled by default
i don not have the Wake on LAN available on bios


can someone please give me some advice ?

What audio card is it? I have an outboard Projectmix I/O which M-Audio discontinued support as of 10.6.7 but it works fine..

 

[mac_max]

it is a HDSP 9652 from rme
in their site they say
Mac OS X Intel driver. Supports 10.5 in 32 bit, 10.6 in 32 bit/64 bit and 10.7. See readme.txt for important notes!

this is the url
http://www.rme-audio.de/en_download...e=content/downloads/en_downloads_driver_hdspe


but downloading the driver and reading the readme file it says
New in Version 3.03

- Supports multi-user operation

- Installer signed for 10.8

se I suppose it will work on 10.8
and I will go for that.... right ?

 

[Jinhu]

If you have the means I'd clone what you've done so far and then go for it

Please let me know how you get on, I was considering a Hammerfall too

 

[mac_max]

let's keep in touch mate !

 

[Jinhu]

Good luck fella, happy to stay in contact
