Hi,

I have been trying to install Lion using Unibeast as documented here: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/10/ ... using.html

I have a 'Install Mac OS Lion.app' which I wrote to a USB stick.

However, when I try to install from the USB stick, it hangs on the following lines:

DSMOS has arrived
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::startForReal - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
AppleIntelE1000e: Ethernet Address ...

And then nothing happens.

My setup:

Intel DH55TC --onboard graphics, audio, network
Intel Core i3-540 CPU
Corsair 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory

I have set my BIOS to use AHCI And S3 power managment.

I have tried various boot setting: PCIRootUID=0/1, GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No

Nothing makes a difference.

Interestingly, my Snow Leopard (10.6.0) install disk manages to install Snow leopard with iBoot (albeit with only 1024x768 graphics). However, when the same problem happens when when I reboot after an install of the 10.6.8 combo update.

Any tips would be welcome. If this system is not supported, that would also be good to know.

Thanks.
 
Exact same problem. Anyone have a solution? Please!

I don't think the graphics provided by your CPU is supported. Need to get a dedicated card.
Do a search on your CPU in the search engine window under "contribute" on the left side of the login window, just above "help". :wave:
