I took a risk and bought an ivy laptop - Lenovo z580, 8gb memory, 1tb hard drive, hd4000 graphics. I've installed onto a few desktops already, but getting my laptop running has been very very hard.
The problem I'm finding is very weird behavior recognizing my hard drive with the OSX installer. I used Unibeast (Laptop support) + BridgeHelper 5.0 to make an install USB drive. I then formatted my hd, installed Lion, and proceeded to try get Lion working. I kept getting the "waiting for root device" message, no matter what kernel flag I tried. I played around with some kexts on the install volume, but nothing worked, so I decided to redo everything.
I then tried using my usb installer again, but then I noticed it just stopped seeing my hard disk altogether. My linux live cds (gparted, clonezilla, parted magic) all see my hard drive, but not my usb installer. I tried redo-ing my usb installer, and I'm still having trouble seeing my hard drive with the OSX installer.
Any advice or suggestions? Kernel flags or kexts that would usually be used to fix this?
