I Managed to get everything loaded onto the installer and have been looking around the forum to my problem but icant find anything related to my problem.

Ok so if I use iBoot 3.1 and choose Installer (in -v -x -F ) it loads the Apple screen but then exits and does a quick reboot back into iBoot.

If I use the Chimera (latest build in -v -x -F) everything loads up to
"72.364241: setWOW_PARAMETERS:wowevents = 2(1)

then it just sits there vie left it for hours and nothing else loads.
Please help what am i doing wrong

Components:

Gateway NV79
4GB Memory
intel core i3 330M
intel HD Graphics
smbios: MacPro3,1
Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Don't use iBoot. it doesn't support Lion's installer. use your regular boot loader that is already installed on your main drive. Press any key when the boot loader's progress bar shows. Arrow over to installer, and press enter. ;)

**Edit** Try this flag at boot loader screen ..

PCIRootUID=1

Ok i just tried it and it still has the same problem. Do i just type "PCIRootUID=1". Or do i need to type other things before or after?

Try this ..

PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=no -v

You are using intel integrated GFX, its going to be a bit of work to get stuff to load i think.

Still nothing it just stops looks like it will load but the hard drive stops responding

**edit***
This time i get a
"ACPI_SMc_PlatformPlugin::startForReal - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
DSMOS has arrived"
When i type this at boot
"PCIRootUID=1 -v -x"
