Hello, i have a Sony VAIO laptop VPCEB14EN can i install Lion on it? I want to install Lion using an 8gb cruzer. I am using VMWARE Image of Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to create Lion Installation USB.
VPCEB14EN Specifications:
Processor Name : Intel Core i3-330M processor 2.13 GHz
Chipset : Intel HM55 Express Chipset (Mobile H55 Chipset)
Graphics Accelerator : ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Graphics
Motherboard Product Name : Intel® BD82HM55 PCH
RAM : 3 GB
HD : 320 GB
I have the retail Lion image (InstallESD.dmg).
What i have attempted so far
1) I have followed xMove+MultiBeast method, i used xMove on the 8gb usb. After booting i got "[PCI Configuration Begin]". I did not boot from HD, i installed Chameleon 2 RC5 r1224 on seperate second USB and then booted from it. I tried "PCIRootID=1", "npci=0x2000 flag" but i could not get past this error!
2) Then, i followed This Guide http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... pic=256729 . I followed this and still got same error!
3) I searched for compatible DSDT but couldn't find one. Nearest was VPCEB13EB (http://www.kexts.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1169) but i avoided it although i think* its same hardware internally, but still why take risk?
Please help me with my problems, and if required please tell me a detailed step by step process for installing Lion from USB for a Clean Install. I will be performing all preparation inside the VMWARE IMAGE OF SNOW LEOPARD 10.6.8.
Thank You.
