Can be specific what you did? e.g.
1) Using mac mini (or whatever PC) installed lion onto hard disk via USB (not lion server??)
2) Rebooted into hard disk and set screen sharing, updated system
3) installed multibeast using easybeast and ethernet (which one???)
4) Rebooted and verified it was working
5) Shut down and pulled disk out and put it in EX485 and booted up
I am wondering if you had success with an EX485 - I have an EX490 and I did the above and nothing happened when I put the disk into an EX490. Does the EX490 require a different driver?
I've got a windows 7 PC that I built (see profile).
I also have the EX485. I've upgraded the processor to a Core2Duo E7500. I followed the guide on mediasmarthome.com. I modified the BIOS without the KVM adapter. I plan on upgrading to 4gb ram soon. I've got an additional 1TB and 2TB drive plugged in now. (

So I disconnected all other HDD from my PC and took the first from the bottom hard drive out of the EX485, and connected it to my PC. Adjusted the BIOS according to the iBoot+Multibeast guide and followed the rest to the T. Then I used the install.dmg from my lion install (macbook), put it on a flash drive and moved it to the desktop of SL. Followed xMove+Multibeast then. Rebooted a few times and it was working flawless! I used Easybeast and installed the Realtek network drivers.
I then set up remote login, remote management, and file sharing. remote management let me use screen sharing without having to allow some one to take over the screen. (when i tried it with screen sharing, you had to click accept. I would be able to do this when the hard drive was back in the EX485) After this was working, I took the HDD out of the PC and put it back in the EX485. Booted it up, waited a few minutes. Then opened finder on my MacBook, saw the server pop up in Shared. clicked screen share and it worked! I was able then to adjust any additional settings (like sleep settings, etc).
Now my plan is to set up iTunes for airplay, ssh for remote access to files. I don't think i'm gonna put Lion Server on just because so far I'm able to do everything i need with the built in features of Lion.
Hope that helps!
