My desktop is:
Intel i5 650
Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3 rev 2.0 F11
8 gigs Geil DDR3 ram
Sapphire HD 5570
ps2 keyboard
usb optical mouse
Here's how I got it done. Maybe this info will help someone else out there...
Followed the TonyMac method of making an 8 gig partition on my drive and putting the installer there using Xmove. I kept my SL partition and made another for Lion installation.
I didn't remove any ram, or my graphics card which were both working fine in SL 10.6.8. I have a ps2 keyboard and USB mouse and the mouse was not functioning during the install. I used all keyboard commands to get thru it. (space bar is enter)
After rebooting, my graphics card was working, but no audio, mouse, keyboard, or network, so I hard rebooted back into SL.
I then opened /system/library/coreservices/setup assistant.app info.plist then copied the kext to my desktop and edited it (right click, show contents) with text editor and saved it back to it's original location. I deleted two lines of text so that I could proceed thru Lion setup. I deleted
<string>DeviceSelection</string>
and
<string>KeyboardTypeSelection</string>
In this way, Lion would skip the "no keyboard plugged in" prompt. Before exiting SL, I dropped two kexts into the /system/library/extensions folder of Lion. ApplePS2contoller.kext and AppleACpips2nub.kext. Even tough these two are not meant for my setup, it forced Lion to "see" my ps2 keyboard. I ran disk utility/repair permissions after this.
Ok back to Lion now, and got all the way thru initial setup using keyboard commands. Now back into SL and ran Multibeast, and pointed it to my Lion partition and dropped the DSDT on both the Lion and SL desktop, as I didnt know where it would "look" for it.:
selected:
user DSDT
System Utilities
Back into Lion, and woohoo, my usb mouse was now working, although my graphics looked weird.
Edited the info.plist in the Extras folder to set for arch=x86_64 and GraphicsEnabler=No. Video was back to normal after reboot.
To get audio working I ran multibeast from within Lion and selected HDA rollback, alc8xxx, and the 889 boxes, as I was uncertain which would work.
Next got my edimax w/lan dongle installed using a SL 10.6 pkg.
I think I would recommend that people buy a USB keyboard, or trackpad to make their installations easier than mine.
