Select Installer and get reboot

[pecck]

I created my 8GB partition, used xMove which installed without any errors. Rebooted using my iBoot disk, selected Installer and my computer would simply reboot. I search around on this forum and couldn't find a similar case.

Count me in. I get a reboot with default IntelSNBControllerFB.kext while a white screen with the modified kext from Tony's sticky thread.

Have you tried booting into the installer partition with chimera?

 

[thesurvivor]

Used the latest iBoot (which according to my info incorporates chimera), same issue.

Ditto, I too used the latest iBoot with Chimera.

I'm having the same problem here. Anyone found a solution for this?

 

[pauldmps]

Found a solution. iBoot CD won't work with Lion. Install Chimera in your existing SL installation using Multibeast or standalone installer. Boot with it. Now it would work.

If you don't have SL because you finished a clean install of Lion and have Windows to work with...

1) Create IBOOT USB from Windows : Step 3: Installing IBOOT (http://www.99bits.com/2011/03/how-to-in ... ion-on-pc/)
**Note the name of this IBOOT USB.**
2) Download FakeSMC.kext (14.05.2011 | Revision 493. Made by mojodojo)

3) Unpack FakeSMC.kext to ROOT of IBOOT USB.
4) Use IBOOT to boot Lion Installation DVD or USB drive
** See Step 4: Installing Mac OS X Lion : Step 1 to 6 for IBOOT menu options (http://www.99bits.com/2011/03/how-to-in ... ion-on-pc/)
5) When installation screen appears, Goto “Utilities > Terminal”
6) Type this in. Substitute 'Lion' with whatever you named your harddrive that has Lion freshly installed on it.

cd /Volumes/Lion/System/Library/CoreServices/
rm -rf PlatformSupport.plist
cd /Volumes/name-of-IBOOT-USB
cp -R FakeSMC.kext /Volumes/Lion/System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R 0:0 /Volumes/Lion/System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext
chmod -R 755 /Volumes/Lion/System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext
exit

4) Reboot with IBOOT USB to boot Lion!
5) Run MultiBeast 3.8.

-Good Luck!

Are you sure you typed this correctly :
cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Library/Extensions/
then type : ls
and see if FakeSMC.kext is listed


if not,
3a) grab FakeSMC.kext (14.05.2011 | Revision 493. Made by mojodojo)
http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.p ... topic=1643
3b) Unpack FakeSMC.kext into the root of a [spare USB drive]
3c) Start back at Step 1
3d) Instead of :
cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Library/Extensions/
type this instead :
cd /Volumes/[spare USB drive name]\ System/System/Library/Extensions/


***make sure you type all drive names correctly!***
If unsure of drive names, type
cd /Volumes/
ls
