First I checked with tony's blog for Lion install. However I did not follow it exactly. I've made an install partition on a pendrive using xmove instead of hard disk partition and after that performed clean install and not an update.
I used MacPro3,1 definitions to install, then rebooted to my snow install (productive system on a second partition) and removed AppleTyMCEDriver.kext. Switched to MacPro5,1 definitions and finalized the install. Worked like a charm.
Tested on Asus p5K Vanilla (Bios patched to AHCI) and on Asus P5P43TD Pro, both with GTX 470 installed. You can either use a plain pendrive for this procedure with something bootable like cd, dvd o second usb-pen with Chameleon, Chimera or whatsoever suits you, or just make a decent pendrive like this one described here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... pic=165676 If you foolow this one the use xmove instead of 'ditto' for Lion.
I have one pendrive for Leo, one for Snow and one for Lion. With many different configurations and definitions.
Cheers
PS: if you give EFI hidden partition a go then you can't use 'diskutil eraseVolume "HFS+" "EFI" /dev/diskXs1' anymore on SnowLeo. The command is now something like that: 'newfs_hfs -v EFI /dev/disk0s1'. Check also: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/01/ ... eleon.html
