I made a bootable USB drive, choose it from the chimera login, and ran the install over the top of SL. Worked beautifully.
You make InstallESD.dmg to usb ?
Yes.
This worked for me... although I make no guarantees, so careful.
1. Format 8GB USB -> HFS+journaled
2. show package contents of lion.app
3. contents/sharedsupport/mount "InstallESD.dmg"
4. open terminal -> "open /Volumes/ Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg"
5. restore USB with BaseSystem.dmg in diskutility
6. System/installation/ delete "packages" link on the USB
7. open Mac OS X Install ESD
8. copy packages folder to the USB in the same location as the deleted link above
9. copy current FakeSMC.kext into System/Library/Extensions on USB
10. in terminal. "cd /volumes/"your usb"/System/Library/Extensions/"
11. "sudo chmod -R 755 FakeSMC.kext"
12. "sudo chown -R root:wheel FakeSMC.kext"
13.
"cd /volumes/"your usb"/System/Library/
14.
"sudo touch /Extensions"
To clarify : "touch /volumes/"your usb"/System/Library/Extension"
15.
"cd /Volumes/ Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/" "cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/"
16. "sudo cp mach_kernel /volumes/"your usb"/"
17. reboot choose the USB in chimera install over SL.
