Downloaded Lion App yesterday. This morning I completed the install per the xmove install procedure. Installer was successful but I get the following message on step 4 when trying to reboot into the installer:

"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button until it turns off then press the power button again."

Thanks for any suggestions to get to completion!
 
same problem here!
 
Do you get only that window or is there some text behind it?

Spinning wheel for about 4-5 mins then screen when a shade darker then the message in 4 different languages.
 
Could this be a graphic card problem? SL 10.6.8 seems to be running fine?

Here are my current kext, do I need to add NVEnabler.kext?

ALC8xxHDA.kext
AppleYukon2Injector.kext
Extensions
FakeSMC.kext
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext
JMicron36xATA.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
 
Tried a new install using UniBeast on a USB stick; ran latest lion MultiBeast to repair audio and ethernet. All working 100%.

You need it in SL, but in Lion, you have 2 options:
Install NVEnable.kext and boot with kernel flag GraphicsEnabler=No
OR
Don't install NVEnabler and boot with kernel flag GraphicsEnabler=Yes
