I have lenovo g570 and i am at the point now where every bootloader that gets installed i cannot boot afterwards. Using Multibeast to install easybeast gets stuck at grey apple logo. Tried Multibeast to install Chimera 1.7 cant remember what it does but i know i cant boot. Tried standalone Chameleon 2.1 and stand alone chimera 1.7 and can never boot back into lion after that...please help me (= thanks

OK...

Take a look at this thread > http://www.osx86.net/10-7-lion/13422...html#post91733

It`s a different machine but is similar to the yours (similar processor, kind of installation and issue)...

We still trying to find a fix but you can try the same steps for your issue...

2 => The installer put the kexts on your /Extra folder and if you was not able to find it, maybe it`s hidden...

To check if the folder is hidden, use this app to turn hidden files/folders visible and search the /Extra folder at the root of your OS X disk > Download UnHidden for Mac - Show or hide hidden files. MacUpdate.com

If you don`t have the folder, made the steps below...

Install this Chameleon (install this even if you find the folder) > http://builds.voodooprojects.org/bui...1svn-r1767.pkg

Use this app > Kext Wizard 3.7.3 - Downloads - OSx86.net

Install the kexts below...

FakeSMC.kext > Fakesmc version 2.5 - Downloads - OSx86.net

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext > NullCPUPowerManagement (32-/64-bit) - Downloads - OSx86.net

EvOreboot > EvOReboot, Restart/shutdown fix for Snow Leopard. - Downloads - OSx86.net

AppleACPIPS2Nub (you need to have 100% sure that you don`t have any PS2 kexts installed before install this) > updated Trackpad+Keyboard PS2 32/64 - Downloads - OSx86.net

thanks for helping me. Before i do this i want to understand.

1: I follow all these steps before i try any reboot correct?
2:do i need to repair any permissions before i reboot?

Unlike this guy i can never boot back up. he can boot back up using his USB i cannot so because of that i want to make sure im doing exactly what you want me to do before i try it. Thanks again!

Is better if you try after a fresh install without run Multibeast and using a external keyboard and mouse (you will need to use the flag USBBusFix=Yes on each boot)...

After we get the system running, we can fix other devices that may not work like Internal Keyboard, Trackpad, Audio, etc...

do i repair or rebuild cache?

Oh!!! Sorry... I forgot to answer...

Yes...

Always after you made changes to kexts and System Files is better Repair Permissions and Rebuild Caches...

You can do that using Kext Wizard on the Maintenance Tab or running the commands below on a Terminal window...

Code:

sudo -s

TYPE YOUR PASSWORD

chown -R root:wheel /Extra/Extensions/*

chmod -R 755 /Extra/Extensions/*

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*

kextcache -v 3 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext -z /Extra/Extensions/

kextcache -v 3 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext -z /System/Library/Extensions/

exit

all the kext you had listed on other thread to dl i did. i checked for a extra folder didnt see one. downloaded the unhidden app but still didnt see it in root dir. i installed that version of chameleon. used kext wizard i selected repair permissions and rebuild cache and went to reboot before it even rebooted i got the error i needed to hold down power button. so i did then i rebooted tried to boot with the USBBusFix=Yes i got the same error that i had to hold down power button. tried to reboot without that flag and same message. im probably going to have to do another fresh install but ill wait for what you think

First, boot in Verbose Mode ( -v ), take a picture of the entire screen with all post messages and place here...
