Thread: Major Problems with my install

Basically, I can always get through the install onto the "Succesfull Install" screen... Then it asks for a restart, so I restart and then when the bootloader pops up I press F8 and press OSX Lion...

This is where I get my problem, First I get an error message saying "Nvidia Rom patching failed" then once that happens the Grey logo comes up, and it either crashes or turns to a power button and tells me to restart using the Power button...

I have tried starting with -x, this just made me get stuck on the Apple logo and then it turned off my monitor and stopped sending signal..

GraphicsEnabler=No just didn't work, did the same thing after about 10 minutes of waiting...

How the hell do I fix this? Been trying to get it to work for like a year

When I press enter after entering a command it does nothing, also when I get to the commands starting with "Chown" it ends up saying No such File or Directory

Sorry...

I forgot to mention that you need to replace "Macintosh\ HD" for the name of your OS X partition...

I've tried that, unless I'm typing it wrong. :S I'm installing it on an external HD.

So would it be /SeaGate FreeAgentDesktop Media\ Lion ? Seagate is the external HDD and Lion is what the partition is called

I did not, but this is because it was using the Mac keyboard layout and I don't know where the TAB is on the mac keyboard

The TAB key it`s the same on all keyboards...

The only swapped keys are COMMAND, OPTION, CONTROL and accentuation keys...
