Step 3. Post Installation
Issues during Installation of Lion on my X60t
Stuck on “_” on boot
Chameleon is not installed properly
Stuck on black screen or reboot on Darwin x86 loading (mach_kernel)
CoreDuo issue … Install on a Core2Duo, modify and boot on CoreDuo
use mach_kernel from DP1
Firewire KP on boot
Might be related to bad DSDT edit … I deleted every firewire kexts from /SL/E/
Very low brightness on boot
Not DSDT.aml related … will try another smbios.plist
Not smbios related … will try EFI string
Not EFI string related … will try custom kext
Worked with the files from this page … (no QE/CI)
I think only "AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext" is responsible …
