HCL 10.7.0
|
This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.
- ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
- Please add hardware into tables.
- This is for 10.7.0 builds only.
For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

(make sure Graphicsenabler=NO to enable correct functionality of HDMI/DVI/VGA connections)
If however you only have a USB keyboard, you have to enable 'legacy USB' and use "USBBusFix"="Yes" when booting up to allow installation to continue with USB devices.
This can the be later added into boot.plist
For full functioning Audio, use ViaHDA kext [4]
Go to S/L/E and remove voodoohda, then drag the viahda kext to kext utility to install |

I used the [6] Method, however I installed the "USB installer" onto a separate partition on the same HDD, and then once I had installed OS X lion onto the same HDD (using the "USB installer"), I deleted the installer partition and resized the HDD to only have the osx Lion partiton for the whole HDD. I installed chameleon to both the installer partition and the os x lion partition, with the dsdt and the faksmc.kext and boot file. All Kexts are in the Extra/Extensions folder except the ALC1200 audio kext which is in the System/Library/Extensions folder Bios is modified to boot Operating systems in AHCI Mode |
