I believe you can't use MBR partition to install OSX .. but there probably a way around it. What I usually do is to boot up into OSX installer, go to Disk Utility and use it to partition my HD. Beware, this will kill off you Win7 partition/MBR too.. I don't have a dual-boot/bootcamp setup anymore, so I can't really help if on that. The last time I did on mine, I installed OSX, then do the Win7 and reinstall Chrome.

Yes, i did partitioned my hard disk to Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) without any other partition. Even with 1 partition i still not able to click Install button as it is grey out. sad.gif
I also wonder it might due to my motherboard don't have ACHI this option..... sad.gif
but i did saw some guy from forum able to setup by using similar motherboard which is also without ACHI option...

To install Win7 later on, you need to use the disk utility and create a partition with FAT type before Win7 installer could recognise the partition. You can change it to NTFS during installation I believe, couldn't remember.

thanks wiraone....
already install Win 7 and Lion into the partition. biggrin.gif
the Lion is able boot from unibeast but after i applied the multibeast, it got me kernel panic screen every time and need to restart sad.gif
Is there anyway to fix it without reinstall the Lion?

and also when i restart it will load the chameleon but i dint see the dual boot system to let me choose between windows and OSX sad.gif

Do you remember what you did when you run multibeast? Did you choose the easybeast method? Try restart using safe mode, during Chimera/Chameleon bootup, press space bar, it will let you enter boot option, specify -x. When you're already in OSX, if you can access the net, download the DSDT for your mobo, put it into our desktop and run multibeast by selecting the userdsdt option.

On Chimera bootloader, I believe if you press tab it will show you the option, on mine, I've disabled this in my config file. Replying this on my ipad, so couldn't remember the config file name.

thanks for your tips rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
i already done reinstall last nite and using easybeast again. This time after applied easybeast my graphic card become not supported sad.gif . audio also not working sad.gif
i can't find any dsdt about my mobo, so i think i need to generate one by using ubuntu live cd. so that the dsdt i extracted from ubuntu will solved the audio and graphic issue? or it was just vanilla dsdt need to further tweak later?
besides, since i first setting is applied by Easybeast, how to i rollback Easybeast setting and using userdsdt ? or it will auto take care or everything without rollback> notworthy.gif

When I did my first hackintosh, I couldn't remember how many times I did my reinstallation smile.gif So, don't worry .. you'll experience this many many times .. to reduce reinstallation, you may want to create a small partition for your backup, probably a 20GB partition should be enough. Get the Carbon Copy Cloner, it helps a lot.

There is no roll-back, I don't use easybeast .. was using it the first time but did the manual selection afterward. The first time you install Hackintosh on your machine, the most important things from mutlibeast are the following:

FakeSMC
NullCPUPowerManagement
Chimera Bootloader

System definition,
MacPro or iMac, whichever appropriate

Don't forget to select the System Utilities too. This will generate the kexts cache and fixed the permission after the above kexts get copied.

Make sure you've the latest multibeast too.

When done, try to reboot and see if you could boot successfully. If it is okay, using CCC, copy into your backup partition.. this backup will be bootable ..  if you messed up in your configuration in main partition, just boot from that backup, use CCC to copy back the backup to main partition and go ahead playing with it.

I don't have much info on DSDT, there is one forumner here (goodswill??) who can help you on DSDT. What you need to do is to bootup in Win7, and extract DSDT and pass it to him.

Good luck..!

thanks for all valuable tips....will learn and try by one. basically after failed and reinstalled for few time, now should be any problem for me to install dual boot and lion at all. now proceed to second stage which need to figure out how to get audio and graphic to work.

since there is no rollback, the first Easybeast i applied can't fixed the issue i have, can i reapplied with userdsdt option? or i need to do a clean installation again and apply with userdsdt?

Yes, you can try userdsdt but you need to have working DSDT for that. Easybeast usually will get you started and doesn't require DSDT. It will let you boot up. If you've problem with the graphics card, well, usually the Chimera usually cater for nvidia or ati graphics cards. If you can boot up using unibeast, check what they've in the org.chameleon.boot.plist in /Extra folder .. there might have specific parameters supplied to get it to work on your machine.
*
when i first boot via unibeast to Lion partition, there is no /Extra folder inside the file system. First boot before applied multibeast the graphic is working except audio.

after i applied multibeast and restarted, the graphic card gone but found the org.chameleon.boot.plist in /Extra folder with setting below:

What GFX u using ??
*
i am using nvidia Quadro FX380

it is so weird that it is working after fresh installed but not after applied multibeast rclxub.gif

besides my mobo audio and LAN spec as below:

Audio

Realtek ALC887
High Definition Audio
2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
* To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

LAN

1 x Realtek RTL8111E chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)

which setting should i tick on multibeast?

You should go here and read the in depth details explaining Multibeast

i. http://www.mymac4music.com/2011/08/hackint...ion-multibeast/

ii. http://www.mymac4music.com/2011/08/hackint...ings-in-detail/

I had trouble like you before when using Multibeast as I was blindly tick the options but after reading through those links, I finally understand and my installation went smoothly.

As for your LAN, you can use Lnx2Mac's Realtek RTL81xx Driver (it's in Multibeast)

And for your audio, you can use ALC8xxHDA driver (also in Multibeast)
*
Yes thanks for your advise smile.gif
After spent few hours of reading and forum searching, i applied the multibeast without Easybeast and Userdsdt and only tick the driver which support my LAN and audio. and finally both is working now rclxms.gif
i did not tick driver for nvidia card as it is not match my card. so after reboot audio and LAN is working but graphic card is still not sad.gif
found a MAC driver for Quadro from nvidia homepage, will try to install it tomorrow and see the outcome brows.gif
