This is my first time trying the Hackintosh on my i7 Nehalem system, so far so goos everything works fine except my external usb DVD ROM drive can't be detected...

Initially install 10.7.0 and upgraded with 10.7.2 Update Combo. I'm using the USB installation (prepared with Extra Lion DP4 and Chameleon bootloader). Post installation using Multibeast. I'm using DSDT.aml file (got it from the net) to make the system sleep and QE/CI works like charm. The only kext I'm using is for the onboard Realtek ALC1200 HDA.
Here is my system specs :

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 x64
Intel Core i7 920 running stock clock at 2.67GHz
Asus P6T Motherboard Bios 1004
Nvidia GTX 260
18GB DDR3 Kingston RAM

I never use the autosleep function as sometimes I'm downloading big files...I normally use the manual sleep function and it works....

hahahha...silly me..... it's working now...I just unplugged and plugged it back again...so far so good, all 8 cores are working too, I can even watch 1080p movies....HDMI, DVI are working as well as dual monitor setup....

Yeah tonymac seems prefer Gigabyte boards....I had a tough time researching for support on my Asus P6T board especially the DSDT.aml file that really works on my board and audio kext....My installation was not that difficult.It was a straight Lion 10.7.0 installtion the dated to 10.7.2.

Using Unibeast + Multibeast were really easy...

Yeah, Lion on Asus P6T really rocks, blazing fast....learning how to mod DSDT really makes me want to faint (at last I give up),so I just use a ready made DSDT which is really fast from here (http://www.fleebailey33.org/). He is using BIOS 1004 (IIRC).

I'm using tonymac's Chimera 1.6.0. I have to install it manually cause my new Seagate Barracuda 500GB can be installed automatically using the installer....

Yeah your mobo can do hackintosh, just go here (http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt.php) and grab the DSDT file (make sure you are using bios 0706) and follow tonymacx86's guides on his blog.

Go to Applications folder create a folder called Install Mac OS X Lion, then go to the Install Mac OS X Lion folder, create a folder called Contents, then go to the Contents folder create a folder called Shared Support. You should have these /Applications/Install Mac OS X Lion/Contents/SharedSupport. Copy the InstallESD.dmg file into the SharedSupport folder. Something like this



Now go back to Applications folder and put .app extension at the end of Install Mac OS X Lion folder, it will warn you just say Yes.

It will be like this

Now run again the UniBeast and you will be ok...

Hope this will hekp you.

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

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)

Sucessfully installed Lion on RAID 0 (2 x 500GB HDD)

Here's my xbench screenshot...Data RAID is my 3TB RAID 0 (3 x 1 TB HDD)

yes, it's possible. In fact I ran mac os on virtual box and vmware before I fully migrated it into full installation and now running Windows 7 on vmware fusion.

I am using Mac OS X software RAID0 for both my bootable disks (2 hdds) and data disks (3 hdds). There is a guide on tonymac's forum on how to insatall boot loader on RAID0 drives.
