Kakewalk 4.0 is out. Download it from http://www.kakewalk.se
If you run into any issues, please let me know!
Also, a big thanks to everyone for supporting this project! -
You are the man!!!!!!
-
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
-
First of all, I am very thankful for your release. But there are some problems.
After successful install I can boot with kakewalk USB, but I can't install kakewalk to the computer, because there is no ethernet connection. Also sound is missing and graphic is limited to 1024x768.
I have GA-EP45-UD3LR.
Thanks again.

I installed Lion on my Macbook Pro thinking I could get to the disk image afterwards. Can I?!
-
Mrjanek two questions
1) this is for a brand new installation right? ie on a new HDD.
2) Once the installation is over, is it a good idea to import apps from the SL installation (via the migration assistance - uses Time Machine data) ?
Thanks -

You can choose to either upgrade or do a new installation.
I upgraded my machine and haven't had a single issue. -
in the App store I get
We could not complete your purchase

*** RESOLVED ***
Its the smbios.plist, by editing it I am able to download.

Ok, I got past the "Error
Failed to restore BaseSystem.dmg. Please try again." message.
What you have to do is format your USB stick as a standard OSX format with 1 partition. Do nothing else to the USB drive or it may give that error again.
But not I have a new error. After install completes, I reboot, pick USB, then select my Lion drive it boots fine, finish the installation with my user name, etc. However when I try to install Kakewalk to my drive following the instructions, it fails. Says "Error Failed to install applehda.pkg to target. Restart the application and try again."
I have done that about 10 times and still says that. Even rebooted and tried again. I have no network or sound either. -
Just a guess: maybach Apple is checking The System Serial Number. Do you have a correct One?
-
I am using InstallESD.dmg to install, the USB prep runs OK but at the end (I think its the end) I get the error:
"Could not rename drive. Make sure you no other volumes named 'Mac OSX Base System' are mounted"
The only volume with that name that is mounted is the one mounted by Kakewalk. I can email you the log if you would like. -
After watching the process closer, it fails about 2 minutes into the process with the above message. Here are the contents of kakewalk.log:
we've got root!

Fredr,
I have that same motherboard as you. The only difference is I have the MSI R5770 Ati video card, 8g ram, and Core i7 920. That machine also fails downloading the OSX Lion software, even though I already Purchased on a real Mac.
Looks like Apple has made the Virtual machine method fail. I tried my VM and it will no longer log into the Mac App Store.
After I get my machine working right, I will try and see if a fresh installation of OSX Server will fix that problem. This kind of makes me glad I have a Mac Mini also. That is how I got my Lion.
Would also like to thank mrjanek for creating this awesome app. -
I am also getting the message "this version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer" and I have upgraded to 10.6.8.
I did find this helpful to get the dmg file, though: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9218547/How_to_make_a_bootable_Lion_install_disc_or_drive
I plan to get the DMG file from the download on my real laptop machine... I think that will work. -
Installation of OSX went just fine (new install on new drive with the Kakewalk method).
1) Upon first boot when I try to install the Kakewalk app to my Lion partition I am getting the message:
"Error. Failed to install applehda.pkg to target. Restart the application and try again".
2) Also, since the Kakewalk app did not finish, the Extra folder has not been created.
3) Finally, for some reason boot and shutdown are in verbose. The apple with the spinning cog is gone??
Thanks.

Fredr - from the error message it does not look like the problem to be kakewalk related.
-
Looking at this https://discussions.apple.com/message/15663631#15663631
it seems that we could replace the OSINSTALL.MPKG in the installer with the one I linked to in my previous post. (?)
I will download Lion from a 'real' mac tomorrow and try it out. -
The problem trying to download OSX Lion from the App store seems to be a common one among Hackintoshes. Some older Intel based Mac also have the same problem. The trick is to get a SMB and DSDT file correct to the check imposed by the App store work. On a side note so far with my testing the killed the ability for the app store to work in a VM with OSX 10.6.8 Server also.
If download on a real Mac that is above the specs you will have no problem getting OSX Lion. If HD or another spec is close are just a hair shy failure will happen.
It is stupid for Apple to be this way with the update, as it will make people find other ways to get OSX Lion then from the App store. -
Thanks Everyone for the Info,Still trying to find the right combo for the download at the App store.But i'll Wait til it comes out on flash drive from apple in aug,(If there is no other Way and I have to ) May contact a friend with a real mac and Buy a copy ! Still Working On it! On side Note mrjanek Thank YOU for the hackmac I have been using for a year now,THANK YOU!

hodidl,
What error are you talking about with the EX58-UD5? I have the same motherboard and if you followed the instructions in the PDF file you should have no problems. You have to make sure you BIOS is set up right and that you are booting from the USB flash drive when you boot for the 1st time after you get OSX Lion installed, press enter when timer is counting down and select your HD you installed it to. -
my system is 10.6.8 Kakewalk system, probably something in the dsdt or smbios but I have not found any combination that worked. so, I got fed up with it and just downloaded on my MBP, created a DVD from the DMG, install Lion on a new SSD, installed chameleon 1078, added my DSDT to Extra and the kext's I needed and put it in my machine, all Lion goodness.
