Installing Lion on P5E

Step 1


Install Unibeast. Install Easybeast.
Install Network Kext from Multibeast.
Update /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist to include "Graphics Mode"="1920x1440x32" to activate graphics card.
iCloud works (since BuildInIO is set to true in S/L/E networkprefences.plist)
Install VoodooHDA 0.2.1 from Multibeast to get audio.
Western Digital Caviar Black (or any new drive with 4K sectors does not boot). Go to Step 2 if you have 4K sector disk.

(Sandy Bridge Install http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=36674&start=0)


Step 2 for 2TB or larger disks with 4K sectors


Clone the installed copy of Lion disk above to the 2TB 4K sector disk
reboot (It will fail, boot back into above disk)
Install Chimera boot loader from Multibeast
reboot (It will fail, boot back into above disk)
diskutil list (not the diskXsY of 2TB disk)
Unmount 2 TB disk from disk util
sudo -s
dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY
reboot
done


Step 3

If you use migration assistant DO NOT migrate "Other folders" from old disk. It will overwrite chameleon stuff and make the system unbeatable.
Also do not migrate settings or applications
