Just want to post a successful Mac OS X installation on my Alienware M15x,

My spec is :

- i7 920XM 2.0Ghz (Turbo 3.2Ghz)
- 16GB 1333Mhz
- GTX 460M
- Intel SSD 160GB + Seagate Momentus XT 500GB
- Dell Bluetooth 370
- Tenda USB WiFi 802.11n

What Work :
- Almost Everything ?

What doesn't work :
- Battery Sensor (never unplugged my charger, so whatever, hehehe ;b)

Tools Used & Needed :
- Latest MultiBeast Lion Edition
- UniBeast for create Lion USB Install
- Few Extra .pkg & .kext (link provided)
- 10.7.5 Update Fixer Script (i install 10.7.2 for the beginning)
- External Keyboard & Mouse for 1st Boot
- Chameleon Wizard
- Kext Utility

INSTALLATION
1. Set your BIOS to Boot from USB
2. Simply follow the installation Step

FIRST BOOT
1. On the first boot, choose to boot with the USB Install Disk
2. At the boot loader, choose to boot with your new Lion install Disk in VERBOSE MODE (type v f in boot loader)

AT THE DESKTOP
1. Apple has native graphics support for my GTX 460 cards so, yay!
2. Be Ready!
3. Insert your CD/USB with my extracted AlienM15.zip file in it
4. Open MultiBeast
5. Select the kext for the Intel Network, FakeSMC and ITS PLUGINS, EvoReboot, ElliotForceLegacyRTC, VoodooPS2Controller and Trackpad. (If you are using SSD like me, install TRIM Patch as well)
6. Select MacBookPro 8,2 definition
7. Install SSDT for i7 Processor (mine 920XM need this to allow the dynamic multiplier)
8. Install
9. Run Kext Utility
10. Reboot your computer

SECOND BOOT
1. Same as FIRST BOOT

AT THE DESKTOP
1. Your Internet should now be working
2. Your webcam, microphone and DVD drive should also be working (Check FaceTime or PhotoBooth)
3. Install DellBluetoothHCl.pkg
4. Install all the kext in the folder using Kext Utility
5. Install Chameleon latest revision using Chameleon wizard
6. Go to Extra and open org.chameleon.Boot
7. Set npci=0x2000, 64-bit (x86_64), kernelcache=yes and save the file in /Extra.
8. Go to S/L/E and remove AppleAUUC.Kext --> this kext causing Kernel Panic as it conflicting with VoodooHDA
8. Run Kext Utility
9. Remove Lion USB install disk and restart

THIRD BOOT
1. You should now boot into Chameleon.
2. Type f v to boot into verbose mode using the new kexts.

AT THE DESKTOP
3. Going into the desktop, check that everything is working fine.
4. Bluetooth, card reader, audio and USB should be working.
5. Now prepare your 10.7.5 Combo Update!
6. Run It & Install, but don't reboot 1st
7. Run UpdateFixer.sh from terminal (sudo [script location])
8. Reboot

YOU SHOULD ALL SET UP, Congratz!
