That is not true. I have installed Lion on to a blank, newly formatted drive on two occasions. I have not tried it on a 2008 Mac Pro yet.

To my knowledge, you can only install 10.7 on a partition with 10.6 already installed. Install 10.6 on the drive you want, then install 10.7 on top of it.

I’m reaching out to anyone on this list just in case you’re out there.
Have any of you tried to do a clean install of Lion on a 2008 Mac Pro (version 3.1)? I have a system with 4 drives in it and I’m trying to install it on one of the empty drives so I can dual boot between Snow and Lion for the time being. Unfortunately, the install fails every time. The error is a little different each time, but it seems to do with updating system extensions or some kind of filesystem locking.
Has anyone encountered this? I’m really baffled. I’ve tried resetting the SMC and zapping the PRAM. I understand this list is not really for troubleshooting this type of thing, so I would be happy to take any conversations about it offline if any of you are out there. I’m just reaching out for help at this point.
Thanks and sorry for the intrusion.
