5. Install files (Grab it from Downloads ).
Installation :
1. Go to Applications-> Install Mac OSX Lion app ->
( right click)Show Contents
2. Locate the InstallESD.dmg file and mount it
3. Use app ShowAllFiles.app(from install files folder) to show hidden files and mount BaseSystem.dmg
4. Open Disk Utility and Format your USB storage drive with Mac OSX Extended Journaled (If you are using a external HDD, it should be first partition, else your BIOS would not boot it).
5. Restore the mounted BaseSystem to your USB storage drive.
6. Goto USB storage drive and locate the Packages alias in /System/Installation and delete it.
7. Copy the packages folder in the root of InstallESD to same location as alias on USB storage drive.
8. Copy mach_kernel from InstallESD to root of USB drive.
9. Unzip the LionGMInstall.zip with the files in it replace the actual files in the USB drive .
10. Copy Extra folder to USB drive - copy your own DSDT.aml from your snowleopard system.
11. Add Kexts from S/L/E.zip to /System/Library/Extensions on USB and replace any kext that exist.
12. Make a cache of S/L/E and E/E by dragging each respective folder to Kext Utility.

Post Installation :
1. Pretty much this is unnecessary as if you have a good working snowleopard system everything should be in place and working fine. so if you find something not working properly install your kexts using kext helper.
Troubleshooting :
1. Make sure you have followed all instructions
(refer video for confirmation).
2. If you get IOPCI driver not found or ACPI driver not loaded, use the kexts from troubleshoot folder and use ./myfix script to correct permissions and rebuild cache if you are using terminal from USB drive.
3. Post your queries in comments or in Hackintosh-India facebook page.

I see you have posted the same in the Facebook page, so we will be continuing our discussion there. Thanks.
I have a AMD Phenom X4 9650 processor and MSI K9A2GM-V3 motherboard. Please instruct what exact kexts should be selected for full support. I was not able to install Snow leopard on my machine.
@Balvinder : legacy kernel for AMD machines to install Lion has not been successful yet, I hope you are installing snowleopard. For snowleopard you just have to change the kernel to legacy version. For specific kexts to your machine, ask in the Hackintosh-India Facebook page.
