I am about to despair...

I just installed an AMD FX 4100 CPU to an MSI 760GM-P23 mainboard - hoping for Lion to work with 64-Bit support.

currently 100% disappointed.

I cannot boot any Kernel with any version of OS X (tried 10.5 + Voodoo, 10.6 + modbin / nawcom, 10.7 with that latest Kernel...)

I always end up with Kernel Panic like this:
http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/issues/detail?id=390

The fault appears right after the Kernel has loaded, so no Extensions etc involved...
Always that vm_page_set_colors shit...

When I replace the FX with Phenom II, all Kernel are loaded without any problem.

Tried passing the common flags, disabled all the CPU features in BIOS, different versions of Chameleon, etc etc


A Phenom II X4 955BE as reward if someone can sort out that f* bug!

Lion:

Is the Lion an preinstalled system? Does lion boot without -legacy? It should as far as I know. Unless the support for the CPU family is missing in the kernel itself.

(also, a bummer, I was going to buy a FX-6100 soon )

My Hardware
CPU: Intel Celeron G530
Memory: 4.00 GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 - Vanilla kernel
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3

Unrealized;

Like I wrote in the title of this topic: it is the same Panic with all version of OS X.
No way to boot at all.

No matter if trying to boot 10.5.8, 10.6.0, 10.6.8 or 10.7.x (Tiger untested^^)

On 10.6.0 it is even same Panic with the modbin Kernel, which actually is a binary hack and no source code modification.

Strange, since my mate installed Lion and he has FX-8150 which is in the same CPU Family...

Which Lion version is that specifically? My Mate is running 10.7.3. Installed on top of iAtkos L2.

Maybe other FX can work, but it seems like there is some small detail that makes the 4100 incompatible:

Another FX4100 owner - same panic - different mainboard:

I just tried to boot into Darwin 10.8.0 using GRUB2 instead of Chameleon - same Kernel Panic...

So most likely it is no Chameleon related issue...

I had a look at vm_resident.c - I could try to modify the if query, that calls the panic...
(even though I am only used to ms qbasic^^)
Most likely this will run me straight into the next panic.

I currently don't have a setup to run Xcode as well -.-



Someone knows any other FX that can be confirmed working? I may give mine back and get a different one...
8150 is a little expensive - in that case I could also get an i5 (just that i don't like intel)


(Just out of curiosity: Mac OS X 10.4.8 works using cpus=1 on Nebukadnezar Kernel lol - but eh that wasn't the reason for me to buy that f* CPU^^)

I think you should wait a while for a better working kernel.

wooohooo!

I am not the kind of person that is used to "wait"

I just compiled 10.5.0 XNU.
I have been putting these lines into comments:

and I am booted until PCI Configuration beginn

I will try to totaly fix up Snow Leopard later - too bad I have to leave for work now.


When I have it up an running - I will try Lion.

Snow Leopard is up and running.

For some stupid reason, I have to unplug my USB aluminium keyboard in order to boot (?!) - but removing those lines from source code did the trick!


Now I need to have that patch applied to the Lion Kernel by bronzovka, but I cannot compile Lion Kernel as I cannot use Xcode later than 4.0.2 currently...
Anyone around here who can help me out on this?

There's Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard.
