Make sure you repair your system files and verify permissions, as custom kexts can make or break the installation if you don't.

just reinstalled Lion again so heres my quick tut on what i did:

1. boot into Snow Leopard and with disk utilities select hard drive to install Lion select to partition as master boot record

2. run iATKOS L2 installer package and point at new Lion partition, install.

3. reboot into windows or Snow Leopard and replace mach_kernel (i used mach_kernel_v4_bronzovka) and add to \Extra an \Extensions folder and drop the AppleNForceATA.imk64bit.kext into it...also i replaced the Finder.app with the DP2 Finder.app

4. installed chameleon with lizard to Lion but updated it with champlist after reboot and booted with these flags

5. at this point Lion fully loads. from here i fixed my wifi by editing IO80211Family.kext\Contents\PlugIns\AirPortAtheros 21.kext\Contents\Info.plist and changing <key>IONameMatch</key> to only <string>pci168c,13</string>

6. i have AC97 audio(i know how fukin old) fixed with AC97Audio.pkg

7. fixed graphics with nvidia mac installer package

8. enjoy a kinda working Lion :) havent got a kernel panic yet but the os locks up a lot(i see pinwheels)

9. and thx again to bronzovka & lunfai

Hey guys,

So I've been playing around with Lion a bit, trying to get everything working. There are 2 crucial things I need running: Wifi and Sound. In SL, I get wifi from an app called "Ralink Wireless Utility". It installed correctly in Lion, but when I hit "Connect", it doesn't do anything. Also, I'm currently using AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for audio on SL. There were a few apps i.e. TextEdit, Software Update, that don't start-up. :-/ For now I'll be using SL as a daily OS but I'd really like to start using Lion!

Thanks,
Lacedaemon

I'm glad we got all fixed, I'm not sure why text edit isn't working. :O

Well, it just kinda bounces in the Dock and doesn't load, same w/ Software Update... :-/

btw here are the boot flags I use:
Sometimes it doesn't boot with the UHCI and HPET flags, but they were both in my original com.apple.Boot.plist, so I just include them. I'm currently booting Lion from a USB stick, how would I get it booting on its own via the HD? I certainly can't use the Chameleon on the SL partition because it gives me a kernel panic if I do. Here's what I tried to do:
That's supposed to make the Lion partition active but it still boots me to the SL partition anyway... :-/

hi guy

i have a problem with installing niresh lion v2

boot from dvd or pen drive dont work, still wait with intermittent cursor _ for hour
for this i'v tried with rboot cd in verbose mode and get error
Boot Args: boot-uuis=36ccd437-d875-3c97-abb7-b11ee7ea8bcd rd="uuis arch=i386
after this string reboot
i'm just tryed to type "kernel cache"=\arch=amd etc... and other option, but dont work

i believe to replace mach_kernel in the usb pen with any mach_kernel for amd posted in osx86 site, and try to boot, but... how to!??! now i have only win 7 64bit installed, and the pen drive result not accessible under windows.
Any ideas for this cataclysm!?!?!?
PS: 5 or 6 moth ago i have installed snow leopard in this pc, but with moooore problem and 1 moth of crazy work!

My configuration is:

Motherboard: Asus M4A785T-M
CPU: AMD Athlon 2 X4 635 Socket AM3
Video: integrated ati hd "and this recognize in first part of screen"
ram: 4gb

sorry for my bad english but i'm italian and dont speak/write correct english, if then dont understand, please ask me.
Thanks to all

ok

now the installation it's next step...
i replaced mach_kernel and now get error of acpi... unable to find driver for this platform...
how to?

i tryed to turn off in bios ACPI but dont work
hdd is set on AHCI

oIs there anybody who had luck with an AMD X6 CPU? I tried to install Lion in my PC:
AMD x6 1090t
Asus M4A87TD Evo
GeForce GTX 560
But it just reboot after the Message: Start Darwin x86
I did the following stepts:

1. Install iAtkos l2 osinstall.mpkg with defelaut settings (just without bootloader)
2. Install Chameleon RC5 Beta
3. Copy bronzovkas Kernel to root folder, 32bit Finder to s/l/cs and applenforceata Kext to Extensisions in Extra
4. Boot with -v -f -legacy arch=i386 npci=0x3000


May you can help me? Thanks to all

Niresh doesn't work imo. I've heard nothing but unsuccessful, can't even boot into the installer.

RC5 is really old, try using Chameleon Wizard or 2.1 B1902.

http://www.osx86.net/view/2556-chame...ac_branch.html

for me work rboot cd with kernel V4, but when load get error acpi driver not found.

Cpu: AMD Athlon II X2 250 Dual Core 3.00 GHz
Mobo: ASRock N68C-S UCC | Gpu : ATI HD 5670 1GB DDR5 | Audio(integrato)
Chipset : Nvidia nForce 630a
Ram: 2x2 GB DDR2/800 | Dvd : LG ide DVD-burner
HD: Western Digital 500 Gb 7200 RPM Sata OS : Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now LION 1.7.3


With this configuration iatkos works well with the http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?d...5lbF9hbWQuemlw kernel.

Boot flag: -v -legacy npci=0x3000 Only theese XD

I used my snow leopard extra folder upgrading only 2 kexts for ethernet and sata. Today i'm going to install Via 1075 audio kext ..but i hope it will not be a problem XD

It actually works as long as xpchelper hasn't crashed.

this is the error. In the same case the error is this, with all flag -x -f arch=i386 etc

"Unable to find driver for this platform": \"ACPI\".\n"@/Users/osx/Desktop/src_1068/10.7/xnu-1699.24.23/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1502

why report users.../desktop?!?!??!

I got it to work :) But apps stop launching after 10 min :'( wish that is fixed soon.
I have the same processor as you, and mobo is Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H. Try disabling AMD C1E is the bios and then boot. and use the flags in this order -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 I know the order shouldn't matter but for me some times it does. Hope it works :)

THANK YOU! The Lion is yelling!

I ve got some more Apps working (in 32bit) ! Just download the fx_lion_kernel by R:A:W:X86:
http://www.fileuploadx.de/646274

Rename the unzipped file to mach_kernel and copy in in the root folder of your lion installation.

Reboot with -v -legacy npci=0x3000

TextEdit works
Store works

Now that i look better to my system i've got the same issue all works, but almost all native lion app, as appstore ,itunes e texedit ;after 10 -15 stop launching and of working of course T_T

With that kernel the issue persist, for me.. 10 min then Appstore, iTunes, TextEdit,Preview,FaceTime,Font book,activity monitor,iCal,address book dont work.

Mail, safari , chess , quicktime,ichat,photo booth,dvd player,disk utility,image capture,dictionary,calculator,stickies,dashboard works

You are right. It just temporally work for me... Lets wait for a fix

@Ryman
Where did you find that kernel anyway?

I have the same kernel on my FX4100 with SSSE3 and it runs well. but it wont run 32bit apps yet.

I am looking for the orig patch + whatever patches he made it to work with the fx4100 so i can add it to github. so i can start a collab.

Thanks if anyone can help

have u tryed anvs bin/ amd_insn_patcher ? in the very beginning he made one for his first legacy lion kernel build..... have a go with it and see if it helps ya

here it is http://cl.ly/103z1q3D2C3d2R012K0R

Hint: Another thread here. ;)

It is .. after a few minutes actually native applications freeze and not open more ..

but curiously the applications installed then follow working perfectly.

I hope to remedy that soon will be a great job! ^ ^

We did. (yes the Lion one from 10.6.8 legacy kernel thread) - no sucess.

I also went on and picked the bits that have to be changed for sysenter trap patch from AnV's source code & applied them manually to dyld.
(So I had just sysenter patch applied, no of amd_insn_patchers other modifactions)

The result is the same, after fixing permissions & copiyng over dyld, there is a Kernel Panic caused by the process of mdworker32 appearing immediately.
(rhcp also tried my dyld with only sysenter patch, he has the same panic)

Most likely it is not that application itself, that causes the problem.
Fixing this will require some more code change in the Kernel I think...


This doesn't bother me that much currently, as a lot of 64-Bit code has been added to Lion (iTunes, etc) - but still some code is left, that has not been updated, so we will have to look into cracking that problem.

Hey guys, do you have any solution for my problem of kernel panic acpi driver? Yesterday i've tryed to install snow leopard hazard and retail with nawcom bootcd, but return in any case the same error of acpi driver. Why?! :(

Verbose mode
 

Can anybody boot in Lion without verbose mode?

i've tryed but dont work. i've tryed with:

-v -x -f
"kernel cache"=\amd
arch=i386
platform=acpi or osx86
fsb=200000000
dsdt=yes

and... with original mach_kernel of niresh lion, pc reboot automatically after bootcd. with niresh on usb i'ts different because i've change mach_kernel with mach_kernel V4, and with this dont reboot, but i'm get error of acpi
unable to find driver for this platform

this error is for niresh lion and hazard snow leopard and retail snow leopard, i remember "monts ago" i've intalled iatkos V7 leopard without more problem, but only there. any other distro report this error, this fu...d error!!!!

most likely your booting 64bit AMD can't do it
so add flag at boot
arch=i386 -v

Anyone managed to use iCloud & i Message?

i also noticed that after apps stop to run also some function of Finder stop to work , like copy o delete file? anyone?

i dont know if this is stupid question but...
its possible to change/replace dsdt of niresh lion cd installation with dsdt of iatkos v7 cd installation?
i bealive if replace it all work ok, beacause acpi driver is collegated with dsdt file...

hemm... but... i have 2 hdd formatted in ntfs filesystem, this dont compromises the boot or not?

Very COOL.

i have MSI 790FX-GD80 and AMD Phenom x2 II 550 and 2x ATI 5750 work good on
10.6.8 64bits.

Now i go to Lion on my CPU working hopefull.

And how install?

I think that first 10.6.8 install Lion 10.7.3 to Another partition for 2 harddisk
than can i that back to 10.6.8 legacy kernel amd lion on 10.7.3 2 harddisk than work boot.

I go make and you hear later more my.

this is my screen error...

Delete the EvoBoot kexts and try again

Don't use that installation distribution, we don't know what crap he has put on it, and it hasn't worked for anyone. I'd suggest you follow my guide, which can be located in the previous page.

you have to use
-legacy
and i see its booting 64bit enabled
means you not using that flag

news...

in disk utility the maxtor hdd dont show! how to resolve it?

For one time maxtor is showed in disk utility and in section about this Mac showed, but with s.m.a.r.t. Not compatible. In disk utility showed many times, but if change any of it disk utility not respond, and force quit it.

My hdd maxtor in Windows Linux or gparted its showed correctly
Why this with Mac? Is not compatible or its damneged?

There isn't a keyboard connected

this appear when start setup of lion... i have a cordless usb mouse and keyboard
how to solve it?

mike007, it's little off topic, but what did you use to show SB700? mine shows as unkown ahci standard controller? I actually has 790GX adn SB750 SB chip on my ASUS M4A78T-E. but I would like to show at least SB700 than unknown.

Any chance there's a way to get lion onto my machine?

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
ASUS Crosshair V Formula (990 chip)
ASUS AMD Radeon HD 6950 2gb
Onboard Realtek HD Audio OR Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium if that can be used.
Intel Gbit LAN
16gb Ram

My goal is to just have a VM and allocate like 4gb ram and 2 processor cores and full video acceleration. I got Snow leopard to work a LONG time ago but I can't for the life of me remember how or what resources I used.

Anyone know if it will work/one comprehensive (or a little less comprehensive, I can think and work my around things ok given enough time and patience) tutorial? I have a retail 10.6.0 disk, and an image of 10.7.3 from my friends' thumbdrive (don't have access to the computer anymore so I can't really mod the iso and have to install from retail).

I just kinda reverted to noob status after being successful about.. 1 1/2 years ago? it worked on a different mobo with same gfx but that was the old 770 chip so dunno if 990 will work. also should I turn on VM cpu setting in BIOS? I disabled as i wasnt using it at the time and was overclocking.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and even more thanks in advance for replies! Ready to provide more details on system or whathaveyou upon request.

VT-x/AMD-V in BIOS should be enabled.
You won't get full hardware acceleration working within a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox etc.). You can give it video graphics acceleration but it will not do anything since it just doesn't enable QE/CI. You will be able to get a simple installation running, with any of the guides listed already, but you won't be able to run programs like Final Cut Pro / XCODE *compiling*, Flash (Latest relies on hardware acceleration) and Quick Time. Depends what you want to do with the Virtual Machine really.

But as of now there is nothing you can do to enable QE/CI within a VM, and you could never do that in Snow Leopard either, I don't know why you mentioned that. VirtualBox was working on some guest package, but it's been a long time and I don't think that'll ever really make it work completely.

The same guides applies to VM, you'll need the same kernel and installation method. You'll need a pre-existing Snow Leopard copy and then just attach another dynamic disk and install Lion onto there. (Follow Guides), then change the vdi so you'll load the Lion disk and it'll just work like normal.

Hey, thank you for the quick reply.

Did I mention QE/CI? I don't remember/ really know what that is ha.

Anyways, I mostly just like using OS X for everything except gaming... And it's gonna be a LONG time before I can get a real mac. So I figured I'd see if there was some headway made in the Lion frontier for AMD machines.

And I made an error, I have the original 10.6. Is there any specific guide that works better than others? I have viewed a lot and most mention some aspect that seems to not apply to me, just subtle nuances and none of them really seem to fit my current situation with this.. at least none I've found but I can't find many that involve retail OSX 10.6 guest to AMD Virtualbox Windows 7 Host. And searching hasn't turned up anything for me.

QE/CI is basically a fancy OS X term for hardware acceleration.

The best way is to use method 3 here:

Adapt it, you should know most of what you're doing if you have past experience.

ok guys, i'm say from lion, with finder work etc, but for anyone dont work funtion copy/paste? if i copy any file and paste it, dont work, remaining ever with Zero Kb of xxMb. this is a bug of finder?

Does not work. Already tried. and also tested with nawcom

It's time to give a try to install OSX Lion on my old AMD PC ... :->

Is there any way to install Mountain Lion?

The answer is....No.

and apple will not release the kernel code (like they did wth lion)?
