[AMD] 10.7.2 works but not 10.7.3 or 10.7.4
Hey. I was able to get 10.7.2 to work on my AMD system, but if I update to a newer version I am not able to get it to function with the couple of kernels available. I'm not sure why. Is there a step I'm missing? I have an AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition.
I've tried these 2 kernels. I've had to reinstall Mac OS X twice after trying these. http://www.osx86.net/view/2723-amd_k...or_10.7.4.html 10.7.4 AMD Kernel - InfiniteMac I install the combo update manually then replace mach_kernel with either of those and then my system does not boot when I reboot. No kernel panic or anything my computer just resets when I try to boot Lion at that point. |
Hey sunfire,
you will need to add your busratio to the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file. If you are not overclocked you can try typing busratio=125 when chameleon starts and it should boot. If it dose then you add the busratio command as per this example <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-legacy npci=0x3000 busratio=125 -v</string> hope this helps. |
Right now I have busratio=15 specified because that's my bus ratio. If I don't have it set to that my sound doesn't work right. It pops every so many seconds. Will it really help to set it that high?
|
So if I have this right you are running your cpu at 3GHz, if that is correct then you have the busratio number right. The one I showed is for the cpu @ default = 12.5 which is written as 125, confusing I know.

So if I'm specifying 14 is it ok? or should I do 140? Does anyone else have any ideas of what the problem could be? Not saying you're wrong but I want to be sure before I install 10.7.4 again because if it doesn't boot I have to start all over again.

Have you tried using the 10.4.0 XNU on your current / working installation, yet?
|
I haven't used it with 10.7.2 but I did try it after updating to 10.7.4 and it didn't work. I thought it was only for 10.7.4??

The 10.4.0 XNU appears to work on all previous versions of OS X Lion.
In contrast 10.7.4 will work using the correct Kernel Version only. btw: bronzovka v6 Kernel (your link) is XNU 10.3.0 - the information on osx86.net that it will work on 10.7.4 is not correct / some Kernel Extensions in 10.7.4 have depencies for XNU 10.4.0 and won't work with previous kernel versions. (You'll need to use some kext from 10.7.3 when using old Kernel) |
That makes sense. I did try XNU 10.4.0 though and it also didn't work. I'm wondering if my processor is just too old. But the kernel I'm using now for 10.7.2 works great..
