Anyone is working on it?

History repeats...

Voodoo Team have done great work on 10.5 kernel for AMD.
10.6 came out, Voodoo Project was dead, and we were not able to run 10.6 on AMD for a long time (at least there was no stable solution).

nawcom made great legacy kernel for 10.6/AMD users. We were happy and satisfied again.
10.7 is out, unfortunately nawcom has some serious medical issues, and we have to wait for some new legacy kernel project.

What i know is one of the problems that the kernel source is incomplite.

I´m not really sure but i think anv also takes the diff from nawcom. (correct me if i´m wrong)

Looks like it will take a while till we get a legacy_kernel which works.

Any news yet? I bought Lion already. :)

I would have tried compiling a kernel with the legacy kernel diff but it would have needed a Lion installation first in order to compile. :-/

Does Lion require full 64-bit mode? (Which isn't possible for me with Legacy Kernel on SL at least)

Hadriel 08-09-2011 09:22 AM

so with a patched kernel, would it be possible to run lion on my PC?
I really want to get a Tri-boot going.
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
16.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-870A-USB3
AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB

(Any other info on my PC: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/4...wlfmhtwdAsCIrJ)

Yep, now if we only had someone to do the job for us.. Or someone willing to buy me a macbook pro so I could compile the Lion kernel with legacy kernel diff ;)

@unrealized: Can't you compile on your hack under 10.6.7?

It needs the newest Xcode, which needs Lion. :(
