Lion with AMD

[davisin666]

Doesn't work for my Athlon 64 X2 5200+

machdep.cpu.family: 15
machdep.cpu.model: 107

It self restarts when Starting Darwin/X86.

an OOT question....

Has anyone had success accessing their iCloud ?

coz I keep getting this error message while logging into it





FYI,
I've tried to boot with:
npci=0x2000 EthernetBuiltIn=Yes PCIRootUID=1 (or PCIRootUID=0)

and I've even deleted these 2 files to get my wired interface at en0
- /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
- /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.identification.plist






My Apple ID (not a free one) is still valid and I can sign in to both the iTunes and the App Store



Any help would be appreciated

I guess the OSX LION doesn't support your nForce mobo (MoBo: MSI K9N2GM-FD, Chipset GeForce 8200 (MCP78))

Does your mobo have AHCI support ?

If not, have you tried to boot the LION with your current working old kext for Snow-Leo ?

Hmmmm, my mobo supports AHCI and BTW is enabled.
I've tried a modded iAtkos L2, UniBeast with the modded kernel and xMove.
Also, my cpu multiplier is 13.5, I thought that the busratio could be causing some trouble, I've typed busratio=135, and didn't helped either.

Maybe there're some kexts which aren't compatible with your hardwares
Have you tried to modify the S/L/E and also unpack the extensions.mkext to remove the uncompatible kexts and add the current working ones from Snow-Leo

If you have a spare partition,
you can try to install the lion from your current working Snow-Leo by running the OSInstall.mpkg

or you can try to install it on a VM (recommended: VirtualBox)

Ok, I will try with VirtualBox (I was trying with Parallels and I couldn't install it because of the license agreement)

And I will make a 8GB partition to dump Mac OS X Lion on it.

Thanks mate!

None of the methods worked, same reboot when Starting Darwin X86 appeared

Looks like the problem is on the oldie AM2 processors, I see that the only cpus that are working are AM3 (Athlon II and greater)
