Lion with AMD

[PookyMacMan]

Apparently the kernel doesn't support installers...you'll have to install Lion from SL and then boot Lion with the kernel after it's installed.

Again, another reason to release source code...

Hmm..Thanks for your feedback. One more question; I have an iMac running 10.7, can i use the recovery partition to install to an external drive, and boot that drive on my AMD?

[PookyMacMan]

Yes you can.

I made an iBoot lion 10.7 installer on my Intel hac with the vanilla 10.7 app store dmg. Installed on my hac, onto a usb external HDD. Then I booted my Lion on my sata HDD, so that I can update the external HDD to 10.7.3, then ran muiltibeast selecting the External drive, selected what I thought I needed. Edited AHCI kexts so that the HDD would boot on my AMD machine, followed by replacing the kernel with the AMD one. I made sure that the org.chameleon.Boot.plist had "npci=0x3000 -legacy and -v" under kernel flags, disabled usekernelcache, otherwise it wouldn't boot. I then installed the HDD into my AMD machine and it booted right up with the exception of finder. I'm not sure if the recovery partition will work, but the app store dmg will no doubt.

Where do we find this? Can I update from Hazard 10.6.6i directly to Lion with the right kernel for my Amd Phenom II x965? Is gtx 480/470/460 drivers supported on Lion? I have a gtx 470. Am I using retail Lion or a distro of Lion? What is the best retail file size(to get) so I know I'm downloading the right retail Lion if that is what I have to get.

My GTX 560 Ti works with these: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-...01-driver.html just needs graphicsenabler=yes (GTX 470 should work as well)

ANYone?

I succesfully cloned my intel 10.7.3, changed kernel and patched with my pkgs. It boots with -legacy at the first time but applications like finder, Xcode, Apple Configurator, Utility AirPort don't work (Skype never worked for me). My cpu family is 16 and cpu model 10 (phenom II x6 1055T)

If you didn't notice earlier, use CPU-Z in Windows.

Use retail, distros are recipes for trouble.
