Lion with AMD

[mindlessmissy]

I'm pretty sure they will ...

[lunfai]

They have to release the source to the kernel, but it won't be released until two weeks or month after mountain lion is released to the public. There's no point releasing unfinished kernels from their point of view.

[Unrealized]

Yeah, they release then after the final release, so you won't be running Mountain Lion previews unless you use supported hardware.

[felipeunix]

No news about the applications freezing? :o
I did not want to go back to ubuntu ...

Which kernel did you use? What is your system spec?
It doesn't crash after 10 min?

Which kernel did you use? What is your system spec?

Processore : 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

i've used the first version of the kernel

No with only - legacy after 10 minutes apps stop working (not all).
WIth mi - force64 i've tested for up 30 minutes and all'apps works..execept for the finder that dont copy or delete file some times. The pc with -force64 seems a bit slower anyway :(

[A3yu]

nah..false alarm..now app still don't work...

[felipeunix]

with "-legacy"

System starts at around 32 bits, but the 64-bit applications freeze after a few minutes.

without "-legacy"

System starts at around 64 bits, but NO 32-bit application starts.

[justinster123]

I used the diff from the original creator and some of anv's source diffs, the 64-bit kernel gives the acpi kernel panic here, but anyone wanting to test both, please try, and let me know if xpchelper and stuff is any better at all, or if it works better, I took all day, I hope this works :')
please let me know anything different, if it works faster, or anything, I can't really test, I'd love to see other's results :)
I also attempted to fix some RTC issues, and the AMD stuff, the L2 cache seems to be working (detection), but please test :)

"Thanks so much for your reply, I hope it helps in some way, the 64-bit kernel (pure) always kp on acpi, but I know that's how it was for snow leopard too, maybe it will work for some processors, but I am currently using 32-bit kernel, and system seems smooth, although the only thing is I am doing school work, so I don't want to take chances leaving XPCHelper running, you know?
maybe this will fix it, maybe not "

[felipeunix]

Results that got here:

x64

I could not even start. Need some flag in particular?

x86

with "-legacy" system starts! And with considerably higher performance!

So far no application froze!

config:

FX-8120
ASUS M5A97-EVO

Congratulations on your work! Very good!
You can count on me to test what you need, I am willing to help as you can!

I thought if he has a bulldozer fx processer he can run the amd kernel natively anyway in 64 bit mode.

[justinster123]

I thought if he has a bulldozer fx processer he can run the amd kernel natively anyway in 64 bit mode.

yes but in 64-bit mode 32-bit apps never work

[justinster123]

@felipeunix you could try booting in 32-bit kernelspace, by merging the 32-bit and 64-bit into universal, and use 64-bit userspace,
terminal
lipo -create mach_kernel_64 mach_kernel_32 -output mach_kernel

[felipeunix]

in 32 bit mode, some 64-bit applications, still insist on freezing ..

but it is taking longer for that to happen ..

I need sleep now, I'm very tired when morning will continue testing.

I'm trying to install it in VMWare Workstation 8, but I'm getting an error.

Error:

A fault has occurred causing a virtual CPU to enter the shutdown state. If this fault had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine to restart. The shutdown state can be reached by incorrectly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system, or a problem in VMware Workstation.Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to power off the virtual machine.

Tested a lot of flags combinations.. -legacy, -f, arch=i386, -force64, -s, -x, maxmem=4096.. Sometimes without one or another.

I did the procedure Snow Leopard in a disk, created another virtual disk, installed iAtkos in the new disk, tested the newest kernel above and the other ones, installed chameleon 2.1 and the newest from kexts.com.. But I'm stuck at this point.

Can anyone help me?

[felipeunix]

I could not sleep so I went back to test LOL

match_kernel_32

no flags, it is a bit unstable.
with "-force64" already starts with all 64-bit applications and the performance is really great!

even after a long time ..

[ghostec]

The programs are still crashing after some time?

I just made it! I can't say about stability yet because I just logged in..

The solution (odd) was to download the bootcd: http://www.osx86.net/view/1805-bootcd_for_lion.html

My first try ended in success so I can't filter the flags I've tried: -legacy arch=i386 -force64 -v -f

My mouse isn't working, though =/ And is pretty hard to install vmware tools with only my keyboard, I'm not used to OSX hotkeys..

But if someone has a better solution than the bootcd I will be very glad in hearing.

Currently, im testing in 32 bit mode - > After 10minutes or so.. the 32 Bit application are fine. But the 64 bit applications dont load up. Keep up the good work though :) and im going to try the 64 bit now.

[aaqib7]

Its much more stable than the previous kernel but after 10minutes or so its just the 64 bit applications wont load - everything else works fine.(All the 32bits).
Itunes, Facetime etc - are 64bit so they stop working.

[justinster123]

I'm glad we made at least some kind of progress, I couldn't have done it without any of the original devs, thanks.
I'm going to look at the source and give my diff to R:A:W:86 (sorry if misspelt)
seems I need to replace some panic strings to printf or else kp for pure 64-bit on amds....

Wait on the other kernel the original ones that bronzovka made?

before my kernel, all apps both 64-bit and 32-bit stopped working, now it's just the 64-bit apps?
this means that 32-bit apps are fixed for you?

I'll look into the source some more
seems that xpchelper crashes due to incorrect power management of the CPU and not detecting the model etc properly,
I always get the erro during boot
"hw.sysmem" failed assuming > 1GB
and power management may be incomplete or unsupported
I'll keep looking when I get home

[justinster123]

BTW anyone know of a voodoohda that works for alc662 asus m2n68-am se2 that DOESN'T cause audio choppiness?

I've tried numerous hdaenabler and alc662, it detects in system profiler,
but won't show any devices in system preferences......

[felipeunix]

@rayman:

only replaces the kexts: "IOUSBFamily" "IOUSBMassStorageClass"

dmg contains the lion's this kext, you can get directly from the dmg.

If used these modified kexts, same thing.
One need only replace them

Yeh, 32 bit apps work fine :) except the 64 bit apps which freeze after 10minutes or so, so you cant open them up. In the previous version (bronzovka) his kernel freezes both 32bit and 64bit for me sometimes. But, in this one, its the 64bit application I have a problem with. Im not able to boot with 64bit? It restart my pc for some reason? Do you know why?

[felipeunix]

X64 is working great!

I have the same audio card 'alc662' but i havent configured it yet for Lion.

maybe I expressed myself poorly.

With (mach_kernel_32)
just use the flags: npci=0x3000-force64

the system keeps stable even after a long time.
Only 32-bit apps do not open. But 64-bit apps work perfectly!

Sorry for the bad English, I'm Brazilian ^_^

Mh I downloaded the latest IOUSBFamaly (1163). Mass Storage works again YOHO! But still I can not boot with -force64. Without it everything is like it was with Kernel V4. Itunes, Textedit and the other apps crash after a few minutes, orginal Finder dont work.

@felipeunix (http://osx86.co/member.php?u=90042593)
AFAIK (CMIIW) the -force64 has not been implemented in the legacy kernel yet
and since you have the FX series AMD, by default you're running the osx in the 64-bits mode (with / without arch=x86_64)

...already thought that...

What you currently have, also works with the v3 Kernel by bronzovka...

For 32-Bit Apps, you can try to flip 5A 89 E1 0F 34 90 into 59 CD FC 51 C3 90 in dyld.
Be sure to give it +x permission before you copy it over.

With bronzovka Kernel this has resulted in a kernel panic - so if you try, be very sure to have a back-up & another way to access your HD to restore it.

I can not try this myself yet - the Kernel made by Justin needs some little fix (http://osx86.co/f36/amd-fx-4100-cant-boot-into-any-version-t7646/)applied to work on the two-module-bulldozers / doesn't work for me yet...

[ryman]

I'm home from school,
ugh grade 12 classes no spares...... (free periods)
ok I'm going to try and apply that fix for you :)
the panic to printf and upload the universal kernel.
wow I'm shocked at the results I never would've expected it to work good. but hey :)

[justinster123]

Thanks but im still unable to boot in 64bit mode using -force64? It only boots using -legacy?

You NEED to have an amd cpu with SSSE3 instructions
IE Bulldozer, FX

maybe your confused with amd SSE3, no good for lion, requires SSSE3
if not, the system hangs with -force64 just before where launchd would say it's started up
launchd refuses to launch on my processor 64-bit

[justinster123]

@All try this one
specifically I applied the patch for R:A:W:X86
Please test :)
only fix I applied should be for pure 64-bit panic on some bulldozer, I'll look later,

Here's my results:

Now I needed to add a flag "arch = i386" to be able to start.

1 - with "arch = i386" + "-legacy" ... obviously everything started in 32-bit .. but not frozen no apps .. a + this time - 45 minutes
only the finder you need to use the patch
apparently super stable.


2 - with "arch = i386" + "-force64" ... obviously already started with all 64-bit apps .. SUPER fast boot!
agility in any task.
finder does not need to patch.
But the 32-bit apps do not open.

[felipeunix]

some more tests and was able to prove the following:

with the original finder:

x64 - system slowdown, 32-bit apps will not open
x32 - does not open, but does not freeze applications!

with patch finder:

x64 - slowly resolved!!! 32-bit apps will not open
x32 - opens but freezes the application again ..


I'm using x64 and patch finder, I get no 32-bit apps, but with the system very quickly and without crashes ^^

thanks for the support, I am available for whatever you need me!

Hey guys,

I just saw that qemu can emulate a processor type, something that vmware/virtualbox can't.
Anyone have already tried to use it to run OSX in a AMD box? (emulating a Intel processor, if it can).

[R:A:W:X86]

@All try this one
specifically I applied the patch for R:A:W:X86


Thanks for the recompile & your other efforts.
I know that what you have done means a lot of work.

However it seems that those of AnV's code changes you added, are no use to me / the FX owners:

The x86_64 Kernel does not work, it is instant reboot.
i386 is all the same like using bronzovka's v3 patch in both legacy and 64-Bit mode.
still no success with patching sysenter traps in dyld.

Anyway you did a good job, if your changes make the legacy mode more stable for the non-SSSE3 AMD users. :)

I'm thinking of getting a Intel G540 with a motherboard tomorrow and just move over.

[justinster123]

Thanks for the recompile & your other efforts.
I know that what you have done means a lot of work.

However it seems that those of AnV's code changes you added, are no use to me / the FX owners:

The x86_64 Kernel does not work, it is instant reboot.
i386 is all the same like using bronzovka's v3 patch in both legacy and 64-Bit mode.
still no success with patching sysenter traps in dyld.

Anyway you did a good job, if your changes make the legacy mode more stable for the non-SSSE3 AMD users. :)

I'm not going to be working on the source for a while, school's first.
I will try and se if I can find time during French class to upload my source since my home internet connection isn't that fast.

Sorry, things have been tough but I invite you all to make this kernel perfect so we can have a working lion once and for all :)
goodbye,
I'll post the source tomorrow If i can

[felipeunix]

I'm starting here with:

arch = i386-force64

Everything is very stable .. (only with 64-bit apps of course)

But I can live well only with them.

Only one problem related to Safari, pages with java script, crashes it.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

[R:A:W:X86]

my home internet connection isn't that fast.

diff -Nur xnu-1699.24.23_unpatched xnu-1699.24.23_patched > justinkernel.diffThis text file should be sized like a few 100KB - zip it and you can as well add it as attachment to this forum. :)

I have the same problem with my Safari, only it's on Snow Leopard. Lion's Safari works perfectly, how can this be... :-/

[felipeunix]

just pointing out that this problem is just the java x64.
x86 works perfectly!

Firefox + javascript works fine.
but when scrolling the pages has no Vsync. It is horrible, is how to solve it at least?

I will test IE.

[lunfai]

I know this is off-topic but I've now moved onto Intel with G540 + P8H61-M LE. Going great so far, need to do the Lion stuff again. :(

[lunfai]

Bronzovka GURU has released a statement that he has created a new version of the kernel that does not hang standard applications! More information tomorrow. :)

[justinster123]

the diff I got is 51.4 mb ...
can't upload that now/...

[R:A:W:X86]

Maybe you need to try without BUILD folders... ;)

Just some idea that came across my mind this morning - I was too tired at our conversation yesterday, to be able to make such conclusions. :p

[rhcp011235]

all this talk and all this so called dev work being done here is great to look at.

But,

A) I see no source code for anything?
B) Binary built kernels that i have no idea what they do.

Why are people not posting kernels with source? why is this is a guessing game? do we want lion/ML to work on AMD or not? Seriously, Think about it.

[justinster123]

umm because the diff I get is too large and text editors would crash, I'll post it later sheesh, I'm busy, and I just attempted to apply ALL previous patches

I've only seen ONE patch file. and it was posted by the orig russian dude.

I have not seen the FX series patch or anything else.

These things need to get on GIT/SVN/Google code or something. so people can work on it. Instead of bins being passed around that no one knows what the hell it does.

so there is two routes.


Also to note. When changes are to GNU code. the source should be posted. So, I dont know if this forum cares about this rule. but its being broken by everyone on it.

A) we play these games. and guess.
B) we get the code up and work. and make it work. (I think B is better)

Because A) will lead to nothing. Crash a text editor? it wont crash vi/nano or anything. its just a diff.

[lunfai]

Some of you sound ungrateful for anything. Just wait, he's not getting paid to do anything of this, and Dimitri isn't too, so stop sounding like spoilt children. If any of you was so keen to develop a fully working kernel with the source that's already provided in this thread, so work with that or just wait.

It's got nothing to do with getting paid. This is highly un-org. 60 pages of nothing.

no patch files. which take 3 seconds diff A X

if it was on GIT/SVN we could all work on it. instead of 1 person posting things. again with no source which is not GNU policy.

Here's the link to the v3 source. Instead of complaining go ahead and woe us. It might be under the GNU policy, but serious are you really going to sue him for not releasing? This is a forum, it's a discussion board, of course there's going to be a lot of posts that might not be of your taste, and it's not about getting paid, it's about the TIME AND EFFORT they put into developing the kernel. All the time and effort you've contributed is whining.

Seriously, now pick up your dummy.

[davisin666]

Looks like we will need to create a new branch of the kernel, and upload it to a version control system like git/svn.

BTW I'm selling my AMB MB/CPU in order to buy at least a 775 socket MB/CPU.
Nawcom is going to work in a kernel for AMD cpus, but I guess it will only work on Bulldozer processors.

That's one patch which was made. all its doing is blocking out panics. what has been done since then? as the other people have said. branch of kernel and patches put up.

This all non-sense here is getting us no where. and yes nawcom is working on some stuff.

Any news about that?

There's something wrong with the software update, but standard applications work. He's currently trying to fix this and trying to work out the encryption method in Lion.

Why are you complaining about CS6 only working in 64-bit mode? IF it runs, and works, then you SHOULD use 64-bit no matter what... Or do you mean 64-bit kernel causing other 32-bit apps to not work? You're not being specific enough to have even determined if you need to change hardware or not.

(with snow leopard) 64 bit is only userland.. Photoshop CS6 need a 64 bit kernel..it crash on startup T_T and i think thar the problem is linked with legacy kernel that isn't arch x85_64.

10.7.4 / AMD anybody?

Don't know if it is caused by using the old Kernel or if something went terribly wrong when using the pkg update:

After update I have a lot of kxtld errors during boot, looks like a lot of Kernel Extensions are not getting loaded, including AppelFileSystemDriver - so no more way to boot into the system. :-|

I already tried the usual like deleting all Caches etc...

[jeaton2012]

I seem to have permanently fixed the applications not opening problem :D

1) Wait for xpchelper to crash
2) Open terminal and type these in:
"sudo su"
"cd /private/var/folders"
"find /private/var/folders/ -type f | grep -i com.apple.xpchelper.cache"
3) cd to the first one that shows up on the list (it will be in a separate folder from the other xpchelper caches)
"rm -r com.apple.xpchelper.cache"
"pico com.apple.xpchelper.cache" ---> hit ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit
"chflags uchg com.apple.xpchelper.cache"
4) Reboot and you're done!

2) (open with text wrangler or whatever works)

root/.fseventsd/fseventsd-uuid

3) then go to utilities/system profiler.app

copy hardware UUID and replace it with the one in fseventsd-uuid

save fseventsd-uuid

reboot

Hi all!

Maybe problem network localhost ? Or problem CS ?
I speak to all you - maybe i end work on mach_kernel !

But after 5min or another time one problem - it is xpchelper , but program working. Why ?
Maybe problem network localhost ? Or problem CS ?
I speak to all you - maybe i end work on mach_kernel !

I wish I could help. For now, all I can do it test. I wanna thank you for your work on the kernel, thanks to you I have my system completely ready for Lion once the kernel has been fixed. Being able to boot in at least gave me the chance to get graphics, network, sound and sleep situated for the time being.

As soon as you're done with the kernel, my system will be 100% ready for it! Please let me know if you need help testing as you continue developing the kernel.

***EDIT*** Thought it might be helpful to add that my system is working perfectly with this kernel aside from the xpchelper issue, as well as losing copy/paste function after about ten mins. I also have issues making changes to certain prefpanes, networking being one of them. I'm wondering if it all has something to do with having to run the 32bit DP2 Finder. Perhaps xpchelper doesn't like that and that's why it keeps crashing out on us? No idea if that's even relevant, just my two cents.

[Fraom]

can anyone send me a finder.app from dp2 ??? tanks

I'm running on 10.7.4, but I don't know if that makes any difference. Also, instead of doing "chmod -x com.apple.xpchelper.cache" try "chflags uchg com.apple.xpchelper.cache" What this does is basically disable Mac OS X from accessing the cache, which seems is related to the application.

Here's a screenshot of what the console should output if you disabled the cache correctly. I have left my computer running overnight and still no change. Just be careful if you repair permissions as this will restore the cache.

http://i50.tinypic.com/1torro.jpg

EDIT: And yeah, I disabled "Report Crash" too so that shouldn't matter. I'm 100% sure that the app crash problem is solved, at least for me. Good luck! :D And thank you very much for the kernel Bronzovka!
EDIT EDIT: 1 Hour 21 Minutes later... still nothing:) Oh, and this also fixed the finder copy/past/move/empty trash problems too.

[anonomys209]

Just make sure you cd into the directory properly all directories end with "C/"

Kudos to that guy, he actually fixed it :D
I'm running Lion 10.7.2, so this seems to work on all versions :D

[anonomys209]

Well, mine seems to be working as well. I'm reluctant to say it's fixed until I let it run overnight and see what happens in the morning. I'm also afraid to reboot at this point LOL

Gotta give a huge thanks to bronzovka for the hard work on the kernel, and jeaton2012 for the huge tip with xpchelper. This is great! ^_^

PS: As a side note, I was having horrible lag issues with my QE/CI and my mouse, and since I've been watching the console I noticed a recurring error - IOHIDSystem cursor update overdue. Resending. - that turned out to be the culprit. Found a package called 10.7.2 update fixer that rolled back IOHIDSystem.kext to the 10.7.1 version and all is well. No lag and no mouse issues.

***EDIT*** After rebooting once, I'm back to being leggy again and I'm getting the same IOHIDFamily errors in console. Is anyone else getting this issue?? It's driving me nuts now that the system is running smoothly... My graphics and mouse are glitching...!! LOL

and to all of u guys who share their experience , this is great process

[xmaniak100]

so guys i see xpchelper is solved...are there any other problems that make me impossible to have normal hackintosh???if not HUUUUGEEEEE thx to bronzvooka or how is he called for kernel and jeaton2012 for his wiseness :) love you two guys...also is the kernel able to boot DVDs now?

[anonomys209]

Ok, ran overnight and apps, copy/paste is still working! To note, I also repeated the process for all four folders containing xpchelper.cache. Also notable, I have rebooted/repaired permissions several times, and xpchelper is still unable to write to cache!

The only issues I'm having now are with iCloud, and I'm also having problems with SystemPreferences.app whenever I make changes to network devices. I also notice at boot that my boot disk says (NO WRITE) next to it during verbose boot. Are we having issues with write permissions on the boot disk with the kernel? I may have missed that.

So what's next? Are there any plans to continue working on the kernel itself to get 64bit (at least userland) working? I wish I knew more to be able to contribute to the development, thanks for all the hard work guys.

***EDIT*** Is anyone else having this 'IOHIDSystem cursor update overdue' issue? It's killing me now lol the QE/CI is all sketchy and the mouse gets 'stuck' every few seconds!!! Any help for this one guys?

For the mouse issue, I found this (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=266227) thread which looks like it might fix your problem.

Also, if you haven't already, install the kext located in this (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=253773) thread. Without it, Lion is extremely buggy. I had the same problems until I dropped this one in my /Extra/Extensions folder.

For those of you experiencing general QE/CI lagginess on Lion, Snow, etc, try deleting AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext, then reboot, assign a corner of your desktop to sleep display (System Preferences>Mission Control>Hot Corners) and sleep your display with that corner after you boot up again. You should notice a huge increase in graphics performance.

I've actually already done both of those things in that thread, as well as rolled back my IOHIDFamily to a 10.7.1 version. As I said in a previous post, that worked for one boot and hasn't worked since. Thanks for your help though, hopefully I can find some more suggestions cuz this is really pissing me off lol Ps CS5 is pretty much impossible to use like this :(

***EDIT*** Just saw the second link is a VoodooTSCSyncAMD.kext. Gonna try that one ASAP. Going home in a few, will post results. Thanks again man!

[davisin666]

So, which version of the kernel is the latest??? V5???
If there is a new version, please post the download link :)

Haha, yeah without VoodooTSCSyncAMD my Lion install was completely useless (random hangs, buggy user interface, etc. I noticed a HUGE increase in everything after I installed that kext. And no problem! :)

EDIT: Davisin666, yes v5 is currently the latest, but some people have better results with the earlier versions too, so try those if v5 isn't working for you.

[medussa]

Just make sure you cd into the directory properly all directories end with "C/"

He asked us to do it only for the first directory but I've done it for all the directories listed.

Kudos to that guy, he actually fixed it :D
I'm running Lion 10.7.2, so this seems to work on all versions :D

Hi! plz if you can step by step, Im a little short with terminal :D Always got
that massage about, there is not such a directory. What directory?

[delgadilloalex]

can some one figure out iCloud would love that to work?

[anonomys209]

Haha, yeah without VoodooTSCSyncAMD my Lion install was completely useless (random hangs, buggy user interface, etc. I noticed a HUGE increase in everything after I installed that kext. And no problem! :)

Ya, I can't even seem to get that kext to load. Dropped it in E/E and just like the VoodooTSCSync.kext I had there before, it's not loaded with the OS. I really hope I can get this sorted out, I'm THIS close to a functional Lion install. I can live with a few bugs but this is driving me nuts.

Any word on the write issues on the boot volume? Is that just me? I'm still having trouble every time I reorder my network devices or add a network device, SysPrefs crashes. Anyone? Is this related or is this just me? :-/

***EDIT*** Installing the 10.7.4 Combo Update, hopefully afterwards I can apply these fixes and get better results.

Quick question: After I replace my mach_kernel, is there anything else I should do before I reboot?

...will I need to break permissions for xpchelper again?

[anonomys209]

Just bombed my install... :(

Oh well, gonna start fresh from iAtkos L2. At least now I have a gameplan....

[hanadriel]

Thank you very much I got, working here without crash!
But I'm having problems with App Store
I set up org.chamaleon.boot.pslist

<string> 0 </ string>

Always worked well, but now is not working anymore the error "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."

I've managed to fix the system preferences crashing that people have been experiencing when opening network preferences! Just put this (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79094064/Network.prefPane.zip) into /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and replace the existing one. Just make sure you back up the old one in case this one doesn't work.

[davisin666]

With the fix, it works awesome, even with those programs who use xpchelper (TextEdit, iTunes, etc).

But I'm still trying to enable QE/CI in my 9800GT (DVI/DVI) with many enablers (Even I've flashed the Mac Pro's 8800gt bios, because 9800GT and 8800GT are the same vga)

I can only boot with GraphicsEnabler=No, otherwise, it loses signal when trying to display the GUI. Of course I don't have QE/CI :-/

Anyone with any G92 card??? Which patch do you used (IOPCIFamily.kext, AppleACPIPlatform, DSDT)???

Thanks in advance! :)

Excellent, will test when I get home. I'm still struggling with the IOHIDSystem problem. I think it has to do with messing with my IOUSBFamily.kext trying to get sleep working. The only way I was able to get this board working with sleep on 10.6.7 was to use a custom IOUSBFamily.kext, but I think after I replace the new one with my old one is when I start having problems, but I'm not sure.

Gonna do yet ANOTHER fresh install and just leave the IOUSBFamily.kext alone and see what happens. I can live without sleep working lol

Thanks for the prefpane, will post results ASAP.

I really cannot figure out why I'm having these IOHIDSystem errors and QE/CI lags. I've tried the VoodooTSCSyncAMD.kext fix, I've tried rolling back my IOHIDFamily.kext, and I've tried just leaving it alone and running off a fresh install.

Anyone else running 10.7.2 having these issues? Anyone able to fix it? Thanks.

try specifying a bus ratio with a flag

x= your prossesor bus ratio frequency

on my phenom if i don't use this i get sound distortion and weird lags

How do you properly identify your processor's bus ration frequency? I found an equation somewhere a long time ago and I came up with busratio=15, but I've never really been convinced that this was correct. It's a Phenom II X6 1075T 3.0GHz. Any idea?

[Visioneer]

So maybe I missed something... I spent about an hour or two sifting the last 20 or so pages here and I can't really follow it very easily...

I can install snow leopard 10.6.0 or 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 (all retail) using ModUSB on my system and even get it running updated to 10.6.7/10.6.8 following a nice guide I found. But I don't even know where to start with Lion, and I NEED to get to Lion because it now supports my 6950 card.

I listed my specs earlier but here they are again:

Mobo: Asus Crosshair V Formula (AMD 990)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
GFX: AMD Radeon HD 6950 (w/unlocked shaders but can be bios switched to stock)
Mem: 16gb G.Skill 4x4 1600 9-9-9-24
Sound: Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium
PSU: Raidmax 850w continuous (though I guess this isn't that relative :P)
Other: 4 HDDs and 1 SSD (SSD is windows install, 3 HDDs are extra storage, 1 HDD is MAC, all are GPT and will show up properly) I also have a 75-1 usb card reader but I usually unplug it when installing Mac. And a simple Asus CD drive that seems to function properly.

Anyways yeah.. I'm pretty lost but I REALLY want to get a "Mac Pro" system running! :D

You need to have SL installed on one drive or partition, and then install Lion on a seperate one so you can replace the kernel and any kexts manually, since there aren't any distros that are bootable on AMD hardware yet.

[Visioneer]

Ok that's a start. But how do I actually install to another partition? Do I want to boot into Snow Leopard and run an installer? Also what files am I supposed to replace and where to get said replacements? I have a Lion retail image btw.

[anonomys209]

All I can tell you is what I did. I have 10.6.7 installed on a 160GB HDD. I downloaded iAtkos L2 and put that on a thumb drive. I formatted a second 500GB HDD. Then you Show All Files and browse to /System/Installations/Packages on the thumb drive (I assume it'll be the same on your retail copy) and open the OSInstall.mpkg and choose your second drive or partition to install. After it's done, you need to replace mach_kernel at the root of the new drive with the new one for AMDs, and you also need to use the DP2 32bit Finder.app I posted a few pages back because the kernel can't handle 64bit yet. You replace the one in your /System/Library/Coreservices folder on the new install. Then reboot and continue to set up your graphics and whatnot.

Don't know how this will apply to your situation but hopefully this helps.

I'm using original first mach_kernel 10.7.3 bronzovka

So I really have no idea what did it. I'm on my fourth reboot now and everything is still working fine. I know I got rid of HDAEnabler, AppleHDA & the ALC8xx kexts in S/L/E, and I installed the custom IOUSBFamily.kext I've been using in SL that enables sleep on my board, and somehow something did the trick. All working, got AppStore working, sleep and the whole nine. Just waiting for 64bit for FCPX and iCloud :)

***QUESTION*** How would I go about updating to 10.7.3 from here? Both times I've tried to update, I end up bombing the whole system. It won't even load the boot volume after. I've tried through Software Update and I've tried through Combo Update. I would like to get Messages working now, any suggestions? And has anyone found anything out about iCloud?

[xmaniak100]

Guys...I was installing next using next utility and...
Repair Permissions for "/System/Library/Extensions/VoodooTSCSyncAMD.kext" ... Done.
-- Total processed: 8 files (1 kexts) for 0 sec.

Updating system caches MAC OS X "Lion"...........
will that update of caches repair the xpchelper one?

And...when i try to update from 10.7.2 throught software update... It shows that my system is up to date...is there a fix?

I have similar issue, installed 10.7.2 and booted fine, seems to work. Wanted to get imessage, so updated to 10.7.3 using comboupdate, change kernel, then won't boot.:mad:
tried with bunch of kernel flags then somehow booted with -x -v ncpi=0x3000 arch=i386, then rebooted with -v npci=0x3000 arch=i386, then boots. now some USB not working because I used Tonyman multibeast for lion after updating to 10.7.3 and used USB rollback. Would you mind telling me which custom IOUSBfamily you used? I would like to try that.

I am try something to see if I can get iCloud to work.....will post later if succeed.

Well then you're in better shape than I am at this point LOL I have yet to even be able to boot after updating. I'm uploading the IOUSBFamily.kext that I'm using now, keep in mind that what works for me might not work for you so use it at your own risk lol

***EDIT*** Here ya go: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5n8bb1moaj0b4bn

I think before I try to update again I'm gonna make a Carbon Copy Cloner full bootable backup in case I screw something up. That way I can pick up where I left off instead of trying to find the right combination of kexts and bootflags all over again lol ;)

I've installed kexts and rebuilt caches several times since the xpchelper fix and it has not restored permissions yet. But, worst case scenario you just have to repeat the terminal commands and all will be well again.

iCloud/iMessage will not work on AMD systems, due to the kernel being self-compiled. The only way to get it working is using the vanilla mach_kernel, and you can't do that unless you're running an Intel system. Appstore will work flawlessly though.

Even if you have en0 </true>, ethernet device-prop, ethernetbuiltin. I think it's an underlying issue with the UUID not being passed to iCloud and iMessage that's not actually giving your device the authentication it needs to connect to the server. But I've not investigated the issue, but I've read countless posts online. Once I switched to Intel build, it worked automatically.

Here's a topic about the issue: http://revogirl.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/mysterious-icloud-setup-and-sign-in-problems/

What I am trying to do is, edit UUID line of iMac with Lion runnning that I have.

I also notice Apple checks for the autheticity of Lion when setting up for the first time when wireless is connected and if your Apple ID has no record of purchasing Lion, it won't pass. At least that is what happened to me. So Apple is definitely doing something about Lion.dmg on torrents...I think.

Has anyone tried to use the new Photo Booth yet? I have a Logitech HD Webcam that I've been using for Facetime and Photo Booth on SL with no problem.

Apparently the new Photo Booth effects only work in 64 bits. Same problem here, so I don't think it's camera related.

He means exiting fullscreen mode...happened to me as well but i think it happens just on non apple Apps cause for me it happend on angry birds but never in Safari

And BTW is there any ALC892 kext??? Cause VooDooHDA makes my audio fuzzy,AppleHDA is 64bit and HDAenablers doesnt work

[xmaniak100]

Update
Many people seem to have problems with iCloud – I know this thanks to the Google search statistics. Searches for setup and login issues are climbing steadily. Maybe it is time for me to start digging. A little deeper this time. Maybe. Maybe after I completed FileGuard. Ehm. We need Beta testers so… feel free to join us. That help me to finish it quicker. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth


Looks like apple will HAVE TO change it... Maybe next update will be good... And what about iDevices? Mine for example is running with self compiled kernel... And iCloud works... What if they would fetch something from it and replace it with the one here? I know its crazy idea but i saw that it is almost identical... And i mean they could fetch just the check and f.e. Emulate iOS

Who cares? If you can figure out iCloud to work on AMD, you can post 5 pages. I'd read'em. :p
BTW, I still have not been able to test replacing with legit UUID. What do you know? My graphics card went out. It won't boot when standing. only boots laid down. time for RMA.

Got to hold off testing lion. dang......

Actually was just able to recreate that error. I was recording in Logic Pro in fullscreen, finished my session and quit from fullscreen, and it basically quit the program & logged me out and back into the desktop. It was strange. Everything is still running smoothly though, I guess I just haven't shut a program down while it was in fullscreen yet LOL

As for audio, I haven't been able to get my onboard ALC887 working yet, but luckily I'm a recording engineer and I use a Tascam audio unit that has a sound card built in. I use official drivers for it and they work just fine. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

So after you updated from 10.7.2 you had to boot into Safe Mode and then you were able to reboot and it booted normally? With a few flags? Did you have to use them before?

i've installed 10.7.2 iatkos , but i've a problem some apps ( native ) don't work...
software update, itunes app store etc...
when i open it, in the dock it jump but don't start , anyone know the solution ? thanks

[todesto]

yes. when I added -x on -legacy -v npci=0x3000 then it booted. then I used Multibeast then used -v -f npci=0x3000 UseKernelCache=No, then booted but some USB didn't work and my airport (I have Atheros card) didn't work. kernel log showed something about PCI couldn't load. then I replaced your USB kext, my PCI kext from SL, now kernel panic on AppleACPI. :(

like I said, my HD5770 is also having a problem, I'm gonna have to hold off testing as I am send the card out today for RMA. my on board video can't have QE/CI. so just going to use windows for now.
once the card is back, I'm gonna start from scratch again.

[jeaton2012]

I was able to update to 10.7.4 pretty flawlessly. The only weird thing is that when I boot, it gives me a bunch of ?kxld? error notifications. It doesn't seem to affect anything, though. Lion works just the same as it did in 10.7.3. I updated by using the apple 10.7.4 combo update, and then replacing the mach_kernel and something like AppleFileSystemDriver.kext from 10.7.3? I'm at school right now but I'll check it to see what I did when I get home.

[ryman]

Is there a new kernel for 10.7.4?

[m28ew]

easily updated to LION 10.7.4
I just need to replace (rollback) the AppleSMC.kext with the old one from 10.7.3

http://s18.postimage.org/6v0wab8uh/amd_1074_01.gif

Maybe it has something to do with updating from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 directly. I'm gonna download the 10.7.3 combo update and start there, cuz I've now bombed my install 3 times. Thank GOD for Carbon Copy Cloner (if you don't have it you should get it, it's free).

Has anyone updated from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 yet?

[anonomys209]

I was able to update to 10.7.4 pretty flawlessly. The only weird thing is that when I boot, it gives me a bunch of ?kxld? error notifications. It doesn't seem to affect anything, though. Lion works just the same as it did in 10.7.3. I updated by using the apple 10.7.4 combo update, and then replacing the mach_kernel and something like AppleFileSystemDriver.kext from 10.7.3? I'm at school right now but I'll check it to see what I did when I get home.

Giving that a shot right now. Cuz that's the kext that's not loading right before it gets stuck at STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE. Also, I see those errors in my verbose boot too but if they aren't affecting anything from working properly after boot I don't really care about that lol

Gonna try combo update AGAIN and replace just the AppleFileSystemDriver.kext and go from there. Thanks for all your help bro.

Reinstall AppleATIATA.kext too. If you get the waiting for root device, that's the kext that isn't loading properly.

[anonomys209]

I don't believe I have that kext installed even on 10.7.2, maybe that's my problem? I just rolled back the AppleFileSystemDriver.kext, mach_kernel & Finder.app, rebooted and I'm stuck at the same point.

Maybe I should install that kext?

I did 10.7.3 > 10.7.4 via Delta Update pkg.

I would guess it just depends on some part of the caches beeing rebuild, wether your system will boot or not.

Most likely using xnu-1699.26.8 will do the trick, but we will have to wait until Apple releases the source code, so we can recompile & try...

It's worth a shot! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79094064/AppleATIATA.kext.zip

Don't forget that this needs the SATA mode changed from AHCI to IDE in order to be any use...

[anonomys209]

Ok this is getting weird lol using that kext I'm gonna have to change SATA config in bios?? Every Hackintosh install I've ever had required me to turn on AHCI. So this is gonna be interesting lol and it will probably not let me boot into my SL without changing BIOS settings lol grrrrr

[R:A:W:X86]

Well there are (have been) mainboards using the IDE interface for accessing devices and / or mainboards with chipsets that do not support AHCI.^^
Those controller that are not supported natively by OS X (AMD/ATI, SiS, VIA, nForce etc) of course need some extra kext driver. ;)

When in AHCI mode your ATA controller has a different device ID then in IDE mode & that kext would not even getting loaded.

...forgot to mention; that kext should work for Snow Leopard as well...

[jeaton2012]

Yeah, haha, I didn't know that. I guess I'm one of the people with no AHCI SATA support then. It makes sense considering my computer is six years old. ^_^

[anonomys209]

Ok man. Gonna give this another shot before I restore again from my 10.7.2 backup and try to just update to 10.7.3, since all I really want is Messages. Will post results.

Thanks again guys, this thread has been really helpful.

[jeaton2012]

Okay I got it. I messed up my 10.7.4 install, so instead of restoring from my CarbonCopyCloner backup (yes, it is great:D) I decided to start fresh from iAtkos L2. The kext that you need to back up and replace is IOStorageFamily.kext. But anyways, I was able to successfully update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 so it's not impossible, just be sure to back up and replace that kext.

Here's the kext btw: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79094064/IOStorageFamily.kext.zip

[anonomys209]

I'm in! Had to install that IOStorageFamily.kext and then I had to boot up with safe mode (it said the drive was repaired during fsck in verbose boot) and now it's booting fine! Have to roll back my graphics driver to the custom kext for Radeon HD 5750 and that's it.

THANKS A TON BRO.

***EDIT*** I also have to boot with npci=0x2000 now didn't have to before

[jamdownian]

is there any updated kernel that was released lately that has a broader support?
if there are any is there any supprt for amd phenom mobile cpus.

[anonomys209]

After all this, are they seriously gonna tell me now that I can't register for Messages with my @me account??? :mad:

Hey bro are you using iMessage on 10.7.4?

[jeaton2012]

Hey bro are you using iMessage on 10.7.4?

Yeah, I get the same error as you :/ Facetime, Messages, iCloud, they're all dependent on whether you have a vanilla kernel or not, unfortunately... hopefully someone can find a workaround sometime soon.

Damn. Now I'm bummed lol

I was using Facetime and MobileMe and whatnot on SL using a legacy_kernel, so hopefully someone figures this out too :( :(

[anonomys209]

Oh well. For the time being, I'm content with what we've been given LOL

Thanks again to the bronzovka for the kernel ( although he hasn't said much since he said he was gonna stop working on the kernel :( ) and jeaton2012 thank you buddy for everything. Your troubleshooting has helped me out big time.

I've explained why it doesn't work, I don't see what you don't understand. You'll need someone who is good at configuring the kernel to authentic a correct UUID, and then maybe it'll work. Revogirl stated that the source they release isn't 100% the same source they compile and run at cupertino, so let's say it's a conspiracy.

Now there's a very risky method but if you install iMessage on intel hack or real mac and CCC the imessage.app and restore on the amd hack, then that might be a workaround but I've not tested or tried this.
