Lion with AMD

[anonomys209]

Is anybody else experiencing constant HD activity? Not sure if it's writing but all that activity is not good/safe for SSD :-/

Also, after a few minutes if I try to run certain apps they stay bouncing on the dock and never open. (apps like Software Update, TextEdit, and others. Tasks like copying using Finder also hangs. Finder.app could be the cause of this? Im using the 32-bit version from DP2)

You probably haven't patched xpchelper. If you read back through the thread you'll find instructions. Unless you already did that and it's something else entirely lol :)

I remember something about the zz folder, flag nouchg? Do I have to do it every time I boot? uhm...

EDIT: I forgot to do it after I upgraded with Update Combined 10.7.4 (could that have caused it to reset it?)

[anonomys209]

I don't recall whether or not I had to do it again after the Combo Update, but I'd say it'd be worth a shot haha

The apps not launching and copy/paste function was all related to xpchelper for me.

[spidy86]

has anyone tried the lion kernel for mountain lion??

I had a 2nd one I hadn't uchg'd... Problem solved! Thanks for the reminder!

I delelted the 2nd one, and created a blank file, then did the chflags uchg on it. Everything working as expected.

EDIT: Ok, so I fixed the issue with xpchelper, but now I still have the HD light going berzerk! I have a feeling this is killing my SSD ....fast!

10.7.3 with v6 kernel wasn't doing this, but I can't boot 10.7.4 with v6 kernel, I get ___kernel___ errors... Any clues?

[Asgrad]

Hey guys, anyone with 10.7.4 and v6 kernel flagged the cache, deleted the report crash and still can't copy/move/delete/empty trash? Can anyone help me? I did the whole uchg flags on xpchelper cache and deleted the crash report files, didn't help...

[majicones]

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.
I need Help!!! I have snow leopard and windows 7, with iatkos l2 on another partition but I can't boot it even when use the mach_kernels.

[m4f1050]

How can I find out what is hammering my harddrive? I checked "ps aux" and all seems normal. I can "df" a few times in a minute and see my free space go down. I have installed 10.7.4 twice but had to restore to 10.7.3.. I did CCC'd it onto a 2.5" sata drive, which I will be using for testing. I don't want to mess up my SSD.

EDIT: I installed SONAR FILE MONITOR and there is NOTHING showing up while the HD light blinks non-stop. I disabled Spotlight completely. I even emptied the /var/log and /Library/Log folders and I chflags uchg them and the blinking doesn't stop! UGH!

EDIT 2: Well I just found out my 10.7.3 install started doing it also. And when I booted 10.7.4 it wasn't doing it. I will capture everything I can (ps, top, etc etc) in both scenarios and compare it to see what could be causing this...

[m4f1050]

Ok, an update... On 32-bit OS X Lion I have installed everything I have on my OS X Snow Leopard except 2 things (well, 3...)

Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Installer starts but quits at the beginning.. 64-bits?)
Final Cut Pro X (64-bits)
Xcode 4.3.2 (I installed Xcode 4.2.1 which is 32-bits)

If we get the SSSE3 emulator I think we are golden!

In RE: to the HD activity, it is a hit & miss situation for me. If when I boot OS X Lion I get HD activity on the login screen I simply reboot the machine and usually the 2nd time around it has no HD activity. I compared on both occasions with and without hd activity "dmesg" and "ps aux" and only difference were in dmesg on the one without HD activity there was an fsck_hd ran... I am still trying to figure out if this is the case always. Will let you all know later..

EDIT: I copied all the Adobe stuff on /Applications and from /Library/Application Support and I got Photoshop CS 4 working. So I would only be missing 1 app which I never really use (Final Cut Pro X) I think I can use this OS X Lion as my daily OS.. Nice... Good job RAW X86! Your 10.7.4 Kernel seems to be holding pretty good on 32-bits and my AMD Phenom II X4!

[no1youknowz]

I haven't yet read through all of the 100 pages lol.

But has anyone managed to get this installed and running on a VM?

[ham4ever]

Yes , i did run Lion in VirtualBox :)

[bozzo]

Yes , i did run Lion in VirtualBox :)

I've currently got 10.6.8 running perfectly in VirtualBox, on an AMD Phenom II system.
However, I've scoured the net and grabbed everything I can find, including several bootloaders (Chimera 1.9.2-1, etc.) and Lion all-in-one images (iATKOS_L2, and Niresh12495-Lion-10.7.3-V2).

For the life of me I cannot get anywhere with Lion on VirtualBox.

Please, ham4ever, could you write a quick howto, or link to where you got your information from.

Thank you, :)

i installed lion on an external hd via macbook, replaced the kernel with "bronzovkAnVoodoo_0_9_26",
i was able to successfully boot into lion desktop with command "-legacy -v arch=i386 npic=0x3000"
but the finder seems to be not working, i tried the dp2 finder, no luck either...
i've got 9800 gt, it was natively supported in 10.6.7 on my hackpro, i got full resolution, but everything seems to be very flashy...

can you please give me any suggestion for what to do to make my 10.7.4 work? thanks a lot in advance!

You need to rename (or delete Finder.app from /System/Library/CoreServices and use the DP2 version which is 32-bit)

[Papier101]

Is it possible to update from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.4 on AMD?

[m4f1050]

Snow Leopard is 10.6.x and Lion is 10.7.x

I believe you can't update from one main version to another unless you reinstall over it, and if you don't erase the partition it should keep your files.

Any chance this is written in english somewhere? Even with Google Translate, I can't quite follow it.

[anonomys209]

...so still no 64bit app support on AMD Lion yet..

I'm starting to think anyone who knows how to work on this sort of thing has given up :( Still waiting to be able to run Lion on my main office computer (need FCPX, 64bit only) and I have no idea where to start or I'd work on it myself.

...anyone...??

Hi. I installed 10.7.2 through Snow Leopard using iATKOS L2 and installing to a separate partition and replacing the kernel. I have an AMD Phenom 9850 BE. I have read that my processor isn't even supported at all yet I can run the operating system fine, with the exception of a couple of problems. After the operating system has been running for a while, say 20 minutes, the stock applications do not launch. They sit bouncing on the dock forever until I force close them. Another problem is about the same time finder will not do file operations. When the window for say copying comes up it just sits there at copied Zero of XX.MB. I also cannot update to 10.7.3 or 10.7.4, I cannot boot if I do.

hello,


it comes from your startup partition that uses kernel_legacy, boot with mach_kernel -legacy npci=0x2000 -v

You have put your chameleon to date?

It could be that the kernel you are using is not working with your system!

I would try a other one.. ;)

probably with your system the FakeSMC.kext is loaded or it is not installed. Importantly which you installed the correct version and which installation place. If you start Lion with usekernelcache=yes, also the Kexte must lie in /S/L/E, since otherwise Lion ignores the drivers in /E/E. If you with usekernelcache=No start then must all drivers in S/L/E lie!! If your system to the same places stops then deletes intelcpupowermenagment.kext from S/L/E and takes the SleepEnabler: kext with nullpowermanagement.kext then it should actually start. I had also had the same problem

hello ,

Merci d'utiliser la traduction google .

Je viens de tester la distro blanGsak v4 équipé de kernel AMD traité sur ce site , pour confirmer le non boot sur les processeurs AMD k10 en 32 bit et encore moins 64 bit comme prêtant frisco2 !!

j'ai testé tout les kernel AMD de la distro et aucun ne fonctionne en installation direct via USB/DVD ou machine virtuelle VTBox .

ceci dit , je penses qu'il y a une chance pour les FX !? n'en possédant pas , je n'ai pas pu faire de test .

voici quelques images :

Welches Programm sprichst du? Handel und was Sie erreichen wollen?
ist es am besten, dass Sie Ihren Job mit jedem teilen, wie Dimitrik, R:A:W:X86, Nawcom's -und andere.
Ich persönlich habe mehrere operative Mhac und ich glaube nicht nach einem AMD laufen auf Mac OS X arbeiten
Wenn ich helfen kann, wird es mit Freude und Leidenschaft sein.

Denn jetzt gibt es keine Lösung für den Einbau direkt, ich hoffe, es sich entwickeln wird.

[gils]

gils can u tell me the steps u took for your 10.7 installation on Asus M5A97PRO / Phenom x4 960t /


yep !!!

[frisco2]

….. Also, ich habe mir die beiden Patch-Dateien von Dimitrik und R:A:W:X86 intensiver miteinander verglichen und festgestellt, dass sie zwar den AMD Prozessor mit aufführen aber nicht explizit den K10, kannst du mir zustimmen GILS ?.


Mir ist bewusst das der Phenom II nicht SSSE3 tauglich ist.


Ich habe eine AMD Phenom II Binär-Datei. Und stelle mir vor, entweder einen Emulator der auf die Binär-Datei zugreift um ein SSSE3 zu emulieren oder eventuell die Binär Datei in den modifizierten Kernel oder in die Patch-Datei einzuprogrammieren.


Eine Patch-Datei die explizit den K10 anspricht habe ich bereits, diese Patch-Datei habe ich nicht selber geschrieben. Wenn ich mit dieser Patch-Datei boote, dann bleibt das System auf der Zeile DSMOS stehen. Ich habe alles ausprobiert, leider bisher ohne Erfolg. Wie gesagt ich bin kein Programmierer, ich nehme an, dass die Patch-Datei einen sehr großen Einfluss auf den modifizierten Kernel hat. Ich gehe davon aus, dass wenn man die Informationen, die benötigt werden in den modifizierten Kernel fehlen dann kann das System auch nicht booten.

Im Klartext, jemand hat eine Patch-Datei erstellt, die von der Idee sehr gut ist aber die mach_Kernel nicht darauf angepasst.

Es wäre sehr gut wenn Dimitrik und R:A:W:X86 auch dazu stellung nehmen könnten

Salut , frisco2

là , où je ne comprends pas ,on parle de jeux d'instructions SSSE3 que n'a pas la serie atlon/phenom k10 , donc pas capable 64 bit , alors que le FX qui est capable 64 bit n'est pas lui non plus SSSE3 !!??

I'm not sure if this is against the rules or not. But does anyone know of a VM in existence that has a working boot up for AMD?

I don't currently have the time to spend trying different things out. All I want it to do is run xcode to develop on.

There is no working SSSE3 Emulator until now.
So there is no way to run 64 bit Kernelmode with a K10 CPU!!

By the way frisco2 and gils please write english, because all people should understand whats written in this thread.

[xmaniak100]

I haven't yet read through all of the 100 pages lol.

But has anyone managed to get this installed and running on a VM?


I am 100% sure it is possible



AAAAnd wastez...is it possible to boot 64 bit if you have SSE3 supported but you dont have bulldozer(AMD FX) CPU?

[R:A:W:X86]

It is about SSSE3 not SSE3 support.
Only the following CPU are capable (SSSE3 + 64-Bit extensions):



Lion Vanilla-Kernel compatible Intel
AMD Bulldozer
AMD Bobcat (mobile APUs / embedded CPUs, most likely graphics won't work)
VIA Nano (atm not supported in the Kernel, but AnV has written methods for these, that could be added. I haven't considered this necessary - Lion on such feeble CPU would be no fun.)

Aha... but couldnt it be patched??? My athlon is getting to the point where OS X is waiting for root device... or at least cannot we boot at least in user 64 bit mode???(the fake one)??? cause my audio kexts work only in 64 bit and i canthave stable lion W/O them


And guys...just seeking an advice...should i go for this CPU http://shop.amd.com/us/All/Detail/Processor/FD4170FRGUBOX#Details ??? Or should I spend 50 more euros and buy new mobo and inteli 3/5?

dunno where your information comes from, but the FX has SSSE3 support:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_FX_microprocessors

Aha... but couldnt it be patched???
Where there's a will there's a way.
But that way will be a rocky road & I currenlty see noone to walk it.

To speak for myself I don't have any skills to write some simd emulation.

And even if there would be some other workaround for this - I don't have a platform to do testing on this.
I was playing with the thought of getting some Sempron 14* to try some stuff, but I don't want to waste 30 bucks on something with a bare possibility to work in the end...

cause my audio kexts work only in 64 bit and i canthave stable lion W/O them
64-Bit only Kernel Extensions require the X86_64 Kernel.
Having i386 Kernel with 64-Bit support enabled, won't work for this.

Currently I don't even have this working on the FX - all patched Kernel builds are i386 only.

And guys...just seeking an advice...should i go for this CPU http://shop.amd.com/us/All/Detail/Processor/FD4170FRGUBOX#Details ??? Or should I spend 50 more euros and buy new mobo and inteli 3/5?
Seriously?
If you could / would effort this, I'd do.

My main Workstation is equipt with an Intel Xeon E-1220 - so I can compare directly & the OS X work expierence is much better.

Altough the AMD-OSx86 thing is still fun to me.^^ :D

[gils]

@R:A:W:X86

hello,

ok, this info was not clear in my research, the FX is 3SE.
Will we one day run correctly the K10 as a 64-bit? Or will you join the circle of it missing processors like the IBM PPC?
It is true that with a E1220 processur Untel, care about them do not exist. Myself being equipped with a E1230, the least we can say this is not history.
thank you anyway for your work and your patient even if it is a game for you.

[wastez]

@ gils
If nobody will write a SSSE3 Emulator we will get stuck at this point and there will no way to run it in 64 bit kernelmode ever.
My mind is that nobody will do this, cause there are alternatives which are working.

@ xmaniak100
I would spend the money in an Intel System cause a Intel will work with the vanilla kernel. You don´t have to patch your binaries and as long as apple will take intel cpus the system will be compatible.

Hey Guys,

I keep on getting this:

The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.

I had snow leopard 10.6.8 working fine under ubuntu 11.10 but I've upgraded to 12.04 and now I'm getting this message. I've patched it to allow Apple machine but what else do I need to do? I can't recall what else.

This is the same for 10.7.4 vm that I grab from the net.

With virtualbox I just get a kernel panic.

Thanks

Hi. I registered on this forum just to reply on this topic. :)

I've got Lion 10.7.2 running on AMD. 32-bit only though...
I installed it to another partition from my Snow Leopard, replaced the kernel, added kexts and replaced the Finder.app with the one from DP2.

My boot flags: -legacy arch=i386 npci=0x3000
I use Bronzovka's kernel V4. The system hasn't crashed even single time in few days.
Only problem I've found is with Logic Pro 9, it crashes for some unknown reason...

But now I'm interested in 64-bit. I have Phenom II 965. I've read few pages of this topic and it seems to be pretty damn hard to get the kernel running in 64. So, what blocks the 64 bit? Is the kernel compiled only for 32/i386?

Your processor is not bulldozer, there is no kernel with 64bit support for previous AMD bulldozer CPU (i.e. athlon, phenom..)

Your CPU is the problem why 64 bit will not work.
To run 64 bit kernel your CPU has to support SSSE3 instructions, and yours doesn´t support that.
So if you like to run 64 bit (userland, not kernelmode) you have to stay on Snow Leopard.

Don´t know it for sure (because i don´t know the error log), but much apple software need SSSE3 instructions too (like Final Cut X).
And i could imagine thats the same for logic but to be sure you have to post the log.

[Deltac0]

Yea, I know that. I was just wondering if someone could write SSSE3 emulator?

I'm also interested in kernel developing, just grabbed XCode 4.2 on my SL and compiled Lion XNU with AMD patches...
Still no boot, but its fun to take a look at the source of the kernel. :p


EDIT: Seems like the SSSE3 instructions are all in the commpage, which is written in Assembly...
Am I right, someone who actually knows something, could you confirm this?

[frisco2]

Hi Jungs,
einen Emulator finde ich Prima !!!
Ich habe im Internet gesucht und bin auf ein paar ältere Webseiten (osx86.co › InfiniteMac (http://www.google.de/url?url=http://osx86.co/archive/index.php&rct=j&sa=X&ei=RU74T9vxDITesgaUweSMBQ&ved=0CGcQ6QUoADAD&q=sse+emulator+for+lepard&usg=AFQjCNEFvyIgPVDUMqQimL0OOxD0YSBkMA&cad=rja) und insaneleymac) aufmerksam geworden. Es ging um die ersten SSE Emulationen für 10.4 daraufhin habe ich das Thema weiter verfolgt und habe diese Seiten gefunden
http://developer.amd.com/archive/cpu/SSEPlus/Pages/default.aspx und http://sseplus.sourceforge.net/ vielleicht kann R:A:W:X86 (http://osx86.co/member.php?u=90041897) oder bronzovka es irgendwie Sinnvoll nutzen, eventuell um einen geeigneten AMD Kernel Patch zu realisieren?

Auf der Seite ist unter download ein Tool , das die Daten der CPU einliest, es wird auch von einem SSEPlus (http://sseplus.sourceforge.net/SSEPlus.pdf) Emulator geschrieben?, leider habe ich davon null Ahnung, bitte nicht böse auf mich sein.

Desweiteren habe ich hier noch ein paar AMD Phenom II Binäar-Dateien siehe Link

http://www.amd64.org/index.php?id=50&file=amd-ucode-2012-01-17.tar.asc


Und hier noch die xnu-1699.26.8.tar.gz hier
(http://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/xnu/)

Für 10.4. war es doch Möglich einen SSE3 emulator zu realisieren warum nicht jetzt für LION einen SSSE3 Emulator?

Was ist mit "SSE-Plus" ? das ist doch in der Lage einen SSSE3 zu emulieren?
Und was ist mit EM64T???????

Kann Jemand meine Fragen beantworten?

try to install firefox and disable the hardware acceleration from adobe.
to do this just click right inside a flash video, select settings and uncheck "enable hardware acceleration" this should change the setting over all browsers.

this helped me to get flash working! report back please.

Doesn't matter what browser I use, I get the same result. Nothing pops up.

Hello, everybody!

First of all, thanks to RAW x86 for his great job. Get the (still) latest osx on a (relativelly) cheap AMD machine is the pinnacle of hackintoshing.

I have lion 10.7.2 running 32-bit on an Athlon II x2 250 with bronzovka v4 kernel. It's nice and stable, just like someone else told. The main issues are that i had to swap the original finder with DP2 32-bit finder, and that even this solution has its bugs (doesn't copy/cut/paste/erase) so i had to install Path Finder.

I tried the update to 10.7.4 with both bronzovka v6 and RAW x86 latest kernels. With bronzovka's i couldn't even boot. With RAW's, as i have a non-Bulldozer CPU, i got 32-bit with that described permission bug. The result was somewhat worse than what i already got with 10.7.2, because the finder restrictions now affected Path Finder, installers and disk utility too, so i had to change back to 10.7.2.

But i'm AMD-stubborn, and i'm willing to effort an upgrade to a Bulldozer/Piledriver CPU to enjoy Lion in full 64-bit experience, besides it's a great CPU. Therefore i need to get the answers to some questions before making this upgrade:

1) The original lion finder will work out of the box, since the system will run at 64-bit? It's very annoying to resource to DP and path finders to get the work done;

2) 64-bit-only kexts and apps will work? The answer to this question may look obvious, but nothing in OsX86 is really the way it seems;

3) 32-bit apps will continue to work in 64-bit mode?

4) The core services and apps will stop being impossible to launch after x minutes from reboot? Another problematic point in lion with AMD;

5) The kernel will possibly work in a newer Piledriver CPU, since it's basically an enhanced Buldozer?

Thanks in advance for the answers!

Xcode is a 64bit app :( so It can't be run on our 32bit only Lion. You can install Xcode 4.2 but you will have to change the system version before installing by editing a file. You will have to do that every time you run Xcode and or you want to restart. Basically you have to spoof that your OS X is 10.6 to run Xcode 4.2 on Lion. and don't forget to change it back to default when you would like to restart else OS X won't boot.

hello,

like you, I'm Forcia AMD but you have to face the fact that Intel has chosen to make more sense.
The finding of FX is overwhelming, less effective than K10 x6, I fear that the arrival of the new FX 83xx is still worse than the first of the series! will be reduced to increase speed and to consumption at the same time for poor performance.

The same K10 x2/4/6 offered good performance on OS X while not working at all on certain application. AMD stock on OS X is very mixed, given the price / performance.

i3 2100 /100 € /65 w = x4 955/100 € /95/125 w> FX 4100/100 €/95/118 w!

E31230 /80 w/ 200 € >> 20 % !! FX 8150/125 w / 190 €

For you to see.

It´s only possible if your CPU does support SSSE3. (Bulldozer for example)
I don´t know you CPU so i can´t tell you if your cpu will be able to do but if it´s not a relative new cpu it will not support it.

I don´t know you CPU so i can´t tell you if your cpu will be able to do but if it´s not a relative new cpu it will not support it.

Thanks for replying:

I have this: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1045T Processor × 6

This CPU doesn´t support SSSE3, so there is no chance to run it in 64 bit kernelmode in the moment.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll be buying an intel set-up then!

[R:A:W:X86]

With RAW's, as i have a non-Bulldozer CPU, i got 32-bit with that described permission bug. The result was somewhat worse than what i already got with 10.7.2, because the finder restrictions now affected Path Finder, installers and disk utility too, so i had to change back to 10.7.2.I think that bug should be fixed with latest build (http://osx86.co/f100/10-7-4-amd-kernel-t7687/post58158.html) - although some further testing is needed.

My own experience is that my Bulldozer Hackintosh is finally running very stable & I am able to use all my software without any limitations. :)

People with other demands (software I am not using etc) may have a differing expierence - dunno...

But i'm AMD-stubbornMe too. :D
Anyway Intel is the better way to go, if you consider using OS X as your main operating system.

For example keep in your mind, that we may never be able to run Mountain Lion on our AMD machines (this ain't that unlikely for some reasons), any system update can cause problems i.e. depencies that cannot be solved until the source code for a new Kernel version is released (often some week after the release of the corresponding system update) etc.

Of course if your mainboard would support a Bulldozer upgrade (bios update etc) & you want to use Lion, this could be a "cheap at purchase" alternative.

1) The original lion finder will work out of the box, since the system will run at 64-bit? It's very annoying to resource to DP and path finders to get the work done;Yes. 64-Bit software works.

2) 64-bit-only kexts and apps will work? The answer to this question may look obvious, but nothing in OsX86 is really the way it seems;No 64-Bit kexts.
The Kernel is i386 only. Kernel Extensions made for X86_64 Kernel only will not work.

3) 32-bit apps will continue to work in 64-bit mode?Yes but not 100% ootb.
Running 32-Bit software requires the SYSENTER opcode, which is not avaible on AMD CPUs in 64-Bit enabled system mode.
Sysenter traps have to be patched in dyld & libsystem_kernel.dylib for 32-Bit Apps to work in compatibility mode.

4) The core services and apps will stop being impossible to launch after x minutes from reboot? Another problematic point in lion with AMD;Those problems are -legacy mode only.

5) The kernel will possibly work in a newer Piledriver CPU, since it's basically an enhanced Buldozer?Most likely yes - of course: no warranty for anything related to those Kernel. ;)

[uchihaxyz]

what is the function of -legacy ? and how can I drop it ?

[The Connactic]

Somehow I lost my previous account. Asked to reset my password but the new one never comes. Anyway, I'm back. Thank you again, RAW X86: your new updated kernel did the trick. Now i'm running 10.7.4 and the permissions bug is gone for good.

Gils, i'm an AMD stubborn, and i'm not exagerating: think i'll rather buy a piledriver set than change to intel; the price/performance ratio still pends to AMD side and i still have faith that the newer AMD CPUs can make through this tribulated transition to 64-bit kernel and extensions. As a matter of fact, i can tell i totally agree with you as far as OsX86 user experience is concerned: i have a hackintoshed atomN450 netbook, and it causes me far less trouble, runs 64-bit kernels and extensions and performs better than under windows7, even without current native suport for this CPU.

Uchihaxyz: Answering directly to your question, -legacy is the boot flag that forces your system boot 32-bit. I think RAW meant 32-bit mode when he said legacy mode. You can't "drop it" on an AMD system, unless you have a ssse3-enabled CPU (buldozer family). A couple of days ago, before the answer of RAW and his upload of his uptaded kernel, i had updated again to 10.7.4. The permissions bug discussed was there and didn't go away, but i tried a new approach to the core apps crashing issue: installed all i need when was still running 10.7.2/bronzovka's V4, and didn't change the original finder, relying on path finder (paid program, 30day trial) to do the finder thing. Worked surprisingly, I don't know how or why, and i could start and quit core service apps anytime I wanted to. But, as I needed airdrop to work, I called dp2 finder back and the crash issue returned. Besides this, I updated the kernel to the latest RAW's. Maybe the return of the crash bug is related to former, to the latter or to none (or both) of them. Who knows? But worth a try, if you have patience and a good backup for your data.

Asking to RAW X86 again: is it possible to enable iCloud/Facetime with your kernel? Appstore and iTunes store work like a charm with the en0/built-in ethernet Yes/latest chameleon/smbios patch, but iCloud/Facetime refuse to accept me to log in. In fact, i have this problem with my atom netbook too. Do iCloud/Facetime work only with vanilla kernel, perhaps?

[no1youknowz]

This CPU doesn´t support SSSE3, so there is no chance to run it in 64 bit kernelmode in the moment.

Is anyone working on SSSE3?

[burger888]

Umm, sounds good. Can you recommend one? I've got a Gigabyte ATI 6850 (GV-R685OC-1GD)

Here's my current extract from System Information:

ATI Radeon HD 6xxx:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 6xxx
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 1024 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Anyone recommend an alternative ATI kext?

Yea. I am also looking forward to these.
The so far leaked information on Vishera sounds very promissing.

Specialy thosen 83*0 with 95W TDP / 16MB cache could earn AMD a good market position one more time, if sold for a reasonable price. :cool:

Actualy iCloud doesn't work on my Xeon Workstation too.
Might be fixable, but I haven't ever cared any further about these programs, as I am not interested in using them anyway...

Is anyone working on SSSE3?Does not look like if there is someone, with the necessary skills, who's currently into this..

Higly recommended not to use any extra kext.

Hmmm..... I Found More Info On How XPCHelper Works Here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/OSX_Technology_Overview/SystemTechnology/SystemTechnology.html

Interesting It Tells What Is Involved in XPCHelper
and Maybe We Can Look Into it To Try and Patch Stuff?

[The Connactic]

Great, justin!

However, it would be palliative, yet a very useful one, to concentrate efforts at tweaking the i386 patched lion kernel. Okay, let's work on it, like RAW X86 worked on adding support on it for 64-bit apps on ssse3-enabled Bulldozer CPUS at least, and it was great.

But i think it's time to move on and face the true endeavor: the 64-bit legacy kernel, be it for Lion, be it for the new OsX Mountain Lion. We're already at the fringe of Mountain Lion era and, without a x64_86 legacy kernel, we AMD hackintoshers won't make it!

[burger888]

Burger, the menu bar is translucent?

Yep, and I get the "ripples" when adding widgets to the dashboard.

[The Connactic]

So you have QE/CI, and the problem is rather software than hardware-related...

[Unrealized]

Yep, it does work beautifully - however Adobe Flash video's do not play and I cannot figure out why!?

Because you need to install Flash manually on Lion. ;)


(I personally hope we could get rid of Flash completely soon - It's an old piece of burden, hope HTML5 will soon take over)

Yes, I've done that too but no joy. Maybe I'm up for a re-install...

I'd like to try to turn off the hardware acceleration, but I can't even get the options window up to be able to set it. Does anyone know where this flag is set, so that I can edit manually?

I compiled a 10.7.4 kernel with a mix of patches with R:A:W 's patches and the anv's legacy kernel 0.5.1 for on the fly patching, it boots up for x86_64 and i386 without instant reboot. but gives a kernel panic near where launchd would start up...
I'll upload it soon for you to test.. I doubt you'll get any further than the KP tho, interesting that I am the only one who made a kernel that didn't instantly reboot....

hello,

I just tested your kernel on my phenom x4 and x6 in unlocker, actually, it loads normally and then finished cpu panic without reboot, you hit the goal! good job, thank you to you.

If I could help you, I would not hesitate but I do not understand it in prog.

[Deltac0]

I have wonderfully working Lion 10.7.3 on my AMD Phenom II 965 x4. 32-bit only though, but no need to worry about crashing or random kernel panics, everything works. Finder from DP2.

I would like to compile a kernel on this configuration, is it possible?
I know XCode is a 64-bit app and can't be run on my 32-bit Lion, but is there some other way to compile. Is XCode really required, or does the kernel compile with only the Command Line Tools from Apple? I compiled my own 10.7.3 kernel from my Snow Leopard, but as far as I know, Snow Leopard isn't suitable for compiling 10.8 kernel?

I would just like to test the new 10.8 kernel and try to patch it for AMD.

While compiling on the SL 10.6.8, XCode 4.2 (Command Line Tools newest version, hacked it to install on SL :D):

bash-3.2# make
MIG default_pager_object.h
MIG clock.h
MIG clock_priv.h

So the MIG has a problem with the source I think, compiling from Lion would maybe fix this?

[ham4ever]

can anyone plz tell me the stable kernel so far for Lion 10.7.2 32 bit ? without copy/delete/past problem and xpchelper crashes ?

[xmaniak100]

Ok guys. I am getting buldozer CPU is several days/weeks and i would like to ask... what exactly SSSE3/2/whatever :D does... And also... when i will have bulldozer and 64bit will work, everythings is gonna be as great as if i had intel??? And also, will the ALC892 driver tony has on his site work even though i have AMD what means different ids?

[The Connactic]

Yes, xmaniak! You'll have full 64-bit app support with a Buldozer CPU. Only the kernel will be 32-bit, therefore some hardware devices that relies only on 64-bit drivers (kexts) won't be usable. I don't remember any that falls in that category (and don't know nothing about Tony's ALC892).

[jhusly]

I have an fx-6100 and tried ALC892 audio kext but it wasnt working for me. I installed VoodooHDA 0.2.72 instead using multibeast 4.6.1 though there are still some noisy sounds while playing.

Let me thank you for the information ALC 892 chipset on Intel CM (win7), I try to understand why the CM AMD does not.

on my old Asus P8P67mpro ALC 892 audio working fine with patched AppleHDA.

I would just like to test the new 10.8 kernel and try to patch it for AMD.

Delta, i'm very interested in the possibility of patching the Mountain Lion kernel so it runs on AMD machines. I opened a thread in Insanelymac forum about it: you're invited to post there about your own experiences, as i'm doing. Hopefully, we and whoever join us will help to spark a renewed interest for AMD hackintoshing. I'm an AMD stubborn, as said before.

Here's the link: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=281450

Which method did you use to try to patch the kernel from Command Line Tools? Which patches do you want to apply? Do you have a .diff file of these patches? How to apply it to the source; is it enough to put the diff at the same folder of the kernel and just enter "make" from Terminal? I'm not sure if i understood all steps. I have Lion 10.7.4 (on my AMD computer and on a MacBook Pro) and Mountain Lion (on my netbook), so i could try to repeat your experience from a proper instance, if you give me instructions how to do it.

Maaaan I tried soo many Patched VooDooHDA and AppleHDA and none worked... i have a very new mobo M5A99X EVO which i guess has newest realtek 892 audio... If you find a way to extract a DSDT from bios so i could add my Audio to the patched one(my patched DSDT did not include HDEF Device...)...maybe it would work...hovewer i see no other way...

I just had a brain wave... is it possible to run Internal Creative Sound Blaster VX in Lion???
Should theese work? http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/

If not could you point me to any other(best would be with 5.1 support) driver??? i suppose VooDooHDA doesnt work with non integrated card since its PCI isn it?

I am trying to do the method iATKOS L2, ShowAllFiles with Hackintosh Snow Leopard on Amd. How do I ShowAllFiles? Can anyone with a half-decent camera do a video tutorial. Thanks...

[The Connactic]

If you're doing well with SL (system which most Apple customers consider the pinnacle of OSX), and need a system to do serious work with it for a living, why upgrade, since you'd be limited to a possibly unstable 32-bit system (the 32-bit part is not a possibility, but a certainty)? The question is specially valid if you have Xcode coding in mind, since it simply won't work on your system.

Otherwise, if you think about it as a kind of enjoyable science experiment, or if a 32-bit system suit well your demands and you're willing to investing a lot of time fine-tuning your machine, or both (my case), then you should keep on trying.

Snow Leopard is not compatible with GTX 570. Thank apple for never releasing drivers for this operating system, and for some reason no one is smart enough to make hacked drivers to make gtx 570/500 series work with snow leopard. I really don't get why the same drivers for the 400 series on apple do not work with the 500 series. It makes 0 sense to me. I know on windows, 8000 series, 200 series, 400 series, 500 series, all use the same drivers for Nvidia. The resolution is ugly on my 1920 x 1200 resolution when its force to 1024x resolution. Also, I keep getting a beachball loading on Snow Leopard and I have no idea why, it randomly does it at times.

Maan I just got the card today...however i found out my brother misbought Audigy SE instead of VX... i thing its not the same audio chip so kx wont work...anything else?

I would try it anyway but i want to be at least 70% sure before rewriting OS on my SSD... I think its gonna die soon

The thing is that on the kx web they have this (Audigy SE/LS which is not EMU10K(1 or 2) will not work!) however on wikipedia it writes that Audigy SE has EMU10K2 which is supported

Could i actually test whether audio will work on VM??

EDIT on other web I found that it is chip Audigy

Ham4ever, i would try the following: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113288

xmaniak100, you can try the kx drivers with your Audigy. The worst thing that can happen is that the drivers don't work. Is your SSD broken? Vmware and other virtualization software emulate their own card, so the answer is no, you can't.

[Godofwar]

I know where I mess up at, it has something to do with me only having two harddrives. I partitioned the mac harddrive to have snow leopard and lion on it but something gets messed up when I do everything else after that. Keep in mind i'm using easybcd for a boot menu for Windows 7 and Mac.

[Godofwar]

Well i was installing lion on same HDD but different partition and i had some problems with chameleons...i have no idea how i fixed it but i did :D. I think i deleted the SL partition but not sure

Its not broken yet hovever i cahnge my OS like 100 times a mounth and i am feeling that its dieing

Well I know but i dont have a disk to back up my system so i wanna be sure...could i test with kx drivers for windows??? are they the same?

The problem is that i dunno whether there is no post about that card because its impossible to make it work or because its so easy :D

[xmaniak100]

This is the problem I'm having. I know if I had 3 harddrives which I don't, I could easily just delete Snow Leopard.

So, I've installed it perfectly with mach kernel and Chameleon Wizard but the command -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 does not boot it for me. I need a different command.

Use recent version of Chameleon i.e. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231075

[xmaniak100]

So, I've installed it perfectly with mach kernel and Chameleon Wizard but the command -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 does not boot it for me. I need a different command.

Specs:

Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz
Gtx 570
Asus M4A79XTDO EVO Motherboard
4 gigs of ddr3 ram

As the guy sais... use chameleon 2.1 2.0 doesnt work with lion

[Godofwar]

I refuse to let this screw up again, I erased and started over again. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard. Now are there any Kexts from my Snow Leopard side that I am going to want to put in my Lion Harddrive and would I use a tool to do that a kext wizard tool or could I do it manually? Also, can I use Chameleon 2.0 RC5 r747 (pkg) on my Lion harddrive as a bootloader? Is that version new enough? Tell me anything else you may think I might be messing up? I'm on Osx86 dot net right now, which Chameleon bootloader do you suggest me to download from there? Thanks

Also, when I installed my Lion side to the partition harddrive last time the mach Kernel on it won't let me replace it with mach kernel v4, what I did last time was delete Mach Kernel on Lions harddrive than I stuck Mach Kernel v4 in it. Is that normal and the correct way to do that?

Thanks


I'm using Mach Kernel v4 for Amd Phenom II x4 965, is that the correct Kernel for my processor?
I feel I'm so close to getting this thing to work with the help of you guys, I think I'm on my way... Thanks!

[Godofwar]

So I rushed ahead and did the process again and just realized that something is wrong yet again. For whatever reason my bootloader stays the older version even after I delete the Snow Leopard partition. It makes 0 sense to me and I installed the newer Chameleon onto the Lion but no it wants to keep detecting the old Boot Loader. Any solutions for this dumb bootloader that doesn't want to update to the newer bootloader? So my problems are boot loader related because the freaking bootloader loves to stick with the 2009 version even tho I have a 2012 version of Chameleon that I installed on Lion, I erased the Snow Leopard Partition yet some how Chameleon 2009 version is still there.

[Godofwar]

My neighbor let me borrow his sata harddrive. Will this process be easier and work with 3 harddrives? 1 harddrive with Windows 7, the other with Snow Leopard and the other with Lion.

Something is not getting along with Snow Leopard now, it refuses to even install Snow Leopard now that I have 3 harddrives... Don't know why. I think my Windows 7 side is to blame. Im backing stuff up and going to run quick-erase in DBAN so all 3 harddrives get a fresh clean so I can start over again. Probably the millionth time I have had to reinstall Windows 7.

[Godofwar]

I don't know whats going on, because DBAN did not fix the problem. With 3 harddrives in my computer it is not allowing me to install Snow Leopard anymore. Instead I get a weird error now saying Cmos failed 3 times or something saying that. This is very strange... Now I have a bigger headache now.

So first of all You CAN NOT use any SL kexts on lion...it makes sense same as you cant use windows XP drivers on Windows 7... You must use chameleon 2.1 there is a link: http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2981&act=down&actionhash=guest&multiple=Mjk4MS1DaGFtZWxlb24tMi4xc3ZuLXIyMDYwLnBrZ y56aXA= And manually replacing kernel isnt bad :)

Yes you will have less problems with multiple hard drives since nothing will overwrite nothing... Is it refusing showing the HDD in disk utility? if yes...have you set it up for AHCI??? I had this problem since my bios has option for AHCI on port 1-4 and 5-6 and i changed only 1-4

It may happen if it was installed to the EFI partition which has priority over the normal one...try to delete or reformat it... you should be able to see it with command sudo diskutil list

Used Mod Cd boot disc like I normally do and I use Hazard 10.6.6i(something I know they don't like us talking about here) but its what I used to use to get Snow Leopard running because I could never get retail to work ever. Used to install fine before I had my neighbor put his harddrive in temporarily so I can do this little Hackintosh project. Maybe one of the plugged in cords is causing this weird CMOS failing 3 error? Should I try filming this all with my Vita camera(It's junky but all I have...)

Edit: I'm gonna make another video so people can see what I see. Also I used to use the -v -x -f cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386 on modcd plus hazards distro but that really isn't needed. I tried doing it and I still get the error so I know that command isn't needed.

New Video, new problem... I thought 3 harddrives would finally be my solution to getting Lion to finally work... Now I have a new problem, can't even install Snow Leopard anymore... Weird CMOS errors showing up now. There is no easy way to get Lion to work with my rig, unless I'm just a screw up.

Thanks, since 3 harddrives were causing that error in Snow Leopard I decided to do only two. But I have a trick up my sleeve. I did this so far. I installed Windows 7, easybcd, added snow leopard to the boot. Installed Snow Leopard on my 2nd harddrive. Now I'm in my Snow Leopard side currently, I erased my Windows 7 side(This is where I'm going to install Lion). And than after I install Lion I'm going to put Windows 7 disc install my computer and delete my Snow Leopard side, install Windows 7 again and add Lion to the boot side on Easy BCD. And everything should work out beautifully if that Chameleon boot loader you gave me for lion will work. :p

Is this crazy enough to work?

[Godofwar]

OMG, OMG, OMG I GOT IT WORKING! LION LOADS BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY INTERNET CONNECTION ETHERNET CONNECTION ISN'T DETECTED ARE THERE ANY kexts for it? Sorry for caps, I'm so excited!!! I can't believe that I got it working! I need Kexts for my internet and Voodoo Kexts to get my audio working. No which ones I'll need? I can't believe I got it working. Also, finder is not working so I need the correct finder.

[ham4ever]

any idea to get latest chameleon to install in USB using winows , ?? i can't acces any MAC partition

[Godofwar]

Yeah, I realized that Chameleon still refuses to install to my Lions harddrive. I only got Lion working because a black loader came up and I'm pretty sure thats not Chameleon. :'(

I still have the problem of my Finder being broken, Sound not working, and internet not working for Lion. They really don't make this all that easy for me.

[The Connactic]

Congratulations, Godofwar!

Which method did you use?

Finder won't work. Google Lion DP2 Finder (is a 32-bit version).

Google also kexts.com - there you will find any kext that you really need.

[Godofwar]

Typing from my playstation vita. Im still having problems to some degree. Will i have to use legacy command each time? Also what kexts do i need to get internet to work? I know theres a pkg file for voodoo sound to work. Is there a kext or pkg file to get internet? Plus, i willl need that dock pkg or kext.

[Godofwar]

I can not get windows 7 and lion to co-exist. I also still am missing sound and network from lion. I do not know how to install the dock.

[The Connactic]

Lion is stuck in 32-bit for now on AMD machines, except Bulldozers. As i told you :)

So, the Finder ain't gonna work, since it's 64-bit. As i told you.

Therefore, why don't you refer to the tutorial i linked to you, if that tutorial is precisely the reason i can run Lion on AMD, as i told you?

Here's the link again: http://www.google.com.br/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.insanelymac.com%2Fforum%2Find ex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D278181&ei=PO9bUPGXOYPW9QSaxIHQDQ&usg=AFQjCNH7WRK-G7vHluv5S0xb2nQGEmv81Q

[Godofwar]

Alright, I have Lion working with internet, sound and graphics card on 10.7.2. Everything seems to be working fine but how do I set up Lion so I don't have to type -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 each time I want to access the Lion operating system? Or am I screwed in that department?


Edit: I also believe my applications folder isn't working. I tried adding Google Chrome to it but it refuses to save to applications folder. This is ashamed since Safari is a bad browser compared to Chrome. Alright something funky is going on. I can't save stuff off cps onto the Mac hard drive... This is very strange... Can't save programs to the application folder and can't save files to hard drive. It won't even let me update to 10.7.3 because software update doesn't even work. (I think I solved this, I think I had to initialized my disc for whatever reason or whatever that means, Now I can saved files on hard-disk)

Also, sometimes the sound seems out of sync at times on some youtube videos. Is this going to have to happen or is there a solution for that? I'm using voodoohda-2.7.4, should I be using something else? Am I stuck with sound only coming out of my 2 front speaks instead of all 5 or 4 of my speakers?

[The Connactic]

Partly: there's a text file called org.chameleon.plist in the Extra folder. Edit it, so it has these lines:

Alright I know how to install Hackintosh Lion now, but this problem exists. I still can't get Windows 7 and Lion to exist with each other. It seems both of them only work when their installed on the first harddrive. This makes 0 sense to me. Neither want to be the 2nd harddrive. For some reason a old bootloader shows up for Chameleon when ever I set Hackintosh Lion up on the 2nd harddrive. A 2009 bootloader which does not work with Chamelon. But the recent bootloader works with Hackintosh Lion when Lion is on the first harddrive. I need to have Windows 7 on my computer aswell because I have a VHBL 1.80 version of Playstation vita, plus I do gaming with my gtx 570. So I can't choose one of the other and I really want Lion operating system because I'm geeky with this stuff and I enjoy having two different operating systems on my computer.

This is what I tried to do. I installed Windows 7 on my first harddrive, than I installed Snow Leopard on my second harddrive and while I was setting up Lion on Snow Leopard(2nd harddrive) I partition Snow Leopard to be only 70 gigs giving the other 400gigs to Lion. After I was done installing Lion(setting it up, Mach Kernel, 32 bit Finder, and recent Chameleon Boot Loader). I went back into my Windows 7 side and deleted Snow Leopards partition. But no, something acts up and for some reason Lion ignores that it has a new bootloader and is trying to use a 2009 version of Chameleon bootloader.


I'll be back later and hopefully someone knows what is going on, I'm going out for a jog because this pisses me off and makes me believe this two operating systems really hate each other and both want to be my first hard-drive(Which isn't possible plus I don't want them both to be my first hard-drive).

[The Connactic]

Snow Leopard was in the second partition of that HD? I hope so, then you can add that 70 gigs to Lion. Then:

1) Make sure in your BIOS to have SATA mode set up as AHCI (or RAID, if you don't have AHCI as an option);

2) Boot in Lion. Disconnect the Win7 HD;

3) Reinstall Chameleon. Use the latest revision.

4) Reconnect the Win7 HD;

5) Enjoy.

P.S.: I'm assuming that all your HDs are SATA. If one or both of them are PATA, forget it. :)

Damn, I just connected my Windows 7 hard drive back in and Chameleon loader is still the old version for Lion... Also, for some reason the free space 70gigs will not combine with Lion... I don't understand why the 2009 Chameleon won't go away, I've installed the latest Chameleon like a zillion times on the lions hard drive. It only detects the latest Chameleon when Windows isn't plugged in... How strange.

[The Connactic]

Because you installed Snow Leopard in the first partition. Now, that becomes dead space. In disk utility, once you set a partition scheme, only the first one is malleable. The second one cannot be resized, so you're out of luck. Maybe this is also the cause for the persistence of Snow Leo's old Chameleon. :)

By the way, when you installed Snow Leopard, you remembered to disconnect the Windows drive before doing it? Because maybe the old chameleon you see is the one that was installed in the Windows drive in the case you forgot to disconnect it, so you would be again out of luck. When installing OSX, and specially installing chameleon, always disconnect your Windows and other OSes disks.

Can't do that, if I do that Snow Leopard will not detect my mouse. For some reason Windows 7 and Snow Leopard are linked to each other even tho their on two seperate Harddrives. I've remembered in the past when I tried to install Snow Leopard and my usb Mouse was messed up and I had no internet. But when I had Windows 7 on the main harddrive(1st Harddrive) and Snow Leopard on the second it would pick up the usb mouse and internet connection. I am using Hazards distro keep that in mind, not sure if its much different than a real Snow Leopard OS.

[instant idiot]

I just tried installing the 10.7.5 update combo, and it corrupted the filesystem! (Fsck says "invalid node structure.") I'm going to try installing it again. If that fails, I'll know something strange is going on.

@The Connactic: Thanks for the tip, but I don't use iCloud, so that doesn't affect me.

[Godofwar]

Do I have to update or can I stick with 10.7.2 Lion? Because I tried updating to 10.7.3 earlier and it was a waste of time because it would not let me replace Finder. I still have that stupid bug where I can't add applications and sometimes I can't even replace stuff. I might be giving up on Hackintosh soon enough if I cant get Windows 7 and Lion together. I'm going to try your method of installing Snow Leopard on the 2nd partition and with Windows 7's harddrive unplugged. I just hope I don't run into that stupid error where my usb mouse isn't detected again. Not only does it not detect usb mice than, but even if I used my semi broken mouse that isn't USB cord, when I get to the main snow leopard screen it freezes and I can't type... It's weird, I don't know why it does that... But will see. Hackintosh is a pain in the ass and I'm not sure any operating system is worth all this trouble. Plus, when I was in Lion I thought Snow Leopards wallpaper and some of the icons on Snow Leopard actually looked better looking. The Applications folder on Lion is fugly, I liked the one on Snow Leopard. Mind you I'm sure there's a program out there to change the applications folder. I alson don't like that rocket launcher.

[The Connactic]

Godofwar, if you can stand the difficulties of running Lion on AMD, you should stay on Snow Leopard. It's not the latest and greatest, but it's far better than anything Windows can offer (well, i didn't use Win8 to know better) and run great on AMD!

Lion, as i told you, takes a lot of effort to run stable and will run only 32-bit (that means no original Finder, no Xcode, no 64-bit cool game etc etc etc)., unless you have a Bulldozer FX-Series CPU.

[Godofwar]

Hazard Snow and Windows 7 need each other... My cursor only works when Windows 7 harddrive is plugged in... This is weird?

Gtx 570 isn't supported on Snow Leopard. I don't know of any kexts that exist that can get gtx 570 to work so I can have 1920x1200 resolution for Snow Leopard.

[The Connactic]

Don't you have an onboard graphics in your MoBo, Godofwar? Since it's an AMD, the onboard graphics are usually ATI or AMD too...

[instant idiot]

Bad news: I tried installing 10.7.5 again: it corrupted the filesystem again! Now, I'm going to try first updating to 10.7.4 and then to 10.7.5.

[Godofwar]

Don't you have an onboard graphics in your MoBo, Godofwar? Since it's an AMD, the onboard graphics are usually ATI or AMD too...

My onboard sucks really bad it has vysnc problems in Windows 7, so I wouldn't expect it to be much better on Mac even if I could get it to work on Snow Leopard. I also tried your method of putting Lion as the first partition and Snow Leopard as the 2nd. I installed Lion again and than I put Hazards Snow in so I could delete and make Lion partition into entire Lion Harddrive(That part worked, Lion is the whole hard drive now). Now the part that didn't work is that its still Chameleon boot loader 2009 instead of the latest one... The Latest Chameleon Bootloader only works when I don't have Windows 7 Hard-drive connected.

Also, I found out the solution to why I wasn't able to save applications to my apps folder. It was that graphics card kexts I was installing! It was causing issues with my Hackintosh Lion. So, I'm forced to update to 10.7.3 now. I'm updating to 10.7.3 now. All I have to do is replace kernel and the dock after I install 10.7.3 right? 10.7.3 has official drivers that support Nvidia Gtx 570 if I remember correctly.

[Godofwar]

Thanks for all your help guys. But this has hurt my brain long enough. I'm giving up on this Hackintosh garbage. Macs an overrated operating system with less software support than Windows. The only reason I wanted it is because I like the look and feel to a mac. But no operating system is worth this much pain. Bye, thanks for you help.

[The Connactic]

You're welcome! :)

[Godofwar]

You're welcome! :)

Sorry I failed, I tried. I been trying to get Lion to work forever. I had fun with the 6 months I had Snow Leopard working(last yr before my 470 died). I know operating systems are beautiful from the eyes of the beholder but something just feels plain/boring about Windows 7 to me. Also, I think I preferred Snow Leopard over Lion, they did some little changes I didn't like. I tried Mac themes over Windows but that just doesn't work for me. If my 470 gtx hadn't died, I would still have snow leopard on my computer. Too many problems with Lion I have ran into for me to even try to keep this up. Can't even get the bootloader to work with it properly when paired with Windows 7. I couldn't find a graphics driver to work properly that wouldn't mess up me putting files on harddrives or saving application to the apps folder. And I noticed the sound problems, where things would go out of sync. Just too many issues for me to deal with and some of them seem kind of complicating to try to fix. Also, I was running sound from my motherboard when I have a nice sound card creative x-fi that isn't getting used. Also, it always bothered me with Hackintosh how I could never get 5.1 sound but just 2 speakers working.

[instant idiot]

Now I don't know what's going on: I tried to install the 10.7.4 combo update, and the same thing happened! (corrupted filesystem) Ideas, anyone?

[The Connactic]

The corrupted filesystem message happens when you boot your system, or during the installation of the combo?

[instant idiot]

It happens during boot. I also forgot to mention that the installer claims it failed: there's an I/O error with some temp file in /var/zz. (I think.) If it would be useful, I can reinstall (again) and post the exact error from the log.

Out of curiosity, what are you guys using to have Windows 7(Harddrive1) and Lion(Harddrive2) boot together? I use a program called EasyBcd. Just wondering if maybe that was my problem or not. EasyBcd is what I used with Snow Leopard when I had a 470 gtx.

[The Connactic]

I am! But i must confess, my windows 7 installation is on a PATA disk. I have one PATA for Win 7 and three SATA for respectively Lion 10.7, my time machine for both my AMD and my Atom netbook (which backs up to it via network) and a big NTFS 1.5TB for general storage.

I think that your problem is indeed related with Bcd, and the mess happened when you installed Snow Leopard: i think you forgot to disconnect your Windows disk when you first installed Snow Leo, and now the old bootloader survives in your Windows HD, and it doesn't matter how many times you reformat your OSX disk.

My best advice would be, if you have all your data securely backed up, to erase windows, reinstall it (remember to disconnect the OSX disk, if it still there) and then disconnect the Windows disk and install Lion with the latest chameleon. ;)

Instant Idiot, i never saw anything like you're experiencing. Sorry if i'm of little help now. :(

Yeah, but I told you earlier that I tried your method about disconnecting Windows 7 when Snow Leopard was installing and than my usb mouse refused to work. Oh well, I should quit looking into trying to get Lion to boot with Windows. I mean I had other problems such as audio being out of sync and Apps folder would mess up and not save apps. Is Lion osx suppose to be as buggy as it was for me or does it just really hate my Amd cpu? I would like to some how get hacked 500 series 570 drivers for snow leopard but none exist that I know of. That would probably make things much more simpler for me. :D

Oh well, I have a flawless Snow Leopard installation, so I'm not missing out big time. :) I think I'll try a different HDD and connect it via SATA instead of USB just to see if it makes a difference.

What is the need to update to Lion if you have a flawless Snow Leopard? You're not running into the problem like I am where your graphics card isn't supported are you? Or was there a certain software Lion had that you wanted.

[instant idiot]

None whatsoever. I don't even use OS X as my main OS. There's a new version, so I figure I might as well try to install it.

About the graphics card: I haven't even got it to work in Lion yet, while it works fine in Snow Leopard. (ATI Radeon HD 5670)

[Godofwar]

I'm having some luck now. I finally got Mac Lion and Windows to work each other. I even set it up how I like it where when I'm on my Mac side I can drop files on my Windows 7 side. It was really simple to fix, it seems EasyBCD and Windows7/Lion didn't like each other. So what I did was set Lion's hard drive to boot first. Now I can choose either to start Mac or press f8 to go in my Windows 7 side. Now my problem is that I have to find a adobe flash that works correctly with Mac. I'm on some chatrooms and it keeps saying that it needs to save storage but won't let me click yes on it when I want to. I had that same problem with Snow Leopard and I'm pretty sure I solved that by installing an older version of flash. Right now I haven't installed my graphics card drivers yet tho. If anyone has good drivers for 570 for Lion I'd appreciate them. I'm afraid to install the gtx 570 kexts I have right now because I know it will mess with the applications folder like it did last time. I'm also afraid of updating to 10.7.3 because last time that also messed up saving applications and files to my hard drive.



Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the fact that for whatever reason command -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 does not always work. Is that normal or is something up with my system for that to not always work? Maybe I need a different command? Sometimes I need to restart my computer up to 5 times just before the command actually works.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a solution for that flash problem I have. It sucks, a chatroom I frequently visit has a storage thing and when I click yes or okay on it it just won't let me. I can take a screenshot of it if you don't know what I mean.

[The Connactic]

It's probably because of your graphics. The flash issues, probably the same issue: flash movies needs QE/CI, which needs a properly working Graphics Card. So you have to chase those drivers: good luck! :)

One more thing about the commands: i think you need only -legacy npci=0x3000, since arch=i386 would be redundant (all patched kernels are 32-bit already) and -v would make you always boot verbose (with UNIX console output), instead of that clean and beautiful apple logo.

Is there a way I can put my harddrive on the desktop like in Snow Leopard or does that require updating or is this because I'm on AMD with Lion?

Also, where did you say I'm suppose to put -legacy npci=0x3000 so I don't have to always type it?

[The Connactic]

Finder preferences. And org.chameleon.plist in Extra folder for the boot flags (search my post, man, i won't type those key/strings again).

I strongly suggest you to use Path Finder instead of the 32-bit Finder. DP2 finder really sucks, and has some copy/paste/trash issues that are really annoying and tricky to solve. Path Finder works quite well and add some features, like the ability to cut files instead of just copy/paste, and some built-in features that substitute ones from Lion's core services that will like malfunction on -legacy mode. The downside is that you can use it free for only 30 days. :(

Idk if i just caught a virus or what, but I was downloading a crapload of Mac browsers and all of a sudden I do not get any video from youtube videos and game trailer videos. I have not installed Nvidia drivers yet, so I don't know if that will fix it. But I find it weird I get black vides on youtube now. A mac virus? :mad:



EDIT: I do not know what caused that to happen but now its solved. I updated my drivers now I'm Mac'ing it up at 1920x1200 resolution. Another problem is that as I said earlier, the key commands to boot Lion up don't always work and take me like 5 times to finally boot up. I tried your boot command but instantly got a kernel panic. This is some weird stuff, I wonder if there's a solution to it.

My trash can won't empty either, there's this file in there called fseventsd-uuid. It's always in there...

[The Connactic]

LOL!

Open Terminal.app. Type:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

Hit enter, than type:

killall Finder

You'll see that fseventsd-uuid vanishing like magic. :)

Nope, still there. Also, I never told Lion to show hidden files. So I don't know why I would have to tell them to hide them now... Your -legacy npci=0x3000 boot command worked but problem is that I still crash every so often before booting up Lion. No matter if I type -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 or -legacy npci=0x3000

I am using the correct kernel right? I am using mach kervnel brono something v4 I believe for my Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz.


Also, fixed the sound problem. I just had to not use my motherboards sound. I used my soundcards sound. It turns out Voodoo was compatible with my sound card but its still only using 2 speakers instead of 5.

One thing is messed up tho, I get no sound Mac sound effects... Is that normal? On Snow Leopard on Zipeg I would here it make some cool music when I extracted something.

IATKO's L2, and my mac side failed again. This is weird, I went on my windows 7 side and ran utorrent to finish up a download on it, I also ran Jdownloader to copy links from it so I could download from my mac side. So I saved those links as a .txt on my windows side. I than shut off my computer and booted up and these commands no longer work -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 and or -legacy npci=0x3000

Weird, I tried like 30 times shutting off my computer on and off with the -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 command and or -legacy npci=0x3000 but Mac side refuses to boot... :'(

I am using Bro march kernel v4 or whatever its called. Is that the correct kerenel for Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz?

euh ??? iATKOS L2 does not work in installation live on AMD ! it only works for intel!
he settled in SL 10.6 UTILIZING his OSInstallmpk and provide for the replacement of the kernel.

pour les Atlon/Phenom : x4 965 -legacy busratio=17 UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1 ou 0 et GraphicsEnabler=Yes ou No suivant les cartes graphiques .

I thought I was suppose to use IATKO'S L2 and patch it with the Mach Kernel v4 made by brokvenski or whatever his name is. Are you recommending a different Lion disc or distro? :eek: Official Lion disc or don't use that?

[The Connactic]

Godofwar, retail is always better. :)

I think you should update your system to 10.7.4 and replace your kernel for RAWX86's.

Will I run into problems with retail? I have no idea how to install retail, is it the same process? If its same process than I guess I will try retail.

[The Connactic]

Refer to MyHack (google it!) which has a comprehensive guide. Take in notice that even with retail you'll have issues because of your AMD CPU: it will only work in legacy mode (32-bit), the stock finder won't work etc. If you had a Bulldozer, you could run it flawlessly with full 64-bit app support.

Some people are just lucky, their old MoBos can settle with an upgrade to Bulldozer. Mine, despite being AM3, would not accept it. It's a sin. So i'm at the same boat as you, running Lion 10.7.4 on an outdated Athlon II X2 250 CPU. Anyway, even a 32-bit OSX grants me more computational joy than Win 7 ever gave me. :)

Hey man, it worked. But I have another problem now, my graphics card isn't being recognized now so the resolution is bad.

I did you command -legacy busratio=17 UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

How do I get my Nvidia card working? Do I need to update to 10.7.3? Your command worked perfectly! I am finally able to get back on my Mac side by I am not at 1920x1200 resolution. :-/

Thanks, but since I'm using ITAKO L2, can I just update to 10.7.3 and replace the kernel and dock. I have pathfinder so I should be able to do that right? Is that all I have to do or could my command change on what I have to type to get back on Mac?


Gils, you're a freaking genius. I fixed resolution problem I set PCIRootUID=1 to PCIRootUID=0!!! Thanks!

Okay, now where exactly do I type this boot command in so I don't have to type a long boot command each time I want to run Mac?

My Text edit is broken, it won't work for whatever reason. A beachball loads constantly and it never loads up the text. I'm using a Mac text program called JE edit? Is that fine? Where exactly do I type -legacy busratio=17 UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes at? Does it go in one of those lines? Thanks! I didn't understand where you said I was suppose to post them last time. Also, when text editor was working it wouldn't let me overwrite the file before. I don't know why, and I have no idea why texteditor is not working anymore. Tho, JE text editor should work just as good no? :p


Thanks for all your help, I know I can be a pain in the butt but I think that command that other guy gils gave me might be the exact command I need. Tho, will that command work if I update to 10.7.3? And I asked earlier is that if I did update to 10.7.3 would all I have to do is replace the kernel and dock again or would I have to do something so much more? Also, is there a point to update to 10.7.3? Is it more stable or just safer to be on a higher number?
