Lion with AMD

[corrado891]

Has anyone had any luck with installing Lion dev preview on an AMD system? If so, any tricks/advice you can pass along?

Thanks!

[xXrkidXx]

Well my first guess is you would need kexts for all your hardware(At the very least the basic stuff to run it) and a patched kernel because AMD can't run vanilla.

[scififan68]

Not until the sources for the kernel comes out, which will be after Lion is officially released.

[LinearBurn]

well realy strange thing happend on the amd hackintosh i installed 10.7 for giggles it crashed ov cource but the weird thing is it correctly indentified my amd quad by model and name ... it locked up on probing pci bus

[wastez]

Can you tell me how you want to run 10.7 with a amd?
Because there is no kernel which allow to run a amd with lion!!!

[akimoa]

he doesnt have any different way then intel users i suppose.... he just tryed and failed

but why not try with andys atom kernel for DP2 but i wont spend the time on it unless the sources are in qualified hands !

[LinearBurn]

try booting lion with the 10.6.8 kernel it should work i used stock vanilla 10.6.8 kernel for a while before i fixed my install on my in tell pc

[akimoa]

Dogs Bollox ....just checked it again u wont boot Lion with legacy kernel from 10.6.8 as simple it is !

[Seby]

Sources are out http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-107/

Waiting for patched kernel.. hoping this will released soon

Yep, can't wait to get a new legacy kernel for 10.7.4.. not sure what the process for upgrading will be from 10.6.8. I'd rather not have to do a full fresh install. I hope nawcom needing to step away for a while doesn't delay getting a legacy kernel. Best of wishes to him though.

[Seby]

Anyone is working on it?

[maya77]

History repeats...

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

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

And AnV???

[wastez]

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

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

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

[Unrealized]

Any news yet? I bought Lion already. :)

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

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

[Hadriel]

so with a patched kernel, would it be possible to run lion on my PC?
I really want to get a Tri-boot going.

That's the problem.. we need patched kernel first

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

[Lordadmiral Drake]

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

[Unrealized]

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

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

[scififan68]

I have a computer with Lion on it, though I doubt the patches would just work without changing anything.

[shaetech]

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

Much work involved in compiling the kernel? I have a MBP running Lion... also have a PC (amd proc) that I want to get Lion onto...

[Lordadmiral Drake]

I have a hackintosh running Lion on an i5-2500K + 8GB memory. I just gotta get latest xcode, then I could compile.

[Unrealized]

They have no use, unless you know C++ :-/

[Lordadmiral Drake]

I meant that, someone, who has the skills should implement the changes in the code, then send me the files to compile if he cant do that himself

[naidb]

I want a lion like a lion, but the new kernel is released again. I was waiting.

Allready on it... I'm currently adapting the source patches of my latest kernel for Lion.
Work is progressing well... ;)
Keep you guys posted when the final build is made... :D
NOTE: Lion will require a 64bit CPU...

[andyvand]

Thanks! :D Good luck
Thanks, I finished making the patches yesterday.
Now some minor changes to the build scripts and I can upload the sources + built product (NOTE: I'm using Xcode 3.2.6 atm for building them, wastez will afterwards recompile the sources with Xcode 4.1 for final build)

[$The-King$]

is the new kernel will fix kernel panic that occur when set sata on raid mode ? :)

Great news, can't wait for it. Now I got to get my Laptop to boot my Lion install USB-Stick

[m4f1050]

Desperate on this as well. I upgraded to a GeForce GTS 450 from on-board GeForce 8200 (no QE/CI) had to use Opera for Youtube LOL

Problem in 10.6.8 is my system freezes! I am actually running a QuickTime video on the background just to get a few hours of use. Before I could only use the system a few minutes.

Next thing im going to try (since I don't use it) is disable the HDMI on the board.

im asuming u on 10.6.8 AMD with nawcoms latest kernel ...if thats the case go back a few kernels like to 10.6.6 or 10.6.5 to avoid the freezes and when u do that be shure also go back in ACPI Kexts otherwise older kernel won't boot ..the freezes occure since the kernel changed a bit from older version wich he wasn't able to solve yet

[todesto]

Just when I though I was out.....They pull me right BACK in! (quote from Godfather III ;))

I was gonna stay with 10.6.7 with my AMD system, but now I see the light!

Thanks Andy!

[mayx]

Thank you, Andy, you save my amd machine. :'(

Hope you success! ;)

I solved the freezing issue by running a script that opens a blank mp4 and sets the window size to 0,0,0,0 before I was hiding it but it was putting the GTS 450 to sleep and it would freeze. Ive had 3 days running without a freeze now. BUT I would like Lion 10.7 if possible. I have AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ CPU. And I am using Legacy Kernel 10.8 (by ????) <-- how do I find out?

Hi Andy, been a while since you posted the above. Any update for us? Thanks again for the work on this. You've got more than a few of us w/ AMDs itching to move to lion :)

I'm starting to hear more firm release dates on bulldozer too. Fingers crossed that it won't be too tough to get it working in osx.

[maya77]

nawcom may do it again!

... Oh I also thought about AMD stuff. I haven’t really played with AMD lately. I guess I should, since not anyone really has gotten it working. I did see AnV make a lion legacy kernel, but since tested, it has failed every AMD user. So we still have some things to get finished I suppose.

[nightf4ll]

nawcom may do it again!

Long life AMD god Nawcom! ;) Now I have some hope of running Lion on my hackintosh.. :D

[friken]

nawcom may do it again!

Sweet! Would love a lion AMD kern.

My big worry is that bulldozer comes out and is as good as I hope and we have to wait a year or three to get a patched kern for it :/

Hmm, why dont u switch to Intel instead buying those new AMD processors? When they come out, Intel will have to reduce prices and the only extra cost for you will be new MB.

Not sure intel will drop prices. Right now it's ~3-4x cost difference to go intel between pricey mobos and way overpriced cpus. My 3 year old $100 (cheaper now) phenom2x2 unlocked 4 core and OC'd to 3.8Ghz has been a great thing for price/performance. My mobo was $39. Soooo short answer, I'm a cheap bastard ;)

Thumbs up, cheap bastard!

Yeah I know what you mean. Until now I've only had AMD based PC's, because I feel stupid paying extra money for the same thing :P
But, right now I got sick of Microsoft and Windows (Linux is not an alternative), so I'll probably have to buy Intel CPU to have full compability with MacOS..

[m4f1050]

My only reason now to switching to Lion is Xcode 4.1.1 I can't download an older one, not available, does anybody know where to get it?

I am currently running 10.6.8 with a looped .mp4 (not bad, got used to it and just because im running GTS 450... the 460 is same deal)

Would love to have Lion, even bought an upgrade voucher but it won't let me register it, it has to be done through Apple App Store..!

Thanks but I can login, it just doesn't let me register the voucher. And when I try to buy it it says it needs an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5 or i7 processor. I have my Hackintosh setup as an iMac11,1 ( 3Ghz core 2 duo) in About This Mac but somehow it knows it's not...

EDIT: I decided to give it a try anyways and it worked, it let me register the voucher, but it didn't download. It sat there forever but when I go to PURCHASES it shows OS X Lion as purchased! :) All I need is a kernel! LOL

And giving a link to download Xcode, i don't know why...

[m4f1050]

The link was for me, I was saying that the main reason I wanted to upgrade was because I couldn't find Xcode 4 (im using 10.6.8) so he was being nice and giving me a link where to get Xcode from. (Thank you)

But...it's torrent links. Every time I tried to download Xcode (torrent) the dmg would not mount... My friend actually got me a DVD with Xcode 4 :)

Since I registered OS X Lion already I now would like to run it! LOL

Yep, it has something to do with the network adapter.. Now we can use the App Store to download totally useless apps and delete them -.- OK, some of them are good :P

Well, maybe nawcom will make it one day.. or maybe Andy will fix the kernel which he uploaded..
Anyways, I'm happy with 10.6.8.. and I dont see whats so great about Lion.. except that it has Safari with fullscreen and some other "cool" features whcih no1 really uses :D

Do you mean apps downloaded from AppStore won't work on amd machine?

[todesto]

Where did you get that idea? It works. I use AMD and have bunch of apps from AppStore running. :)

[m4f1050]

To be honest, I've always been an Intel fan, this was the first AMD processor I bought, and because of the price. i series processors are overpriced IMHO. But I broke down and bought an i3 540 for $105 and a $30 mobo (eVGA P55V) on NewEgg... Couldn't stand the "wont work on AMD" crap anymore. Even though the only thing that wont work that I really use is OS X (LOL)

[nightf4ll]

Do you mean apps downloaded from AppStore won't work on amd machine?

No, they work of course.. I just tried to say that I didn't use them, because many of those apps promise more than they deliver :P

haha, congrats.. I would do the same if i had the money. Another problem is that all my RAM is DDR2 and I would have to buy new DDR3 RAM too -.-

akimoa how are you using 8gb? are you running in 64 bit on the AMD? mine doesn't seem to work. using legacy kernel v8

Wastez, AnV said that you will recompile the sources for the AMD kernel for LION...can you tell us if you're still on it?? Thanks.

[wastez]

I allready compiled it but it´s not working in the moment.
The problem is that the source have changed really much since snow leopard and AnV has to find out the problem.

[hans88]

Thanks for reply wastez...was just wondering if was worth to reinstall SL or to wait for the LION kernel. Looks like the apple team wanted to make something to f*** us up and hard to get it done...keep it up guys, I know its just a question of time for you...;)

[zo26]

So i've had my computer since December 2006 and i just found out it was 64-bit compatible, it came with windows XP. But i wanna know if my computer would be able to run OS X Lion whenever the kernel is patched. Running Win 7 now and wanna dual boot so if anyone can take a look at the txt file or i could post images from CPU-Z.

[pippox0]

Ok u have an AMD Athlon X2 cpu, so u have to wait until amd kernel patch for Osx Lion will be released.
When it will be, u could do the magic .... Osx lion beside Win7.
If u don't want wait ... Install Snow Leopard + amd kernel patched for 10.6.8.

Have fun ...

And Lion kernel is pure 64bit, right?

[davisin666]

And Lion kernel is pure 64bit, right?

Nope, the kernel has both i386 and x86_64 parts, but you can't run it without -force64 (If you are booting with arch=i386) because application binaries are only x86_64 :-|

The same can not be said for AMD.

Would bulldozer work with a similar patch? seeing as it has all the same instruction sets implemented as the intel chips.

good evening everyone.

I am a newcomer on your site that is not without interest.
I have a platform (Asus M5A97pro x4/6 960T) that works in very
well in SL 10.6.8 and would like to see it run on Lion 10.7.

I have another question, I saw FX 4100 and FX 8150 Operating
OS X 10.6 !?

http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/535633

Would you have an idea of ​​the method with my FX 4100, I tried all
kind of flag to no avail. (busratio=18 -v -x arch=i386 -force64 debuge=0x100 .......)

Thank you. :)

[no1youknowz]

I've got 10.6.7 rocking in a VM and I thought I'd just bump the thread for ol' lion.

So any progress to report getting it onto AMD?

It would be really interesting if andy´s lion kernel will work with bulldozer or bobcat.
If it´s working we can say for sure that the older AMD´s will never work cause missing SSSE3 instructions.....

So have anybody tried it with them????

@AnV
Is there a way to write a SSSE3 Emulator?

[Unrealized]

There are ways to emulate cpu extensions, so yes, it could be possible.

Personally I'm a bit puzzled about the fact I cant run osx86 at the moment because snow leo doesnt support the gtx 550 ti. :(

[no1youknowz]

Is there any more news on this?

Seems things have gone silent on this issue now. :'(

[alaskan]

I am interested also.

[scififan68]

Its just easier to upgrade to Intel, like I have recently and I just love it! Of course my AMD wasn't working correctly for me, so I upgraded. Also Snow Leopard is fine to run at this time, Lion is just like SL with some ios features, but I had to upgrade because Lion supports my new hardware much better than Snow Leopard.

[Godofwar]

Snow Leopards fine for time being. I'll stick with Amd because they're cheaper and just as good.

[todesto]

Agreed. Spending extra $$ just to get Lion or MLion doesn't make sense......

I have a feeling kernel for AMD for Lion might come out....

Step 2:

Then to upgrade iOS 5.1 download this and install image but DO NOT install it:

Snow Leopards fine for time being. I'll stick with Amd because they're cheaper and just as good.

Agreed. Spending extra $$ just to get Lion or MLion doesn't make sense......

I have a feeling kernel for AMD for Lion might come out....

The problem for some people is that they have newer graphics card than the ones Snow Leopard supports. Which sucks for me. ;)

Should have went for an older graphics card, hell my old computer that I gave to my brother which is like an Amd athlon x2 3.0ghz with a 8800gts 320mb card with 2 gigs of ram is still maxing out games on his resolution like 1600x something(I'm not including physx tho, his graphics card can't handle physx for the most part especially in Batman Arkham Asylum and Mafia II) I forget but its a littler less then 1080 and above 720 on his monitor. And athlon x2 and gts 320mb card are old aren't they? My current rig which I'm running Windows 7 and Snow Leopard on is Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz with a gtx 470 1280mb card.

Well I was running a HD5570 and it died, so :) I went and replaced it with a GTX 550 Ti. If I would had got my hands on a 9500GT I would have been happy enough.

Next up is a Intel CPU as I'm getting gray hair with Windows, lol :-/

[todesto]

Still no progress on AMD kernel for Lion...... anxiously waiting.

[Godofwar]

Still no progress on AMD kernel for Lion...... anxiously waiting.

Yeah, I come to the conclusion that we are gonna need amd kernel for lion or mountain lion sooner or later just for the fact that snow leopard will be dated soon enough. We all know Apple are douche-bags and will force an update on Apple users if they want to use newer software like they usually do with their con-artist ways. Tho, I don't really even use many Apple software to begin with. I usually use my mac side just to browse the internet because on my windows side my browser always sticks and freezes that is the real reason I use hackintosh snow leopard to begin with.

[Ninja_Harbinger]

I really hope the devs crack this one because I have a Radeon 6970 which is only supported with Lion.

This screenshot looks pretty authentic - not look like trolling. :cool:

Hey dude!

Great work. :)

Bad thing is that a lot of apps on Lion are no more 32-Bit supported, including Finder - like it can be seen on your screenshot.

If some function could be added, that does like -force64 in prior Legacy/Voodoo Kernel, you would have made it.

Otherwise:
There is the possibility to use 32-Bit Finder from Dev-Build 11A380 on GM / 11A511
This way I have working 10.7.0 on non-64-Bit CPU Atom N270 - any later Build does no longer work with this method. :-|
If we could get a fully working 32-Bit Lion on AMD via this way, this would not be as great, but still pretty cool...


Anyhow: We are looking forward to you keeping us posted!! ;)

[bronzovka]

Otherwise:

What if you patch the dyld and the libsystem.b???

[R:A:W:X86]

What if you patch the dyld and the libsystem.b???
Patching these on Snow Leopard is for 32-Bit Apps not to crash, when 64-Bit is enabled.

Problem is that his Kernel has not enabled 64-Bit mode at all (it is booting pure 32-Bit legacy mode)
In Lion there is no more 32-Bit code in a lot of Apps like Finder, Launchpad etc

Absolutely no way to make them work unless 64-Bit support is enabled, like when you were using -force64 flag at Snow Leopard Kernel Patch.

says NAWCOM>http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=929
"I’ve actually gotten the kernel sorta-working on my AMD machine myself. The issue is that it would stall after detecting the root device, and I think it has to do with all this new pal reference stuff (platform abstraction layer) that is in the RTC code. It would stall while trying to launch the first userspace thread, at least that’s what I was able to figure out by booting it in VMware and doing a remote debug on it. This was done a while ago.
If the person can share info on how he got it working (especially the pal rtc stuff) then I could help out.
The reason I haven’t been working on it is my AMD machine is out of service, though I can get my hands on another one.
My brilliant bud meklort wants to move all the CPU detection part of the kernel to chameleon, which makes things much easier.
That’s where I am now with it."

Well... how about creating a Lion setup partition & trying to boot it?! :p

At least I did so - or let's say I tried to do so...

I am currently stopped by a Kernel Panic:

http://h11.abload.de/img/sam_1273w9k9a.jpg

In case of not using "-legacy" flag, I am getting as far as in case of panic, just that the panic isn't displayed (freeze after boot disk initialisation - the same problem like nawcom experienced with kernel made by himself)

I had to use IOPCIFamily.kext from 10.6.7 in order to get past "PCI Configuration beginn"

...

I will gonna try a different hardware setup later, but need to get some sleep first... :D

Your kernel can really work with the LION 10.7.2 on my AMD Phenom II X4 965
(32 bits mode of course)

http://s16.postimage.org/bg9mq8p1h/amd_2.gif





The 64-bits finder can't be opened
---> maybe someday the kernel can be patched so it can run with -force64 flag

http://s14.postimage.org/kw6yjo2pd/amd_4.gif






The 32-bits SAFARI can run flawlessly

Thanks for your hard work, it really great that somebody got it working.

It would be absolutely great if the 64 bit Userland could be implemented.

[R:A:W:X86]

OK. I can now confirm it working, too. :)
Previous Kernel Panic must have been some mistake when creating install media, so to simplify things, I used iAtkos L1 10.7.1 with just Basic System install this time...

http://www.abload.de/thumb/screenshot2012-03-30aqyjmy.png (http://h11.abload.de/img/screenshot2012-03-30aqyjmy.png)

When not using -legacy flag, I still encounter the same problem, that has been described by nawcom on his blog for his Kernel attempts...

It freezes after drive initalisation...

We need to find some way to make it boot past this.

nawcom says something about changes in RTC driver, so maybe we can try to figure out some old kext versions or something, that may gonna make it work...

Hi,

Like bronzovka says, the 11.3.0 Kernel doesn't seem to work with the 10.7.0 OS X that is used for Lion installation.

As I already wrote in the post you replied to, I used iAtkos L1 Distribution.
I have installed it from my Snow Leopard installation to a secondary harddisk (OSInstall.mpkg works in case of that distro), with just basic system only & installed latest meklort Chameleon + fakesmc

On 10.7.1 and above the 11.3.0 Kernel seems to work. :)

@ $The-King$, have you tried using MacPro3,1? 5,1 has all kinds of power management features that may conflict. I also used mulit-beast for the bootloader and all the kexts. I updated even to 10.7.3 before even booting the system and it just booted up right way the first time.

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

Does your mobo have AHCI support ?

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

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

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

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

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

mac refuses to update to 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 dmg
:P
i did new install after updating gfx card and bios of MB
and since this cant update to 10.6.7 to install 10.7

i think may it is from bootloader latest ver !!

any way i will stop tries till bronzovka (http://osx86.co/member.php?u=90041876)
make the kernel works with install DVD hope he do it soon OR i will make more tries when i get free time

bronzovka (http://osx86.co/member.php?u=90041876) hope you share kernel src with other developer so we can get the best kernel ;)

Hopefully Hazard makes a distro for Lion with Amd support. I'm kind of dumb and the only version of Mac I've gotten to work is Hazard Snow Leopard's version. Would be nice for me to update to Mac Lion because you know sooner or later Apple will stop giving software support for those of us on Snow Leopard.

Could someone create a boot cd? :) I don't have a working OSx86 system at the moment, so it would be really helpful.

About kernel sources, I think he has to release them because of the license if someone asks for them. And sharing is caring ;)

[PookyMacMan]

I am working on expanding the ModCD project to support all releases of OS X...I was actually waiting for other Lion kernels so that I can create a fully-compatible CD. :D

You are correct about the license. This is why people have problems with tonymac...he hasn't released any source code, violating the APSL license. Not saying that bronzovka is in the same class with tonymac, just giving an example of the licensing. ;)

I for one would like the source...I might be able to adapt the patch for older Intels as well. Nawcom previously stated that when experimenting with his AMD machine, it would stop after Got Boot Device. If I/nawcom can look at the source I/he/we might be able to apply this to more processors, and thus create a full legacy kernel supporting old Intels and AMDs alike. :)

i have AMD 1090T and i wanted to test if lion 10.7 is working on my PC.
i have GTX 560Ti.I guess lion supports that.

but i have no clue from where to get the image and how to get bronzovka kernel to work.

[justinster123]

I awesome! Kernel 10.7.0 same panic from DVD :eek: .
Maybe it is problem it 32 bit ... need 64 bit ...

Thanks :)

Will it work with my CPU?
I am amd athlon X2 7550
Here is results from terminal

Justin$ sysctl -a |grep machdep.cpu.family
machdep.cpu.family: 16

Justin$ sysctl -a |grep machdep.cpu.model
machdep.cpu.model: 2
Justin$

[vudothienan]

Yes ,i add model 2-> mach_kernel_v1 (http://www.mediafire.com/?i3anfjw0jxfsr9p)

vudothienan, yes you can install LION on your amd !Whar kernel should I use ?

[PookyMacMan]

Find out whether your AMD is a model 6, model 5, or model 2 and download the appropriate kernel.

Hello,
I am new to the forums, and made this account just for this thread. First, I would like to say thank you to the community for all your hard work porting 10.7 Lion to AMD processors. However, I have a similar problem to a few others and have not yet resolved it. I have an AMD Athlon II X4 635 Quad-Core Processor. http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/7232/processor.png (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/processor.png/)

I downloaded this kernel for Model 5 Processors from a few pages back: http://www.mediafire.com/?oid59g1gl3oq34p

And i am using iAtkos L2 on a USB Flash Drive.

When i boot up with -v, i freeze here:

When i boot up with -legacy -v, i get a Kernel Panic:

Any help would be MUCH appreciated

Thanks,

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

Again, another reason to release source code...

[shawnanastasio]

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

[PookyMacMan]

Yes you can. :)

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

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

[gedna]

cant get to work on phenom 9600, yesterday somehow your V1 was booting but stops at waiting for DSMOS, now i have fresh install and your kernel give me insta reboot, its crazy:) can some one tell me step by step, because i know it has to work on 9600

My GTX 560 Ti works with these: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-270.00.00f01-driver.html just needs graphicsenabler=yes (GTX 470 should work as well)

ANYone? :)

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

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

Use retail, distros are recipes for trouble.
