AMD Problem

[shakthi124]

I'm trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong here.
I used the modcd 0.3 to get 10.6.3 disk to boot and everythings fine but around the 17-18 minute mark i get this.

What am i doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

AMD Athlon x2 +6000
4GB ddr2 Ram
40GB IDE drive (Install)
M2a-vm HDMI sb600
ATI HD 4550

[akimoa]

1. Load Optimized Defaults (Reboot)
2. Bios enable Sata Mode AHCI
3. AMD C1E (Disabled)
4. ACPI Suspend Mode -> S3
5. AMD Cool&Quite Disabled


But i hardly doubt u will get success out of your Graphicscard !!! if u even get in to the system with it


And Try again !

okay, ill try that but what does that kernel panic mean anyways?
thanks :)

That did not work. :(
but i have a hunch. It kps around the time when all the installation files are copied to the HD and it starts extracting. Maybe there is something off about the driver. another thing, the atiati kext only detects my SATA dvd drive and the ATA hd is detected by something called AppleServerWorksATA maybe its the driver.

HD4550 works absolutely fine by adding 0x95401002 to ATI4600Controller.kext on 10.6.8 & 10.7 :)

if u even get in to the system with it
Missing Framebuffer will cause X2000 kext to panic on first boot - move it to some other folder from Single User mode or via Terminal from the installation system.

But this is not the problem here.

shakthi124, try some different Boot CD - I always had problems with the installation system running the latest legacy kernel builds, while using the old quoopz patch works best for installation.
My fav is still some pretty old Release of prasys's EmpireEFI: http://www.mediafire.com/?m5wzzwyfg4m - give it a try. :)

really? can you teach me how exactly to do that? xD i have no idea sorry for sounding like a n00b

as for the booting i got it to work by making my own bootcd and adding disabler.kext all thats missing is the graphics.. :)

Even I am facing a problem during the main installation process.After the main installation process starts,the screen looks like this

And suddenly after this it throws me this kernel panic error

http://anonymusvins.opendrive.com/files/42980332_kfRBF/DSC01462.JPG

Please help me out as I guess i'm in the last stages of the installation.I selected no additional kernels except the default main 6 gb one.
My specs are as follows:
Amd phenom x3 8650 2.3ghz
Asus M2n68 amplus
transcend 2gb ddr2 800 mhz
dynet 2gb ddr2 800 mhz
seagate 1tb sata internal
seagate 500 gb sata internal
450w odyssey smps
Windows 7 Ultimate

Well after Install of OSx86 you should upgrade to 10.6.8 first, then you need to make your system bootable without the EmpireEFI CD, Upgrade your version of the Chameleon bootloader to an up-to-date build, and be sure to have GraphicsEnabler=Yes in your com.apple.Boot.plist

In case ATIRadeonX2000.kext causes a Kernel Panic add -s bootflag and move that Kernel Extension to some different folder - be sure to place it back later in order to have proper working gfx acceraltion.

Your graphic cards device ID needs to be added into Info.plist of ATI4600Controller.kext - this will make the framebuffer driver work (resolution change), what will prevent X2000 kext from causing a panic.

Maybe read through some of the Radeon HD topics like thise one: http://osx86.co/f36/support-for-some-hd5000-series-gfx-cards-emerged-t6326/
(I know it is not about your device, but it will help you getting an idea, how to handle this stuff...)

In case of using a SATA DVD drive, get an IDE one instead & be sure to have a proper Master / Slave configuration, no Cable Select - should fix your chipset driver problem.

so i did as you said and the following things happened.

1) on the bootloader it says "Graphics Card not supported!"

2) no resolution change and this is whats shown on system profiler.

PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 3 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x954f
Revision ID: 0x0000
Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded
Displays:

did i do something wrong? thanks
also i would like to note that i have 512mb of vram :S

Your bootloader doesn't support the injection of your graphics card.
Use a compatible build like Kabyl's http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231768 ROM file in /Extra is required.

Or you can set GraphcisEnable=No and try ATY_Init.kext by netkas as inject.
Most likely it's bin image code will work.
