Lion with AMD

Guys, do you think my pc will run Lion?

Amd Turion 64x2
Nvidia 8400m gs 256mb

@andyvandThanks, 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)

Good luck!

I hope you successful

timescale

Any idea on the timescale of the released kernel?

just keep to give Lion a try.

@eXcalibreAny idea on the timescale of the released kernel? just keep to give Lion a try.

Me when a fix a bug i have two other bugs if he have the same problem we can wait

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

can't wait

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!

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.

nawcom may do it again!

@nawcom... 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.

@maya77nawcom may do it again!

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

@maya77nawcom 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

@frikenSweet! 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.

@nightf4llHmm, 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

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
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..

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..!

If you cant login into App Store, try adding this to com.apple.boot.plist, or org.chameleon.boot.plist.. whatever u use

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

He's giving a link to d/l xcode…

For a brief moment, I though some genius from China made a Kernel for AMD to install Lion…Got excited for nothing. :

@nightf4llIf you cant login into App Store, try adding this to com.apple.boot.plist, or org.chameleon.boot.plist.. whatever u use EthernetBuiltIn Yes

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

@todestoHe's giving a link to d/l xcode… For a brief moment, I though some genius from China made a Kernel for AMD to install Lion…Got excited for nothing. :

He say he expecting the lion can run on his AMD machine...
And giving a link to download Xcode, i don't know why...

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

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

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

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

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

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)

@SebyDo 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

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 -.-

CompUSA / Tiger Direct has 16gig for $90
I split it with a buddy of mine, I got 8gb and he got 8gb each paid $40some..

Nawcom releases an Atom Lion Kernel

Nawcom releases an Atom Lion Kernel and is working on AMD legacy kernel right now ...
blog.naw com.com/

Great Job

Awesome news!

I actually have an ATOM processor on my CarPC, maybe I'll run OS X Lion on it! LOL

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

Patch your AMD Binaries and add -force64 to your kernelflags inside your boot plist :-d

@akimoaPatch your AMD Binaries and add -force64 to your kernelflags inside your boot plist :-d

Ok, I know the -force64 part, but "Patch AMD Binaries" I don't know how to do...got a link?

here is the link: osx 86.co/f57/amd-and-legacy-t7263/

But i also used the search to find it.
Just entered this keywords: amd patch

Recompile sources for 10.7

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.

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.

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...;)

@wastezhere is the link: osx 86.co/f57/amd-and-legacy-t7263/ But i also used the search to find it. Just entered this keywords: amd patch

Awesome! You guys rock! Thanks!

I can now enjoy my 8GBs! Still haven't tried it cuz I'm @ work but I can't wait to go home & try! Haha, and I just got to work...

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.

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 ...

Question:

Are the kernels out yet? And will it work with AMD Athlon 64+ 3700?

@Applefreak7Are the kernels out yet? And will it work with AMD Athlon 64+ 3700?

Not to my knowing. And I doubt it will work.

@UnrealizedNot to my knowing. And I doubt it will work.

Thank´s Unrealized for reply (;

I´ll hope it will come soon.

Have a nice day

@rebel6any news on the amd lion front?

See the posts at the very end of the topic

@davisin666See the posts at the very end of the topic

but you have snow leopard not lion if see it correctly

@rebel6but you have snow leopard not lion if see it correctly

Take a good look at his systems specs

and what kernel did you/he used and does it work also on amd phenom ?

there are tons of tutorials specific for them just use common sense we not inventing the wheel new

Still nothing on the Lion front?

I wonder why it takes so long.

@Lordadmiral DrakeStill nothing on the Lion front? I wonder why it takes so long.

I guess it's because of the 64-bit.. AMD kernel runs in a hybrid mode on SL..:(

@Lordadmiral DrakeAnd 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 :-|

@davisin666Nope, 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 :-|

Yep, That's it. Finder, etc do not start without a 64-bit kernel.

But still. I mean, we have Atom kernel for months now. Or is Atom easier because its Intel?

@Lordadmiral DrakeBut still. I mean, we have Atom kernel for months now. Or is Atom easier because its Intel?

A lot... because Atom can be done with a simple patch.
The same can not be said for AMD.
I tried many methods (and kernels) but I haven't got it to work with AMD yet. :-|

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

bonsoir à tous

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 !?

browse.geek bench.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 …)

Just joined the forum, hello

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?

@no1youknowzJust joined the forum, hello 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?

hello ,

Not new

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

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?

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.

Is there any more news on this?

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

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.

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

@GodofwarSnow 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…

I got Xcode 4.2 on SL 10.6.8 so I stop the Lion pursuit on my AMD

@m4f1050I got Xcode 4.2 on SL 10.6.8 so I stop the Lion pursuit on my AMD

Can you post links or instructions on how to do that?

Xcode 4.2 for SL

Step 1:

Xcode 4.2 for SL

adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_4.2_for_snow_leopard/xcode_4.2_for_snow_leopard.dmg

Step 2:

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

adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_4.3.1_for_lion/xcode_4.3.1_for_lion.dmg

Then do these steps in terminal (if root, remove leading sudo):

sudo cp -R /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/
sudo cp -R /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/
sudo cp -R /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.1\ \(9B176\) /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
sudo rm -f /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/Latest
cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
sudo ln -s ./5.1\ \(9B176\) ./Latest

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

@todestoAgreed. 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.

@UnrealizedThe 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

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

@todestoStill 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.

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

I written and compiled xnu 10.7.3 only 32 bit and work on my amd x2 250 LION !
It is picture !

Lion Kernel for AMD

WoW, if the picture is real…

Would you mind uploading the kernel for us?

@todestoWoW, if the picture is real… Would you mind uploading the kernel for us?

Sorry! Please wait for it kernel ! No today, no tomorrow , wait about a week !

@bronzovkaI written and compiled xnu 10.7.3 only 32 bit and work on my amd x2 250 LION ! It is picture !

Wow! if you're not trolling us, this is really amazing! I'm eagerly waiting for you to release this, thank you

@bronzovkaI written and compiled xnu 10.7.3 only 32 bit and work on my amd x2 250 LION ! It is picture !

Awwwwwwwwwww yeaaaah! Awesome!
How do you did it?

Please, post links dude

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

@bronzovkaSorry! Please wait for it kernel ! No today, no tomorrow , wait about a week !

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!

@R:A:W:X86Otherwise: There is the possibility to use 32-Bit Finder from Dev-Build 11A380 on GM / 11A511

Awesome ! I need it Finder 32-bit from 11a380 !

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

@davisin666What 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.

Please try it is mach_kernel_lion_amd_for_10_7_3_fam-15-16_model-6 (media fire.com/?ontvl5nznf58n9h) !
No work on intel !
You should write in boot flag "-legacy" - it is 32 bit !

says NAWCOM>blog.naw com.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."

you should get to gather with nawcom for to collaborate.

How do you installed lion?

@davisin666How do you installed lion?

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

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

I am currently stopped by a Kernel Panic:

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...

WOW... THANKS MATE...

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

The 64-bits finder can't be opened

---> maybe someday the kernel can be patched so it can run with -force64 flag

The 32-bits SAFARI can run flawlessly

THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK !

Very nice do u mind sharing the diff you compiled with so nawcom and AnV can help u improve the one u made ?

My Method
Cloned my Intel Box 10.7.3 with CCC replaced mach_kernel-> Installed Chameleon 1837 on drive with FakeSMC ,NullPower...,EvoReboot,FakeSMC Thermal PLugins, in S/L/E

Bootflags -v -legacy npci=0x2000 maxmem=4096

First Boot Success

Confirmed Working on SysSpecs in my Signature No Finder yet (offcourse) Full Support on 5770,Lan ,etc

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.

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...

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...

@R:A:W:X86OK. I can now confirm it working, too.

hi

aim getting the same panic you got

i am using retail lion 10.7.0 also retail 10.7.3
the two version gave me the same result

i had setuped this two versions of lion on my notebook so they don't have problem

can you share how did you solved this problem

My friend ! My computer's CPU can Installation the Lion 10.7 ?
CPU AMD A4-3300M APU with Radeon HD Graphics x2 1.90 GHz (100 MHz x 19.0)

Good work bronzovka! I installed Lion on my AMD server, with an AMD Athlon II X3 445 @ 3.1GHz cpu, most things seemed to work, but not everything and I couldn't get Finder to work, it said it couldn't find a symbol in the crash log.

@scififan68most things seemed to work, but not everything and I couldn't get Finder to work, it said it couldn't find a symbol in the crash log.

We all know that. It is only 32bit right now, and that is why. Once Nawcom and AnV and bronzovka updates it, we should be able to run full lion.

Source

I'm willing to help with some extra patching, etc...can bronzovka please post source code? (I believe that's what the APSL licensing requires anyway).

Spread the core of the lion version 10.7.3 for AMD family at 15 - 16, model 6!
Not all AMD is working! On the intel will not work!
Do not forget to collect the flag-legacy - a 32-bit)
Who supports AMD ssse3, you will not need to type the flag - it will be 64-bit)
"FROM appl elife.ru"

@larrougosWho supports AMD ssse3, you will not need to type the flag - it will be 64-bit) "FROM appl elife.ru"

Someone can prove this?

ASrock has published a Beta BIOS that would add AM3+ CPU support for my AM3 mainboard...
If selling my Phenom afterwards, I could effort to purchase the FX-4100... - But ofcourse I would only want to put money into this, in case it will work... :

this is the panic appears to me with legacy

and this with out legacy flag and here it stops

anybody can help me ?

i am using retail lion 10.7.3 hotiso dmg
using fakesmc iopcifamily from netkas

where is the problem ?

@$The-King$this is the panic appears to me with legacy

Yes , it mach_kernel for 10.7.3 ! i think you need kernel only 10.7.0 ))

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.

so i must install lion from snow ok

will use vmware to install it

@ $The-King$, 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.

How do I use the modified kernel? I tried replacing the 'mach_kernel' on the root directory of an iATKOS 10.7.2 L2 with the modified kernel, but the computer reboots almost immediately after entering the bootflags in Chameleon. Am I doing something wrong? I have an AMD Athalon II X4.

What model number and family ?

@akimoaplease share your source so people can help you with that

Please check PM...

@bronzovkaYour model is 5 , family - F ?

I don't understand? Are you talking about the CPU or something else?

@teh_pwnererI don't understand? Are you talking about the CPU or something else?

I don't have OS X installed. I have Windows. I wasn't able to boot into the install wizard with the modified kernel. Thanks.

@teh_pwnererI don't have OS X installed. I have Windows. I wasn't able to boot into the install wizard with the modified kernel. Thanks.

If windows , then you ownload programm cpu-z ! )

fx-8150, m5a97 mobo, 8 gig ram, everything is working fine, except qt and itunes and some apps closes, seems due to the old problem with syscall, sysret, sysenter, sysexit... ssse3 and upto avx extensions supported with fx processors.

finder is working ok

Huh, looks like your kernel doesn't work with my AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+, can you make it work for my cpu?

Here is my cpu-z output

, dude, thanks for your hard work!

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

Can you please post a diff/source soon? I'm excited to get started on working on this as well, as well as getting nawcom's help!

@bronzovkaKernel (media fire.com/?oid59g1gl3oq34p) 32 bit with model 5 .

Thanks so much! It's working now. <3

an OOT question…

Has anyone had success accessing their iCloud ?

coz I keep getting this error message while logging into it

FYI,
I've tried to boot with:

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)

Ok, I will try with VirtualBox (I was trying with Parallels and I couldn't install it because of the license agreement)

And I will make a 8GB partition to dump Mac OS X Lion on it.

Thanks mate!

None of the methods worked, same reboot when Starting Darwin X86 appeared

Looks like the problem is on the oldie AM2 processors, I see that the only cpus that are working are AM3 (Athlon II and greater)

I need someone to tell how did he boot to install LION..I cannot make a bootcd with this kernel and i do not know how..I ve tried everything and the only thing i did was to burn 5 useless cds...i have amd 965 that is supported with this kernel!can anyone help me plz!

just wondering if my phenom 9600 will work? family 16 model 2

@gednajust wondering if my phenom 9600 will work? family 16 model 2

Yes ,i add model 2-> mach_kernel_v1 (media fire.com/?i3anfjw0jxfsr9p)

vudothienan, yes you can install LION on your amd !

@bronzovkaYes ,i add model 2-> mach_kernel_v1 (media fire.com/?i3anfjw0jxfsr9p) vudothienan, yes you can install LION on your amd !

EDIT: managed to get on boot, but stuck on waiting DSMOS… any clues?

after three days of bad luck

after installing retail 10.6.3
mac refuses to update to 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 dmg

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 (osx 86.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 (osx 86.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

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.

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

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.

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

Will it work with my CPU?

@bronzovkaYes ,i add model 2-> mach_kernel_v1 (media fire.com/?i3anfjw0jxfsr9p) vudothienan, yes you can install LION on your amd !

Whar kernel should I use ?

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

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.

I downloaded this kernel for Model 5 Processors from a few pages back: media fire.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,
Shawn

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

Again, another reason to release source code...

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

@shawnanastasioHmm..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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Source code? We asked for it, you give it. That's the license of it. Not trying to be mean but there is a lot of people who want to mess with it. Thank you.

You wouldn't like to see yourself in bad light, wouldn't you? So don't make the same mistake as some other people did.

So do us a favor and release them Violating the license is very rude.

instead asking "does my amd work with this kernel" try it and you can find out yourself faster.

i removed my hdd installed from a intel hackintosh or real mac, overwrite copy/paste mach_kernel to root, put the hdd back in your amd cpu and ready to rock.
good luck

^^^^^^^^^^^

Lots of devs who would like to work on it and help you.

Okay, I installed iAtkos L2 to an external drive using a Core i5 Laptop, and replaced the kernel. However, when i boot with -v -legacy i get stuck at PCI Configuration Begin...so i booted with -v -legacy npci=0x2000. Now it would boot a little farther, however it gets stuck at this:

Thanks,

Hell yeah! bronzovka compiled a kernel for me, media fire.com/?u4647i57tuqk18e

PD: bronzovka, please share the kernel source
Thanks for the kernel!

Try booting with cpus=2. If that doesn't work try cpus=1.

Doesn't look like bronzovka is going to release the source code...

@pαuℓzurrr.Doesn't look like bronzovka is going to release the source code...

Yes, It's very sad if he doesn't do so, as APSL says:

The license does, however, require that if any derivatives from the original source are released externally, that the source be made available.

Also the development of it would be a lot faster if he did release it. I'm almost bleeding for the source code. (and making a diff isn't so hard, either)

He must to publish the source, the license is the license and is obligatory and I whish that he will publish the source soon.

We can only wait for it.

@bronzovkaYou need delete AppleIntelCpuPowermanagement*.kext and delete cache ! And try it is bootloader iBoot and start LION 10.7.3 ! ) IBoot - clover or xpc )

Thank for replay, the problems still exist, i have snow leopard. o other partition (GUID partition table) i installed iatkos l2 wich is 10.7.2, with iatkos i have installed these kexts (Fakesmc,Disabler,RTC,EVOreboot and IOPCIfamily kext) then i put my ATIATA kext in S/L/E then i put your kernel on root, installed Chameleon-2.1svn-r1914, (i dont know how to install other bootloader this one has installer) and then i tried to boot, my flags are: -legacy userkernelcashe=no -v, system hangs on waiting for DSMOS, then i delete (like you sed) intelapplecpumanagement.kext tried to boot, still the same, tried boot flag usbbusfix=yes.. and still the same system hang on waiting for DSMOS… i have no idea what i have done wrong? its clearly has to work on my stystem, any thoughts?

Agree with Unrealized!

I'm also watching the Russian thread via Google Translate: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&a… ↗

Not perfect but good enough to understand if he ever posts source there.

I might end up running IDA on both kernels and seeing what the difference is...

I know he has to release it but I think he already knows, there's no way you can make him release it. What you going to do, take him to court, who's going to spend that much on legal fees over this. Just wait, I'm sure he's just working on it a little more before its ready.

We are very thankful for your work.

Gee, I'm not that serious about it...it's just normal protocol to release source. All kernel devs have done that in the past...

I'm also thankful for all the work done.

@PookyMacManGee, I'm not that serious about it...it's just normal protocol to release source. All kernel devs have done that in the past... I'm also thankful for all the work done.

That's it.

and so did he …atleast to some people he just doesnt want the wrong peeps trolling with his work wich is perfectly understandable im pretty shure that the ones wich are compatible working on it have a source from him otherwise we get idiots like on nawcoms website trolling with wrong devloper names and virus sites to get attention ->blog.naw com.com/?p=908#comment-2485

I agree. People are just plain stupid. We should all just unite and get the work done. Instead of trolling.

@PookyMacManGee, I'm not that serious about it...it's just normal protocol to release source. All kernel devs have done that in the past...

Well I am into this since the early days of Leopard and this wasn't not usual in the beginning.
The source code of the ToH Kernel patch was made public end of May 2008.
More than half a year after the beginning of it's development.

It has proved that this had been the right decission.
If the source would not have been released back then, the development of the Voodoo Kernel would have never been achieved and AMD OSx86 would be already dead for a long time now...

But still I do understand him.
If I would have put a lot of work in to a Kernel patch, I would not want some tonymac like asshole to relabel it without giving any credits either.

Nevertheless I hope my argumentation will be heared...

@akimoaand so did he ...

Good to hear someone has it.
My FX-4100 is on it's way and my Phenom II just been put for sale on eBay.

I am pretty sure to get it fully working.

Would be to bad if some nasty Kernel depencies would end this with the release of some future system update...

If I would have put a lot of work in to a Kernel patch, I would not want some tonymac like asshole to relabel it without giving any credits either. Nevertheless I hope my argumentation will be heared...

made me smile ..100% agree

I can totally understand...no tonycrap people are needed to take credit for work they didn't do!

@UnrealizedI agree. People are just plain stupid. We should all just unite and get the work done. Instead of trolling.

Agreed!

I tried the v3 mach_kernel... More apps are working now such Activity monitor, but finder & Co. have the same problem

machdep.cpu.family: 16
machdep.cpu.model: 5

Mind adding support for these? It's an AMD Athlon II X3 450.

@gednaThank for replay, the problems still exist, i have snow leopard. o other partition (GUID partition table) i installed iatkos l2 wich is 10.7.2, with iatkos i have installed these kexts (Fakesmc,Disabler,RTC,EVOreboot and IOPCIfamily kext) then i put my ATIATA kext in S/L/E then i put your kernel on root, installed…

Can anyone help with this?

Try a different FakeSMC? Usually if it really stops at waiting for DSMOS, that's a FakeSMC issue...

@PookyMacManTry a different FakeSMC? Usually if it really stops at waiting for DSMOS, that's a FakeSMC issue...

thank you for response, well i have tried a bunch now, dont know with is newest, fakesmc v4? tired that but stll the problem is the same:(

try fakesmc from here
https://github.com/kozlek/HWSensors ↗

@$The-King$try fakesmc from here https://github.com/kozlek/HWSensors ↗

emm cant find the actual kext file…

@gednaemm cant find the actual kext file…

there are ZIP before http hit it and download will begain
you will find fakesmc under binaries

@Unrealizedmachdep.cpu.family: 16 machdep.cpu.model: 5 Mind adding support for these? It's an AMD Athlon II X3 450.

Yes should work !
You Family only 15 , no 16

I found source code from AnV or NAWCOM for amd for davisin666 (osx 86.co/member.php?u=24401) and write and compile and work only for davisin666 ! Maybe for anyone Phenoms ))

History .
I read source code from AnV and anothers developers . Then i write and fix xnu and working first kernel for amd )

just chatted with bronzovka and he agreed on the share

so here it is the diff -> media fire.com/?13l8882qpod4go7

may all cook us a Awesome AMD Kernel tx again Very much Dimitri be sure all who use that file may give the aprop. credit to him ! Since we are one Community

Aki

Will do! Thank you so much!

Just talked to meklort on IRC; to allow 64-bit support for SSE3-only CPUs, there need to be changes in the commpage to use SSE3 commands instead of SSSE3. I'll be working on that.

Thank you for the source code! Let the exploration begin

@bronzovkaYes should work ! You Family only 15 , no 16

Sysctl says 16. :S all I get is a instant reboot. Same on Linux, cat /proc/cpuinfo says 16.

it would be great to have x64 kernel special for bulldozer processors no ssse3 emulator needed at all...

@PookyMacManWill do! Thank you so much! Just talked to meklort on IRC; to allow 64-bit support for SSE3-only CPUs, there need to be changes in the commpage to use SSE3 commands instead of SSSE3. I'll be working on that.

@wastezMy system stucks like the System of gedna. One line before DSMOS will be displayed.

You try download boot from clover and run LION )
Should work ! )

@bronzovkaOk ! You try fix it )

I'd love if someone added it for me as I have a barely working OS X system at the moment. (You know, Snow Leopard and GTX 550 Ti don't like each other so I'm stuck at 1024x768)

I'll be waiting for a updated kernel.

@bronzovkaYou programmer for assembler ? )

Actually, this is new for me. I'm gonna try and see what I can do, though.

@gednaThank for replay, the problems still exist, i have snow leopard. o other partition (GUID partition table) i installed iatkos l2 wich is 10.7.2, with iatkos i have installed these kexts (Fakesmc,Disabler,RTC,EVOreboot and IOPCIfamily kext) then i put my ATIATA kext in S/L/E then i put your kernel on root, installed…

I also have the exact same problem.. Using the Model 5 Kext with a vanilla Lion 10.7.0 Install (with FakeSMC and NullCpuPowerManagement)

Any help would be very appreciated

@bronzovka the man the legend the most interesting man in the world

Thank you so much for your work, Bronzovka! I knew there was a way for AMD users. Good thing I held on my system.

Could someone tell me if my 10.7.0 install media works if I upgrade through Snow Leopard? And why it removes all files when I pick restart in Lion installer? I'm a bit confused here. Any help is appreciated or do I need to download 10.7.3 iso somewhere? (I burned my 10.7.0 App Store download to disc last year.)

(Also, can I install Lion to a partition by double clicking OSInstall.mpkg?)

I don't have a intel machine so I need a way to install it. I guess Xmove with 10.7.3 iso would work? Unless the kernel doesnt work with a 10.7.3 based installer either..

Can someone who installed it without a intel machine tell me how they did it?

@wastezMy system stucks like the System of gedna. One line before DSMOS will be displayed.

this worked for me

add flag

-s

then type in

mount -uw /

exit

should say
removed 2## orphand / unlinked files and 9 directories
(just an example)

then it boots. for me boots on third try and says the above line .its weird

@delgadilloalexthis worked for me add flag -s then type in mount -uw / exit should say removed 2## orphand / unlinked files and 9 directories (just an example) then it boots. for me boots on third try and says the above line .its weird

nop not worked for me, when i type mount -uw / and exit, i get no lines at all, using latest fakesmc... just cant get pass DSMOS

@pαuℓzurrr.Mac OS X Lion For All Computers Including AMD 10.7.3 V2 - Niresh Usual place...

Is this the same kernel or is other modified?

It has the same kernel! I haven't had the time yet to test it. Will report back when i've tested the DVD.

@pαuℓzurrr.It has the same kernel! I haven't had the time yet to test it. Will report back when i've tested the DVD.

But if it is the same kernel, finder won't run...

i think this version use the kernel already we have
and nearly the dvd maker hadnt tested it on amd

any way try

@pαuℓzurrr.I'm not even sure if it would boot the dvd..

Do you have Amd Turion 64 X2 on your Dell?

The first thing I'm going to do is apply the diff to all the Lion xnu sources and see if that will boot the installer.

ok i give up at the moment tried everything i can possibly can, from boot flags to different kexts, and fakesmc, CANT pass the waiting for DSMOS.. hang, i think it could be related to bootloader, but i cannot imagine that chameleon cant boot lion, nonsense, tried Clover_v2_r338_EFI_x32_x64.pkg it gives me black screen, or i dont know how to install it properly.

In answer to Unrealized...

With Snow Leopard on AMD or Mac Machine.

thank you for replay, tried this one too, no go, btw what to choose? boot0 64 or 32? boothfs -32or 64? or updates? on amd system

@gednathank you for replay, tried this one too, no go, btw what to choose? boot0 64 or 32? boothfs -32or 64? or updates? on amd system

I think if you've got a GUID partition use boothfs -32, or if you have MBR patched drive install use boot0 32.

@lunfaiWith Snow Leopard on AMD or Mac Machine.

How?Since one cannot boot with the installer. Any steps?

Do I use my 10.7.0 install media or do I download it elsewhere?

@UnrealizedHow?Since one cannot boot with the installer. Any steps? Do I use my 10.7.0 install media or do I download it elsewhere?

I've heard that you can install on another partition from using the Lion Install WITHIN Snow Leopard, so you don't need to boot the Installer. Also look at this: tonymacx86.blog spot.co.uk/2011/07/xmove-multibeast-install-os-x-107-lion.html

Yeah, I know XMove, but it fails.

I would love to know how do I install Lion within Snow Leopard, as the OSInstall.mpkg method doesn't work. It says there is no software found to be installed.

I'll try using CCC to clone the Snow Leopard installation to a GUID partitioned drive. Maybe XMove works then.

(Also, 1024x768 is starting to hurt my eyes, 3 weeks with no QE/CI is fun )

for gfx did you tried nvidia driver for 10.6.8

@lunfaiI think if you've got a GUID partition use boothfs -32, or if you have MBR patched drive install use boot0 32.

Yes my all hdd is on GUID with 2 partition one for snow other for Lion, and your suggested choices didnt worked, black screen, no go

@gednaYes my all hdd is on GUID with 2 partition one for snow other for Lion, and your suggested choices didnt worked, black screen, no go

have you tried npci=0x3000 with char?

@$The-King$for gfx did you tried nvidia driver for 10.6.8

Yup, but GTX 550 Ti is only supported from 10.7

@UnrealizedYup, but GTX 550 Ti is only supported from 10.7

try 10.7.3 kexts on 10.6.8 !

@UnrealizedYup, but GTX 550 Ti is only supported from 10.7

Have you treid forcing your resolution?

Graphics Mode=1280x1024x32

Replace the bolded with your native resolution. It won't fix QE/CI but will have native resolution.

@lunfaiHave you treid forcing your resolution? Graphics Mode=1280x1024x32 Replace the bolded with your native resolution. It won't fix QE/CI but will have native resolution.

Yeah, I did, it reverts to 1024x768

Anyways, back on topic, xmove worked on my GUID formatted partition, but the installer doesn't really want to start. all I have is a console, where I can write stuff but it doesn't load anything. And with -legacy I get a kernel panic.

Will try with 10.7.3 iso if it has some more use. :

This is what my Extra folder looks like

Boot in single-user mode (-s) and type

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleTyMCEDriver.kext

A good option with Lion is to NOT use an E/E folder ...

Putting every kext in the S/L/E folder provides better results ...

@lunfaiThere's a "AMD 10.7.3" iso floating around.

Hope someone who downloaded it could tell about their experience with it. I'm personally downloading the 10.7.3 installer from App Store.

@PookyMacManBoot in single-user mode (-s) and type rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleTyMCEDriver.kext

Thanks that worked!

Lion works expect for Finder, for now.

personaly dont understand why people bother downloading a pirated copy with something they allready know its only half working anyways..plain stupid to me .i mean if you get caught for that how many times would u slap yourself for it ...just sayin

@akimoapersonaly dont understand why people bother downloading a pirated copy with something they allready know its only half working anyways..plain stupid to me .i mean if you get caught for that how many times would u slap yourself for it ...just sayin

Yeah, that's why I try to get retail running.

Stuck on this:

I think it doesn't work for install even when it's 10.7.3 dmg from app store..

Huh, reinstalled iAtkos L2, now I can't boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, otherwise the system won't have video signal.

I have a 9800GT, I reinstalled twice and the same bug happens, and I tried with Natit, without success.
Also, the system doesn't always boot.

all work? if finder doesn't work you can use leap or other alternatives

Unrealized, there apparently needs some more work done on the kernel to prevent launchd from crashing.

Davis, boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000.

@PookyMacManUnrealized, there apparently needs some more work done on the kernel to prevent launchd from crashing. Davis, boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000.

I'm already using those settings (GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000 and -legacy), and keeps happening

Also using the Natit/VBIOS/Nvidia rom gives me the same result.

Looks like I will need to wait for a boot cd/distro/kernel improvements in order to make it work correctly.

I will try again with iAtkos L2, with the distro kexts (Not my extra/extensions kexts, as I did with the 8Gb partition), since 10.7.3 retail doesn't let you to install from Snow Leopard.

Are you using the 10.7.3 kernel for L2 which is 10.7.2?

@lunfaiAre you using the 10.7.3 kernel for L2 which is 10.7.2?

Yep, because is not possible to install 10.7.3 retail/updater over Snow Leopard to the lion partition, but with iAtkos is possible.

Also, I've installed the 10.7.3 update and the nvidia drivers, booting without the graphicsenabler, and is still happening.

I will try to remove some nvidia kexts that are not belonging to my vga model

PD: Looks like Snow Leopard is making some kernel/kext caches in the Lion partition.

I never realized how vital Finder was until I now ...

Apparently you can't even empty the trash without Finder ... (rm -rf does the job but still ...)

@mindlessmissyI never realized how vital Finder was until I now ... Apparently you can't even empty the trash without Finder ... (rm -rf does the job but still ...)

Make a script that emptys the trash for you. Thats what i am going to do…if i ever get it to work…

@mindlessmissyI never realized how vital Finder was until I now ... Apparently you can't even empty the trash without Finder ... (rm -rf does the job but still ...)

Use PathFinder
And you can empty the trash with it, the item is in the PathFinder menu

Stick with Snow Leopard, I didn't know that the finder doesn't work on Amd.

@UnrealizedCan anyone upload the OSInstall.mpkg?

cl .ly/3P2j1O0u0w2P3o173A0k from L2

@lunfaicl .ly/3P2j1O0u0w2P3o173A0k from L2 Taken from System\Installation\Packages

Thanks, will see if it works after I get home.

@bronzovkaYou try download boot from clover and run LION ) Should work ! )

Clover does not work on my system, don´t know why…

@wastezClover does not work on my system, don´t know why…

What about Chameleon?

@paced98does anyone have a guide of installing iatkos l2 on the AMD processor?

You need to run the installer on Snow Leopard. That's pretty much it. Then you just drop the kernel to the installed System.

There isn't a way we can know for sure unless you try it.

just tried and get a instant reboot, so I don't know if I got a kernel panic.

osx 86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2584&page=7

Try to top one if you still get force reboot, I get force reboot on the bottom one, and the closest I've been is with the top one (zip file).

Also on this page it mentions use UserKernelCache=No isn't it UseKernelCache=No
It says AM3 for the bottom which matches mine, but I've gotten far closer to booting it with the AM2 kernel. I just get the dreaded FakeSMC, but it did work once somehow. These are my boot flags.

-v -legacy npci=0x3000 UseKernelCache=No GraphicsEnabler=Yes

nvm, the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext andAppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient.kext didn't do anything:(

Yes I have seen that one too, gonna try that. ) )

Instant reboot? Be sure to use a up to date boot loader.

I got this running finally, by borrowing my friend's mac to install 10.7.3.

I do have the latest chameleon 2.1svn r1916 and does not change anything.

YAY! I finally fixed the instant reboot! but get stuck at the waiting for DSMOS

i am waiting my new usb3 HDD in the middle of next week
so the faster one to arrive will use it kernel support install or usb HDD

@paced98YAY! I finally fixed the instant reboot! but get stuck at the waiting for DSMOS

Yes i was fighting this problem and still havent find any solution to avoid DSMOS problem using chameleon 2.1 r1914, and iatkos l2, if someone finds the solution PM me thank you amd friends

@paced98YAY! I finally fixed the instant reboot! but get stuck at the waiting for DSMOS

Did that kernel fix it? try and use my boot flags, I put them in previous post.

@lunfaiDid that kernel fix it? try and use my boot flags, I put them in previous post.

Yes, that one sure fixed that problem

@paced98Yes, that one sure fixed that problem

I got past waiting for DMOS once, basically it loaded the graphics driver but didn't budge further.

@gednaYes i was fighting this problem and still havent find any solution to avoid DSMOS problem using chameleon 2.1 r1914, and iatkos l2, if someone finds the solution PM me thank you amd friends

Do you use -legacy? It does that for me when I don't use -legacy.

Also any news? I wonder if anyone is still developing

Do you use -legacy? It does that for me when I don't use -legacy.
Yes all the time, -legacy UserKernelCache= No -v
when im not using this line im stuck at major minor

I have -legacy, but still get the waiting for DSMOS

@gednaDo you use -legacy? It does that for me when I don't use -legacy. Yes all the time, -legacy UserKernelCache= No -v when im not using this line im stuck at major minor

make sure there's no space in UserKernelCache=No and it's Use not User.

UseKernelCache=No

@lunfaimake sure there's no space in UserKernelCache=No and it's Use not User. UseKernelCache=No

Oh i was misinformed then thank you for correction, will try that

if your stuck at "dsmos has arrived" pretty much means it booted fine but your graphics aren't loading

I'm using nvenabler64.kext in sys/lib/ext/ and works perfect on AMD 9650 x4 phenom

GraphicsEnabler=Yes was not working and would hang dsmos so i removed it

i have a geforce9500gt

FYI I don't use the UseKernelCache on my kernel flags and it still boots fine

@UnrealizedFYI I don't use the UseKernelCache on my kernel flags and it still boots fine

me to

UseKernelCache=Yes was working for me =No …shit they both work for me to be honest

@UnrealizedFYI I don't use the UseKernelCache on my kernel flags and it still boots fine

You used pure Lion 10 7 3 and installed it on drive then replaced kernel? (then installed charmeleon?)

Ugh, this is annoying, I get no kernel panic and I get stuck on "Waiting for DSMOS", is there any fixes?

@lunfaiYou used pure Lion 10 7 3 and installed it on drive then replaced kernel? (then installed charmeleon?)

That's correct, but you need an Intel machine in order to install it. Then you just put in the kernel and it works. At least for me.

The only bug I seem to experience is that sometimes app stop opening, but I guess there is a simple fix for that too

Do you guys think that if I install 10.7.3 over iatkos's 10.7.2 would work?

@UnrealizedThat's correct, but you need an Intel machine in order to install it. Then you just put in the kernel and it works. At least for me.

Glad you've finally got native resolution

What model/family was your processor?

@lunfaiGlad you've finally got native resolution What model/family was your processor?

The one in my sig.

machdep.cpu.family: 16
machdep.cpu.model: 5

checked and is this supported?

family: 16
model: 2

@paced98checked and is this supported? family: 16 model: 2

If it boots, then it is. If it reboots immediately then it isn't (or you are having a old boot loader)

Offtopic:
Just tested a few games, all of them work fine. Modern Combat Domination and CS Source both run over 60fps easily. And no crashes.. so far the kernel is a bit buggy though as some apps stop opening after a while... and Launchpad is a bit laggy, but I guess it's fixable.

Edit: Something to fix. Getting many of those. Like 100 every minute.

I think if I let this run overnight I run out of disk space So yeah, a fix would be awesome. I get like 2 crash reports per second at the moment.

Otherwise it's really nice to run Lion though, I use Path Finder as my file browser and I can even have my Desktop icons with it.

Edit: It seems like my usb ports are left enabled after I shut down my computer. Awesome, I wonder why.

Can you give me your Extras folder from charmeleon?

@paced98Do you guys think that if I install 10.7.3 over iatkos's 10.7.2 would work?

i used narish 10.7.3 (intel only version not the new one) or whatever cause I'm lazy.
installed from my intel laptop put copied the kernel then put hdd back in AMd desk top and wam i(i booted once an the intel and prep the system for AMD)

Man my system freezes right when I see the Before you Begin part (where you set up the "unknown" keyboard).

Fixed it, now everything works, except Finder and some other apps.

What did you select in iATKOS L2 as customize?

@paced98@lunfai What are you stuck on?

I did clean install of iATKOS without customize and then used chimera bootloader to load it in, but get FAKESMC. share you boot flags too? Charmeleon refuses to boot when I put it on USB, don't know why.

But now I just bought path finder and done something and made it get stuck on DSMOS has arrived

@lunfaiI did clean install of iATKOS without customize and then used chimera bootloader to load it in, but get FAKESMC. share you boot flags too? Charmeleon refuses to boot when I put it on USB, don't know why.

my boot flags are

-v -legacy npci=0x2000 graphicsenabler=Yes

I had the USB problem to so I used multi beast to fix that, or maybe I deleted AppleHPET.kext from System/Library/Extensions/

@paced98my boot flags are -v -legacy npci=0x2000 graphicsenabler=Yes I had the USB problem to so I used multi beast to fix that, or maybe I deleted AppleHPET.kext from System/Library/Extensions/

You used multibeast to install Chimera or Charmeleon? which version link? Did you select anything during the customize of L2.

Yes in L2 I chose
-Chameleon 2.1
-Graphics Enabler
-Built-in Ethernet
-32-bit
-FakeSMC (get the v4)
-Disabler
-Ev0reBoot
-IOPCIFamily
-AHCI SATA
-USB
-PS/2
from my other mac lion, I installed 10.7.3 and installed EliottForceLegacyRTC, IOUSBFamily Rollback, and PS/2... using multi beast
edited my kernel flags (above post)
and after that I deleted AppleIntelCPUManager.kext (also the client) and AppleTyMCEDriver.kext.
booted -s (booted like this since I got stuck and mouse and keyboard won't function)
mount -uw /
touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
reboot
(came to the login, but I didn't login since I don't know user and pass)
booted into -s (again)
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
reboot

and this is how I got it to work, also I had another mac to help me install some other things

Any news? New kernel would be nice; xpchelper still crashes and is trashing my hdds with this speed.

can u plz upload the 32 bit finder so we can use it?!i've searched but i did not find anything!and how to replace with the old one!

You reccomended me update or I must continue waiting for other update to kernel?

I have a turion x2 16/5

@francescoYou reccomended me update or I must continue waiting for other update to kernel? I have a turion x2 16/5

You should wait, this has a lot of problems and is mostly meant for bug hunting.

i have tried that, when you type those lines, i only get "cant find amd" or something and insta reboot i doubt it is perfectly working like he stated,

how did u replace the finder with the path finder?

@larrougoshow did u replace the finder with the path finder?

You don't replace it. You just download and run it. Better alternative would to use the DP2 Finder. But so far noone has uploaded it..

@gednai have tried that, when you type those lines, i only get "cant find amd" or something and insta reboot i doubt it is perfectly working like he stated,

Seriously, when it doesn't work for a retail disc, why would it work for a distro? I don't get some of you guys

I understand but since i have time to try, why not, even though i havent find any success booting lion at any way, dsmos problems

@gednai have tried that, when you type those lines, i only get "cant find amd" or something and insta reboot i doubt it is perfectly working like he stated,

You must write "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386 -v at boot

Seriously, when it doesn't work for a retail disc, why would it work for a distro? I don't get some of you guys

dumb as a rock ! is all i get in my mind

@SebyYou must write "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386 -v at boot

Did you try it personally? I doubt it works. I wouldn't trust a random noname releaser (which cannot even use punctuation when writing). And I bet he didn't fix the kernel himself it it did, but I don't think there is such parameter in the kernel as "Kernel Cache". Only UseKernelCache, which doesn't work with the kernel (as it doesn't create an extensions.mkext).

Edit: Yup, no such feature exists.

@akimoadumb as a rock ! is all i get in my mind

Tried on VirtualBox and it boots.

Just tried with real hardware, instant reboot:(

@SebyTried on VirtualBox and it worked (except finder). Just tried with real hardware, instant reboot:(

It's because VirtualBox emulates a Intel chipset (ICH).

Ontopic, I'm still looking for the Lion DP2 Finder, I'm not downloading DP2 for it!

Did you realize a way to get it working? I'm on Amd Turion 64 x2

@SebyDid you realize a way to get it working? I'm on Amd Turion 64 x2

Turions have always been problematic.Their architecture is a bit different from others.

Have you tried cpus=1? If that doesn't work then the kernel doesn't have support for your CPU Family/Model.

Always instant reboot

Other solutions? Here is my cpu-z

@SebyAlways instant reboot Other solutions? Here is my cpu-z

I think that model is not supported at the moment.

Which bootloader do you use? The latest version?

ACPI Error

I've been trying also but I always get a kernel panic during boot:

I haven't touched it and my system runs fine, maybe there is something wrong in the disc and it's software instead?

Personally I have seen 2 ways for making a successful install:

- Using the retail discs on a real Mac/Intel hackintosh and swapping the hdd after install
- Using iAtkos L2 (Install by running OSInstall.mpkg on Snow Leo)

I can confirm both of those work. Not personally tried iAtkos, but my mate did. I don't really trust Niresh's dvd since I don't think he has a special kernel. On some people it does indeed boot but gets stuck on root device.

I can confirm that DP2 Finder works, but it won't on startup for some reason it causes a hang before the desktop. Moving it before boot and placing it in /System/Library/CoreServices after boot works.

Got the Finder app! Have not tested yet, but I have found my DP2 lion and does have the setting to run in 32bit mode ) Please test and check if it does work by replacing finder in System/Library/CoreServices

Niresh

OK guys i have been into nireshes install and i can confirm that "Kernel Cache"=\amd is very smart cause it autodetects your model and takes the right Kernel. But of course booting hangs after loading boot device and osinstall.mpkg is not iCpu free so i couldnt install it that way and Xcode doesnt work so i dont have flat package editor to change it . And when i tried to boot from the DVD my system hangs on logon screen.

And can someone confirm that DVD images cannot be scanned for restore?

help guys

IS there any fix for that annoying bug that after 5 minutes apple apps wont start?

@xmaniak100IS there any fix for that annoying bug that after 5 minutes apple apps wont start?

It looks like xpchelper quits and refuses to start causing some apps to just hang when starting ...

@paced98Got the Finder app! Have not tested yet, but I have found my DP2 lion and does have the setting to run in 32bit mode ) Please test and check if it does work by replacing finder in System/Library/CoreServices

Looks like it works on my end BUT I have not restarted yet to confirm scififan68's finding of it causing a hang at login ...

I just restarted and there was no hang at login ... The annoying xpchelper crashes are still occurring though !

finder

OK guys i restarted and there was no hang at login login was even faster now BUT can somebody confirm that when u restart OS X is not able to quit finder? because it stops there always on my PC

And also guys just wandering...can you somehow patch appstore cause it always show that u need 64bit intel CPU...

Ah yeah, upgraded to kernel v3 and finder from dp2 works as it should on boot. But my system feels slower for some reason now.

Check my reply few pages earlier..xpchelper crashes and then it starts being sluggish because reportcrash eats all your cpu.

@xmaniak100And also guys just wandering...can you somehow patch appstore cause it always show that u need 64bit intel CPU...

It works fine here

I'm also wondering if anyone is working on the kernel at the moment? It's really silent

Unrealized, well I already followed your instructions to make it unexecutable, still acts like its sluggish a bit.

@scififan68Unrealized, well I already followed your instructions to make it unexecutable, still acts like its sluggish a bit.

It does indeed, there is something else wrong in the kernel itself.. I personally reverted to a older kernel.

Also I'm wondering if there is any real difference between the kernels since they are exactly the same in size..

Also, proof for some people who say App Store doesn't work, it works fine here:

So does the Finder.app work? And yes I have not seen an update on the kernel.

@paced98So does the Finder.app work? And yes I have not seen an update on the kernel.

Yes, it works perfectly fine here. Also I have not experienced the "Apps do not open" -bug with the mach_kernel_amd.zip kernel

Edit: It started it again but I don't know yet if apps have stopped opening. Edit2: Yep it did

Glad everything is almost perfect. Just wished there was a legacy kernel from nawcom.

My computer is not really stable with this kernel.

@UnrealizedIt does indeed, there is something else wrong in the kernel itself.. I personally reverted to a older kernel.

Which kernel you using now?

@paced98My computer is not really stable with this kernel.

Mine is stable as long as I don't open new apps..

@scififan68Which kernel you using now?

the one from mach_kernel_amd.zip but honestly I don't think there is any difference between them as they are all exactly the same in size.. :<

trying mach_kernel_bronzovka.zip now..du says the size of all of them is 14752 though..Also trying smbios tweaks..

Luckily it's not my only OS as I run Gentoo and Ubuntu as well, if it was I would be in pain

ASUS F3K with Athlon X2 (TK57). Trying boot from Niresh-12495-Lion-10.7.3-V2 dvd. Starting to boot with "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386

Any suggestion, please. How to get log from screen too.

AMD System Hangs "Waiting for Windows Server"

I have an amd box here that has been running 10.5 and 10.6 for a few years now, nice and stable…
With Lion, I grabbed Bronzovka's kernel, copied an Intel box installation of 10.7.3 over to a partition on the AMD box and started tinkering...
Set boot flags per various posts…

Added Kext's ...
So far no joy, just hangs … Waiting for Windows Server
Now the Intel box had intelchipset while the AMD box has the Nvidia chipset

So I'm wondering if I need to add more Kexts?
I've got FAKESMC, IOUSBMassStorage, Evoreboot, NullCPUPower, IOUSBFamily, JMicron36, IONetworking Family, and Elliott...

Please let me know about other Kexts.

AMD is Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Brand ID 4 Socket AM2,

Kernel v3, Finder dp2, CrashReporter stopped but it "freeze" after 30 seconds (no more internet connection, Installer.app not working)

i ran into more problems recently and was hoping that u can help me...

1. =Sometimes when i boot it is stuck on spinning apple logo and when i am in verbose it hangs after DSMOS arrives so i think it just could get into GUI... (if i wait a little i see 251 errors...is that xpchelper?)

2. =When I enter fullscreen on some apps(like preview or angry birds space) and I click quit fullscreen my PC either gets KP or goes into login with message that your computer was shut down to prevent damage

Anybody could fix it?...

And my AMD is model 5... I am using the only one kernel i have found...no idea what version it is... if you could give me link for newest kernel for AMD model 5 i would be very happy...

same problem

@Sebysame problem

Again, maybe the problem is in the Niresh's dvd itself? Try using something else, like upgrading from Snow Leo with iAtkos (which I don't personally recommend as it's illegal, but it works).

or use a computer with Intel CPU and swap out the hdd after install.

@xmaniak1001. =Sometimes when i boot it is stuck on spinning apple logo and when i am in verbose it hangs after DSMOS arrives so i think it just could get into GUI... (if i wait a little i see 251 errors...is that xpchelper?)

I think it's closely related to xpchelper.

Can I just ask...what is xpchelper in fact doin? because if it crashes all the time and everything "works" it isnt doin much... is it some kind of application panics handler? thats why they start after 20 minutes and they just dont respond?

Another problems

I think it's closely related to xpchelper.

UM i think its not cause first xpc crash happens like 30 secs after that(i can see it when im in verbose) but anyway i fixed it by downloading newer kernel...

AND i ran into one more problem… installer doesnt work even just after boot

Reverted to Chameleon 2.1 rev 1819 and my 9800GT worked, no more black screen.

EDIT: Also worked with 1902

What if we get a DP2 xpchelper and we replace it?

lion and kernel

there is now a lion amd kernel out that works with athalon x2 and phenom at this site outher have got theres running but i am having trouble with mine if any one would like to try it if you get your up maybe you can help me osx 86.net/view/2584-mach_kernel_10.7.3_amd.html

my specs acer aspire t-180 athalon x2 3ghz 6 gb ddr2 800mhz

okay finally got installed but it hang at waiting for pci config i tried all three kenel and i get the same thing need some help here i also tried the fixes i could find online still the same thing also tried quotes too no dice

have fun let me know if anyone has any luck with it maybe you will help me out

Omg

What if we get a DP2 xpchelper and we replace it?

Great idea

why quotes arent working for me? -_-

not that new dwash... im already using it... what trouble exactly do you have?and are you using one for AM2 CPU socket or AM3

And whats full CPU name? so i can find out which socket it needs in case

Just to show you here is myself booting OS up with it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq_8fJtronE&feature=… ↗

davisin666 I was thinking about it but I dont think itll work... because I cant even find it and also its full time running so replacing it isnt the best idea but maybe im wrong

Will be able to think more deeply after ill find out what exactlyit does... becuz now I think it handles errors in apps thats why they cannot start

And I think its not a file...I think its like a lot of files according to this:
paste bin.com/h2Q1kvRE

lion amd kernel

when try and boot the installer it screen goes black and it restarts and i have am2 socket cpu

what method did you use to boot and install lion on you rig

full cpu name is AMD Athalon (tm) 64 x2 Dualcore 3600+SSE1,2,3 x86 x64 AMD-V cpu

@xmaniak100, dwash -- Please use edit, no need to spam the whole thread and make it very hard to read! Thanks

Nice to hear! too bad it isn't that simple to replace as it's a core service.

dwash kernel

use the one for AM2 socket think its the first one... it cannot boot installation media since inst. media is 10.7.0... u need to use OSInstall.mpkg method and it instant reboots cause you need to use -legacy and if you do then I need to know family and model of CPU

and unrealized sorry
Puttabong: np

Well, This has been discussed so many times in this threads. You cannot install it from the installation media (yet).

But you can install from 1) a real mac, swap the hdd after install 2) Install Snow Leo and install iAtkos L2 to another partition by running OSInstall.mpkg.

I would check if the CPU is supported first, though. Also, old Chameleon doesn't work for Lion, it causes an instant reboot.

@Puttabong: Thanks
Pb: Thank you ofc!

If you have Snow Leopard and don't have windows and need to use CPU-Z to check cpu, use CPU-X as an alternative (download here (osx 86.net/view/399-download.html))

This is not really for AMD, so it shows some of the items

64bit

Is -legacy really 32bit? Becuz as you could see in video i posted before it detects all 16Gb of RAM... How can it?

@xmaniak100Is -legacy really 32bit? Becuz as you could see in video i posted before it detects all 16Gb of RAM... How can it?

AFAIK, most modern O/S use PAE (Physical Address Extension) which allows 32-bits x86 processors to access a physical address space (including random access memory and memory mapped devices) larger than 4GB

What was your boot command? Did you use a boot cd? Are you using retail or distro? Poor people use distros(I'm poor). Also, the only hackintosh's I've gotten to work are distros. Retail never seems to work for me.

It's like that for me too, I attempted to apply the diff manually to the 10.7.0 kernel and compiling on SNOW LEOPARD caused xcodebuild issues, I am certain it needs to be done on lion...

Yes. I applied the diff but I can't even compile on Lion...I'm gonna reinstall the dev tools and see what I can do.

Update on kernel from Bronzovka..
osx 86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2584
"NEW KERNEL mach_kernel V4 supported all old Intel AMD core but without emulator Ssse3"

Whee! Now we need some source code! This is getting exciting...

This is cool, now it supports old intel proccessors too. But is that all it does in this update, just more support to old proccessors.

I gave up on Niresh's DVD. No matter what I did, it would not boot.

I just installed a clean copy of Lion on a flash drive and replaced the kernel with an AMD version. It boots but I get a kernel panic saying: "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\"..."

You are not using a kernel compatible wit your system. Did you get the right kernel?

Yes, I'm using the second kernel on this page:

osx 86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2584&page=10

I did the same thing and it's telling me that it can't find legacy_kernel

Well, I managed to get a couple of lines farther but now I'm stuck on:

"RTC: Only single RAM bank (128 bytes)"

What does that even mean?

I managed to get a little bit farther using rBoot. Currently, I'm stuck at: "Failed to load com.apple.driver.ApplyUSBOHCI -link error"

What can I do to resolve this issue?

Use the mach_kernel_V4 one at the top of his page
Or this page: osx 86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2584
to get it to boot install your favorite chameleon flavor, then at the chameleon promp type -legacy cpus=2 busratio=16 arch=i386 GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0.

As I've said (for the 7th time, just counted!) many times, you need to use iAtkos L2 or a real mac. You don't really "update", but you install it to it's own partition via Snow Leopard.

Run OSInstall.mpkg from iAtkos L2 dvd and you should be set, pick an empty partition and just drop in the kernel afterwards.

@delgadilloalexcan u please upload xpchelper from dp2 in show hidden files root/usr/libexec/xpchelper i would like to see if it fixes endless crash thats consuming cpu.

There is nothing wrong with the xpchelper, It's a kernel bug.

Making the XPCHelper issue slightly better...

When I saw that an attempt was being made to create an AMD compatible kernel of Lion, I dug out an old PC (all my newer systems are actual Macs) and installed 10.7.3 on it. I ran into the same xpchelper issue that everyone else here mentioned. Although I'm not a good enough coder to improve the kernel itself, I did manage to make the problem less annoying.

First up:

tell application "Activity Monitor" to activate
do shell script "launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ReportCrash.plist"
do shell script "launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ReportCrash.Root.plist" user name "adminuser" password "adminpwd" with administrator privileges

This AppleScript is very simple. It just launches Activity Monitor (so that you can see when xpchelper goes crazy. Then, it unloads the crash reporter (both from the user and as root) so that when xpchelper DOES crash, crash reporter doesn't go crazy creating system logs and writing them to disk. The downside is you can't get crash reports of other crashes, but for now, it's a huge help. You obviously need to replace adminuser and adminpwd with your administrative username and password. Then save the code in AppleScript Editor as an application. You can either save it to the desktop for quick access or use the login manager to set it to autorun. The downside is you still need to watch Activity Monitor for when xpchelper goes crazy, but simply clicking it and hitting the Quit Process button takes care of it until the next time it goes nuts.

I'm trying to make it so you don't need to do that:

property currenttime : 0
property previousbreak : 0 as integer
property currentbreak : 0 as integer
on idle
	set currenttime to time of (current date)
	set currentbreak to (currenttime / 60 / 60 / 30) as integer
	if currentbreak is not equal to previousbreak then
		do shell script "/usr/bin/killall xpchelper" user name "adminuser" password "adminpwd" with administrator privileges
		set previousbreak to currentbreak
	end if
end idle

This is a basic script that runs as an idle process and simply kills all xpchelper processes every two minutes. It does keep you from having to watch Activity Monitor but in my experience killing the process when its not going crazy leads to more app crashes, so its not ideal. Still, if you want to use it, again replace aminuser and adminpwd with the necessary details, compile and save in AppleScript Editor. This time you need to save as format Application, and check the box next to keep open.

I'm working on a method where it looks at CPU Utilization of the xpchelper processes and kills only the ones that have gone crazy. I don't have that quite working yet though, and it may need to kill all instances as the bad ones are crashing and reforming too quickly.

Anyway, hope that helps. On my system 10.7.3 is fairly useable on an old AMD system, which is pretty impressive given that none of it was possible just a couple weeks ago.

Or you can just chmod -x it so it's not executable, and crash dumps wouldnt be written AT ALL. It's not the xpchelper which is eating the CPU here, It's the ReportCrash (or whatever) process.

I have an AMD Athlon II X4 645, and my "About this Mac" used to say "Unknown CPU 3.1 GHz". When I installed OS X, I didn't have a dsdt.aml; However, when I finally extracted and compiled my own, my processor now says "3.1 GHz Intel Core i5". Is it possible to install Lion now that it displays an Intel CPU? I've attached a screenshot of my current "About this Mac".

Thanks,

@JadedRaverLAtell application "Activity Monitor" to activate do shell script "launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ReportCrash.plist" do shell script "launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ReportCrash.Root.plist" user name "adminuser" password "adminpwd" with administrator privileges this works but most…

it still runs activitymon. but mess. is access denied over and over
so then it wouldent boot with out it so…single user boot

Hi, thanks for your help. What kernel do I need for Amd Phenom IIx4 965? Does a kernel exist for that? And how do I just drop the kernel in? Is there a new folder that will be created on my snow leopard side that has Lions operating system in it that I can browse and drop the kernel in some how? Thank you my friend. I can install Lion on Snow Leopard side with iAtkos L2, do I need to be at Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or is being at 10.6.6 for Lion disc alright too or you are unsure?

Anyone have any Iatko's Lion Wallpaper? Iatko's has a pretty cool looking lion logo.

PM'ed you with instructions.

@todestoCan you help me out with instruction as well? Thanks.

sure sent, if you already have Snow Leopard running, use method 2.

Anyone got iCloud to work?

@lunfaisure sent, if you already have Snow Leopard running, use method 2. Anyone got iCloud to work?

I hate to be a pest, but could i get a copy of those instructions as well? I already have a copy of SL running and would not mind trying out Lion. Thanks for the help.

Yes, could you also PM me with those instructions?

Anyone here working in getting LION on a VM? This is my primary usage...

Why instructions via PMs?

Post them here, please.

Well, It's not finished. I will post them up when I finished the write up. EDIT: Formatted, it's being currently being approved on Insanely.

As for iCloud not working it's because we're using a self-compiled kernel meaning we won't be able to use it.

Does xpchelper still crash with the latest kernels?

@UnrealizedDoes xpchelper still crash with the latest kernels?

Yep
But only a few apps use xpchelper (TextEdit, Preview, etc)

Hi,

I have an existing Snow Leopard installation and am interested in installing/upgrading to OS X Lion. I followed your guide step by step, but every time I try to boot from my Lion partition, it instantly reboots the PC. During the post-installation phase, I didn't quite understand you when you said, "Install Chameleon using Chameleon Wizard on the harddrive." So I went ahead and used my existing bootloader to try and boot Lion, of course with your boot flags. I also tried using a USB stick to boot from it, but no success. Could the existing bootloader be the problem, and if it is, should I attempt to find the previously explained "Chameleon wizard" to install the proper one, then use fdisk to make my Lion partition my active one?

Thanks,
Lacedaemon

Well, Thanks for getting this kernel going.

I have installed and gotten a FX4100 AMD chip to boot/install Lion. Finder works and Itunes works and appstore works. It doesnt seem to like to run 32bit apps. DYLD needs to be patched so it seems and many more things. This has a way to go.

Many OSX86 devs are on a IRC server that i use. Including nawcom and others.

I have started a chan for AMD. irc.sojugarden.com #amd-hackintosh also people are in #hackintosh

Hello! Did you replace the mach_kernel file in the root of the installed Lion partition? If your machine reboots without showing any verbose (after kexts are loaded on screen and kicks into the system boot, your machine is either unsupported or your using wrong mach_kernel.

Try v5 or the one at the bottom (of the 5, the oldest one), but shouldn't make a difference. Charmeleon Wizard is a program you can get for Mac (Snow Leopard/Lion) that installs the latest version of Charmeleon (or update), with ease. It's a small application that downloads the latest trunk build and then even does the dirty work for you.

But, reading from that you need to replace mach_kernel. Open your Snow Leopard partition OR macdrive and replace the mach_kernel (it will be hidden, use showallfiles) on your Lion partition.

Thanks for replying, lunfai. Yes, I did replace the mach_kernel with the one in your guide, and the system did in fact list a bunch of kexts before rebooting. I'll go ahead and try the different kernels you described and report back. Thanks again! ^_^

Using a newer version of Chameleon might of been the problem, what build is the one your using? Let's add stuff.

-legacy -x -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 USBLegacyOff=Yes GraphicsEnabler=No

OK, I have not yet rebooted into Lion but I have replaced the mach_kernel with the v5 one. I am using Chameleon v2.0-RC5_699 (please note: this is located on my Snow Leopard partition, not my Lion partiton. I think I'll have to use fdisk to make the Lion partition active if I want to boot from there.) Thanks for those updated boot flags, I'll try those out later once this version thing is sorted out.

The great thing about Chameleon Wizard is, it'll actually be able to upgrade your snow leopards chameleon to the latest build by picking partition, and you won't need to install it on the lion partition.

@lunfaiUsing a newer version of Chameleon might of been the problem, what build is the one your using? Let's add stuff.

OK, so I used the boot flags mentioned in the above post, and I got a kernel panic upon boot. I think it doesn't instantly reboot now because of the updated Chameleon, and that's why I'm gonna retry the v4 mach_kernel instead of my current v5. I'll report back later and hopefully I'll be inside Lion!

For those who are wondering, you CAN'T just BOOT and install lion on your partition. You need Snow Leopard or Lion running already. My guide does cater for those who need these steps.

Great! Where does it reboot, after the loaded kexts, another black screen should pop up and display the actual verbose for booting.

USBLegacyOff=Yes Is to turn USB Legacy off, some motherboards have problems loading their keyboards, hence the reason for using this bootflag. You will either get no error shown and hangs on verbose or an EHCI controller error, where it doesn't move forward until it's either unpluged or it's frozen already. Also, arch=i386 is a safe flag, as Quicktime was reported not working without it by someone on Applelife.ru, but I just chucked it in, for safety measure.

@lunfaiGreat! Where does it reboot, after the loaded kexts, another black screen should pop up and display the actual verbose for booting.

The instant reboot would load the kexts but would never reach the black screen. It doesn't instantly reboot anymore; It loads the kexts, then continues on to a black screen, which is where the kernel panic appears. I've replaced the v5 kernel with the v4 and will try your original boot flags [and the new ones if necessary] ASAP. Just need to finish something up on my Windows virtual machine... :

Yepp, it's good for browsing web and instant messaging, but there's a bug that's causing xpchelper to crash when it's booted for around 10 minutes. You won't be able to configure the file system either, so word documents won't be able save and you won't be able to move/copy/paste file or install programs. Yeah someone said it wasn't working, but it's always worked for me.

Also have you got iCloud to work? I still think it won't work because it's self compiled kernel, but I'm also hoping I'm wrong.

I do not know, then I tested with iATKOS L2 OSinstall.mpkg and I met many more problems. But hey.

ps: I using the google translator.

@lunfaiTake a screenshot of it and I can help you ;D Make sure you type the boot flags correctly

OK, I'll try to take a pic of the problem using my iPad. For now, I got the boot process to go a little farther by adding the flag:

pmVersion=0

By adding this flag, the "Mac Framework" successfully started, but it still kernel-panicked. I tried both variations of your flags in addition to "pmVersion=0" but none worked.

Hi delgadilloalex,

Thanks for the suggestion! I will begin removing the previously mentioned plugins ASAP. How should I reinstall the kext? I normally use Kext Utility (cvad-mac.nar od2.ru/Kext_Utility) to install/service kexts; Would it be okay to use this application?

Thanks,

UPDATE: I viewed the package contents of the kext, there's no such directory as "Plugins". I tried using the "open" command in Terminal, but to no success. Can anyone please direct me to a suitable Fakesmc.kext? Thanks!

Yeah, pretty much... Do you have any clue as to what exactly is preventing Lion to boot at this point?

@LacedaemonYeah, pretty much... Do you have any clue as to what exactly is preventing Lion to boot at this point?

Everything up to that point is normal, can you install chameleon on another usb stick using chameleon wizard. If you updated the Snow Leopard one, I think you still have some kexts there in Extra/Extensions, this is causing a disruption with the system boot up.

I think this because it says there's a duplicate fakeSMC name (look in your screenshot with pmVersion=0). It says that it's being loaded again, so there has to be another kext being loaded somewhere, and it would make perfect sense. Just install clean chameleon on a new usb stick or remove Extra/Extensions + Extensions.mkext from the current chameleon. I'm not particular picking at fakeSMC, but it could be loading more then just fakeSMC (like Evoreboot, IOPCI, disabler, basically old snow leopard kexts), and these kexts could be causing the kernel panic.

OK, I installed Chameleon on my 16 GB SanDisk Cruzer using Chameleon Wizard as instructed, and the boot process went way further than before! ^_^ The infamous kernel panic is gone, but another problem as risen, as you will see below and in the attached pictures. The boot process stops at the following strings:

IntelCPUMonitor: Based on code by mercurysquad, superhai ©2008
IntelCPUMonitor: [Warning] No Intel processor found, kext will not load

Booting with lunfai's original boot flags ↗, I let the PC interact with the hard drive and the flash drive for more than 30 minutes, but it stayed at the same screen for the duration of the time. What do you guys think is wrong now?

Again, these pictures were taken with my iPad, so if anyone needs higher-res pics, I can certainly get those to you.

Is anyone working on getting the kernel to boot into full 64bit mode? so 32bit and 64bit apps run? Im currently on a FX4100. There is a place in there which needs to get patched for this cpu. One user here has done it.

the apps are working great without reportcrash after 45min of use. :

Hmmm do you have a IntelCPUMonitor.kext in your System/Library/Extensions/? If so delete it, because I don't have this kext on mine.

i took a look at the pic of your system with booted the usb stick DNSMOS has arrived so for system should be booted. I think your problem now is with your graphics if i don't have the correct drivers installed my system will sit there with text. try booting with GraphicsEnabler=Yes added.

Also i think the message about superhal is from a kext or possibly a plugin in your fakesmc go to your extensions folder and show package contents on your fakesmc, something like motherboard monitor plugin.

@UnrealizedI think the devs should use a version tracking system... Having random diffs there and there is no deal.

I agree. If you can dig up all the patches. and for the FX4100.

I forget his username here. But, Im using his kernel to fool around on.

Ill post it on github

@lunfaiHmmm do you have a IntelCPUMonitor.kext in your System/Library/Extensions/? If so delete it, because I don't have this kext on mine.

@DellamorteAlso i think the message about superhal is from a kext or possibly a plugin in your fakesmc go to your extensions folder and show package contents on your fakesmc, something like motherboard monitor plugin.

I've only got 2 files in the Fakesmc.kext Contents: Info.plist and MacOSX. Inside MacOSX is a file called Fakesmc, that's it. Could that plugin you're talking about be hidden?

UPDATE: Still no success; I removed IntelCPUMonitor.kext as instructed by lunfai, and later booted both with and without GraphicsEnabler=Yes as suggested by Dellamorte.

Lion doesn't boot if you don't have a supported graphics card. At least on my box

So, even if I had a supported graphics card, it wouldn't have booted because of that IntelCPUMonitor? Also, shouldn't it say "systemShutdown False"? I'm in the process of finding a good graphics card, would the GT320 be OK?

@LacedaemonSo, even if I had a supported graphics card, it wouldn't have booted because of that IntelCPUMonitor? Also, shouldn't it say "systemShutdown False"? I'm in the process of finding a good graphics card, would the GT320 be OK?

No matter what I can always load safe mode, even if my graphic card wasn't detected yet since I didn't modify the kext.

I would use this bootflag

-legacy -x -v GraphicsEnabler=No

As for the IntelCPU kext getting in your install, I have no idea how you got that if you used iATKOS L2 unless you select customized and got it, as my machine doesn't have this, and also my retail installation. That kext just got onto your system somehow, I didn't think it caused the faliure to boot, but it gave errors in the verbose.

Maybe a clean iATKOS L2 would be in order, if you give it one last try

Also, Bronzovka is working on a new version kernel, he hasn't given much information but I think it's going to make the AMD kernel more like the original. But there are problems from it using applications right now.

Lion is Aliiiiiive

@lunfaiNo matter what I can always load safe mode, even if my graphic card wasn't detected yet since I didn't modify the kext. I would use this bootflag As for the IntelCPU kext getting in your install, I have no idea how you got that if you used iATKOS L2 unless you select customized and got it, as my machine doesn't have this, and also my…

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO! That "clean install" business really did the trick, thanks lunfai! I have a Lion installation running, but I've got a lot more post-installation work ahead of me, one major thing being Finder. Could anyone walk me through that? Thanks all for helping me get this awesome OS! ^_^

Go to my insanelymac guide and you'll see it in my FAQ with download link. Boot up into Snow Leopard and then find your Lion partition and replace the finder.app in System/Library/Core Services/

Glad I could be of assistance, we finally made it

I noticed with the HD 5450 graphics without accélaration, after 2 hours walking copy / paste still working and I had only three applications that bugger.
As soon as I replaced the HD 5870 (native) bugs were almost immediate.
the problem does not come from the opengl /cl?

I've found this too, Safe Mode seems to last longer.

perhaps also the fact that there is no graphics acceleration, the processor is solicited and avoids the shelving of certain application.
it's still odd that Safari is not concerned.
Someone has tested a Lion DP2 to see if the phenomenon was persistent about this version?

Huh, seems like most kernel users are having video issues.
I can't boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, otherwise the monitor loses the signal when entering the gui (GeForce 9800GT).

Same result with the G92 enabler in iAtkos, rom injection, efi string, changing NVCAP, nvenabler 64, DSDT and nvidia official drivers from nvidia web site.

Dimitri came up with an explanation of why xpchelper is crashing the whole system and it's basically because it's linked with power management. This relates to the motherboard and the graphics card and how they're loaded, and that's what's causing the hang, when they're not defined properly.

and just when i thought amd + lion was dead i found this thread and after some reading decided to give it a shot, even though my setup is sooo old it shouldnt work anyway. well after lurking this thread and some google i have joined you amd lion peoples...yay! i did basically method 2(iATKOS L2) on lunfai guide except i installed to a different hard drive and not a partition. i had to use a custom kext(AppleNForceATA.imk64bit.kext) to get it to fully load and see the boot source. once in lion i enabled my other kexts for sound & wifi, the graphics were installed with latest nvidia mac drivers install.
thanks to lunfai for the guide that helped with the flags

RRTN = I have a similar system...tried the custom kext but wouldn't start...
did you remove the other sata kexts? ... I've tried the older snow kexts but they won't boot either...

@Dansa22
Have you tried AppleNForceATA.kext.TEST from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77071 ↗

@Dansa22RRTN = I have a similar system...tried the custom kext but wouldn't start... did you remove the other sata kexts? ... I've tried the older snow kexts but they won't boot either...

Make sure you repair your system files and verify permissions, as custom kexts can make or break the installation if you don't.

just reinstalled Lion again so heres my quick tut on what i did:

1. boot into Snow Leopard and with disk utilities select hard drive to install Lion select to partition as master boot record

2. run iATKOS L2 installer package and point at new Lion partition, install.

3. reboot into windows or Snow Leopard and replace mach_kernel (i used mach_kernel_v4_bronzovka (osx 86.net/view/2584-again_update__mach_kernel_10.7.3_for_amd!!!!!!!!.html)) and add to \Extra an \Extensions folder and drop the AppleNForceATA.imk64bit.kext (send space.com/file/xch0ty) into it...also i replaced the Finder.app with the DP2 Finder.app (media fire.com/?2560lfp1i63hmec)

4. installed chameleon with lizard to Lion but updated it with champlist after reboot and booted with these flags

-v -f -legacy arch=i386 npci=0x3000

5. at this point Lion fully loads. from here i fixed my wifi by editing IO80211Family.kext\Contents\PlugIns\AirPortAtheros21.kext\Contents\Info.plist and changing <key>IONameMatch</key> to only <string>pci168c,13</string>

6. i have AC97 audio(i know how fukin old) fixed with AC97Audio.pkg (media fire.com/?jo5ocf5h3d1kl0o)

7. fixed graphics with nvidia mac installer package ↗

8. enjoy a kinda working Lion havent got a kernel panic yet but the os locks up a lot(i see pinwheels)

9. and thx again to bronzovka & lunfai

So I've been playing around with Lion a bit, trying to get everything working. There are 2 crucial things I need running: Wifi and Sound. In SL, I get wifi from an app called "Ralink Wireless Utility". It installed correctly in Lion, but when I hit "Connect", it doesn't do anything. Also, I'm currently using AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for audio on SL. There were a few apps i.e. TextEdit, Software Update, that don't start-up. For now I'll be using SL as a daily OS but I'd really like to start using Lion!

Thanks,

I'm glad we got all fixed, I'm not sure why text edit isn't working.

@lunfaiI'm glad we got all fixed, I'm not sure why text edit isn't working.

Well, it just kinda bounces in the Dock and doesn't load, same w/ Software Update...

btw here are the boot flags I use:

-legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 GraphicsEnabler=Yes UHCIReset=Yes ForceHPET=Yes

Sometimes it doesn't boot with the UHCI and HPET flags, but they were both in my original com.apple.Boot.plist, so I just include them. I'm currently booting Lion from a USB stick, how would I get it booting on its own via the HD? I certainly can't use the Chameleon on the SL partition because it gives me a kernel panic if I do. Here's what I tried to do:

$ diskutil list
$ sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0
> f 3
> write
> exit
$ logout

That's supposed to make the Lion partition active but it still boots me to the SL partition anyway...

i have a problem with installing niresh lion v2

boot from dvd or pen drive dont work, still wait with intermittent cursor _ for hour
for this i'v tried with rboot cd in verbose mode and get error
Boot Args: boot-uuis=36ccd437-d875-3c97-abb7-b11ee7ea8bcd rd="uuis arch=i386
after this string reboot
i'm just tryed to type "kernel cache"=\arch=amd etc... and other option, but dont work

i believe to replace mach_kernel in the usb pen with any mach_kernel for amd posted in osx86 site, and try to boot, but... how to!?! now i have only win 7 64bit installed, and the pen drive result not accessible under windows.
Any ideas for this cataclysm!?!?!?
PS: 5 or 6 moth ago i have installed snow leopard in this pc, but with moooore problem and 1 moth of crazy work!

My configuration is:

ok

now the installation it's next step...
i replaced mach_kernel and now get error of acpi... unable to find driver for this platform...
how to?

i tryed to turn off in bios ACPI but dont work
hdd is set on AHCI

AMD x6 1090t
Asus M4A87TD Evo
GeForce GTX 560
But it just reboot after the Message: Start Darwin x86
I did the following stepts:

1. Install iAtkos l2 osinstall.mpkg with defelaut settings (just without bootloader)
2. Install Chameleon RC5 Beta
3. Copy bronzovkas Kernel to root folder, 32bit Finder to s/l/cs and applenforceata Kext to Extensisions in Extra

I have the same processor as you, and mobo is Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H. Try disabling AMD C1E is the bios and then boot. and use the flags in this order -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 I know the order shouldn't matter but for me some times it does. Hope it works

I ve got some more Apps working (in 32bit) ! Just download the fx_lion_kernel by R:A:W:X86:
fileu ploadx.de/646274

Rename the unzipped file to mach_kernel and copy in in the root folder of your lion installation.

Reboot with -v -legacy npci=0x3000

TextEdit works
Store works

@tejaswi.rohitI got it to work But apps stop launching after 10 min :'( wish that is fixed soon.

Now that i look better to my system i've got the same issue all works, but almost all native lion app, as appstore ,itunes e texedit ;after 10 -15 stop launching and of working of course T_T

I have the same kernel on my FX4100 with SSSE3 and it runs well. but it wont run 32bit apps yet.

I am looking for the orig patch + whatever patches he made it to work with the fx4100 so i can add it to github. so i can start a collab.

Thanks if anyone can help

have u tryed anvs bin/ amd_insn_patcher ? in the very beginning he made one for his first legacy lion kernel build… have a go with it and see if it helps ya

here it is cl .ly/103z1q3D2C3d2R012K0R

@A3yu@Ryman Where did you find that kernel anyway?

Hint: Another thread here.

It is .. after a few minutes actually native applications freeze and not open more ..

but curiously the applications installed then follow working perfectly.

I hope to remedy that soon will be a great job! ^ ^

@akimoahave u tryed anvs bin/ amd_insn_patcher ? in the very beginning he made one for his first legacy lion kernel build… have a go with it and see if it helps ya here it is cl .ly/103z1q3D2C3d2R012K0R

We did. (yes the Lion one from 10.6.8 legacy kernel thread (osx 86.co/f36/legacy-kernel-10-6-8-with-custom-dyld-t7318/post55947.html)) - no sucess.

I also went on and picked the bits that have to be changed for sysenter trap patch from AnV's source code & applied them manually to dyld.
(So I had just sysenter patch applied, no of amd_insn_patchers other modifactions)

The result is the same, after fixing permissions & copiyng over dyld, there is a Kernel Panic caused by the process of mdworker32 appearing immediately.
(rhcp also tried my dyld with only sysenter patch, he has the same panic)

Most likely it is not that application itself, that causes the problem.
Fixing this will require some more code change in the Kernel I think...

This doesn't bother me that much currently, as a lot of 64-Bit code has been added to Lion (iTunes, etc) - but still some code is left, that has not been updated, so we will have to look into cracking that problem.

do you have any solution for my problem of kernel panic acpi driver? Yesterday i've tryed to install snow leopard hazard and retail with nawcom bootcd, but return in any case the same error of acpi driver. Why?!

@rymanCan anybody boot in Lion without verbose mode?

i've tryed but dont work. i've tryed with:

-v -x -f
"kernel cache"=\amd
arch=i386
platform=acpi or osx86
fsb=200000000
dsdt=yes

and... with original mach_kernel of niresh lion, pc reboot automatically after bootcd. with niresh on usb i'ts different because i've change mach_kernel with mach_kernel V4, and with this dont reboot, but i'm get error of acpi
unable to find driver for this platform

this error is for niresh lion and hazard snow leopard and retail snow leopard, i remember "monts ago" i've intalled iatkos V7 leopard without more problem, but only there. any other distro report this error, this fu...d error!

@mike007do you have any solution for my problem of kernel panic acpi driver? Yesterday i've tryed to install snow leopard hazard and retail with nawcom bootcd, but return in any case the same error of acpi driver. Why?!

most likely your booting 64bit AMD can't do it
so add flag at boot
arch=i386 -v

Anyone managed to use iCloud & i Message?

i also noticed that after apps stop to run also some function of Finder stop to work , like copy o delete file? anyone?

i dont know if this is stupid question but...
its possible to change/replace dsdt of niresh lion cd installation with dsdt of iatkos v7 cd installation?
i bealive if replace it all work ok, beacause acpi driver is collegated with dsdt file...

hemm... but... i have 2 hdd formatted in ntfs filesystem, this dont compromises the boot or not?

Very COOL.

i have MSI 790FX-GD80 and AMD Phenom x2 II 550 and 2x ATI 5750 work good on
10.6.8 64bits.

Now i go to Lion on my CPU working hopefull.

And how install?

I think that first 10.6.8 install Lion 10.7.3 to Another partition for 2 harddisk
than can i that back to 10.6.8 legacy kernel amd lion on 10.7.3 2 harddisk than work boot.

I go make and you hear later more my.

Don't use that installation distribution, we don't know what crap he has put on it, and it hasn't worked for anyone. I'd suggest you follow my guide, which can be located in the previous page.

@mike007this is my screen error...

you have to use

and i see its booting 64bit enabled
means you not using that flag

Anyone know if it will work/one comprehensive (or a little less comprehensive, I can think and work my around things ok given enough time and patience) tutorial? I have a retail 10.6.0 disk, and an image of 10.7.3 from my friends' thumbdrive (don't have access to the computer anymore so I can't really mod the iso and have to install from retail).

I just kinda reverted to noob status after being successful about.. 1 1/2 years ago? it worked on a different mobo with same gfx but that was the old 770 chip so dunno if 990 will work. also should I turn on VM cpu setting in BIOS? I disabled as i wasnt using it at the time and was overclocking.

VT-x/AMD-V in BIOS should be enabled.
You won't get full hardware acceleration working within a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox etc.). You can give it video graphics acceleration but it will not do anything since it just doesn't enable QE/CI. You will be able to get a simple installation running, with any of the guides listed already, but you won't be able to run programs like Final Cut Pro / XCODE *compiling*, Flash (Latest relies on hardware acceleration) and Quick Time. Depends what you want to do with the Virtual Machine really.

But as of now there is nothing you can do to enable QE/CI within a VM, and you could never do that in Snow Leopard either, I don't know why you mentioned that. VirtualBox was working on some guest package, but it's been a long time and I don't think that'll ever really make it work completely.

The same guides applies to VM, you'll need the same kernel and installation method. You'll need a pre-existing Snow Leopard copy and then just attach another dynamic disk and install Lion onto there. (Follow Guides), then change the vdi so you'll load the Lion disk and it'll just work like normal.

Did I mention QE/CI? I don't remember/ really know what that is ha.

Anyways, I mostly just like using OS X for everything except gaming... And it's gonna be a LONG time before I can get a real mac. So I figured I'd see if there was some headway made in the Lion frontier for AMD machines.

And I made an error, I have the original 10.6. Is there any specific guide that works better than others? I have viewed a lot and most mention some aspect that seems to not apply to me, just subtle nuances and none of them really seem to fit my current situation with this.. at least none I've found but I can't find many that involve retail OSX 10.6 guest to AMD Virtualbox Windows 7 Host. And searching hasn't turned up anything for me.

QE/CI is basically a fancy OS X term for hardware acceleration.

The best way is to use method 3 here:

ok guys, i'm say from lion, with finder work etc, but for anyone dont work funtion copy/paste? if i copy any file and paste it, dont work, remaining ever with Zero Kb of xxMb. this is a bug of finder?

@akimoahave u tryed anvs bin/ amd_insn_patcher ? in the very beginning he made one for his first legacy lion kernel build… have a go with it and see if it helps ya here it is cl .ly/103z1q3D2C3d2R012K0R

Does not work. Already tried. and also tested with nawcom

It's time to give a try to install OSX Lion on my old AMD PC ... :->

@rymanIs there any way to install Mountain Lion?

The answer is…No.

@UnrealizedThe answer is…No.

and apple will not release the kernel code (like they did wth lion)?

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

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

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

@felipeunixNo news about the applications freezing? I did not want to go back to ubuntu ...

Exactly... Devs please please please try to fix it (Y)

Booting -force 64 seems let all apps works , except for finder(pag40)in some cases

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

i've used the first version of the kernel

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

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 compiled two new kernels...... 32 + 64-bit

I used the diff from the original creator and some of anv's source diffs, the 64-bit kernel gives the acpi kernel panic here, but anyone wanting to test both, please try, and let me know if xpchelper and stuff is any better at all, or if it works better, I took all day, I hope this works :')
please let me know anything different, if it works faster, or anything, I can't really test, I'd love to see other's results
I also attempted to fix some RTC issues, and the AMD stuff, the L2 cache seems to be working (detection), but please test
media fire.com/download.php?ca8xkkj2xd32y93

@felipeunixTesting .. then allowed results!

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

Results that got here:

x64

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

x86

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

So far no application froze!

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

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

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

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

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

but it is taking longer for that to happen ..

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

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

Error:

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

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

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

Can anyone help me?

I could not sleep so I went back to test LOL

match_kernel_32

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

even after a long time ..

The programs are still crashing after some time?

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

The solution (odd) was to download the bootcd: osx 86.net/view/1805-bootcd_for_lion.html

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

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

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

i don't know if it is a good thing but..with this new kernl xbench execute thread test that with the previous kernel didn't work

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

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

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

@aaqib7Its much more stable than the previous kernel but after 10minutes or so its just the 64 bit applications wont load - everything else works fine.(All the 32bits). Itunes, Facetime etc - are 64bit so they stop working.

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

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

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

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

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

@rayman:

only replaces the kexts: "IOUSBFamily" "IOUSBMassStorageClass"

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

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

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

justinster123:

X64 is working great!

Just do not open the x86 apps, but I think we can live without them

I have the same audio card 'alc662' but i havent configured it yet for Lion.
You could try this: osx 86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=1629 - because I think it supports 'alc662' for lion.

@felipeunixjustinster123: X64 is working great! Just do not open the x86 apps, but I think we can live without them

Can i ask, how did you boot into 64 bit mode? What commands did you enter? because its not working for me even though my CPU is 64bit enabled. Thanks

@aaqib7Can i ask, how did you boot into 64 bit mode? What commands did you enter? because its not working for me even though my CPU is 64bit enabled. Thanks

maybe I expressed myself poorly.

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

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

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

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

would you mind to let us know your specs / cpu?

@aaqib7 (osx 86.co/member.php?u=90042712)
felipeunix (osx 86.co/member.php?u=90042593) is running the osx on his AMD Bulldozer FX 8120 which supports the SSSE3 instructions
that's why he can run the 64-bits apps

@felipeunix (osx 86.co/member.php?u=90042593)
AFAIK (CMIIW) the -force64 has not been implemented in the legacy kernel yet
and since you have the FX series AMD, by default you're running the osx in the 64-bits mode (with / without arch=x86_64)

@ryman (osx 86.co/member.php?u=90042555)
I got same issues here
After several minutes, the annoying xpchelper crashes are still occurring, then most of apps refuse to run :'(

@justinster123 (osx 86.co/member.php?u=36986)

...already thought that...

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

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

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

I can not try this myself yet - the Kernel made by Justin needs some little fix (osx 86.co/f36/amd-fx-4100-cant-boot-into-any-version-t7646/)applied to work on the two-module-bulldozers / doesn't work for me yet...

Can anybody boot with a Phenom CPU can woot with the 64bit kernel or is it just for Bulldozer?

@aaqib7I have the same audio card 'alc662' but i havent configured it yet for Lion. You could try this: osx 86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=1629 - because I think it supports 'alc662' for lion.

I'm home from school,

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

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

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

only fix I applied should be for pure 64-bit panic on some bulldozer, I'll look later,

Here's my results:

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

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

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

some more tests and was able to prove the following:

with the original finder:

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

with patch finder:

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

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

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

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

@justinster123@All try this one specifically I applied the patch for R:A:W:X86

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

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

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

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

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

I'm starting here with:

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

But I can live well only with them.

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

Does anyone know how to solve this?

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

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

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

I will test IE.

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

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

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

I will post information if I see it. On the other hand got Lion running on my build and just got Mountain Lion running welcome setup, but then had to go to work. For $70 good investment to get a cheap working build.

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

But,

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

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

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

Exactly. This is why I sold my PC and went for Intel road.

@justinster123umm because the diff I get is too large and text editors would crash, I'll post it later sheesh, I'm busy, and I just attempted to apply ALL previous patches

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

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

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

so there is two routes.

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

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

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

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

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

no patch files. which take 3 seconds diff A X

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

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

Seriously, now pick up your dummy.

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

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

I got myself a 1155 socket MB (P8H61-L ME/USB3) for 60 dollars, real cheap. Supports Ivy bridge too. Running Mountain Lion D3 on it right now.

I think the Nawcom will only work with the Mountain Lion.

Perhaps we should stick with the Snow Leopard for a long time ..

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

Any news about that?

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

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

@rymanAny news about that?

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

cool good thing hes got the applications working - and hope he figures out the problem.

He's currently working on the CPUID, and he's trying to use Xcode to decrypt the transcript or some sort. More information as he writes, it sounds like progress is being made, so it should be soon (:

guys any1 help me installing mac lion osx on my AMD Phenom x4 925...Mother Board-Gigabyte…Have any1 tried the Niresh's Distro...i tried but dnt boot with any of the Command…changed the Kernel in the Boot CD with the amd lion v4 and v5 files nothing happened...tied installing Iatkos new version and old version on...om 10.6.7 and also on 10.6.8...the Iatkos installation failed...plz guys any1 help me...

The sad thing is when you are ready to know that the kernel of the lion, the moutain lion will be released :'(

Hi to all , i've tested lion on amd turion rm-74 64bit and it work … Hemmm work but whitout Finder it don't work …

I've tested it on a USB hd

Edit : i've installed it from iatkos l2 whit mach kernel v5

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

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

That's why i think that i need intel...:'(

Too sad for photoshop T_T

10.7.4 / AMD anybody?

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

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

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

xpchelper fixed

I seem to have permanently fixed the applications not opening problem

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

Doesn't help Apps still crash after 5 minutes.
OS X version 10.7.2.
I had removed ReportCrash before is that necessary for this tweak to work ?

damn 45 minutes of app use with this trick

1) show all files

2) (open with text wrangler or whatever works)

root/.fseventsd/fseventsd-uuid

3) then go to utilities/system profiler.app

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

save fseventsd-uuid

reboot

i was very bored noticed they were different. hope this works.

@delgadilloalex1) show all files 2) (open with text wrangler or whatever works) root/.fseventsd/fseventsd-uuid 3) then go to utilities/system profiler.app copy hardware UUID and replace it with the one in fseventsd-uuid save fseventsd-uuid reboot i was very bored noticed they were different. hope this works.

The UUID always change back to the old one after reboot ;-(

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

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

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

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

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

@Fraomcan anyone send me a finder.app from dp2 ? tanks

What's your email address? I can send it to you.

***EDIT*** Nevermind, I'll just upload it to Mediafire. I know I had a lot of trouble finding a download link for it myself, although there are a few out there. Give me a few and I'll post a new link.

@bronzovkaI speak to all you - maybe i end work on mach_kernel !

no! please keep going

Please keep going, bronzkova.

I confirm your kernel working on my system.
AMD X4 955 / ASUS M4A78T-E / HD5770. booted without problem, didn't test long enough for xphelper to crash.
As expected, icloud doesn't work. :'(
That is only reason why I want to use Lion…iCloud!

@tejaswi.rohitDoesn't help Apps still crash after 5 minutes. OS X version 10.7.2. I had removed ReportCrash before is that necessary for this tweak to work ?

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

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

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

...gonna try this out as soon as I get a chance. I'm booted into Snow Leopard at the moment. I tried that little trick last night and my system continued to crash, so I must not have done it correctly. Thanks for the tip.. Will post results in a bit.

Ok all of a sudden it seems to work A few reboots magically fixed the problem.
I'm getting the same error messages as you in the console, so it must be working fine. Current Uptime : 15 minutes and everything is still working

Thanks for sharing this

i think he's!got it!

its working!

Hi!I can not perform the command chflags uchg com.apple.xpchelper.cache

When I run the command displays this message
chflags: com.apple.xpchelper.cache: No such file or directory
You could show you step by step!Thanks

@hanadrielHi!I can not perform the command chflags uchg com.apple.xpchelper.cache When I run the command displays this message chflags: com.apple.xpchelper.cache: No such file or directory You could show you step by step!Thanks

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

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

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