or better, 2 questions.
Last week I found out, that it is possible to install OSX on AMD systems, so i got a OSX AMD version but i´m not able to install
it... i have 2 versions, one always restarts immediately after the darwin prompt, [just at the beginning] and the other one always
makes an error: -->Debugger Called: Panic..Double Panic and so on, but i can se an Apple^^
Has anybody an idea, whats wrong with my system?
[AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+, ASUS Crosshair, 7900GT, 4gig Ram]
Second question is, can i get the zerophyte osx somewhere?
Thanks for your help!

search google for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 for AMD SSE2/SSE3 (32bits) to get zeph's image
oki, thx
but the other problem is just more terrible...i just don´t know, whats wrong
with my sys...and i don´t understand the restart everytime, you know?
i just checked a lot of things...maybe osx has a prob with a raid array? oder s-ata discs?
sata is a problem at install, raid maybe even more.
i successfuly installed on an external usb hdd, fixed drivers and moved the
install later to internal hdd (but not sata, though).
mhm, but i don´t have an external hdd
and don´t want to install on an IDE drive..to slow..
has anybody tried or even managed to install on an
sata disc, or is there no possibility?
Did you try with flags, like
-x (Safe Mode)
-f (Fore Mode)
-v (Diagnostic Messages)
cpus=1 (sometimes works - no idea what it is )
Try it.
@Pupp3tm4st3rmhm, but i don´t have an external hdd and don´t want to install on an IDE drive..to slow.. has anybody tried or even managed to install on an sata disc, or is there no possibility?
Naw, it's EASY! Just build a custom installation DVD with the right .kext files to support your Southbridge Chipset!
That would be SO much easier!
yeah, I already tried tose flags, but they didn´t cause anything...it just won´t work..
@cgsheen
yeah, but how do I do this? I´m not really a noob with those things, but thats kinda hard for me..
i think...i already read a thread about building my own installation DVD..but therefore I needed
2 images..one of tiger and one of leopard...and I just didn´t understand what they wanted from me..
sorry...
@zuz242sata is a problem at install, raid maybe even more. i successfuly installed on an external usb hdd, fixed drivers and moved the install later to internal hdd (but not sata, though).
Hey I have a question for I have sucessfully installed leopard on my external usb hdd but when i try to boot from it I get the blinking cursor/ How did you get yours to work on your usb hdd before you moved it? Did you use MBR or Guid? Thanks a alot.
check the wiki page http://osx86.wikidot.com ↗ > know issues> mac partition bootable
so, now i have zeph´s image...
I tried to install on my PC [AMD machine..] but it always restarts, just after the first prompt...I have no idea what to do, I
think, it just won´t work with my system...I also tried to install on our laptop..and wow, I was ready to install..okay,
the laptop has a Intel DualCore 2120 or something like this...but..yeah, its okay I can live without MacOSX on my AMD PC
But, thanks for your help guys!
It definately doesn't work on EVERY AMD machine... But, some of us get lucky.
