Do you guys think I need a different Kernel for my Mach Kernel? Sometimes command -legacy busratio=17 UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=0 Graphics Enabler=Yes does not work! I'm using Mach Kernel v4 with a Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz and gigabyte gtx 570 card with 4 gigs of ddr3 ram. Motherboard is Asus M4A79XTD EVO. That or maybe I need a different command. My Hackintosh Lion acts very strange. I have to shut my computer down like 3 times before the command finally works, why the heck would that be?

Godofwar, If you're still using Bronzovka's kernel, you should definitely replace it with R:A:W:X86's kernel from the first post on this page.

Also, you can put all those kernel flags in the <Kernel Flags> section of /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

I'm on 10.7.2, I do not want to update because I fear that my hackintosh won't work at all and I'm sick of reinstalling Snow Leopard and setting Lion up all over again. I've done that hundreds of time already. Does R:A:W:X86's work with 10.7.2 or no?

Also, I accidently posted on this topic.


Oh yeah, can I replace that kernel while I'm on Hackintosh Lion Or do I have to replace it while I'm on my Windows 7 side? And if I have to do it on my Windows 7 side, what program to you recommend I use so I can read/write to my Mac side?

You can simply rename the RAWX86's kernel to, say, RAW, before putting it at the root of your Lion system. Doing that, you won't need to replace the older one (that's named mach_kernel) and will be able to use it if the things go wrong and RAWX86's kernel doesn't work with your current 10.7.2 installation.

If you do as i advised, just remember to boot using the name you gave to the kernel as a boot flag. If you call it RAW, just type RAW and, just for safety, npci=0x3000 and hit enter. If you want to boot with your older kernel, just doesn't type anything.

if i rename rawx custom kernel to like jhusly, in chameleon boot should i type "-jhusly" or just "jhusly". I have a 10.7.3 installation and tried updating to either 10.7.4 /10.7.5 this time I've gotten a little further than the previous which just restart after the chameleon load some kext. But either way I'm still stuck with "Still waiting for root device." I use RAWX custom kernel on both update and the mach_kernel which works on the 10.7.3. Anyway, I use MacDrive in windows to replace the kernel.

just "jhusly" (without the quotes, of course).

okay thanks! but how about the "Still waiting for root device", any idea? Tried booting with "npci=0x3000", single user, safemode, legacy but still im stuck on that part.

EDIT : nvm, i'm already able to boot after 10.7.4 update with RAWX custom kernel. Weird because im using bulldozer but instead of 64bit support only, mine is 32bit userland only. I'll try the fix and hope it will be fixed this time!

wohow! Couldn't get any happier than this! Finally after few months, already perfected my lion with 10.7.4 update and 32/64bit support!

thanks RAWX86 for the kernel and gils

Congrats!

Is there any reason I should update from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 or no reason and should I just be happy to run 10.7.3 as is? Is 10.7.4 too complicating? I just updated to 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 successfully today. I replaced the finder and machkernel than it worked. But than I had to install official Nvidia drivers which actually worked better than the Nvidia kexts I was using on 10.7.2.
