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

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