Everything works, except sleep, so system isn't Energy Star compilant .

I've been following this thread with great interest. I currently run SL quite happily on a Pentium D system. I'm really excited about the possibility of getting Lion to go on my old system. I have tried to install Lion from a USB key. With the real Lion kernel I just get a black screen after the kexts have loaded. With the kernel compiled by Wastez (in Post #65, length 15,400,176) I get the same black screen after loading kexts. With AnV's kernel (posted on I.M. length 19,678,036) the boot does go further but I get the same KP as reported by scififan68 in Post #92. I'm using Chameleon v2.0-RC5 r1083 on the USB key. One other note: when I try AnV's atom kernel (mach_kernel_dp4_atom_apic) the boot proceeds past the kext loading, but stops/hangs after the "BSD root:" line instead of KPing.

We're all rooting for you AnV!! Thanks for your efforts.

Hey Roseman,
Because I am experimenting too, I was curious if you have booted in -s single user mode, or -x safe mode with the ANV mach_kernel_dp4_atom_apic kernel? Have you gotten any further in the boot process? In the past I have disabled just about everything with regards to kexts and startup items and found I wasn't having a kernel problem but other system files weren't playing well with each other. I was able to use older files to at least get booted in safe mode. Just wondering about your troubleshooting efforts so I don't duplicate over here. -thx

Can someone split or rename this thread to "Lion on AMD"?

The only other thing I had tried was to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext from S/L/E and it made no visible difference. Just now I tried -s & -x in various combinations on the different kernels and found no changes in behavior. One funny little thing I did notice, though, is that when trying the atom kernel, after it stops/hangs following the "BSR root:" line there is still some process running that echos what I type on my (PS/2) keyboard to the screen.

I have not experienced this result. I don't know if this has any significance, but did you try to issue any commands while it was in the hang state?
ls
cd ..
while it echoed your keyboard output?

acermac3: You seem to have PM's disabled, my reply to your PM is below:

I'm not sure what/when you mean "before the kexts loaded". I get the keyboard echoed to the screen after Chameleon says it has loaded a particular kernel, then the names of lots of kexts scroll by, then the system changes (text mode) resolution and starts to initialize various things. I think I see the Firewire get setup, and the keyboard, and near the end of what is shown is a listing of my usb key as the boot device, then there is a line that says"BSD root: disk....." (I'm not at my test system right now, so I'm just going from memory). Then the system just sits there. If I type stuff it appears on screen, but I get no response or prompts. I don't see the disks run or anything. I did try entering some commands, but didn't see anything happen. Whatever is echoing the keystrokes though it does take my pressing 'Enter' as both a Carriage Return and a New Line. That is, if I type something and then hit enter, the next things I type will appear at the begining of the next line on the screen. When I get a chance tonight I will compare this behavior to what I get if I boot my SL installer into Single User mode (-s). Also, tonight I will let you know what is in my /extra directory.

Any progress with the new legacy kernel???

Good luck , Andy!

I tried both atom and non-atom kernel (on first post) on sse2 only cpu, but I get panic "invalid kernel ip"

while at a sse3 supported cpu, it boots fine

both laptops is USB booting, so I didn't change anything expect the kernel

Problem with dyld patcher where Outlook 2011 and Quicken Essentials both will not open. I tried to manually patch both with the amd instruction patch tool, but no luck. Then I tried going back to the 10.6.8 legacy kernel from nawcom, which doesn't have the corrected AMD FSB detection, and sure enough, it worked perfectly. Any ideas on how this can be fixed? I had to manually put FSB=200000000 like back in the 10.6.2 days when I added my FSB patcher to the old kernel. I haven't yet found the source to the nawcom kernel in order to try reversing my patch now that Chameleon has it.
