Trouble Booting SL 10.6.7 AMD
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb @3.6GHz
GPU: MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 HDD: 60GB WD Caviar Black PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W MOB: Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 MON: 23" 1080p Dell LCD 5ms I have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 installed but can only boot if I boot from my Nawcom DVD that I used to install SL using Retail Disk. I tried all combinations of boot commands possible including: -v -f -x -force64 busratio=17 cpus=1 maxmem=4096 arch=i386 and no matter what I do I always get something along the lines of: WARNING: ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin - getCPUIDInfo unknown CPU family: family... -- power management may be incomplete or unsupported... DSMOS has arrived ** Device in slot: SLOT--1 ** ** Device in slot: SLOT--1 ** then most of the time that's all I get and it's just stuck there. I have the latest BIOS update and I am using Darwin 10.7... the latest 10.6.7 kernel... and I tried to use the anVAL bootloader but I couldn't get it to work. I guess I just don't know how to do it.

Dude using a Darwin Kernel in AMD isnt very clever go for nawcoms Legacy Kernel
and be shure once u get in there with the mod cd u install a Bootloader wich detects the vervet framebuffer(kabyl) This one does correct for your card and solved your problems are AMD Phenom x4 955 3,2 GHZ Black Edition AMD Tutorial (German)Graka: ATI HD 5770 (Batmobil) 1 GB DDR5 (GIGABYTE) Lion 10.7 Kexts / Vervet Framebuffer Mem: 8 GIG RAM Kingston 4x2 OS: Snow Leopard Retail 10.6.8 Legacy Kernel V8 2 AnV cparm Boot Beta 3 Mobo: GA-MA-770 UD3 (GIGABYTE) Another AMD Tutorial (English) http://f.cl.ly/items/0M2n330k2r2j2L1q2a2g/logo.png |

Boot using your CD, then install legacy kernel and Chameleon.
Here is latest Chameleon build: http://www.kexts.com/view/1251-chame...-rc5-r851.html And here is legacy kernel for 10.6.7: http://www.kexts.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1062 I'm also using VoodooTSCSync for my AMD: http://osx86.co/f36/amd-dual-core-op...leopard-t6820/ and following kernel flags: arch=i386 -force64 cpus=6 busratio=16 "cpus" and "busratio" values for your CPU are 4 and 17. |

I found why it was happening.
GPU must be enabled. I reinstall Mac OS X 10.6.3 and enable my video card with efi string (nVidia 9800 GT) Then I update to 10.6.7 and instal legacy kernel. Now system boot normally.
