I can install snow leopard 10.6.0 or 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 (all retail) using ModUSB on my system and even get it running updated to 10.6.7/10.6.8 following a nice guide I found. But I don't even know where to start with Lion, and I NEED to get to Lion because it now supports my 6950 card.

I listed my specs earlier but here they are again:

Mobo: Asus Crosshair V Formula (AMD 990)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
GFX: AMD Radeon HD 6950 (w/unlocked shaders but can be bios switched to stock)
Mem: 16gb G.Skill 4x4 1600 9-9-9-24
Sound: Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium
PSU: Raidmax 850w continuous (though I guess this isn't that relative :P)
Other: 4 HDDs and 1 SSD (SSD is windows install, 3 HDDs are extra storage, 1 HDD is MAC, all are GPT and will show up properly) I also have a 75-1 usb card reader but I usually unplug it when installing Mac. And a simple Asus CD drive that seems to function properly.

Anyways yeah.. I'm pretty lost but I REALLY want to get a "Mac Pro" system running! :D
You need to have SL installed on one drive or partition, and then install Lion on a seperate one so you can replace the kernel and any kexts manually, since there aren't any distros that are bootable on AMD hardware yet.

Ok that's a start. But how do I actually install to another partition? Do I want to boot into Snow Leopard and run an installer? Also what files am I supposed to replace and where to get said replacements? I have a Lion retail image btw.

All I can tell you is what I did. I have 10.6.7 installed on a 160GB HDD. I downloaded iAtkos L2 and put that on a thumb drive. I formatted a second 500GB HDD. Then you Show All Files and browse to /System/Installations/Packages on the thumb drive (I assume it'll be the same on your retail copy) and open the OSInstall.mpkg and choose your second drive or partition to install. After it's done, you need to replace mach_kernel at the root of the new drive with the new one for AMDs, and you also need to use the DP2 32bit Finder.app I posted a few pages back because the kernel can't handle 64bit yet. You replace the one in your /System/Library/Coreservices folder on the new install. Then reboot and continue to set up your graphics and whatnot.

Don't know how this will apply to your situation but hopefully this helps.

I'm using original first mach_kernel 10.7.3 bronzovka
So I really have no idea what did it. I'm on my fourth reboot now and everything is still working fine. I know I got rid of HDAEnabler, AppleHDA & the ALC8xx kexts in S/L/E, and I installed the custom IOUSBFamily.kext I've been using in SL that enables sleep on my board, and somehow something did the trick. All working, got AppStore working, sleep and the whole nine. Just waiting for 64bit for FCPX and iCloud :)

***QUESTION*** How would I go about updating to 10.7.3 from here? Both times I've tried to update, I end up bombing the whole system. It won't even load the boot volume after. I've tried through Software Update and I've tried through Combo Update. I would like to get Messages working now, any suggestions? And has anyone found anything out about iCloud?

Guys...I was installing next using next utility and...
Repair Permissions for "/System/Library/Extensions/VoodooTSCSyncAMD.kext" ... Done.
-- Total processed: 8 files (1 kexts) for 0 sec.

Updating system caches MAC OS X "Lion"...........
will that update of caches repair the xpchelper one?

And...when i try to update from 10.7.2 throught software update... It shows that my system is up to date...is there a fix?

I have similar issue, installed 10.7.2 and booted fine, seems to work. Wanted to get imessage, so updated to 10.7.3 using comboupdate, change kernel, then won't boot.:mad:
tried with bunch of kernel flags then somehow booted with -x -v ncpi=0x3000 arch=i386, then rebooted with -v npci=0x3000 arch=i386, then boots. now some USB not working because I used Tonyman multibeast for lion after updating to 10.7.3 and used USB rollback. Would you mind telling me which custom IOUSBfamily you used? I would like to try that.

I am try something to see if I can get iCloud to work.....will post later if succeed.

Well then you're in better shape than I am at this point LOL I have yet to even be able to boot after updating. I'm uploading the IOUSBFamily.kext that I'm using now, keep in mind that what works for me might not work for you so use it at your own risk lol

***EDIT*** Here ya go: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5n8bb1moaj0b4bn

I think before I try to update again I'm gonna make a Carbon Copy Cloner full bootable backup in case I screw something up. That way I can pick up where I left off instead of trying to find the right combination of kexts and bootflags all over again lol ;)

I've installed kexts and rebuilt caches several times since the xpchelper fix and it has not restored permissions yet. But, worst case scenario you just have to repeat the terminal commands and all will be well again.

Don't know about the Software Update problem... :-/

iCloud/iMessage will not work on AMD systems, due to the kernel being self-compiled. The only way to get it working is using the vanilla mach_kernel, and you can't do that unless you're running an Intel system. Appstore will work flawlessly though.

Even if you have en0 </true>, ethernet device-prop, ethernetbuiltin. I think it's an underlying issue with the UUID not being passed to iCloud and iMessage that's not actually giving your device the authentication it needs to connect to the server. But I've not investigated the issue, but I've read countless posts online. Once I switched to Intel build, it worked automatically.

Here's a topic about the issue: http://revogirl.wordpress.com/2012/0...n-in-problems/

anonomys209 05-13-2012 07:47 PM
Thanks for the info. I'm sure someone will figure out a workaround soon enough :)

davisin666 05-13-2012 08:26 PM
What if Apple's iCloud reads the uname -v output???

What I am trying to do is, edit UUID line of iMac with Lion runnning that I have.

I also notice Apple checks for the autheticity of Lion when setting up for the first time when wireless is connected and if your Apple ID has no record of purchasing Lion, it won't pass. At least that is what happened to me. So Apple is definitely doing something about Lion.dmg on torrents...I think.

Has anyone tried to use the new Photo Booth yet? I have a Logitech HD Webcam that I've been using for Facetime and Photo Booth on SL with no problem. Still works on Lion, but the new Photo Booth effects don't seem to be working... does anyone know if this is related to the camera hardware? Or is this something that can be fixed? Thanks.

Apparently the new Photo Booth effects only work in 64 bits. Same problem here, so I don't think it's camera related.

Actually just figured that out, thanks tho bro.

MotionFX on the AppStore is actually really cool and it still utilizes the facial recognition and everything too if u wanna check out the new capabilities ;)

PS: I'm in love with fullscreen app switching, I don't know about the rest of you LOL :D

jeaton2012 05-14-2012 12:24 AM
Thanks for the tip! And is anyone here having trouble exiting full screen apps? Like sometimes it will make the whole system freeze when exiting them. :/ It also happens sometimes when I delete a desktop space from dashboard.

Now there's ONE issue that I have NOT had LOL I thought I had just about all of 'em too...

Do you mean exiting fullscreen mode? Or exiting the app while IN fullscreen mode?

He means exiting fullscreen mode...happened to me as well but i think it happens just on non apple Apps cause for me it happend on angry birds but never in Safari

And BTW is there any ALC892 kext??? Cause VooDooHDA makes my audio fuzzy,AppleHDA is 64bit and HDAenablers doesnt work

xmaniak100 05-14-2012 04:45 AM
Good news
 
Update
Many people seem to have problems with iCloud – I know this thanks to the Google search statistics. Searches for setup and login issues are climbing steadily. Maybe it is time for me to start digging. A little deeper this time. Maybe. Maybe after I completed FileGuard. Ehm. We need Beta testers so… feel free to join us. That help me to finish it quicker. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth


Looks like apple will HAVE TO change it... Maybe next update will be good... And what about iDevices? Mine for example is running with self compiled kernel... And iCloud works... What if they would fetch something from it and replace it with the one here? I know its crazy idea but i saw that it is almost identical... And i mean they could fetch just the check and f.e. Emulate iOS

Yea maybe they do but you know... What if i buy a mac mini with lion and i somehow screw it before logging in? That would not make sense then


And BTW sry for 3 posts in a row... I didnt notice that

Who cares? If you can figure out iCloud to work on AMD, you can post 5 pages. I'd read'em. :p
BTW, I still have not been able to test replacing with legit UUID. What do you know? My graphics card went out. It won't boot when standing. only boots laid down. time for RMA.

Got to hold off testing lion. dang......

Actually was just able to recreate that error. I was recording in Logic Pro in fullscreen, finished my session and quit from fullscreen, and it basically quit the program & logged me out and back into the desktop. It was strange. Everything is still running smoothly though, I guess I just haven't shut a program down while it was in fullscreen yet LOL

As for audio, I haven't been able to get my onboard ALC887 working yet, but luckily I'm a recording engineer and I use a Tascam audio unit that has a sound card built in. I use official drivers for it and they work just fine. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

So after you updated from 10.7.2 you had to boot into Safe Mode and then you were able to reboot and it booted normally? With a few flags? Did you have to use them before?

yes. when I added -x on -legacy -v npci=0x3000 then it booted. then I used Multibeast then used -v -f npci=0x3000 UseKernelCache=No, then booted but some USB didn't work and my airport (I have Atheros card) didn't work. kernel log showed something about PCI couldn't load. then I replaced your USB kext, my PCI kext from SL, now kernel panic on AppleACPI. :(

like I said, my HD5770 is also having a problem, I'm gonna have to hold off testing as I am send the card out today for RMA. my on board video can't have QE/CI. so just going to use windows for now.
once the card is back, I'm gonna start from scratch again.

jeaton2012 05-14-2012 06:43 PM
I was able to update to 10.7.4 pretty flawlessly. The only weird thing is that when I boot, it gives me a bunch of ?kxld? error notifications. It doesn't seem to affect anything, though. Lion works just the same as it did in 10.7.3. I updated by using the apple 10.7.4 combo update, and then replacing the mach_kernel and something like AppleFileSystemDriver.kext from 10.7.3? I'm at school right now but I'll check it to see what I did when I get home.

ryman 05-14-2012 07:04 PM
Is there a new kernel for 10.7.4?

m28ew 05-14-2012 07:38 PM
easily updated to LION 10.7.4
I just need to replace (rollback) the AppleSMC.kext with the old one from 10.7.3

http://s18.postimage.org/6v0wab8uh/amd_1074_01.gif




but I found these kinds of errors during booting in verbose mode:

In interface com.apple.kpi.private of __kernel__, couldn't find symbol _buf_attr

anonomys209 05-14-2012 08:37 PM
Maybe it has something to do with updating from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 directly. I'm gonna download the 10.7.3 combo update and start there, cuz I've now bombed my install 3 times. Thank GOD for Carbon Copy Cloner (if you don't have it you should get it, it's free).

Has anyone updated from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 yet?

Giving that a shot right now. Cuz that's the kext that's not loading right before it gets stuck at STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE. Also, I see those errors in my verbose boot too but if they aren't affecting anything from working properly after boot I don't really care about that lol

Gonna try combo update AGAIN and replace just the AppleFileSystemDriver.kext and go from there. Thanks for all your help bro.

Reinstall AppleATIATA.kext too. If you get the waiting for root device, that's the kext that isn't loading properly.

anonomys209 05-14-2012 09:29 PM
I don't believe I have that kext installed even on 10.7.2, maybe that's my problem? I just rolled back the AppleFileSystemDriver.kext, mach_kernel & Finder.app, rebooted and I'm stuck at the same point.

Maybe I should install that kext?

I did 10.7.3 > 10.7.4 via Delta Update pkg.

I would guess it just depends on some part of the caches beeing rebuild, wether your system will boot or not.

Most likely using xnu-1699.26.8 will do the trick, but we will have to wait until Apple releases the source code, so we can recompile & try...

Ok this is getting weird lol using that kext I'm gonna have to change SATA config in bios?? Every Hackintosh install I've ever had required me to turn on AHCI. So this is gonna be interesting lol and it will probably not let me boot into my SL without changing BIOS settings lol grrrrr

R:A:W:X86 05-14-2012 10:08 PM
Well there are (have been) mainboards using the IDE interface for accessing devices and / or mainboards with chipsets that do not support AHCI.^^
Those controller that are not supported natively by OS X (AMD/ATI, SiS, VIA, nForce etc) of course need some extra kext driver. ;)

When in AHCI mode your ATA controller has a different device ID then in IDE mode & that kext would not even getting loaded.

...forgot to mention; that kext should work for Snow Leopard as well...

jeaton2012 05-14-2012 10:16 PM
Yeah, haha, I didn't know that. I guess I'm one of the people with no AHCI SATA support then. It makes sense considering my computer is six years old. ^_^

anonomys209 05-14-2012 10:17 PM
Ok man. Gonna give this another shot before I restore again from my 10.7.2 backup and try to just update to 10.7.3, since all I really want is Messages. Will post results.

Thanks again guys, this thread has been really helpful.

jeaton2012 05-15-2012 12:41 AM
Okay I got it. I messed up my 10.7.4 install, so instead of restoring from my CarbonCopyCloner backup (yes, it is great:D) I decided to start fresh from iAtkos L2. The kext that you need to back up and replace is IOStorageFamily.kext. But anyways, I was able to successfully update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 so it's not impossible, just be sure to back up and replace that kext.

Here's the kext btw: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79094064/IOS...amily.kext.zip

anonomys209 05-15-2012 01:23 AM
I'm in! Had to install that IOStorageFamily.kext and then I had to boot up with safe mode (it said the drive was repaired during fsck in verbose boot) and now it's booting fine! Have to roll back my graphics driver to the custom kext for Radeon HD 5750 and that's it.

The kext that you need to back up and replace is IOStorageFamily.kext. But anyways, I was able to successfully update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 so it's not impossible, just be sure to back up and replace that kext.

Here's the kext btw: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79094064/IOS...amily.kext.zip
Hey bro are you using iMessage on 10.7.4?

Yeah, I get the same error as you :/ Facetime, Messages, iCloud, they're all dependent on whether you have a vanilla kernel or not, unfortunately... hopefully someone can find a workaround sometime soon.

Damn. Now I'm bummed lol

I was using Facetime and MobileMe and whatnot on SL using a legacy_kernel, so hopefully someone figures this out too :( :(

Oh well. For the time being, I'm content with what we've been given LOL

Thanks again to the bronzovka for the kernel ( although he hasn't said much since he said he was gonna stop working on the kernel :( ) and jeaton2012 thank you buddy for everything. Your troubleshooting has helped me out big time.

I've explained why it doesn't work, I don't see what you don't understand. You'll need someone who is good at configuring the kernel to authentic a correct UUID, and then maybe it'll work. Revogirl stated that the source they release isn't 100% the same source they compile and run at cupertino, so let's say it's a conspiracy.

Now there's a very risky method but if you install iMessage on intel hack or real mac and CCC the imessage.app and restore on the amd hack, then that might be a workaround but I've not tested or tried this.
