Hello all!

From information from various forums, I have managed to get Mac OS X 10.7.4 running well enough to be posting this from it. Below are my specs.

ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3
AMD Athlon II x4 640
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670
12GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
Assorted SATA HDDs in AHCI mode
Penta-boot configuration: ArchLinux, Windows Vista, Windows 7, OS X 10.6.8, and OS X 10.7.4

Issues:

My graphics card (see above). It was a real bitch to get working in Snow Leopard and is not proving any easier in Lion. It also allows a 1400x1050 framebuffer, (or whatever it's called in OS X) so I can live with that until I get Quartz Extreme working.

I can only mount one DMG per boot. The first mounts and ejects perfectly, but if I try it a second time, DiskImageMounter just sits there with 4KBs of RAM used and does nothing.

Flash Player installer won't start. Again it just sits there using 4KBs of RAM.

Keyboard repeat doesn't work properly; I can hit a key faster than it will repeat on its own. Yes, I do have repeat rate set to max in System Preferences.

There are certainly others but none glaring enough to come to me at the moment.


Questions:

Nawcom, when are you making a Lion kernel? (JK)

I get the idea that xpchelper is causing a lot of issues but don't quite know what the issue is. I "mv /System/Library/CoreServices/ReportCrash /System/Library/CoreServices/ReportCrash.bak"ed because ReportCrash was eating my CPU, but xpchelper hasn't crashed yet to my knowledge.

What's all this?
Alright, so here's what I did in a nutshell:

1. Install OSInstall.mpkg from iATKOS L2 to a spare HDD. (USB in my case for convenience, makes no difference)
2. Copy this to / of your new installation. I can't remember if that works with 10.7.2, or if you have to use v4 from here.
3. Backup and replace Finder.app with this.
4. Reboot, and specify the following flags: mach_kernel_v6 -v arch=i386 -legacy npci=0x3000
5. Update to 10.7.4.
6. Remove ReportCrash.
7. Enjoy a mostly functional Lion install.

*** EDIT ***
It appears that iATKOS comes with FakeSMC V3.10, and V3.10 didn't work for me or felipeunix (see post 907), so replace it with V4.2 (or whatever the latest version is) from here.


Thanks to bronzovka and all the other people who've written this ~90 page goldmine of info!

I've created an app to enable or disable all xpchelper caches so we don't have to go through that multiple step terminal guide I came up with ;)

Here it is.

To fix that error just replace System.kext with this one from 10.7.3.

I'll try that. What will it do that I'll notice, if anything?


Where might I find the guide?



Also, my uptime is just getting to the three hour mark, and I haven't noticed any degradation so far. Apps that work will still open, etc. I'm about to reboot to install that System.kext.


[ Edit Begin ]
I installed that System.kext, (backed up first) and now those messages about _buf_attr are gone, but it says this:
[ Edit End ]

Here with 10.7.3 + Kernel v6 = Not working!

always on the same line ..

"DSMOS has arrived"

I tried many combinations of flags, but without success.:mad:

CPU: FX-8120

anyone have any ideas?

I had to replace FakeSMC.kext with the latest one from here.

thank u ;)

can u help me with those stuff in console,,

http://s15.postimage.org/k9d3x10zv/S...0_20_07_PM.png

and now this appears

http://s14.postimage.org/x13huif7l/S...9_16_59_AM.png

coz some apps wont start after that appears,,

another problem here..

after few minutes xpchelper will crash. all apps launch fine with cache permission fix, copy paste works fine too with deleting zz folder.

but is it just me or can anyone confirm that log out is not working?
and here safari works but i can't change to any page. it's just spinninng forever..

deleting the zz folder since then caused me ALL KINDS OF ISSUES
youtube videos not working, sandboxd errors, cannot watch any kind of thing that stores caches, so many things I cannot fix now :/ Afgjyhusdkjfnl
I'm mad...
plus iTunes doesn't sync iPods, .....
that's been an issue through the beginning for me..

still keeps stopping at ... "DSMOS has arrived"

possibly this kernel v6 not be compatible with amd fx? :'(

Here's my working zz folder for those of you who mistakenly deleted yours. My program that I wrote with applescript will search for, find, and give you the choice of doing "chflags uchg" (disabling) or "chflags nouchg" (enabling) ALL xpchelper cache files, which will fix the problem with copy and paste, crashing applications, etc without creating other various problems associated with deleting the zz folder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you do not want to use this program and chose to use the terminal then do this script to disable the cache:

... or this one to enable it:

i had same like u , but suddnly DSMOS has arrived issue gone ,,

when i got DSMOS has arrived i waited for so much , then lion boot,, but now boots fast ,

try this :
-legacy -v pmVersion=0 PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x3000 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

the problem is not there. Despite replacing the kext, the messages remain the same.

...are you booting with -legacy ?

hello ,

Yes ,

également , avec toutes sortes de flags .

-legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000

In summary, I restart my 10.7.4 Update on my Untel with a vanilla kernel 11.4.0, I added the kernel of R:A:W: X86 by renaming it "custom" and then with the flag custom -legacy GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 -v (EAH 5870)

Nikel!

It really was so incia expect it, but as it took so long I thought I caught.

but it starts crashing too, I can not even restart, hangs very much.

But with the compilation of R:A:W:X86 system starts super fast!
but only in 64bit.
In 32bit system loads normally, but when you open the graphical environment, is a white screen with the cursor spinning the ball and not open the table.

Thanks , but i rewrite or copy this folder When i've a problem?. Or it solved all problem ??( When i copy a file to desktop, it don't Go , remain whit the bar in loading and don't copy file/folder/etc...)

So here's one I just noticed.

First, the success story:

I've been working on getting 10.7.4 set up and stable because I built a Hack Pro for my wife for school. I was working with the drive that it's installed on inside of my Hack Pro (identical hardware) while getting everything set up, before migrating the drive into the other tower.

Long story short, I was very happy with the results. She's been using the computer for a few days now with no problems whatsoever. She mainly uses iWork and Evernote for school, so nothing too hardcore, but the system is working perfectly. It's an identical build to the one in my sig, with the exception being that it's running a GTX 550ti. Mission accomplished, basically.

Okay, here's the weird part:

Now that I'm all back up and running on my build with my 10.6.7 drive, everything is back to normal. Except (of course there's an exception) for the fact that my system profiler is no longer detecting my CPU type and speed properly?! It's showing a 4.6GHz 6 Core Intel Xeon processor, when it ALWAYS showed the proper AMD PII before installing Lion on a separate drive. Even stranger, it's showing the same thing it was showing under Lion when I had that drive installed on this computer. And I can't get it to change back, even with OSX86Tools (I know, ancient, but it worked for me before).

So here's the question:

What the hell happened?! :-/ How did installing Lion on a completely different drive screw up my Snow Leopard drive from auto-detecting CPU type and speed? And more importantly, HOW CAN I FIX IT???

***EDIT*** I updated the boot loader on the SL drive... Could that be it?

great kernel on 10.7.4 works great on my phenom 9650 x4 better proformance than snow leo. anv kernel ( no Offence anv)

just wondering dont know how much trouble it is but.........

do you think you can make a 10.6.8 kernel for us (me) anv kernel doesent sync tsc when booting on your lion kernel it syncs and is very smooth.
and i still love snow and do alot of work on it (Cubase) and are held back by plug ins not compatible with lion, would love to see if you can bring those skills back to snow

?

Hey I always get a KP while shutting down, because of the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

Is there anysolution for this problem?

Delete it ....……

As Fraom said, delete it. Or use NullCPUPowerManagement.

Oh haha thanks. So once I use the mpkg I can install lion?

No need for that kext, the Kernel has the black lister, that does the exact same job. So I don't think this will have any affect...

How bout anyone having shutdown issues where it just closes everything and starts to shut down and then it logs back in and does nothing?

There is your answer. Updated bootloader. I don't know when it started, but after certain version of chameleon, any cpu with 4 cores or more will show as Xeon.

Lame lol I downgraded and it's back reading fine. Thanks.

Anyone got any ideas about this?

your install went bad.
sorry to say reinstall is the solution for you.

NVidia GeForce GT 520
 

Hey Everyone!

I finally got 10.7.2 installed on my AMD machine using iAtkos!

I ran out to get a new graphics card (NVidia GeForce GT 520) so that I could change my resolution and have apps like Preview and iMovie work however, it's not recognized.

Some people have said that theirs is recognized out of the box but for me, I can't even change my resolution. I can't find any kexts that would enable this card to work either.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

yep !


http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25858.

So I forced it to boot with a resolution of 1920x1080 and it worked...kinda. Now, I have borders around my "screen". It is at the correct resolution but the screen has borders around it.

Any ideas?

try flags at boot

GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v

(case sensitive)

thats it :)

That's what I do already though. The screen is still "shrunk". The resolution is fine but the screen doesn't take up the full monitor.

Wow... I have a lot to catch on.... But just to share, I was out of the hack os x and when I came back and started logging in to the hack os x sites I noticed I was banned from a certain site, for no reason, not sure why either (but u mentioned the site)...... Anyways, that out of the way and long story short, I sold my i3 and upgraded my old AMD machine from Athlon64 X2 6000+ to Phenom II X4 940 (so I could compile XCode faster, and YES, it is much faster!!!) so I decided to check if Lion + AMD was a go and apparently is! I would like to try this out, but I have a ***LOT*** of catching up. Maybe if someone would answer a few questions so I don't have to read 50+ pages...

http://osx86.co/attachment.php?attac...1&d=1338046207

My CPU (per CPU-X on 10.6.8) is Family 16 Model 4 (I will boot into Windows 7 and run CPU-Z in a few to confirm it is correct. Has the kernel been fixed to support this CPU? Also I have the Lion 10.7.4 Combo Update from Apple, can I install this from 10.6.8?


Thanks!

EDIT: I confirmed the Model is correct. Family is F

Anybody knows how to use kernel cache with AMD? It takes a while for my system to load every kext each time i boot... and i believe niresh did it with his boot flag ("Kernel Cache"=\amd)

Does Photoshop CS6 and Premiere CS5 works with the FX? I saw in previous posts that it doesn't with phenoms.

Have you tried VoodooTSCSyncAMD?

That means Yes, it will work or No, it will NOT work?

If it works, and in 32 bit application on crash with Leo 10.7 and works fine on 10.6.8 SL with 64 bit kernel Nawcom's legacy.

Pls, someone answer me =/

For my part, when I was working CS5 with 10.6.8 with my SL x4 955.

thanks and yes i use it

After Upgrading from Kernel v4 to v6 I can not boot up. My Graphicscard (560TI)stops working (KP). Any help?

I read about 75% of the pages on this thread and I have yet to come across any sort of guide on how to install Lion. Here are some specs that might be pertinent in getting me updated to Lion

AMD Phenom X4 64
Model: 2
Family: 16
ATI Radeon HD 4650 (was a pain to get this working in 10.6.8..guessing lion won't be better)
I use apple's usb to ethernet adapter for internet (Realtek 8185L wifi and Yukon 88e8071 are installed but couldn't find a fix to get them working)
4GB DDR2 Ram (have 4 more Gigs I'd like to use if anyone knows a fix for this in lion or even snow leopard)


I have no access to the app store in snow leopard (I've tried every fix possible with no luck..if you have new ideas here i'm listening :D ) so I can't get the update to lion that way. I don't have an Intel PC to work off of so that route is out. Wasn't sure if I would be able to download a retail copy of lion along with some combo updates and get the install working that way? Also I am not sure how I would go about applying the kernel (once I know which one I need to download). I used nawcoms ModCD to get my snow leopard install working (if that helps at all). Thanks!!
