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.
|
Not until the sources for the kernel comes out, which will be after Lion is officially released.
|
well realy strange thing happend on the amd hackintosh i installed 10.7 for giggles it crashed ov cource but the weird thing is it correctly indentified my amd quad by model and name ... it locked up on probing pci bus
|
Can you tell me how you want to run 10.7 with a amd?
Because there is no kernel which allow to run a amd with lion!!! |
he doesnt have any different way then intel users i suppose.... he just tryed and failed
but why not try with andys atom kernel for DP2 but i wont spend the time on it unless the sources are in qualified hands ! |
try booting lion with the 10.6.8 kernel it should work i used stock vanilla 10.6.8 kernel for a while before i fixed my install on my in tell pc
|
Dogs Bollox ....just checked it again u wont boot Lion with legacy kernel from 10.6.8 as simple it is !
|
Sources are out http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-107/
Waiting for patched kernel.. hoping this will released soon |

Anyone is working on it?

History repeats...
Voodoo Team have done great work on 10.5 kernel for AMD. 10.6 came out, Voodoo Project was dead, and we were not able to run 10.6 on AMD for a long time (at least there was no stable solution). nawcom made great legacy kernel for 10.6/AMD users. We were happy and satisfied again. 10.7 is out, unfortunately nawcom has some serious medical issues, and we have to wait for some new legacy kernel project. |

What i know is one of the problems that the kernel source is incomplite.
I´m not really sure but i think anv also takes the diff from nawcom. (correct me if i´m wrong) Looks like it will take a while till we get a legacy_kernel which works. |
Any news yet? I bought Lion already. :)
I would have tried compiling a kernel with the legacy kernel diff but it would have needed a Lion installation first in order to compile. :-/ Does Lion require full 64-bit mode? (Which isn't possible for me with Legacy Kernel on SL at least) |
so with a patched kernel, would it be possible to run lion on my PC?
I really want to get a Tri-boot going. AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 16.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-870A-USB3 AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB (Any other info on my PC: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/4...wlfmhtwdAsCIrJ) |
That's the problem.. we need patched kernel first

@unrealized: Can't you compile on your hack under 10.6.7?

I have a computer with Lion on it, though I doubt the patches would just work without changing anything.

I have a hackintosh running Lion on an i5-2500K + 8GB memory. I just gotta get latest xcode, then I could compile.
|
They have no use, unless you know C++ :-/
|
I meant that, someone, who has the skills should implement the changes in the code, then send me the files to compile if he cant do that himself

I want a lion like a lion, but the new kernel is released again. I was waiting.
Spec grade fuel to reflect that. cpu phenomellx3 720 be unlock b20 x4. gigabyte ma785gmt-us2h. memmory 2x2 4G ddr3 1600 corsere. display ghaphic hd5670 1G ddr5 sapphire. I now use snow10.6.8 legacy_kernel 10.8.0 by nowcom. |

Work is progressing well... ;) Keep you guys posted when the final build is made... :D NOTE: Lion will require a 64bit CPU... |

Now some minor changes to the build scripts and I can upload the sources + built product (NOTE: I'm using Xcode 3.2.6 atm for building them, wastez will afterwards recompile the sources with Xcode 4.1 for final build) |
is the new kernel will fix kernel panic that occur when set sata on raid mode ? :)
|
Great news, can't wait for it. Now I got to get my Laptop to boot my Lion install USB-Stick
(Freezes on startup while detecting devices when stick is plugged) |
Subscribed! I have OS X 10.6.8 on AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 6000+ (on an XFX NForce 750a motherboard) and would like 10.7.x! :)
|
Guys, do you think my pc will run Lion?
Amd Turion 64x2 Nvidia 8400m gs 256mb |
Thanks AnV i really thought amd on Hackintosh is dead :)

Desperate on this as well. I upgraded to a GeForce GTS 450 from on-board GeForce 8200 (no QE/CI) had to use Opera for Youtube LOL
Problem in 10.6.8 is my system freezes! I am actually running a QuickTime video on the background just to get a few hours of use. Before I could only use the system a few minutes. Next thing im going to try (since I don't use it) is disable the HDMI on the board. |

can't wait
Just when I though I was out.....They pull me right BACK in! (quote from Godfather III ;))
I was gonna stay with 10.6.7 with my AMD system, but now I see the light! Thanks Andy! |
Thank you, Andy, you save my amd machine. :'(
Hope you success! ;) |

I'm starting to hear more firm release dates on bulldozer too. Fingers crossed that it won't be too tough to get it working in osx. |
nawcom may do it again!

My big worry is that bulldozer comes out and is as good as I hope and we have to wait a year or three to get a patched kern for it :/ |
