Ok after having a nice working 9850 Phenom install of 10.5.2 i tried to put efi on only to find out that EFI wont work on phenoms. No if I'm right certain kernels are wrote for efi (correct me if im wrong). So any phenom users out there what kernels are you running.
Thanx in advance LawlessPPC |
EFI is installed on my system with a modified kernel (9.2), I tried with every kernel you can found on the net and it works with EFI.
The kernels you referred to must be the vanilla kernel (unmodified) but it works only for Intel cpus. |
there are non efi kernels out there i have all of them backed up if you need them
but you have to install leopard with out efi to make them work |
As far as I know every kernel works with or without EFI, but you must take care about AppleACPIPlatform which can be original if you use EFI but modified if you system is non-EFI.

last kernel i used was modbin 9.2 for amd (32bit!!!!) everything was running fine. Then when I tried to install efi it broke the whole lot. So what are the recommendations. My idea scenario is efi with latest kernel which is the best way to go about that.
Thanx in advance LawlessPPC |
you can't have efi on phenom systems
that is why it messed up to beable to install leopard on your system you have to install it with out efi and don't install efi after you install leopard |
bhast thats what i thought and found out to my cost. I thought thats the reason why the other dvds rebooted due to the efi.
So blast which kernel would you recommend. By the way what are your specs |
use 9.2.2 kernel
that works great with non efi machines if you need it i will attach it here |
please and recommende method of install
|
depends on chipset if its sb600 then zephyroth amd 10.5.1
|
i dont know of any sb700 support check on osx86 forums
|
I am hoping to get a 9.2.2 AMD kernel thats 64bit thats non EFI anybody know the right direction to look
Thanx in advance LawlessPPC |
you can't use 64 bit on amd
|
thanx for the much needed info

Install Chameleon Bootloader v1.0.11, after install 9.3 kernel for AMD. Working flawlessly!

hmmm well I can confirm that cameleon does allow 9.3.0 kernel thanx for neing braver than me. I was all ready to build a fresh disk just to try this. Guess now it time for the fresh applesmbios.kext. This should be in announcements.
Thanx Again LawlessPPC |
Ya, worked for me too. 10.5.1 with the 9.3 kernel. I hope I get time over the next day or two to see what else will work... I need to try smbios and 10.5.2, 10.5.3
