10.7.4 AMD Kernel

[davisin666]

Good work!

Maybe with std_dyld=Yes could work

With FX and useflags: -v busratio=155 npci=0x2000 arch=x86_64 I get instant reboot!

Well your KP most likely has to do with the binary opcode parsing, that's why the code changes in mach_loader.c are excluded from my patch.

Like I wrote previously, there is not any more need for CPUID parsing in Lion (there is not any application that needs it) + 32-Bit Apps are working for the 64-Bit capable users just fine by binary patching.
That's why I haven't made any attempt to fix this...

Ehm mate - no offense, but I think you are missing something:

SSSE3 emulator, how can it be so hard? (theoretically speaking) because there's only 16 new instructions that SSSE3 introduced.. hmm...

I think it has something to do with the CPU identification routines, why the 64-Bit Kernel boots for you, while it reboots for many others.

The fact that I can boot the x86_64 Pcj XNU on Snow Leopard on my FX machine kinda proves this hypothesis.
Sadly that guy has not ever released any source code (like many other people in the scene). -.-

I will start looking further into this during the next weeks...
...I am currently busy trying some Mountain Lion stuff.

It is the same for me - both Kernel don't work at all not x86_64 nor i386 - just instant reboot.

Hi @ll

Thanks for the quick answers, but it does not matter what I enter as a boot flag, it is always the same error message

[justinster123]

I compiled another kernel without the opcode patcher that boots to the point where launchd would boot up and no further on x86_64 ... Those of you with fx and test it out but @R:A:W does your kernel work in 64 bit kernel space on your amd?

No. But the x86_64 Kernel I compiled from my collection of patches, has been booting on yours as well - hasn't it.

I have started some testing on this, but it's yet another needle in a haystack...

A little of topic:

Has someone yet managed to compile the ML Kernel in Lion?

lmao do you want me to upload it anyways for you to try? .__.
I really need to see if it will boot for you in 64-bit kernel space

Of course, you are welcome to upload it.
I am not very busy atm, so I could try it if you want me to.

my usb keyboard works no more.
with the PS2 Keyboard hangs at USBF: 6719 AppleUSBOHCI........ without this message >>> still waiting for root device

[akimoa]

just a offtopic question for all the Bulldozer Lion guys what was your audio solution ( VodooHDA,DSDT, AppleHDA ?) just curious
