AMD FX 4100 - can't boot into any version of OS X

[weller99]

Hey guys,
I just upgraded my cpu from a Phenom II X4 965 to an FX-8150.
I previously had my VM running snow leopard with xcode4.2 just fine. I had to use "busratio=14" and that was all I needed.
Now, I get the same errors that you (RAWx686) were experiencing with the vm_page_set_colors panic. I changed my busratio to 18. To be sure, I went into the BIOS and set it to Manual and selected 18. I tried other flags, like "cpus=1 -f -F arch=x86_64 -force64" and various combinations to no avail. I tried the 10.6.2 hackintosh boot ISO as well, and tried the flags there, but i get the same error.
Do either of you have any idea what I could try next?
RAWx86, can I try your hacked source code? If you kept your keyboard in, did you still get the kernel panic, or was that another error message entirely?

Unrealized, you say Lion works with FX-8150? Does snow leopard work for him, or did he not even try that? What flags did he use? I really need to get my VM back up!
Thanks in advance!

Ofcourse I can, note that this Kernel build does not yet include a custom dyld!!
I still need to recompile it using voodoobuild script!
You may have to pass -force64 flag, if your system will shutdown at boot.

// out of date - get latest one from http://osx86.co/f36/amd-fx-4100-cant...post57026.html

For some reason I have not yet managed to compile either Darwin 10.8.0 or 11.x - so Kernel will be 10.7.0 and require to use 10.6.7 IOPCIFamily.kext and IOACPIPlatform.kext on 10.6.8

I am still hoping for someone to help with compiling Lion Kernel - also asked bronzovka to include my fix to his Kernel, but do not have his response yet.

I will add Kernel with custom dyld later.


Alu Keyboard pluged causes freeze at stage when AppleUSBOHCI Sleep warning should appear.
I don't think this has anything to do with CPU/Kernel - but it is annoying and maybe someone knows a fix...
Currently my priority is Snow / Lion / Audio / Keyboard^^ - so most likely I will look at this later...

[weller99]

Thanks. I downloaded your kernel.
Do I just need to mount my .vdi image (i use virtualbox, not vmware), and replace the kernel with yours?
I'm not sure how else to do it.
Cheers,

I freaking made it!

I just succesfully managed to compile Lion Kernel using XCode 4.2 for Snow Leopard.

Fixed bronzovka patch to work with FX-4100:



Finder working 64-Bit.

bronzovka,

In case you read this.
Thanks a lot for the Kernel patch and especially for realising the source code.
If you would not have done, I would have been out of luck...


Will post the fixed Kernel later in case someone needs it!

@weller99
most likely yes, i am not familiar with either virtualbox nor vmware, sorry

does installer work ?

I have not tried yet... had it installed previously.

I may try later if the installer works on SSSE3 capable CPU, it's 6:00 in the morning - I will get some sleep now...

happy dreams
we are from the same time zone

I'm not sure where my reply went. Is there a lag for it to appear in the forum?

Anyways, let me retype this.

congrats on getting lion compiled and working, rawx86!

i cannot for the life of me, figure out how to get the kernel into the .vdi (which is an already working osx image) nor the .iso image(the modified install iso). With the ,vdi, I got inside it with VBoxManage hdshowinfo to get the offset, and then "losetup" to create a loop device to see the partition table. The table was an GPT table which parted is supposed to be able to read but can't.
I gave up on that one, and tried the ISO. I can mount the ISO after running kpartx on it because there is an apple and hfs+ partition. Recreating that is not straightforward. It's easy to use mkisofs on a single partition, but i want to leave the other ones intact.

How are you doing it? with a mac? I'm trying to do all of this from a Linux host.
Cheers,

You can't install with the kernel. You need to use iAtkos L2 on Snow Leopard and run the OSInstall.mpkg..

It's kinda tricky. Nice to see it's done though, I'm personally moving to Intel hackintoshes later this month. Just because I hate problems.

[weller99]

Thanks.
I'm still a bit confused.
I already had a working image with my old CPU - snow leopard by hazzard but now that same image gets the vm panic on my upgraded FX-8150 processor.

If I can somehow mount the old drive that snowleopard is installed on, can I just swap the kernel with the one that RAW-X86 compiled? Is there anything else needed other than that 1 file? If I boot my image, I see Chameleon v2.0-RC3, and hit F8, I see that I can go: kernel_name (must be in /). So, I could just name it kernel-rawx86, and keep my existing kernel, i suppose... In Linux, you'd have modules in /lib/modules, initrd and System.map, so I'm not sure on all the kernel dependencies.

Unrealized, you say to use Atkos L2 and run OSInstall.mpkg, but I don't have a working OSX at all right now it's a catch-22 I'm faced with, and Atkos L2 says it does not work for AMD according to their site.

Right now, I actually don't care whether I use snow leopard or lion. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
