Lion with AMD

[larrougos]

Update on kernel from Bronzovka..
http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2584
"NEW KERNEL mach_kernel V4 supported all old Intel AMD core but without emulator Ssse3"

[PookyMacMan]

Whee! Now we need some source code! This is getting exciting...

[paced98]

This is cool, now it supports old intel proccessors too. But is that all it does in this update, just more support to old proccessors.

I gave up on Niresh's DVD. No matter what I did, it would not boot.

I just installed a clean copy of Lion on a flash drive and replaced the kernel with an AMD version. It boots but I get a kernel panic saying: "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\"..."

Any ideas?

[PookyMacMan]

You are not using a kernel compatible wit your system. Did you get the right kernel?

[tylwright]

Yes, I'm using the second kernel on this page:

I did the same thing and it's telling me that it can't find legacy_kernel

[tylwright]

Well, I managed to get a couple of lines farther but now I'm stuck on:

"RTC: Only single RAM bank (128 bytes)"

What does that even mean?

[tylwright]

I managed to get a little bit farther using rBoot. Currently, I'm stuck at: "Failed to load com.apple.driver.ApplyUSBOHCI -link error"

What can I do to resolve this issue?

Use the mach_kernel_V4 one at the top of his page
Or this page: http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2584
to get it to boot install your favorite chameleon flavor, then at the chameleon promp type -legacy cpus=2 busratio=16 arch=i386 GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0.

At least that is what worked for me.
Doesn't have a working Finder though, because that one is 64bit only.

Asus M4A78 motherboard with AMD Athlon II x2 250 processor.
ati SB700/770 chipset.
ATI RadeonHD 4350 enabled using ATI4350.Fix.v2.kext. In /Extra/Extensions/

VoodooHDA273 for sound.

Disabler.kext in /E/E
EvilAppleACPIPlatform in /E/E
IOPCIFamily from the install in /E/E ( I think this one is for 10.6.2 or 4)


And in org.chameleon.Boot.plist I put -legacy -v cpus=2 busratio=30 (mine required this) arch=i386 -force64 (for when the kernel will support this) GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0 into kernel flags.
Notice the changed numbers for cpus and PCIRootUID. Seems to make a difference, and is what our Russian friends are doing to theirs.
