kernel 12.0 AMD SVP ?

[gils]

goodnight,

The good news is that Niresh ML 10.8 moved through OSInstall. mpkg, I tested a vein attempt with kernel RAWX86 11.4, it was expected that it will not start but I still say that the processor is recognized with the FSB, maybe a track gentlemen developers ??

Hey, Gils! That's good news! I tried a different approach: tried to apply RAWX86's diff file as a patch to the 12.0 XNU, to no avail. Never thought of simply use RAWX86's 10.7.4 directly to see the results.

P.S.: "In case you read this there has been a kernel panic
there is no ----ing support to running Lion on AMD
you have to try fixing this yourself"

[R:A:W:X86]

looks similiar as it does when you build i386 ML XNU from source and try to boot it (intel setup)....

[The Connactic]

Hmm. Of course, RAW: your kernel is i386, Mountain Lion requires AMD64. I myself was making a similar mistake, trying to patch 12.0 with your diff.

We could try, as an experience unlikely to succeed obviously, to boot ML with your universal version of 11.4 and archx86_64. Just to see what happens.

Did it! No instant reboot at all. Instead:

How funny! The attached image is flipped upside down!

Anyway, notice - if you can, the photo's quality is poor, done with an iPad - the sixth line: "the mach-0 is malformed", whatever that means.

[R:A:W:X86]

For my understanding of that flipped image:

1. it's an AMD based setup
2. it's an installation of Mountain Lion
3. you are trying to boot it using that Kernel: http://osx86.co/f100/10-7-4-amd-kern...post58241.html
4. it does not result in instant reboot, while it does when using the same Kernel (x86_64) on a Lion installation

?!

1) It's an AMD Athlon II X2 250, running on an ECS-A780LM-M2 motherboard, with 8 GB RAM (2x4GB 1066 kingston), booting from an USB device (yeah, i have a complete 10.8 installation on my USB stick just in case my 10.8.1 netbook suddenly fails on me);

2) Yup, Mountain Lion 10.8.0;

3) I'm using this one, upload by you (and renamed by me): http://www.xup.in/dl,21183920/universal_kernel.zip/

4) No, no instant reboot at all! A lot of messages like "Symbol not found" or something, much like when i tried to run 10.7.2 with your kernel (yes, i did it, but 10.7.2 actually boot to the desktop), then these lines "failed kext" and "mach0 is malformed", then KP.

I will upload a video of the entire process later, if you think it's useful.

P.S.: i used the following flags: raw64bit (my name for your kernel) npci=0x3000 arch=x86_64 -v
Here's the org.chameleon.plist of my USB 10.8.0, if needed:


<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,3)</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>custom</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Quiet Boot</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>npci</key>
<string>0x2000</string>

(notice it does not include the bootflags i used)

You are sure, that using the same Kernel build (x86_64) on 10.7, on the same hardware - has been causing instant reboot?

I'd rather try this experiment myself, but I don't have much time for these things atm - would be great if you could ensure this...
