@R:A:W:X86

This is my assembly of 11.4.0 XNU / Lion Kernel patches. : I started this with the aim to achieve the most optimal function on my AMD FX equipt workstation, even though it also works on many other AMD & legacy-Intel machines with some…

I am about to despair... I just installed an AMD FX 4100 CPU to an MSI 760GM-P23 mainboard - hoping for Lion to work with 64-Bit support. currently 100% disappointed. I cannot boot any Kernel with any version of OS X (tried 10.5 + Voodoo,…

Just purchased Mountain Lion from the AppStore... :

“Use recent version of Chameleon i.e. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231075”

“i'm an AMD stubborn, and i'm not exagerating: think i'll rather buy a piledriver set than change to intel; the price/performance ratio still pends to AMD side and i still have faith that the newer AMD CPUs can make through this tribulated t…”

“With RAW's, as i have a non-Bulldozer CPU, i got 32-bit with that described permission bug. The result was somewhat worse than what i already got with 10.7.2, because the finder restrictions now affected Path Finder, installers and disk uti…”

“I confess I do not understand anything, the FX is not based on data SSSE3 manufacturer AMD, and the FX work in 64 bit mode? Thank you explain to me please? dunno where your information comes from, but the FX has SSSE3 support: http://en.wik…”

“AAAAnd wastez...is it possible to boot 64 bit if you have SSE3 supported but you dont have bulldozer(AMD FX) CPU? It is about SSSE3 not SSE3 support. Only the following CPU are capable (SSSE3 + 64-Bit extensions): Lion Vanilla-Kernel compat…”

“With a SSSE3 emulator, Phenom users would be able to run as good as bulldozer's? It appears to be launchd that makes use of SSSE3, which is actualy open-source (I haven't yet looked it up) - but even if we could patch it, there might be oth…”

“I made some more progress! AMD FX-4100 running 32-Bit Apps in 64-Bit mode: : As you can see there is some problem with the Font imaging. Still working on it - more info to come later.”

“Ok, let me get this straight... Those of you running non Bulldozer CPU's have it working but 32-bit? (no Finder app?) Bulldozer CPUs can boot with 64-Bit enabled. Finder is a pure 64-Bit App in Lion, so yes it works. Running 32-Bit software…”

“...use NullCPUPowerManagement. No need for that kext, the Kernel has the black lister, that does the exact same job. So I don't think this will have any affect...”

“Well there are (have been) mainboards using the IDE interface for accessing devices and / or mainboards with chipsets that do not support AHCI.^^ Those controller that are not supported natively by OS X (AMD/ATI, SiS, VIA, nForce etc) of co…”

“It's worth a shot! dl.drop box.com/u/79094064/AppleATIATA.kext.zip Don't forget that this needs the SATA mode changed from AHCI to IDE in order to be any use...”

“Maybe it has something to do with updating from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 directly. I'm gonna download the 10.7.3 combo update and start there, cuz I've now bombed my install 3 times. Thank GOD for Carbon Copy Cloner (if you don't have it you should…”

“Here we go again... This is exactly what I got - after update 10.7.4...”

“10.7.4 / AMD anybody? Don't know if it is caused by using the old Kernel or if something went terribly wrong when using the pkg update: After update I have a lot of kxtld errors during boot, looks like a lot of Kernel Extensions are not get…”

“Maybe you need to try without BUILD folders... Just some idea that came across my mind this morning - I was too tired at our conversation yesterday, to be able to make such conclusions.”

“my home internet connection isn't that fast. This text file should be sized like a few 100KB - zip it and you can as well add it as attachment to this forum. Only one problem related to Safari, pages with java script, crashes it. Same like …”

“@All try this one specifically I applied the patch for R:A:W:X86 Thanks for the recompile & your other efforts. I know that what you have done means a lot of work. However it seems that those of AnV's code changes you added, are no use to m…”

“AMD FX-8120 ...already thought that... What you currently have, also works with the v3 Kernel by bronzovka... For 32-Bit Apps, you can try to flip 5A 89 E1 0F 34 90 into 59 CD FC 51 C3 90 in dyld. Be sure to give it +x permission before you…”

“maybe I expressed myself poorly. With (mach_kernel_32) just use the flags: npci=0x3000-force64 the system keeps stable even after a long time. Only 32-bit apps do not open. But 64-bit apps work perfectly! Sorry for the bad English, I'm Braz…”

“have u tryed anvs bin/ amd_insn_patcher ? in the very beginning he made one for his first legacy lion kernel build… have a go with it and see if it helps ya here it is cl .ly/103z1q3D2C3d2R012K0R We did. (yes the Lion one from 10.6.8 legacy…”

“Gee, I'm not that serious about it...it's just normal protocol to release source. All kernel devs have done that in the past... Well I am into this since the early days of Leopard and this wasn't not usual in the beginning. The source code …”

“aim getting the same panic you got can you share how did you solved this problem Hi, Like bronzovka says, the 11.3.0 Kernel doesn't seem to work with the 10.7.0 OS X that is used for Lion installation. As I already wrote in the post you rep…”

“Who supports AMD ssse3, you will not need to type the flag - it will be 64-bit) "FROM appl elife.ru" Someone can prove this? ASrock has published a Beta BIOS that would add AM3+ CPU support for my AM3 mainboard... If selling my Phenom after…”

“OK. I can now confirm it working, too. Previous Kernel Panic must have been some mistake when creating install media, so to simplify things, I used iAtkos L1 10.7.1 with just Basic System install this time... When not using -legacy flag, I …”

“How do you installed lion? Well... how about creating a Lion setup partition & trying to boot it?! At least I did so - or let's say I tried to do so... I am currently stopped by a Kernel Panic: In case of not using "-legacy" flag, I am gett…”

“What if you patch the dyld and the libsystem.b? Patching these on Snow Leopard is for 32-Bit Apps not to crash, when 64-Bit is enabled. Problem is that his Kernel has not enabled 64-Bit mode at all (it is booting pure 32-Bit legacy mode) In…”

“Awesome ! I need it Finder 32-bit from 11a380 ! check PM…”

“This screenshot looks pretty authentic - not look like trolling. : Sorry! Please wait for it kernel ! No today, no tomorrow , wait about a week ! Hey dude! Great work. Bad thing is that a lot of apps on Lion are no more 32-Bit supported, in…”

“Seriously, one question: your kernel is i386, as you said before, since it's based on anterior patched kernels (AndyVand, Bronzovka) that are all i386. But the original vanilla kernel - correct me if i'm wrong, please, here i'm way beyond m…”

“Unless anyone has PURE 64-bit running on the machine, with the FX Kernels etc. Xcode Will NOT Work. It's Pure 64-Bit for the Core Program In case you are talking about 64-Bit KERNEL: Please get correct information, before spreading your wro…”

“I encounter the problem of the network, regardless of the network card used, can not establish the connection (dlink 528 tx / rtl 8139 on the motherboard) I have no problem using the same kind of onboard device on both setups... Maybe try t…”

“Be sure to patch dyld & libsystem_kernel.dylib only - do not touch any other files in /usr/lib with amd_insn_patcher”

“One issue remains... font rendering is wrong in some apps. Can you describe with more details, what the problem is?”

“first i should say thank you for all your work. i have tried to install 10.7.4 in my AMD machine for more than two months. and i don't know how to compile the x86_64 source to a kernel. does your newest kernel (release in 7-18) need to be c…”

“Little bugreport for new kernel and 10.7.4: With Kernelflags: -v -f npci=0x2000 arch=x86_64 busratio=155 the system boots up to the point where my ntfs partitions are detected and the gui should show up. At this point nothing happens anymor…”

“Have not had any time to work on this for some weeks now - job and personal stuff have priority - but here's some small update. PLEASE TEST FOR ANY PERMISSION RELATED BUGS: copying files, LoginWindow.app etc. Download: xup .in/dl,20817071/t…”

“With kernel "bronzovkAnVoodoo_0_9_26" I'm not allowed to copy files, nor do almost anything. You can copy NO files?! There is the authorization bug, when having sysenter traps patched. But this only affects copying files to places where you…”

“10.7.5 is not released yet. Why do you want to use a dev-preview? There migtht be depencies for the corresponding Kernel build by some Extensions, i.e. like there has been in version 10.7.4 If you would tell us what the problem is - where t…”

“then put your DVD drive on the first SATA port and SNOW Leopard HDD in second position boot with boot flag -legacy -force64 UserKernelCache=No -v -f -x arch=i386_x64 (in safe mode) In your tutorial (sig) you claim to have 64-Bit enabled on …”

“damn :-| I just tried that on my Xeon E3 and it is possible to boot em64t mode with 32-Bit launchd... Can you please also try to boot without -legacy flag + 32-Bit launchd + sysenter traps patched in dyld & libsystem_kernel.dylib ? I am loo…”
