“Instant Idiot, did you check netkas site out? He does an awesome work with ATI drivers for OSX.”

“Refer to MyHack (google it!) which has a comprehensive guide. Take in notice that even with retail you'll have issues because of your AMD CPU: it will only work in legacy mode (32-bit), the stock finder won't work etc. If you had a Bulldoze…”

“Godofwar, retail is always better. I think you should update your system to 10.7.4 and replace your kernel for RAWX86's.”

“LOL! Open Terminal.app. Type: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE Hit enter, than type: killall Finder You'll see that fseventsd-uuid vanishing like magic.”

“Finder preferences. And org.chameleon.plist in Extra folder for the boot flags (search my post, man, i won't type those key/strings again). I strongly suggest you to use Path Finder instead of the 32-bit Finder. DP2 finder really sucks, and…”

“It's probably because of your graphics. The flash issues, probably the same issue: flash movies needs QE/CI, which needs a properly working Graphics Card. So you have to chase those drivers: good luck! One more thing about the commands: i t…”

“Instant Idiot, i never saw anything like you're experiencing. Sorry if i'm of little help now.”

“I am! But i must confess, my windows 7 installation is on a PATA disk. I have one PATA for Win 7 and three SATA for respectively Lion 10.7, my time machine for both my AMD and my Atom netbook (which backs up to it via network) and a big NTF…”

“The corrupted filesystem message happens when you boot your system, or during the installation of the combo?”

“Don't you have an onboard graphics in your MoBo, Godofwar? Since it's an AMD, the onboard graphics are usually ATI or AMD too...”

“Godofwar, if you can stand the difficulties of running Lion on AMD, you should stay on Snow Leopard. It's not the latest and greatest, but it's far better than anything Windows can offer (well, i didn't use Win8 to know better) and run grea…”

“Because you installed Snow Leopard in the first partition. Now, that becomes dead space. In disk utility, once you set a partition scheme, only the first one is malleable. The second one cannot be resized, so you're out of luck. Maybe this …”

“Take a look at this link: your answer is in pink, red and purple types: osx 86.net/view/2723-amd_kernel_v6_for_10.7.4.html”

“Don't see my motherboard listed, am I out of luck or is my Asus motherboard similar to one of those that I can probably use a patch still? Asus M4A79XTD EVO I'm not sure, i advise you to register there and ask, some of them are pretty well …”

“Search for the keyword jeaton. EDIT: If you have access to a real mac, or to an intel or atom hackintosh with iCloud running, you can follow my get to set up iCloud on your hack: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282821-icloud-for-amd-…”

“Snow Leopard was in the second partition of that HD? I hope so, then you can add that 70 gigs to Lion. Then: 1) Make sure in your BIOS to have SATA mode set up as AHCI (or RAID, if you don't have AHCI as an option); 2) Boot in Lion. Disconn…”

“Alright, I have Lion working with internet, sound and graphics card on 10.7.2. Everything seems to be working fine but how do I set up Lion so I don't have to type -legacy -v arch=i386 npci=0x3000 each time I want to access the Lion operati…”

“Lion is stuck in 32-bit for now on AMD machines, except Bulldozers. As i told you So, the Finder ain't gonna work, since it's 64-bit. As i told you. Therefore, why don't you refer to the tutorial i linked to you, if that tutorial is precise…”

“Congratulations, Godofwar! Which method did you use? Finder won't work. Google Lion DP2 Finder (is a 32-bit version). Google also kexts.com - there you will find any kext that you really need.”

“Ham4ever, i would try the following: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113288 xmaniak100, you can try the kx drivers with your Audigy. The worst thing that can happen is that the drivers don't work. Is your SSD broken? Vm…”

“About GTX with SL, ask here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=173 and here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=179”

“Godofwar, try these tutorials for Lion: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=278181 (I got it to work using this one) hack-my mac.fr/index.php/...fx-buldo#28896 (this is very good also) Back up your Snow Leo before trying an…”

“If you're doing well with SL (system which most Apple customers consider the pinnacle of OSX), and need a system to do serious work with it for a living, why upgrade, since you'd be limited to a possibly unstable 32-bit system (the 32-bit p…”

“xmaniak100, you're welcome! Please report back, i want to know if it worked for you.”

“Godofwar, open a terminal window (terminal is an app, search in the spotlight bar or at the Aplications folder, inside the subfolder Utilities. Then, type at the terminal: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE Pay attention…”

“If you're talking about the EMU10K chip (Soundblaster Live! 5.1), i think this could help, xmaniak100; worked like a charm for my SB (supports various Soundblaster models): kxproject.lugo soft.com/down.php”

“I would just like to test the new 10.8 kernel and try to patch it for AMD. Delta, i'm very interested in the possibility of patching the Mountain Lion kernel so it runs on AMD machines. I opened a thread in Insanelymac forum about it: you'r…”

“Yes, xmaniak! You'll have full 64-bit app support with a Buldozer CPU. Only the kernel will be 32-bit, therefore some hardware devices that relies only on 64-bit drivers (kexts) won't be usable. I don't remember any that falls in that categ…”

“So you have QE/CI, and the problem is rather software than hardware-related...”

“Great, justin! However, it would be palliative, yet a very useful one, to concentrate efforts at tweaking the i386 patched lion kernel. Okay, let's work on it, like RAW X86 worked on adding support on it for 64-bit apps on ssse3-enabled Bul…”

“Somehow I lost my previous account. Asked to reset my password but the new one never comes. Anyway, I'm back. Thank you again, RAW X86 : your new updated kernel did the trick. Now i'm running 10.7.4 and the permissions bug is gone for good.…”

“My system already works like a charm, Gabriela! In 32 bit, like yours. No original Finder, no latest Xcode, no Parallels7 (but i have a workaround to make P6 work in Lion, then this issue is solved as much is i'm concerned).”

“As for copy/paste and permission bug fixes, read the entire content of this thread and the other at infinitemac, AMD with Lion.”

“Are you really sure of it, Gabriela? Do you use the stock Finder, or the DP2 Finder instead? Have you tried parallels desktop 7? And the new Xcode, does it work without issues? These are 64-bit apps which should not run by any means on your…”

“I'm running Lion 10.7.4 and, as i said, it runs just fine on my PC. But 32-bit only, so no Finder and other 64-bit apps (even my CPU being a 64-bit capable CPU; ssse3 is crucial for Lion to support 64-bit apps on 32-bit mode). With Mountain…”

“Reporting back from my experiment: in the end you were right, RAW, as expected btw: it ain't that easy. So the transition to Mountain Lion will be a troubled one for AMD hackintoshes, also as expected. How are your own experiments doing?”

“I'll really beg you to forgive me if i look stubborn right now, RAW, but i was talking about using the 64-bit patched kernel of yours (yes, that one that gives us instant reboots) and apply these patches of yours to the source code (or, eve…”

“It just has come to my mind: we have patches for AMD, made by bronzovka and rawx86. Using some text tool, can't we just separate the specific AMD instructions by comparing with the vanilla source and then apply them to the Mountain Lion sou…”

“I'll do just that, but i'm afraid i'll get similar results, since i have a similar dual core, one generation newer, an Athlon II X2 250. Two questions: 1) The KP you got was when booting arch X64_86? Or both archs? 2) Assuming it's possible…”

“Great job, Justin! Cool that someone takes the torch from RAW and keeps it running for AMD machines. If a 64-bit kernel is really built, we can even make it to Mountain Lion someday! Did you ran your kernel on a FX series CPU, or on an olde…”
