mitch_de Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 guys how do I run the video card on a lion Nvidea Gforce 8600GT 1gb My 9600 GT works - only added gpu info in DSDT (also used in Snow Leo). Modern chameleon didnt need that, they have autographic injection, the older EFI bootloader not. So use DSDT patching or graphics string injection (i think XPC/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] can handle that also beside dsdt).

jmacie Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Had same problem here, solved unplugging all HDs but Lion's one. Serial port is disabled in BIOS. Thank you, spent a whole day thinking I couldn't make an [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] flashdrive. It's too many partitions for [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] too handle.

Mela quadrata Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 My 9600 GT works - only added gpu info in DSDT (also used in Snow Leo). where did you put your DSDT.aml in LION (what path) ? No "extra" folder, without Chameleon, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bor Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 After few attempts, I've finally managed to run [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] from USB 8 gb pendrive (my specs in signature). Drive has MBR scheme and has two partitions: 1# 2 GB fat32 with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and 2# 6 GB with Lion installation disk (recovered BaseSystem.dmg with all necessary modifications, as in instructions on forum). I can invoke GUI and change parameters in menu that i see after pressing 'M'. Problem starts when I try to run Lion Install Disk. Bootloader seems to hangup. In GUI mode if I try to run Lion Installation with -v parameter, I get message like "Please wait: Booting Verbose Mode", but it gets nowhere from here. If I boot without GUI, I just get black screen and HDD light is not flashing (I've set second partition of my pendrive as a default drive for booting). I'm using custom made DSDT that works good in Snow Leopard 10.6.5 and I got my serial port turned off. I've tried disabling IDE chip in BIOS, but [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] acts the same way. I also tried putting installation disk on HDD (GUID,HTFS+), but nothing changes. Any suggestions are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 where did you put your DSDT.aml in LION (what path) ? No "extra" folder, without Chameleon, right? With XPI it looks like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mela quadrata Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 With XPI it looks like this Sorry for my english... I asked you, if you use your DSDT.aml loaded directly by Lion partition not in bootloader... in my notebook, i start with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and with DSDT.aml that i use in Snow (patched for my graphic mobile card) but if i put it in the bootloader ([url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]) when lion come to desktop, the GPU (resolution and QE/Ci) don't works... If I use NVenabler.kext, my GPU works. But i prefere use my DSDT.aml that I use with Snow Leopard but i dont know how load it by Lion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantyjeffrey Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Okay, guys - I now have native resolution on my GTX470 with dual monitor support. Originally, I had followed the steps via netkas' blog, but it still wasn't working. Adding/installing the ATY_Init.kext from netkas is what did the trick. If you don't want to hunt around for the correct kexts, you can get them here: http://cl.ly/0l1S2T2b2x1V3y2B2o0E <---Fermi Drivers http://netkas.org/?p=640 <---64-bit ATY_Init.kext Hope this helps some people out, Let me know if it does or not...

PGHammer Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Well you need to use the fdisk in the precompile folder.I added a new comment where you can download the sources and precompile. It's the original chameleon source with some light modification. I suggest to install it to your diskXs2, and your extra folder on the lion partition. I know almost nothing about AMD so I can't help you with that. The GPU is AMD (HD5450 PCIe) - the CPU is Intel's Celeron DC (E1200 currently, but will upgrade to E3400 next week). The mod involves the Kabyl bootloader (for adding HD5xxx QE/CI) for Snow (not Lion). I've actually finally got QE/CI (and proper display support) on the Snow side.

tdtran1025 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have been wrestling with Lion for the last 2,3 days and never had the time to explore [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] further until today. The interesting thing I discovered by accident is that it makes a big difference how I format the USB stick–by this I mean using wither Windows or Mac. I tried it a few times to make sure I can consistently produce same results. If I use Mac to do it, it reveals all features the developers intend, such as GUI as default. If I format the stick in Windows (which was a big mistake on my part), the bootup screen is so unpredictable to the point I lost confidence and had to keep pounding keys blindly, hoping to achieve certain effect. It is also very interesting about this loader, in which I think it has a lot of potential. The boot-up screen is minimalist and clean, very much like that od Apple. It is certainly, for now, has a following of Lion testers. That said, Chameleon is still the most flexible and elegant in its own right–and it's only a matter of time its developers will put in feature to handle Lion.

HFW Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 anyone had any luck with ALC889? Having to use AppleHDA.kext from Snow Leo to get it to work atm... and that doesn't work as well as with 10.7's AppleHDA.kext obviously Getting a lot of crackling when, for example, system sounds play while music's playing. >: I've tried modifying the DSDT in post 207 to work with ALC889 but that just gives me the same issue as with my original DSDT edits: Audio shows in System Information, Sound Preferences shows no outputs/inputs. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezhoon Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just curious..has anyone successfully made 6970/6950 work with Lion?
