Hello, I'm Brazilian

and I'm watching from the beginning of the development of ML on a PC AMD.

I would love to try and post the bugs. But I do not know where to start.

I can install SL and then go straight to ML?

Sorry for English .. And if I'm messing up let me know!

you guys are the best.... :thumbsup_anim:

Hi Adrian, welcome!

 

In short, you'll need to have access to a working Hackintosh or a real Mac, download myHack and use it to create a 10.8 installer, replace corecrypto.kext with this one, and finally try booting with the kernels from here (mach_sse42_only seems to be working best at the moment).

I'll make a new kernel later.

This one will be based more on Sinetek's patches (with a few additions of my own)

I hope to fix that failed issue.

This one won't boot faster than Sinetek's kernel (not adding driver load patch, I have a hunch there)

Post when I've built it...

Finish testing all kernels.

 

The only one that works for my Athlon II X2 250 is Andy's latest and greatest, and in safe mode only, otherwise i'll have severe graphics artifacts and no GUI at all. The curiosity is that, in safe mode, i can see in system report my graphics card properly displayed as a G210 both in PCI Cards/Graphics and Displays section. The driver is show as loaded. That indicates the kernel can load the nVidia kext, but some missing instruction (ssse3?) is making it to malfunction.

 

The mach_sse42_only sometimes also boot in safe mode, but frequently panics.

 

Best regards

Hi! :)

 

I finally made it... Installed 10.8.2 on my AMD! :)

 

Okay, now the info:

 

myHack 10.8.2

Sinetek's & AnV's kernels

Patched CoreCrypto.kext

AppleDecrypt.kext

Removed Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext

 

 

Phenom II x4 965

ATI Radeon HD5870

ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO

8GB DDR3 1333Mhz

 

 

 

I got it booting to desktop with both kernels. AnV's kernel (with -nosse3bit) was much slower than Sinetek's (I used mach_sse42_only).

AnV's kernel also got pretty bad GUI problems, for example: The whole menubar @ top was green / red gradient (sorry I didn't take a pic, it was hilarious :D). Also got the FIPS error with AnV.

Sinetek's kernel booted pretty fast, straight to the desktop. Still some GUI problems (mostly looks like running OS X on a GPU from 90's). It's just like some basic GFX lag.

 

I'm ATM on my SL installation, but I'll boot back to ML (installing Lnx2Mac's ethernet) and I'll report how does it recognize the CPU / RAM / etc.

:)

10.8.2 with sinetek kernel:

 

-v npci=0x3000

 

System boots, major graphics issues. System unusable.

 

10.8.2 with AnV kernel:

 

-v npci=0x3000 -nossse3bit

 

System boots, minor graphics issues, after about 10 minutes of use they usually solve themselves. System usable

 

Screenshots later

 

If the next release could help with the GFX issues, it'd be appreciated - they're annoying haha. :)

 

EDIT: oops, got the kernels switched. Sineteks has the better graphics. A fix would still be appreciated :cheeky:

hello all, iv been reading this thread for some time now, keen to try it myself, though some wonders, amd 9600 quite old, will it work? also atiata.kext

thank you

 

If it works with Lion, it should work with ML too. However, you're probably going to get the same graphics problems as all of us. :D

 

EDIT: I'll try to take a video about all these funny graphics bugs now :D

 

EDIT2: Damn no batteries @ camera...... So I recommend you all to test yourselves! :D

It's not really that hard... :D

 

EDIT3: Sinetek's kernel seems to be pretty stable, 1h runtime now. The graphics problems seem to go away with time. :o

I made the new kernel.

This one does not directly load the drivers and has some of the old code removed.

Also no codesig override (may fix failing FIPS).

Enough talk, this needs testing ;)

Attached are the kernel and the diff

It's the birthday edition (today is my birthday lol -> 03/01/1985 :P)

Test it and let me know how it works.

The flags are the same as the other one.

-nossse3bit = don't set SSSE3 supported bit (probably needed)

-nosse42bit = don't set SSE4.2 supported bit (probably not needed)

-nodecryptor = don't use built-in decryptor but use decryption kext

Please test and report back :D

First of all Happy Birthday mate xD

 

Kernel boots using -nossse3bit as it did before but still a no go with my nVidia GT 430 :(

 

FIPS integrity check still shows it Fails.

No FIPS fail with -nodecryptor?

Fips fail, gfx issues still present (not as much as with the previous kernel). Btw, my Safari can't display letter "a". I hope this post will show them right.

Can't post from Opera , it gets SIGBUS signal and shuts down instantly, same with Skype. Both work with Sinetek's kernel (well, Skype crashes but that's something else, and it isn't instant crash).

 

Some pics xD :

Btw, one of the hardest posts I've ever written on any forum. :D

Tested with -nossse3bit. FIPS fail. macx_swapon hangs for a minute or two. Bad graphics fractals.

 

List of apps which are unusable because of graphics: (On sinetek's kernel)

 

Safari

Firefox

 

Chrome half-works, a few brown screens here and there.

 

As far as browsers go, Opera is your best bet, no issues at all.

 

I'll keep updating this as I go on. :P

FIPS Integrity Check Fails with -nodecryptor on yes. I have your Decyptor kext installed aswell.

 

Still get black screen on which I can type then it disappears which is weird.. Not there in safe boot or ig Graphics kexts removed.

Same as akimoa and Shane here.

 

With Athlons, it appears to be worse than with any other model of CPU: with both your kernels, Andy, and with the one from Sinetek which work (mach_sse42_only), i can only boot in safe mode. Seems that the issue lies on the opcode emulator. Somehow the graphics kexts load but behave strangely.

 

Best regards!

Try to reset BIOS or something, it worked for me... :D

No idea what I actually did... And I think Akimoa got it working too! :)

 

EDIT: Oh, Connactic was faster... :D

 

EDIT2: Maybe this helps... When applications crash, the report shows always libsystem_kernel.dylib and libdispatch.dylib. I could try patching these with amd_insn_patcher... ?

Btw, I get crash always when I go to System Prefs, open the "Sound" panel and change my volume from there. :D

 

EDIT3: Oh... Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) :D

 

Full crash report:

Guess I'll have to use Sinetek diff with my bit set code only

Also his last opemu (02/01/2012).

If that works we'll drop my patch and his is the way to go...

Since i only can boot in safe mode, sound's not an issue here. In fact, sound it's not, period. :P

 

Yeah, same here... No sound (VIA VT1708S xD), but even without sound the thingy crashes... :o

I'm compiling Sinetek's diff right now with only the 2 boot options

-nossse3bit

-nosse42bit

I hope this one works (apart from that it's Sinetek his patch)

Post when done...

 

Here it is...

Use the -nossse3bit boot flag to boot.

NOTE: This has no built-in kernel decryptor... use my AppleDecrypt.kext or FakeSMC

Please test it and report back A.S.A.P please ;)
