spakk, you probably shouldn't do that, the connactic kernel is only for 10.8.0

you ninja'd me, theconnactic. And wow... if that's what I think it is, our job just got a whole lot easier. What's that source from?

OK

that would be really cool if it work for AMD Phenom II X6, great work

Hello, I readthrough the forum and saw you need a bulldozer tester. I have a fully working intel mac and alot of free time. So if you provide me with a kernel, kexts and boot flags to use I'll get straight to work

I can not see anywhere K10 my friend

Here the comparison of AMD CPU microarchitectures:

Great! Do you have a Bulldozer CPU? Which model? I attached the latest beta kernel in this topic, i'll find it for you. Thank you for stepping in!

P.S.: Don't forget to join us in Irc, server irc.osx86.hu, room #LegacyKernel

P.P.S.: The beta kernel is at the post #118

[VVlasy]

Yes, I have a FX-8120, gtx 560ti which works with chameleon with GraphicsEnabler and my motherboard is Asus sabertooth 990fx so if there would be any problems so we can find out if its caused by the onboard controllers (lan,audio etc.)

[spakk]

ups sorry, Barcelona is included, I was too busy.

[theconnactic]

Try to boot with the flags:

connactic archx86_64 npci=0x3000 busratio=18 -f -v

Crossing fingers!

Again, thank you, VVlasy: good luck!

[VVlasy]

Whats the port to the irc?

Edit: when I go to the irc.osx86.hu it redirects me to a forum

Edit2: I am in

'theconnactic'
I thought you wrote the SSSE Emulator

[ZackehSoul]

Looks like the stuff you found is built on Linux stuff, so that's a start at least.

The ssse3 emulator, if it exists, would be by its own definition platform-agnostic.

First, however, we need to find out if the ssse3 in fact exists. It should, because it's implied in the code i posted.

[Brandon Holland]

Been trying to get a Pentium-D to boot ML. Couldn't get anywere with a vanilla kernel. The only kernel I could get to boot was an 10.8.0 atom kernel, but it immediately died with a corecrypto panic related to ssse3. I managed to patch corecrypto to use the non ssse3 versions of the problem functions, but then an integrity test failed (I'm assuming because I modified it) and caused corecrypto to not load. So I patched the integrity test and now all tests pass and corecrypto seems to be happy. Everything seems to work fine now until it tries to start launchd. "Kernel is LP64" is where it stops. It's not frozen, just isn't doing anything (reacts when I pull the usb stick out). I'm assuming that there are more ssse3 instructions causing problems.

EDIT:
Removed patch

Bah, the word I was looking for was based. So it'd have to be rewritten is my point.

NEW BETA KERNEL!

Will post the diff later (UPDATE: here it is  XNU.diff.zip   1.2MB   14 downloads). Only one change, i added cpu_infop->vector_unit = 6 to the bottom of the if/else that starts at line 424 of MachineRoutines.c.

All credits to bholland, it was him that created this workaround.

Test it. Post reports and pics. Boot with connatic (yeah, with a typo).  connatic.zip   3.33MB   58 downloads

[theconnactic]

P.S.: bholland is working on it too: he's indeed closer than me at this point to make it work. However, his patches target Pentium D 64-bit (hear it, PookyMacMan?), but should be adaptable to AMD somehow. So, good luck and many thanks to him!

I'll do the test tonight, I am now at work. I'll tell you tonight.

here is my second result:  
what should I do?

In case you read this there has been a kernel panic.
There is no {censored} suport for running Lion on AMD.
You have to try fixing this yourself.

I thought that the current kernel implements ssse3emu, however, is only implemented in the xnu.diff sse3emu. Is it possible to integrate the linux kernel SSSE3emu in Mountain Lion?

[theconnactic]

Is there a ssse3 emu for Linux? Give the link for it, spakk, i'll see what can i do

sorry, I mean you've found the snippets on the website.
