I'll just clarify that this section isn't for "omg how to get mountain lion / lion / snow leopard running on AMD".
The section is named "AMD Development". This basicly means that this section is dedicated to developing, not asking help.
I know I've done this even by myself, but now it's kinda out of control, everyone asking about installing ML on AMD etc.
The 3 threads (SL / L /ML) should be dedicated to development of kernels and other related stuff and reports of the developments, not asking "how to get it running i get error".

If you need help with AMD on SL for example, you should post on the installation help or if you followed a tutorial, ask the tutorial thread.
However, I do not suggest asking with PM, because then other people can't get the same information as easily, and it's not funny to see inbox full every minute.

Also, if you need help with the test kernels for SL / L / ML, you can post on this thread, I'm sure there are people ready to help you with your errors.
Let's just keep the "development" threads clean of the "spam" / stupid questions (even if there isn't any).

For real-time help, download an IRC client and join us:
chat.osx86.hu #LegacyKernel

And when you get your build running, please post here!

Thanks!

You must use AHCI mode in your BIOS. Are you sure you set everything to AHCI?
With some motherboards you can make your 1 - 3 AHCI and 4 - 6 IDE, for example.

Not sure if someone found solution to the problems, but this is how I understand it:

ATI = Native resolution, full QE/CI, graphics glitches
NVidia = Boots only to safemode, without QE/CI, some has got it booting without -x, but still no QE/CI, no information about glitches

So I think ATI is kinda "the winner" atm, but it still has some glitches.
Like I said, try disabling the power management in the ROM, you can find instructions somewhere on the AMD Development section.

For Nvidia Fermi (Maybe Kepler) disable GeforceGA.plugin and GLDriver.bundle in System/Library/Extensions. This will allow you to boot without -x (safe mode), however no acceleration. My 9500GT works just fine, the GTX560 is the b*tch.

For anyone with bootdisk / Installer issues:

I would try to just download a clean VMWare image. I downloaded 10.8.2 and mounted it to desktop. I then cloned that drive to my partition using disk utility. It makes it easier and faster. Then you can do some real troubleshooting. I am going to worry about a boot disk later. I have my snow leopard boot partitions.
Here are the VMware mounting things. Put them in Library folder in the same labeled folders. If it does not work then google for VMWare image mounting os x.

Gismo, google for, download and run the and_insn_patcher from Andy Vandjick. Use this link for further instructions: http://www.osx86.net...ps-working.html

Then you must apply the Xpchelper fix:

I assume you're using a FX CPU, right? That should give you a fully working 10.7.5 system.

Good luck.

[Gismo]

Thank you very much:Yes I have a FX CPU.The listen well to.Sorry my English is very bad.Thanks again.

Thanx for the reply
But when i set AHCI in Bios then my windows not working The main issue is this
I try then i reply

[theconnactic]

Yeah, when Windows is previously installed with IDE mode, it ain't work with AHCI. My advice here is backup data/reinstall Windows/put data back (Easy Transfer tool, Windows equivalent of Migration Assistant).

Best regards.

Hey!

Do I see it right that FX/Nvidia users are atm stuck at 10.8.0 and 660 support starts with 10.8.2?
I got 10.8.0 running with sineteks test 1 and fx8120/gtx660 but now im stuck with reboots and kernel panics!

Thanks!

Just a question, is it recommended to make a partition for chameleon/clover?
so make your hdd 2 partitions, first one to install bootloader, second for OS X.
Or is doesn't it make any difference?

[xmaniak100]

Hey guys... Ive been looking throught this site for any fixes but none worked so this is what i would love ya to help me with.

I got instant reboot with amd kernel by anv, so i used the one which is harcoded to TSC 18. I could boot up but had an ACPI panic. I then rolled back the AppleFSDriver, IOACPI and AppleACPI kexts from 10.8 installation media to my 10.8.2 installation...but it didnt help... if i try to boot either one i get this panic.

 IMG_0011.JPG   305.95KB   25 downloads

From what i understand the kernel fails to load some symbols which of course then lead to a panic...however if somebody could explain it a little better, I would appreciate it.


My CPU is AMD FX 6100
My GPU is AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHZ edition.

I have default bios cpu settings.

I boot with flags: arch=x86_64 -v -f busratio=17 or 155 fsb=200 GraphicsEnabler=No(need to use this) and both with and without -force64


Thanks in advance!!!!

As far as i know there is a KEXT for ml to get around the still waiting for root Device think! I would try that and/or npci=0x2000 bootflag!
