Distros are always problematic to run. Nothing like a good retail installation. Well, i don't know how to help you in this case: good luck and post your results here.

Hi,i have a problem with install Iatkos ml2 on amd athlon ii x2 245.i have created a bootable usb and i put Sintek_kernel 10.8 10.8.2 but when i boot with arch=x86_64 kernel name i stuck on the apple logo!!
Any solution for this??
Sorry for my badly English
Thanks

[theconnactic]

Probably iatkos installed something unexpected. That's the problem with the system. The best recommendation i could give you is to spend $19 (the same price of two Big Mac combos!) and buy Mountain Lion from Apple, and from the unmodified OS, start adding drivers that enable it to boot on your machine, knowing what you're throwing in.

If you want to stick with iAtkos, at least boot with -v, so we can learn for sure what's going on.

Best regards!

TheConnactic.when i boot with arch=x86_64 kernel name -v i've stick on the blackscreen.
But when i got a original Mountain Lion,work on my machine?

[theconnactic]

Maverick, you posted in the right place. Thank you very much!

About your issue, you need to boot with -x. Once in the desktop, erase both the GeforceGLDriverBundle and the GeforceAccelerator. Then you will be able to get to the desktop without -x. Unfortunately this means no QE/CI for now.

The nVidia bug wasn't squashed yet! If you really need QE/CI, i suggest you stay in Lion.

All the best!

For lion which kernel i should use
this my Mountain lion kernel
ok i have on board NVIDIA chipset and graphics too

https://www.dropbox.... AMD KERNEL.rar

[theconnactic]

This is the correct kernel for Mountain Lion, Maverick: the problem is your nVidia card - the kernel hates nVidia graphics!

In the Lion thread, download any new revision of the kernel. I use RC7 for 10.7.5, but Bronzovka made one later, even more stable. I'll find the link for you.

Here: http://www.mediafire...jcxb2dyvxw68lfa

Boot with mach_kernel arch=i386 -v -f npci=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler=Y

i can't get installation screen using those flags which u said
i have to use "-v rd=disk0 ahcidisk=1 debug=8" every time for standup the installation
and this 32 kernel or 64 and does it works on 10.7.5 ?

[theconnactic]

It's for 10.7.5. I sent you the flags i use myself to boot. Once it is installed, i think you'll be able to use them. Boot with arch=i386: the kernel is 32-bit but will run 64-bit apps.

Best regards!

[kaloar]

id like to put any one of these onto mac, hopefully snow leapard to mountain lion. i was told to post here in the amd section for all of them are amd..
ive tried with intel and never got any to work. im in need of a mac for garageband and video editing and i just love the feel of a mac. i would like a guide that can help me without confusing me too much. i know of arch=i386 and what -f -v do when booting and how to partition the hard disk but i need help after that. i can install without adding kexts and screw stuff up but i also can (durring installation) add kexts and have no access to a mac myself. with that hopefully i can get one of these working

Best thing to do would be to search the model numbers of your laptop and motherboards using the search function of the website. This should give a good idea of whether it had been done before/could be done. I'm sure people will answer here, but it might give you a good place to start. Good luck!
