Hi, sorry for my bad english but i'm Italian.

I would like to install OSX 10.8.** on my PC and i've chosen Niresh's OSX 10.8.2 but, when i start the DVD for installation, after 30-40 second it reboot.

This is a video:

And this is a frame before the reboot: https://dl.dropbox.c...Immagine001.jpg

My HW:

-AMD APU 3870k (This CPU sucks, i know xD)

-Asrock A75 Pro4

-MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2gb

-8Gb di ram (2x4GB) @1600mhz cl8

I've tested the flag:

- "Kernel Cache"=\amd -v arch=x86_64

- -amd arch=x86_64 npci=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler = no -v

After I've tested the Niresh's 10.7.3 v2 and with the flag "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386 -v and this is the result

https://dl.dropbox.c...17 15.04.55.jpg (last written are mine xD)

Adding the flag -legacy the result is a Kernel Panic https://dl.dropbox.c...17 15.40.50.jpg

I've tried to disable USB but it's unnecessary.

Please help me :(

Please help me :(

 

I would like to, but as far as Niresh goes, i know as much as the next guy. Did you try to ask Niresh himself?

 

Can;t you start over with a method like this one - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-mountain-lion-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners/ - you just need to put the amd_kernel of the first post of the topic "Mountain Lion Kernel Testing" in the place of the stock mach_kernel, it should work.

 

All the best!

I still have a usb drive with ML.

I installed it with a program that I can't say in this forum. :D

After installation I put the amd_kernel in the place of stock but doesn't work :(

Well, i wouldn't recommend Voldemort's tools here, they're cursed. :D

 

But since you already have it, try to boot with it with the flags amd_kernel arch=x86_64 npci=0x2000 -f -v and post a picture of where it hangs, if it hangs.

 

Good luck.

If i boot with amd_kernel arch=x86_64 npci=0x2000 -f -v it say amd kernel not found. (On my friend's mac i still have replaced the stock mach_kernel with amd_kernel)

If i boot with arch=x86_64 npci=0x2000 -f -v it say something about framebuffer so i add GraphicsEnabler=no and after few second (at the end of reading HFS+) it reboot :(

Make sure the amd_kernel has this name, amd_kernel. If it's called otherwise, you'll have to rename it.

Of course: it's trying to boot the stock kernel which, surprise!, won't work with AMD.

I don't have the original mach_kernel because i've renamed amd_kernel in mach_kernel, now with Mac Drive (on Windows, i don't have a Mac) I put in the usb drive the amd_kernel, right?

EDIT: It reboot... :(

maybe your bootloader is the problem

 

 

since you have the latest version of AMD, try one of these options:

 

- if you're using Chameleon, you may try sinetek's kernel

 

- but if you want to run the osx with AnV's kernel, then I suggest you to install the Clover as your bootloader

I have a PC with Windows 7, how can I do that?

http://wiki.osx86pro...Patched_Kernels

My CPU don't support SSSE3, so i can't use the Sinetek's kernel, right?

No: that means Apple didn't make OSX for AMD CPUs (or non-Apple hardware, by the way). :D

 

But that doesn't mean you should throw in the towel: post a picture of the kernel panic here.

 

Best regards!

 

 

 

Do you have the RAID option? Use it: RAID usually implies AHCI.

Nope, there are no SATA mode options whatsoever...

If its your PC your trying this on then you have a similar motherboard to me with the nForce chipset. Install the attached kext to System/Library/Extensions and try booting again.

Thanks, ill try that on the Desktop, but sadly, im actually trying to get it to work on my laptop right now as thats my main device currently...

You could try it on your laptop aswell. HP site doesn't mention the chipset used but most HP / Compaq seem to be nForce.

1st option: copy the kernel using transmac / macdrive

 

2nd one: it requires virtual-osx (vmware / vbox) ;)

 

EDIT:

 

sinetek's kernel supports both SSSE3 native & emu ( https://meklort.com/~sinet3k/ )

"good news"!(?)

If i boot with fx_kernel, arch=x86_64, GraphicsEnabler=no, -v the pc don't reboot, but it does a Kernel Panic...
