mrjayviper Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 hello. I'm new to the hackintosh scene but not with OSX (currently have 2 MBPRs running mavericks). I do have a AMD FX81xx (gigabyte 990fx board + nvidia gt610 video card + 128SSD + 2x HDD + 16GB RAM) setup. I found a guide on how to install OSX on my AMD setup but I'm not sure which kernel to use. I've found these sites with kernel downloads: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Patched_Kernels http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/category/6-kernels/ The guide I was looking at mentioned Bronya's kernel. But unsure if this is the best to use as the insanelymac link has no mention of this. Can you please suggest which kernel is the best to use (i.e. most stable)? thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 For the guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285627-guida-installazione-mountain-lion-su-amd/ Use google translate... See attached files at the end of tutorial; instead of using the method described can use Pandora to create the USB stick, at the end you will need to replace the kernel with AMD kernel, when you have updated to 10.8.5 you will need to replace it with the kernel of Bronya. The 10.8.5 is very stable using Bronya's kernel Merry Christmas and Good Hack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjayviper Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm stuck on the apple logo. It just keeps on spinning. :/ well I believe I have followed the steps correctly even with the horrid Google translation. Except for DSDT (can't find the correct one for my motherboard), I think I've set it up correctly. edit1: what if my ML installation is already 10.8.5? I suppose I can use Bronya's kernel immediately (this is what I did). edit2: I turned on verbose during boot, and I'm getting a com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort failed to load error, LOADS of USB error and then followed by "still waiting for root device". edit3: I changed SATA settings to native IDE and the AppleAHCIPort error disappeared but still getting "waiting for root device".

Dontview Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Boot with kernel flag -v and post the "Error" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjayviper Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Boot with kernel flag -v and post the "Error" I might add that my DVD burner + 1 SDD + 2 HDD are connected to the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Set sata to AHCI mode, reboot with -v -f npci=0x2000 (or 0x3000) If your version of ML is 10.8.5 use Bronya's kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjayviper Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 thanks for the suggestions. 1st install, I added the kexts below using Kext Wizard - AppleATIATA - fakesmb - nullcpupowermanagement Successfully installed OSX but won't boot. I tried -v during bootup but it just gives me a blank screen. 2nd install: - same as the 1st plus AppleACPIPlatform Same results as 1st try. I also tried native IDE/AHCI which makes no difference. Any more ideas? thanks! I appreciate the help edit1: just tried -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 (which work during install) without any luck. edit2: same as edit1 except I tried npci=0x3000 this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjayviper Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 This is the last stuff displayed on my screen before it goes blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjayviper Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thanks to those who helped. In the end, I fixed my problem by copying the mach_kernel to my desktop. seems the install scripts doesn't install the mach_kernel I used on the USB stick.
