uridi0t Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi, new to InsanelyMac. I never had Mac OS experience and wish to try it on my PC. My PC is not branded desktop. The following are the config. of my PC. AMD Bulldozer FX-6100 Asus M5A88-M motherboard 4GB x 2 of DDR3-1333 Ram WD 500GB SATA HDD I use the HDMI video port on motherboard for video output. Can someone tell me which version of Mac OS could be install on my PC so I can taste Mac? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes it's possible but you'll only be able to go as high as Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as there is no AMD support for Lion.

uridi0t Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi, I happened to installed iATKOS_S3v2 10.6.3 on my PC finally. However, I am getting reboot loop right after the first reboot. What would be the problem and can someone tell me what to do now? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Boot with -v and try to catch the panic. Take a photo and post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uridi0t Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 The problem comes when I restarted the computer. Upon booting up, the chameleon bootloader fires up & then restarts within a second or 2 of the Apple screen popping up. I am not experienced enough with this type of thing to know what I am really doing or how to get screenshots of error messages (none are visible) and then keeps rebooting over and over. I also tried the cpu=1 / cup=2 but still geting reboot loop. Am I missing somethings? Boot with -v and try to catch the panic. Take a photo and post it here.

Foxic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 What do you mean by 'the Apple screen popping up.'? Boot with -v, this will print the output of the boot process to the monitor so you can see what's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kand Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 try boot options -v and a new one: busratio=xx xx is a 2 digit value. try from 15 to 25 or you can google ur amd's busratio. It's different for every cpu model and definitely different from intel cpus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
