Lordadmiral Drake Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 For me it boots but the stops doing stuff at the line: BSD root: disk2s2, major 14, minor 6 Still running though as I can type stuff on USB keyboard. I booted with: mach_kernel_amd USBBusFix=Yes -x -v -s and mach_kernel_amd -x -f -s Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277290-amd-lion-kernel/page/2/#findComment-1809902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in my case where the modbin_kernel won't get me above 10.6.4 I can't update through SL. Am I screwed?

EvilMacMongo Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 doesn't work with the bulldozer cpu. keeps restarting, I don't think anybody running a new bulldozer chip has gotten anything above 10.6.4 running.

PookyMacMan Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Also, remember that this is NOT an x86_64 kernel - it is only i386, meaning that the kernel needs to be updated to allow for the -force64 flag. That's why Finder doesn't work. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277290-amd-lion-kernel/page/2/#findComment-1810070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

danageis Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 kind of off topic (and not sure how much I'm allowed to say on these forums) but today there was a 10.7.3 distro. released by a reputable user on a few torrent sites that contains the AMD kernel. Has anybody tested it on an AMD system yet? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277290-amd-lion-kernel/page/2/#findComment-1810910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I would personally wait until the kernel is perfected to install Lion. Otherwise you will run into many problems. See my PM, BTW.

Unrealized^ Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It does indeed work but it has several flaws. 1) It is 32-bit, which means you cannot run Finder on it (yet) 2) xpchelper crashes and ReportCrash eats all the CPU. 3) After a while apps stop opening. No idea why. 4) It doesn't support Installations, you need a real mac or a distro in order to install it.

PookyMacMan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hey Unrealized, nice to see ya. 1) This is only for SSE3-only CPUs. Those with SSSE3 don't have to worry about it. 2) Gosh that's hard... 3) My, my... 4) Hopefully when I can get Xcode up and running again I can compile the kernel for the other releases.

Unrealized^ Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hey Unrealized, nice to see ya. Nice to see you too I hope someone writes an SSSE3 emulator, I think it isn't that hard after all to do. I made a lot of crash dumps about the xpchelper on osx86.co, hope someone takes a look at them. 32-bit Finder from DP2 works pretty well (just tried).

PookyMacMan Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Actually, meklort told me that the SSSE3 instructions are all in the commpage - meaning that one has to simply convert the SSSE3 instructions to SSE3. An on-the-fly emulator is not needed. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277290-amd-lion-kernel/page/2/#findComment-1811839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

An on-the-fly emulator is not needed. Heh, That's nifty. Now I'm wondering why no one does it? Myself I would be pretty happy with a 32-bit lion install as well (because I could use the Finder from DP2). Well, There is always hope..

PookyMacMan Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It's because the commpage is written in assembly, not Objective-C or C. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277290-amd-lion-kernel/page/2/#findComment-1811865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Dunno if he developed it yet, but... This kernel is more of a beta test. I would only recommend it if you are the type to help find bugs/fix bugs, not necessarily if you are an end user.
