Mavericks kernel testing on AMD (formerly Mountain Lion kernel testing on AMD)

[instant idiot]

I just posted a notification over on InfiniteMac, since I gather the more testers the better: http://osx86.co/f102...ocessors-t7930/

[Mohamed Khairy]

thanks for this good news

[AkimoA]

looks like im loaded just no gui yet that is with 10.8.2 and some kexts from 10.8.

i might have to do a wipe and start from scratch since im kinda loosing track ...!! lol

[mac_carol]

FYI,

the kernel won't work with ML-10.8.2 !!!

you will get the AppleACPIPlatform panic ---> it's the same issue as osx86 Intel's

 

Google: 10.8.2 appleacpiplatform problem

 

 

I've already tried to roll back the AppleACPIPlatform.kext and also the system.kext with the older ones from ML-10.8.0

but the same KP still occurs

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

Sinetek's 12.0.0 kernel still can be used (compatible) with the osx ML-10.8.2 (12C54)

[AkimoA]

well i rolled back a couple more kexts it didnt panic

 

but also didnt boot the gui as u can see

 

im just starting from scratch now

[mac_carol]

maybe you can try to remove all video kexts (nvidia, amd/ati, intel)

don't forget to remove the ApplePolicyControl.kext

 

 

and an antivirus is not really necessary for Mac yet

@Sinetek: any chance we could get the diff please?

I'd love to make a 10.8.2 kernel with your patches and ours...

I'll also mod the kernel name to SinetekBronzovkAnVoodoo. You deserve it

[Shaneee]

Congrats Sinetek and everyone involved. Keep it up. Waiting on Athlon fix now

I do think we need to make sure that each time a kernel is released we get patches. Legally the APSL requires it and I made the mistake of not releasing patches when hacking on the Chameleon bootloader. I was asked nicely but firmly by the team to ensure all patches were published at the time binaries were released.

true that with that AV but it was a Clone and it was on there ....

IMO patches aren't necessary for every release, just when a nice milestone is achieved (like AMD on ML booting). No need to release patch for 1 different printf etc.

I'm also going to give a gift here later today...

To celebrate I'm going to give 40 redeem codes for my app store apps later today to make 40 people happy.

You may or may not know them:

- PPF-O-Matic 4.5.0

- PPF-O-Maker 4.5.0

- AnVCrypto 1.0

Use 1 redeem code of each per person please

[AkimoA]

 

Finaly fixed the mess in my head and posting Another Winner .....Very Good Job Guys

 

...still having artifical Grafik squares with a 5770 full detected now and then ....BUT IM IN GUI thats all that matters at the moment i guess

[Andy Vandijck]

Here you go...

1 of each per person please...

My new year gift... 40 redeem codes of my apps...

To celebrate the new kernel

They work on SL and above BTW...

Just hope we get 40 people within 60 days the codes are that long valid... redeem while you can (best immediately)

PPF-O-Maker_4.5.0_20121231045539.txt

PPF-O-Matic_4.5.0_20121231045737.txt

AnVCrypto_1.00_20121231050153.txt

[SS01]

First of all, a huge thank you to everybody. AnV, thanks for your codes, now if only your apps fixed the "unknown error has occured"!

 

Second of all, could the people who got to a working desktop please detail how they did it?

 

Third of all, could someone please upload a 10.8.2 kernel? The current kernel cannot be used by those like me who didn't buy Mountain Lion until the .2 update.

 

Again, thanks to all, and most importantly I wish everyone a happy new year!

[AkimoA]

Second of all, could the people who got to a working desktop please detail how they did it?

 

offcourse :

 

1st try was with myhack 10.8.1 Installer + added corecrypto.kext and latest Kernel ....Booted into Grey Screen and got CPU halted when launchd was started ..... couldnt fix that !!

 

 

2nd try was with a clone from MBP 10.8.2 rollback from IOPCIPlatform.kext ACPIPlatformKext and IOAHCIFamily.kext same kext and kernel as from above (10.8.0 + corecrypto) loaded the OS but no gui

 

3rd try installed on intel box with myhack 10.8.1 with one of the latest Bootloaders normal important 64 bit kexts DSDT from SL replaced corecrypto + latest kernel booted verbose npci=0x2000 ignored cache and BAM !

 

and yeah Happy NEW Year to all !

[SS01]

Thanks, Akimoa! so you weren't able to get to desktop on an AMD system?

[Science]

Alright, so i'm able to boot ( -v npci=0x300 ), but it will stop at a white screen with the mouse cursor on it, which i can move tho... From time to time it disappears and reappears again..

I tried GraphicsEnabler=No as well as PCIRootUID=1.

CPU = X4 965, GPU = ATI Radeon HD 6970

[AkimoA]

yes of course thats where the screenshot is from but i had to install on intel and swap kernel and corecrypto after the install in there ,in order to boot the drive in the AMD box

Try

GraphicsEnabler=Yes AtiConfig=Pithecia

I believe Pithecia is the 6000 series framebuffer...

Edit: oh yeah... I remember installing on an AMD 6000 series pc.

Had to move the ATI*.kext files from /S/L/E into another folder. Install and then from OS X add them manually. It worked then...

[ham4ever]

thank u senetik for the kernel ( waiting athlon )

thank Anv for patching and all hard work

thank deltac for testing , theconnactic , spakk ,LitZ sHane , and rest who are not didnt mentioned

Well legally you do with the APSL, but let's make sure we get this when everyone is happy with the final result. Has anyone thought of setting up something on say GitHub so it can be easily retrieved plus allow some co-operation?

 

Also I just want to say what great work this is, and fantastic progress thanks to those dedicated to getting this working.

[Science]

I'm using 10.8 on a USB using myHack. GPU is still HD 6970

After some testing i can say:

Fresh 10.8 with corecrypto and the kernel -> stuck on white screen where i can move the mouse but it will dis- and reappear from time to time.

Without ATI kext's -> goes till bluetooth something and just sits there doing nothing. No GUI, just the white text.

Without ATi kext's and GraphicsEnabler=No -> gray screen with movable mouse, wich switches to a black screen with a little white rectangle in the top back to gray and so on

[byransays]

theconnactic is it possible for you to edit your first post with the new kernel and the corecrypto kext? it would make file downloading much easier (I cant seem to find anv's Corecrypto.kext) or is it just a simple 10.8.2 version of the kext?

[theconnactic]

If someone links me both, i'll do it now!
