Andy Vandijck Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Is it not possible to modify the files needed? If a person gets ML installed but experiences graphics problems, they could install a package for the files. It is possible ofcourse but I'll have to look into it when I have a lot of time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could learn all the code easily enough I would be helping lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinetek Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 But how could one get around this? There is always a litte delay when he needs to calculate, or do you think that, if you decrease the delay time, it might work? Or is it possible to find the ssse calls in the kext's and (don't know if this is possible, i'm ot a developer ) reroute them to sse? Oh, I tried that already. I patched all the critical system binaries by hand to reroute the SSSE3 and removed the opemu. The system crashes in precisely the same manner. Well, what I'm left with is the idea to try Mountain Lion DP1 and it's 32-bit kexts. I was going to try it, but the image I downloaded is corrupted :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Marcsen Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 ok, tried to search the web for ati kext's from dp1 and found nothing. but i try to get hands on dp1 edit: maybe someone in the forums has got a dp1 and could upload a few kexts? would go faster Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879926 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Marcsen Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 excellent so what do we need? i don't know. could you make zip files? one with all the ati stuff, one with all the nvidia stuff. and what else do we need..... sinetek?! edit: but can one run those kexts if they are 32bit or are they 32/64? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaneee Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 No luck with my GT 430. Stops soon after loading NVDAGF100Hal and the NTFS drivers. Using GraphicsEnabler=No it boots but no native resolution or QE/CI. Also it only detects a 3MB GPU instead of the 1GB GT 430 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMadOne Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 well I guess I dont need to try then.. that is pretty much the same result I have received using the lion kext's Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Marcsen Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ok, here is my result: copied over all the ati files to /s/l/e, fixed permission and restart. 1. boot: normal boot, boots straight to desktop, no qe/ci. 2. boot: tried with GraphicsEnabler=Yes AtiCofig="Hoolock" got a black screen. can login, but no picture. 3. boot: GE=Yes black screen, login works. then i pluged in my vga monitor and disconnected the dvi one. got my screen with wrong resolution and no qe/ci. also i noticed that my good old device in slot 1 message is back at least there's no kp. let's see if i can do more Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinetek Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 we need a kernel at the very least. Could you upload /usr/lib/dyld and /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib please?

SS01 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Shane, the Fermi cards aren't supported anyway, so that's not much to go off of. The 6xx cards will need graphicsenabler=no.

Mad Marcsen Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 So i tried a bit and could't get my 5670 to work. that does not mean it generally doesn't work. maybe someoe with another radeon should try that (like SS01 mentioned). i'm too sick, going to sleep now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1879977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkimoA Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 almost certain the kexts he uploaded are very equal to 10.7.5 prob. are cause the new AMDRadeonAccelerator is missing since they behave very similar to my test with the lion kexts ...

theconnactic Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi, Andy and all! Well, for the moment, i think we all either buy ATI cards (the ones that are reportedly working, because there are some that don't) or stay with Snow Leopard until a fix for nVidia is available (my case - i'll keep my Mountain Lion partition, since it's a reminder of the awesome work done here, but it's unusable for my purposes, since my AMD machine is also my HTPC). Best regards!

PookyMacMan Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hey all, some info: This thread's kinda getting out of hand. So I'm going to split off general OS discussion from kernel discussion, by OS. If I accidentally put a post about one operating system in another OS's thread, just shoot me a PM. Glad to see progress made. Finally salvaged a new old machine (hehe), so I'll test how everything works on a Pentium D. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mavericks-kernel-testing-on-amd-formerly-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd/page/60/#findComment-1880279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VVlasy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Ok, so it seems 10.8.2 seems to not work with any kernel on FX CPUs... Instant reboot after loading kernels.... I remember back about 1 month i had to manually set the cpu ratio flag by: "busratio=15" But it does nothing now, not on AnV nor on Sinetek... Could some of you skilled devs look into it?
