didair Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hello! I'm a Hackintosh newbie but i after a while managed to install Niresh's AMD Mac OSX 10.7.3 but when i try booting i get stuck at the grey screen (no apple logo) and after a while it looks like this: http://fiskbugg.se/fb/img_01031.jpg (Had to link it the uploader didn't cooperate) I Now boot it with: "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386 -v The same thing happens when i try w/out -v Any suggestions? Or is it anyone that already have solved this problem? Specs: AMD FX-8150 ATI Radeon HD4870 1x 4GB Corsair RAM (Took out one stick) Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285635-booting-trouble-mac-osx-1073-nireshs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm sorry but that didn't work. Thanks for the quick reply.

M83 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Try GraphicsEnabler=NO -x if it doesn't work try with the other connector of the graphics card Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285635-booting-trouble-mac-osx-1073-nireshs/#findComment-1880556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
didair Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Try GraphicsEnabler=NO -x if it doesn't work try with the other connector of the graphics card Nope, still no luck. I'm getting pissed at this. y u no work Combinations I have tried: "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386 -v "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386 "Kernel Cache"=\amd -x and or -v (Got stuck at Apple logo) "Kernel Cache"=\amd GraphicsEnabler=Yes / No (Got stuck at Apple logo) "Kernel Cache"=\amd GraphicsEnabler=Yes / No -x and or -v (Got stuck at Apple logo) Also I have tried all these combinations in both the Chimera bootloader and when booting from the DVD and selecting the HDD. So I think you can understand I'm getting a bit frustrated..

eep357 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Are you certain this Niresh thing offers working AMD kernel? I have never seen this boot flag "Kernel Cache"=\amd but would make a lot more sense if it were written as Kernel Cache="amd" Why double quote the command and then use a \ to escape a space before the variable name? And even then it would be "Kernel Cache"= \amd with a space after the = just observation, never used this on AMD so way your doing it maybe right you will never boot from the retail DVD without a patched AMD kernel included in the bootloader. I hope you realize AMD is not supported and takes additional efforts to get working and will always require a patched kernel be used and it must be specific to the OS revision # Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285635-booting-trouble-mac-osx-1073-nireshs/#findComment-1880594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you realize AMD is not supported and takes additional efforts to get working and will always require a patched kernel be used and it must be specific to the OS revision # Hi thanks for the answer! Niresh's build includes a AMD kernel and I am muc aware that AMD os not supported by default. I have no idea if you are right about the command but i used it to boot the installer DVD and install sucessfully. I am currently re installing and was just wondering if i maybe should skip installing the Chimera bootloader? When I get a grip off this whole Hackintosh thing I will seriously make my own AMD pack. :-) P.S im on my iPad sorry for crappy writing.

didair Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I fixed it! Re installed my mac and im now running it with: UseKernelCache=amd arch=i386 It starts in notime and all apps like Safari and Finder pop up like a bolt. Now i only need to fix my screen res and network drivers... EDIT: I changed my screen resolution in the control panel and it works fine! but how do I install the drivers? I know i included them when I installed Mac OS Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285635-booting-trouble-mac-osx-1073-nireshs/#findComment-1880721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
