UberFoX Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 My specs are: AMD FX 4100 QuadCore nVidia GTX 550 Ti Asus M5A 78L-M LX V2 8GB Ram SSD HD I'm trying to install anything from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I'm not too fussed I will take any that is willing to work. Obviously I want QE/CI working. I followed this guide: http://www.osx86.net...uccessfull.html I got the Snow Lepoard installer to work I booted to desktop then restarted and I get an instant *black screen* when trying to boot again.... No matter what I do. Even if I install the Combo update and the new kernel I still get a black screen trying to boot (this is with any options (tested everything) including graphicsenenabler=no). So nothing I did would make Snow Lepoard boot BACK to desktop after a restart and -v just goes black screen with no information on what went wrong. So I assume that guide is incompatible with my system. Does anybody have any guide/advance that would match my system specs? I managed to successfully get OSX Mountain Lion working on my laptop as shown here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288862-mountain-lion-hp-pavilion-dv6-7104ea-drivers-help/ But the desktop with its AMD seems like impossible nothing I do seems to work lol. If you have any ideas that would make it work with my specs let me know!

UberFoX Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Try Lion: it will work better. Can your Pandora's Box handle a Lion AMD? (If so does it require any special switches/bios for my hardware?) What would you suggest guide/software/approach wise? With Snow Lepoard I got it to install by setting busratio=20 -force64 colors=32 -v rd(0,0)/Extra/modbin_kernel (of course it never really worked after that beyond the first welcome screen) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288964-help-mountain-lion-amd-fx-4100/#findComment-1920597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
