djwappy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I Sucesfully installed Lion 10.7.3 on This AMD Hardware, My Specs: Mobo: F2A55-M LE Processor: AMD F2 3,2 Dual Core Ram: 4GB Corsair DDR3 HDD: 1TB Western Digital Green Drive S-ATA Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GT216 1GB DVD: LG DVD-R S-ATA Preparation: Download Niresh12495-Lion-10.7.3-V2.iso (google is your friend) Download RealtekRTL81xx-0_0_90.pkg Download Finder.app DP2 Download Chimera Bootloader Download unpkg Save all this on a USB Thumb Drive Install Procedure on Empty HDD: Burn the iso to a DVD on Slowest Speed Boot from DVD press f8 on Boot Screen and type this: "Kernel Cache"=\amd arch=i386 -v wait around 5-10 Minutes for the installer to load Go into DiskUtility and Partition your HDD as GUID and HFS+ Journaled Go Back in the installer and Hit Next. On Customize Select the following Options: Kernel: AMD Bootloader: Chimera Graphics: natit Now install After installation boot again from DVD into the installation CD and Select your fresh installation, boot flags are: arch=i386 npci=0x3000 -v wait for the OS to load when you are in your OSX follow these Steps: Run unpkg from your Thumb Drive and extract the chimera boot loader now copy the file boot1h from the chimera folder located in /usr/standalone/i386/ to your Thumb Drive and reboot boot back in your installer and run the Following Steps in this order: open up the installer terminal and run these commands: cd /Volumes/<name of your Thumb Drive here> (for me it was NO Name) rm -R -f /Volumes/<name of your Install HDD for example "Lion")/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/ cp -R -f Finder.app /Volumes/<name of your Install HDD for example "Lion")/System/Library/CoreServices/ Now Exit Terminal and Go into DiskUtility and unmount your install hdd partition. Go back into your Terminal. cd /Volumes/<name of your Thumb Drive here> run diskutil list and find your install partition for example disk2s1 for me now run dd if=boot1h of=/dev/diskXsX (where diskXsX is enter your partition for example disk2s1) reboot now you should be able to boot into your OSX with the following boot flags: arch=i386 -legacy npci=0x3000 -v (sometimes the boot hangs simply restart the boot process) End Steps: Install RealtekRTL81xx-0_0_90.pkg Find a modified applehda.kext for audio and most important to avoid de xpchelper bug run in a terminal these commands 1) Wait for xpchelper to crash 2) Open terminal and type these in: "sudo su" "cd /private/var/folders" "find /private/var/folders/ -type f | grep -i com.apple.xpchelper.cache" 3) cd to the first one that shows up on the list (it will be in a separate folder from the other xpchelper caches) "rm -r com.apple.xpchelper.cache" "pico com.apple.xpchelper.cache" ---> hit ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit "chflags uchg com.apple.xpchelper.cache" 4) Reboot and you're done! This is not my work Simply the process i used.
