DarkAeon Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Here are my specs. Mother Board: Asus m5A78L-m CPU: AMD FX-4350 RAM: 8GB I just noticed that they released an FX processor kernel for the FX (piledrivers) I first tried using Niresh version which had custom kernels for AMD installed, and tried using both bootflags in Niresh's tutorial. only the legacy / compatability mode amd kernels would get it to the next stage of the install (sorry i do not remember the boot flags off the top of my head, I lost my main HDD yesterday with all my data so i'm trying to get OSX working for a fresh start and new beginning) it would kernel panic while loading the installer files, and after a few retries it would just auto reboot without the kernel panic. I was using a compatible video card which i purchased just for running OSX. My question is, how do I load up the downloaded fx piledriver kernel for the install. Would I have to put it in the folder with other amd kernels in Niresh's install? Or use a thumb drive or something? That is what I am unsure about at the moment. Or if there is a new test distro out which has FX piledriver kernels added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aju Deeju Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Rename the kernel "mach_kernel" without quotes & place the kernel in the root of the installation media and continue nortmally with the install. Your kernel should load up now... Cheers Akatsuki777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAeon Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 oh so I would place the kernel on the root of the installation media, meaning the install disk or usb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
