mitkid Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi, I'm trying to install Mountain Lion on this machine: AMD Sempron 145 2.8 GHz Single Core Processor 6 GB RAM MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6450 1 GB DDR3 PCI-E 450W PSU 250 GB HDD *I know, it's amazing* The progress: Sound worked OOB (onchip) Snow Leopard 10.6.3 running with legacy_kernel through ModCD So the problems: No QE/CI, rocking on 1024x768 through HDMI but I think this will get fixed when I get 10.8 No ethernet, which i think will come when I actually get 10.8 to work (Realtek RTL 8167) When starting a sort of installed version of Mountain Lion it just restarts after the bootloader, probably cause of the kernel. Kexts: I'm open to try anything so give me suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitkid Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Before starting the instalation of SL on my machine I wanted to be sure that I can use QE/CI on ML and this video gave me hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gils83 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 uh? you did not really understand the problem is not the graphics card, it is your AMD CPU, get CI/QE course but with artifacts. So you have to go in 10.7 i386 , ok !? http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1499290 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=lpm0scn6fL0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitkid Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Well I don't know if that will make any difference.. but I got AMD Radeon HD 3000 onchip... Also I don't know what is my best option. To run Lion on i386 or to run SL. Actually am I able to run this graphics card with that said with QE/CI anyway? EDIT: Following your guide, do I need NullCPUPowerManagement.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
