djwappy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ok, After searches and searches to install lion on my Pentium 4 i was about to give up on it due to the fact that 99% of the topics said it is IMPOSSIBLE. So i installed it on my AMD machine again, then i went on a search for a Lion AMD kernel without the xpchelper bug, i installed the kernel but imidiatly had a reboot, since i had SL on my second partition i thought to revert the kernel change on the pentium 4, i didnt watch chameleon a second and guess what happened? a old pentium 4 is running Lion ... for those interested in this ... install lion on a machine that installs it without issues , then install this kernel : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/65-amd-kernel/ (YES it is a AMD kernel, seems our great developers unlocked more then they thought ;-) ) here is the proof video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW9cg1LCCZA Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292382-old-pentium-4-32ghz-running-lion-1073/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 If it's a last-generation S775 "Presler" Pentium 4, I believe you can use an unpatched kernel if you use Chameleon's kernelpatcher module. Try it and see. I don't know if the kernelpatcher requires the kernel to be named mach_kernel. If it does, then rename your patched kernel, then set kernel=patched_kernel (or whatever you name it) in your org.chameleon.Boot.plist, just in case. Then simply drop mach_kernel at root, dump the kernel patcher module in /Extra/Modules and boot up with kernel=mach_kernel to try if it works.

djwappy Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 i have the kernel in my plist the reason i type it there is that to the time of the recording i booted from usb which for some reason ignores it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292382-old-pentium-4-32ghz-running-lion-1073/#findComment-1950607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
