Got there by using the kexts provided by gils83 in his Yo.zip archive. I need to identify source/origin of the kexts to understand things better. I did this in a rush so more analysis required to identify if it's a specific kext that fixed the KP or if it's the whole combination.

 

The main thing for me was to remain on Bronya's kernel 14.0.0 RC7 and I did, so things looking good on that front.

Edit: in the end, it proved to be the pthread kext I had to replace, nothing else (except the IOPCIFamily kext of course, to keep graphics going on my 9800GT). Vanilla pthread kext systematically causes KP. Strange as I never had to replace this kext until now. I'm not sure of the origin of the kext from gils83's Yo.zip archive, presumably Tora Chi Yo's.

 

Yes :)

Hi guys!

 

First of all thanks for the hard work on developing and supporting AMD os x kernels  :thumbsup_anim: !

 

I've installe 10.10.1 (niresh) Yosemite Zone on my A8 5600k + R9 270x. After update to 10.10.3 via appstore I've applied the 14D113c zip via transmac and rebooted to chameleon. Everything works there, fixed the caches and permissions. But in clover it does boot but get "Sandbox ..... deny" messages spamming and won't but. Tried the other popular kernel here and recommended kexts (AppleACPIPlatform.kext IOPCIFamily.kext IOUSBFamily.kext IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext kernel pthread.kext) but no luck. Any ideas?!

 

P.S. have a E350 + 6670HD -> works under 10.10.1 very fine with full graphics support.

yo.zip

 

This worked like a charm for 10.10.3, with one minor caveat.

 

The rollback IOPCIFamily.kext causes a kernel panic when Mieze's RealtekRTL8111 driver is loaded. YMMV, but I restored the 10.10.3 IOPCIFamily.kext and everything works well. I'm using version 2.0.0d1 of RealtekRTL8111.kext from here.

 

My computer specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3

CPU: AMD FX-6300

GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 760

 

It should also be noted that all of my USB devices work as well (Blue Snowball, Logitech G930 headset, Logitech K360 keyboard, Logitech M510 mouse).

 

If you don't have a Windows partition, you can actually do this fairly easily.

 

1. Copy the kexts from Yo.zip to /Extra/Extensions (if using Chameleon, Clover users need to do it the Clover way)

2. Copy the kernel from Yo.zip to /kernel (not /S/L/K/kernel just yet)

3. Repair permissions (if you used Kext Wizard for step 1 you can skip this step)

4. Install 10.10.3 combo update and reboot

5. At the boot loader (again if using Chameleon, Clover users you're on your own here), type "/kernel" followed by whatever flags you need to boot

6. At this stage, Mac OS X will rebuild the Kext Cache automatically as part of the update process. It may reboot once, in which case do the previous step again

7. Once the system is booted completely, move /kernel to /S/L/K/kernel, overwriting the 10.10.3 stock kernel

8. Repair permissions again, and reboot

9. Profit!

hello guys i need your help

i want to install Yosemite in my PC

Amd Fx 8350

Asus M5a97 r.20

8gb A DATA Ram

Nvidea GT 740

 

i installed Yosemite 10.10.1 succesfully but without Graphics mine GT 740 Not working any solution ?

With graphic cards issues you have to ask for help in the graphic cards thread, not in this thread. This is only for kernel issues.

hello

i upgraded from 10.10.1 to 10.10 .3 using the combo update

i renamed the installed kernel on reboot to kernel.old and put rv8n there and replace kthead.kext also

on boot with -v -f  i get a fast scrolling invalid opcode ....trap cant get it right cos they are very fast

 

CPu is a AMD x4 9950 black edition 

 

what i do is this kernel not compatible with my cpu?

 

thank you

gils83, if you don't mind I'd like to both mirror that ZIP and create a dedicated 10.10.3 update thread

i tried for the second time and got this 

now it looks like the kernel and the kext dont play along

 

both are from gils83 zip file

 

any info 

 

That smells strongly of a permissions issue. Did you repair permissions etc after installing the kernel and kexts?

 

On a related note, while my 10.10.3 system is running smoothly (even Final Cut Pro X works without a hitch!), I'm noticing an odd kernel hiccup on boot. Screenshot attached. My CPU is an AMD FX-6300.

invalid kernel opcode (64-bit): 3f 7e 40 00 80 ff ff ff 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
invalid kernel opcode (64-bit): 3f 7e 40 00 80 ff ff ff 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
invalid kernel opcode (64-bit): 3f 7e 40 00 80 ff ff ff 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Removed all help related topics.

 

Another quick note, while it's great that you can get 10.10.3 working please note that currently 10.10.0 is still the official supported kernel version of OS X 10.10 on AMD, opcode code error's started happening when systems were upgraded past the point of 10.10.1 if I remember correctly.

i will boot up with usb and repair disk permitions i think i already did that but wont hurt doing again

 

Duran Keeley i know that just for the sake of testing that kernel on my 9950 x4 amd since its not a FX maybe thats the problem also

 

thank you to all involved in this kernel someone as to try it ;)
