shaggymane Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I use Qemu in linux to load Mac OSX and I do it with Conroe processor support . I have an AMD FX 8350 and the Conroe profile works without a hitch. I can load the Intel kernels without a problem. I dont need to use patched kernels. question: is there a way to make a bootloader use this Conroe profile to load an un-patched kernel on a regular machine? Maybe this is something new ? I dont know. altering clover to make you AMD FX machine look like a Conroe might be easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaeuser Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 From the QEMU site: 'QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator'. It is emulating the SSE instructions afaik, which is just what the AMD kernel is doing. Simple name spoofing won't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 For testing purpose I install QEMU 2.2 and boot it by Clover. It is the fast and safe way for testing Clover. QEMU can be started with SeaBIOS by legacy Clover or with OVMF by UEFI Clover. I know nothing about AMD FX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggymane Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 for the life of me tho I cant get El Capitan to work with Qemu. keep getting errors about not seeing the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duran Keeley Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hey shaggymane, Is it while booting eg something like this? Can't find kernel in System\Library\Kernels\kernel. If so the method you are using on the installer doesn't place the kernel in the directory, manual extract it and place it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggymane Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 yah I put kernel in the right spot.... does El Capitan not support Conroe processors? or MAc-Pro to be precise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a crash I need to change this to a Conroe xeon 3000 series but I am unsure as to what numbers to put in to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
