Thread: [GUIDE] OS X 10.6 on AMD

Hi, Thanks for the guide it's great.

However I'm having problems, after selecting the OS X install DVD the process stops with the following lines of text:

MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
IOAPIC: Version ox21 vectors 64:87


It stops at the same point everytime, does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks.


My hardware specs are:
MB: ASUS M4A87TD/USB3
AMD Athlon II x6 1055t
Nvidia GTX 460
8GB (2x4gb OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 1333MHz)

Try with this flag's > cpus=1 Maxmem=2048 arch=i386 -v

Also, some people that uses GTX460 have some issues during the OS X install...

If you have another Video card or if your MOBO have OnBoard video, try only the install
without the GTX460...

And if you got any freeze or Kernel Panic, take a picture of the entire screen and place here...

You hardware is a bit different...

Anyway, you alredy tryed what CDBoot's ???

nawcom's ModCD 0.3.1 and USB version, BootCD 1.5, BootCD 1.6 .. quite all out there :-)
I believe the 8xx chipsets with 850 SouthBridge are not supported.

Edit:

Now I will try install OSX from another PC to a HDD .. install an AMD kernel and all Kexts I find and hope it will work.

Why you don't try iboot Legacy (must be Legacy) ???

Is there anyway to check that before installation...?

I checked it by installing with the same stick on another PC there it worked just fine. :-)

Because

YOU WILL NEED

A computer running an Intel Processor
A blank CD
A Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD
....

so I don't think it will work on AMD processors ?

The focus is the Kernel...

I have almost sure that works...
