Thread: [GUIDE] OS X 10.6 on AMD

Can some one help me with my amd x6 system please. http://www.osx86.net/10-6-snow-leopa...amd-x6-pc.html

Works with GeForece 6150 SE nForce 430 Integrated video? I have tried all can be possible on this integrated videocard. That chipset works fine everything except video (sometimes don't display nothing) in 10.5 & 10.6 with an 8600 GT but she is death.
Solution?

Nope, that chip isn't supported. Your 8600GT is perfect supported, but your problem is that it is death..

Hi,

Have a problem.

My HW:

CPU Phenom II X4 965
MB ASUS M4A77TD
RAM 16gb
GFX Radeon HD6770

After installing works normally when was booting from BootCD (ModCD 0.32), but when I'd installed Chameleon is crashing when booting from hdd.

Running fsck on the boot volume...
/dev/rdisk0s2: Can't initialize disk cache

/dev/rdisk0s2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck_hfs MANUALLY.
/dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
** /dev/rdisk0s2
Can't initialize disk cache
/dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
fsck failed!
Kext Loading now disabled.
Kext unloading now disabled.
Kext Autounloading now disabled.
Kernel requests now disabled.
Can't get kextd port.

continuing
syncing disks... Killing all processes done
CPU halted; It's now safe to turn off your computer

After this the computer automatically just shuts down.

Still there's no problem with booting with ModCD

What am I doing wrong?

- edit:

In "This Mac" it's RAM 2GB information so I suppose that in ModCD's bootloader default Maxmem is 2048. But, I want to use all of my 16GB's. Also in "More informaion" I see that there's no 64bit kernel ("no")

can i force 64bit mode, arch=i386 is in bootflags so some apps dont work unless im on 64bit mode

update: i've updated sl to 10.6.8, still the same. i've tried probably all bootflags in all possible configuration. it doesn't work as well. Now I'm stupid and upset .

idk whats giving HDD sync problem, but i faced chameleon issue too and it was because of legacy kernel which i forgot to install after combo update. So have u installed legacy kernel for amd, its attached in the guide!

Yep buddy, I'd installed that. Even sleepenabler for 10.6.8. I've triend everything as I wrote (bios settings, bootflags, unmounting ram, unmounting second hdd, even changing graphic card to HD5780 - brought by my friend at about 3 am).

Hi, I tried following this guide but I got stuck at step 2) Getting to the installer and preparing your hard drive.

I disconnected my SSD where Windows is installed on.

First boot device: CD/DVD
Second boot device: my HDD (it has about 300GB of files on it but I made a partition called 'OS X' which is 150GB big)

I burned the Nawcom's ModCD (This one: OSX86_ModCD-032311-151021) on an empty DVD-R.

I put the DVD-R in my optical drive and rebooted, I configured the BIOS correctly (SATA-mode to AHCI and standy mode was already S3(STR) by default) and I get the following error:

"PXVMD is compressed. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot."

What do I need to do?

Hello if anyone could help me out here, I am a bit noob.

I have:
1. Processor: AMD X4 965 black
2. Mother Board: Asus M4A88T-M
3. Graphics Card: 6950 1gb
4. RAM: DDR-3 G.Skill 8GB
5. Hard Disk: 500GB WD

When I follow the guide after I select to install os x from the boot cd I get this:

ASE_I386
vm_page_bootstrap: 513610 free pages and 10678 wired pages
