Thread: Kernel Panic while trying to boot from Mac OS X Install DVD [AMD]

I have tried to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my AMD system, but no luck. Everytime I try to boot the Install DVD a get a kernel panic. I used iAtkos S3 v2 and Hazard 10.6.6i.

My system:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 (Capable of EFI and BIOS)
CPU: AMD FX 4100 (4x 4.4Ghz)
RAM: 12GB DDR3 1333
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450 from Sapphire with 1GB of RAM

Please help

You'll need retail Snow Leopard.

Thanks. I'll try.

Is there a possibility to run Lion or even Mountain Lion on an AMD-based machine?

And if not, can I update Snow Leopard Retail to 10.6.6 to get the Mac AppStore?

But Thanks anyway

Yes there is some possibility:

mach_kernel 10.7.3 AMD - Downloads - OSx86.net

Please read all the comments.


Snow Leopard can be updated to 10.6.8.

OK Thank you, but one more question: I have downloaded Mac OS X 10.6.3 Retail. I know you can 'burn' a dmg file to an USB Stick using TransMac, but can Nawcom ModCD boot from it?

You can try, but I think ModCD can't boot it. CAn you use Dual Layer dvd for retail Snow Leopard?

No that's the problem

Maybe you could try with this guide:

OK I let you know if it works

I got Snow Leopard 10.6.3 to work and its even more stabile the distro of Snow Leoard that I had on my Inter-based notebook.

But a few thing don't work:
Graphics (fixed)
USB3.0
Bootload (Still have to use CDMod) (fixed)
Only 4GB of 12 GB RAM are recognized
Does not recognize my iPod touch
Sound not working

But thanks for your help
