AMD Kernel for Mountain Lion 10.8.2 1.0

okaay, I saw it but the question is (I am noob:) how can I use it )

thanks for the work. I will wait for reviews who installed.

(???????? ????: ??? ????? ??????????))) ? ??? ????? ? ??????????? GTX 260, ??? ???? ?? ?????????????)

Booted successfully only in single-user mode - flags "amd_kernel arch=x86_64 -s -v". In other modes constant KP. Trying to find successfull combination of flags.

Config: Athlon 2 X3 440, Radeon 6790, 890GPA-UD3H, RAM 8Gb

V1tol where did you put the kernel file how does it work. I have my 10.8.2 on usb, should I but it there or how?

ok I got till installing screen everytihng goes fine till it stop on %75. It lags and never goes. any ideas?

Great work! Problem only with OpenGL(in game CiV5 - minimum artifacts)

SPEC:

OS: 10.8.2

MB: GA-MA790X

GFX: XFX 6850

Boot args: -f npci=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler=Yes UseKernelCache=No

SMBIOS: MacPro2,1

If i download the N{censored} mountain lion distro and load it on a usb and then just replace the kernel with this one would it boot just fine or would I have to do some more? I am running a amd fx 8120 with a gtx 660 and 8gb of ram.

Success! Just needed to place PciRootUID=1 in startup options.

dejavue, I unpacked installed 10.8.2 image on my HDD, then from Windows using MacDrive I placed kernel in root of MacOS partition, then booted with flags "amd_kernel arch=x86_64 PciRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No". Worked everytning instead of LAN (installed Realtek official drivers), Sound (had no time to start ALC892) and video.

So I got everything running but is there a way to get my gtx560 to work. I cannot boot without -x

V1tol did you make it without -x mode?

You can boot without -x if you disable the two kexts referred in the description of the files. Of course, no QE/CI - the kernel still needs more work to run graphics properly...

Has anyone got this to work with the amd fx 8120, if so please let me know your boot flags because it will not boot for me.

Unfortunately there are lots of reports the isn't working well for FX CPUs.

FX users may try the 12.0 AMD kernel by sinetek, http://speedy.sh/JEwUY/mach-kernel, which is confirmed working nicely with newer AMD CPUs. Bad news are that, since it's a 12.0 (10.8.0) kernel, it won't work with 10.8.2 without mods; specifically, you have to replace the 10.8.2 AppleFileSystemDriver.kext, IOACPIFamily.kext and perhaps AppleACPIPlatform.kext by the 10.8.0 versions of each one.

If you want to test this alternative kernel, please report your results. Thank you!

I will tonight in about an hour, so will I need to find a 10.8.0 mountain lion. Or can I just modify my retail 10.8.2 usb? If so how can I modify the 10.8.2 for use with this kernel.

Reread my comment, please.

It might just be easier to download the retail 10.8.0 release and mount it to us using U{censored} and the replace the kernel and boot from that. Give me your thoughts

Could work! Try it, then post please the results here.

I always recommend retail installations. Besides the legal and ethical issues, distros add another level of uncertainty to the already tricky art of running OSX on AMD. Retail installations offer more control of what's going on. Not to forget it's the price of two Big Mac combos, c'mon!

alright im going to start the download for 10.8.0 now and then install it to usb using U{censored} the replace the kernel and test it and then post back here when im done, should I still use all the same boot flags with the fx kernel?

I think you do.

I dont think you can buy 10.8.0 out of the app store so I might have to aquire it other ways.... and my lion internet isnt working because it crashes the 32bit apps(the reason im just going ahead to 10.8) So I ont know anywhere I could buy it from...

alright im going to put it on a usb I will be back shortly to share my results

Okay i can confirm that it is booting but I keep getting stuck on the line: com_lnx2mac_realtekrtl81xx: ethernet address. I'm booting with amd kernel arch=x86_64 npci=0x2000 and pcirootuid=1

Use -x (safe boot).

Evan, about Lion crashing your 32-bit apps, you can either search here in osx86.net or google for the and_insn_patcher, a very useful tool by Andy Vandjick. It will patch your dyld and other files, allowing you to open 32-bit processes while running in 64-bit user land. I'm assuming you're using R:A:W:x86's kernel, right?

Best regards!
