BoostedH23a1 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This is a fine tip. AMD CPU and chipset support has been around but this brings together all the missing elements to make at least a bootable partition and go past the registration screen and into desktop.The problem thereafter with AMD is not with the platform but most of the times with the GPU. If Nviida is embedded, users may have a lot better luck with it. AMD cards are just not that popular with Apple, not until now. But then there is no retro support for the earlier ATI GPU. That is sad to say the least. But it is what it is. I recently dug up and old machine with AMD SB600 chipset with ATI X1200 IGP. I used this guide to set up without a glitch and took it all the way to 10.6.4. But graphics is another story. The next 2 days I was hunting for kexts but none of them would properly support the IGP. I also have an array of ATI GPU cards but unfortunately also that they are not the right ones. I finally gave up on perfecting it with a proper kext since I wasted too much time already. My plan is just to wait for either 10.6.5 and maybe get a next genenration of ATI GPU cards. yea i think im going to throw in the towel. had no issues at all with the install, but i have some odd hardware. and nothing seems to be working like it does on my intel based laptop. Granted i am a complete noob on this, so i think im in way over my head. apps are erroring out and all, not supporting 64bit and all, which sux cause i built all this about 10 months ago (not intending to put mac on it)... after all said and done it was about a about 3600bux...granted that might not be much to some out there but it is for me runs the {censored} outta windows though... i just hate windows, its so intrusive these days. Anyway, thank you all for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardware another problem. overclock my AMD run fine with Windows 7 & Ubuntu is worth for time and head itches for SL? not for me.. I got the same problem. I cant start up snow leo without the bootcd. Beacuse I have no boot.plist file. And i have installed chameleon but i don't find the boot.plist. It's vague in the tuturial becuase i dont have the file. I already tried the Chameleon RC5 install but after that i also don't find a boot.plist. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedH23a1 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Nvidia 295 gtx nvidia 9800 gt (sees fine) pci sata add in card (as i have 5 wd veloci raptor 10k rpm hard drives for windows only) i need more sata ports asus xonar 1.3 deluxe video card which is using hdmi to my surround receiver (hdmi out seems to be an issue) 8gb memory i read that they have got the 295 working decently on it but i dont think the other stuff is gonna work. granted i am noob so thats the main factor. booting with a cd wouldnt be a big deal for me, i could just leave the cd in 1 of my drives.

K-MUS Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi, I had a OSx 10.6.0 running in my windows vista 64 bits. I wanted to install XCODE so I download the SDK and XCODE and when I tried to install it. It said that I need version 10.6.2 or later... so I follow this thread instructions to upgrade after several failed attempt. Now I have 10.6.4 but when I try to install XCODE I have a "Installer quit unexpectably" error each time I try to run the installer. I downloaded several times... and allways the same error. Some1 knows why this happens and how to fix it ??? Thx btw I have a Quad Core AMD II 940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragMac Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hmmm...... I have updated my BIOS and load the default settings. But there is still the restart loop. Then I have changed to the AHCI-Mode and there is always the restart loop. What can I do? Is it important that the CPURatio must be 16? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
