AMD and Retail Snow Leopard 10.6.5 --> 10.6.8 Final[GUIDE]

[Mohamed Khairy]

10.5 relased

update guide coming soon and i think it will be so more understanable

[dawiinci]

…

7- first copy amd patcher to /usr/bin

8- run terminal again

9- type this command

 

sudo -s
 amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/dyld /usr/lib/dyld.patched
 cp /usr/lib/dyld.patched /usr/lib/dyld
 amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched
 cp /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

 

…

Can you please explain to me what this does and in which case I have to use it? Never done that before. I’m already asking this here.

 

Also the CPUID patcher from the package doesn’t cover all files or isn’t fully working in 10.6.5. (Spotlight crashes when opening private tab in its settings)

 

I really hope someone can help me to understand this.

Hello!

 

Thanks for the guide.

 

I wanted to ask if it is possible

SL retail installation in this configuration:

 

ASUS M3N78-VM

X64 AMD Athlon 5200+ (2.7 ghz)

4GB 800Mhz RAM

Geforce 9500 GT 512mb PCI-E

 

Currently I have installed iAtkos S3 v2.

 

From already thank you very much!

There is only one real way to find out. Try it using the first method. It worked on mine quite well. Although it took a few tries. You may need to use the latest boot cd though.

[dawiinci]

You could even use the nawcoms Boot CD v0.3. It worked better for me. I think it’s much more compatible to a variety of hardware and this saves you some CDs to burn.

I become always this error message:

dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache

 

what does it mean, what went wrong?

[dawiinci]

Do these BootCDs in any way modify the installation or is it just a way to boot the retail DVD? I am thinking about installing vanilla on a C2D and I don’t want it to change anything on my installation. I just find it very easy to use this instead of modifying the DVD.

I'll try the first method.

 

The Boot CD I downloaded properly charged. I hope to have luck with the installation of SL retail.

 

Thanks.

simply this is the kernel guide

 

 

 

 

people whom cant deal with new kernel please do this

1- download above tools

2-you will find two files mach_kernel and amd patcher

3 run terminal

4- type rm /mach_kernel

5-copy mach_kernel on tools to mac partion

6-now patch some files

7- first copy amd patcher to /usr/bin

8- run terminal again

9- type this command

 

CODEsudo -s

amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/dyld /usr/lib/dyld.patched

cp /usr/lib/dyld.patched /usr/lib/dyld

amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched

cp /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

 

now you finished patching

 

you need to add to boot.plist

on kernel flags

-force64

this flag important to run on 64bit

 

 

I followed those instructions and now I get a different error.

did you set sata on achi mode

[rpholt1]

When you say:

 

-then copy boot file from AnVAL5.0.5 folder to mac partion root

 

 

Do you mean all the boot files like boot, boot0, boot0hfs, boot1f32, etc or do you mean to only copy the "boot" file.

boot file only

file mean one

files mean more than one

I can't get to the installer. It gets passed all the text just fine but then it freezes at the grey screen right before the installer is supposed to appear. Using the latest boot CD from your guide. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[ArKayDe]

Whatever you put in that 0.6 boot cd nearly blew up my system. I don't know which fan went amok, CPU or Graphics card, but this sure didn't sound very healthy. I hope I didn't fry anything.

My motherboard doesn`t support ACHI mode. may have some other ideas?

Thanks

Hi Mohamed,

I would like install SL. I have SL DVD 10.6.0. I have three HDD with WIN7 and UBUNTU. My idea is to dedicate a HDD to SL. What is the boot loader that I will use? chamaleon or GRUB2.

What kind of setup needs to implement multiboot?

 

Thanks

OK, if I boot with -x my graphics card doesn't go nuts. Seems the driver it chooses doesn't quite work with it. The screen goes blank and the fan seems to run at twice the normal speed.

 

However, I will be stuck here:

 

ACPI Table not found : DSDT.aml
No DSDT found, using 0 as uid value.
Using PCI-Root-UID value : 0

 

No error, nothing. I waited for 5 minutes and nothing more happened. I even tried with "busratio=16 arch=i386", nada. AHCI was activated.

I can't boot up the CD (latest boot 0.6) because I get a kernel panic.

 

I'm using Athlon II X3 445, Biostar A780L3L MB (http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/content.php?S_ID=495) with integrated graphics card, Werstern Digital 320GB SATA HDD, and SATA DVD ROM.

 

I took a picture of the kernel panic,

 

What can I do to get it working?

 

Thanks.
