New XPC (22.3.11) 0.82.2 (as second chance if [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] fails with your system)

http://www.mediafire.com/?i4e7d14mgvvhobb

Changes: Added: Memory detection, Dimm SPD parsing, Smbios fix, Bootgraphics-Fix"

 

Let's see if this one works on my System.

Here [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] works if I put the drive on Intel controller (ICH10R) or Chamaleon works on both (with some DP problems).

 

XPC was able to get me to the drives page but said LION wasn't a compatible OS to boot.

Over here working fine.

Booted with following arguments:

-v -usecache arch=i386 -x32

Put kernelcache file under /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/

...

 

Andy, your using Chameleon, right?, and do you have Lion booted into the gui on your netbook? Thanks. :)

 

Hangs here for me:

Could this be, because I'm using a sata harddrive to install? EDIT: Guess not, does the same thing when I try to install from usb.

Andy,

I tried cloning my desktop lion install onto an external, replacing with your atom kernel, and kernelcache, added chameleonrc3 w/netkas' boot, your boot modifiers ,no go, so, I guess you'll have to give us netbookers a little more install info, thanks

This new XPC give me correct time clock (with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] my computer clock running too fast), but XPC shows 6GB instead of 4GB in ATM.

 

Thanks for the update :P

Same for me.

 

BTW. There is a newer version of XPC 0.82.3 available now: http://www.mediafire.com/?qtxircenvt9nx99

Though I'm not sure of what's changed since 0.82.2

 

@blackosx

we can always set how many memory banks needed by editing /EFI/XPC/settings.plist, right?

Hi farhanito

 

I can't see any difference to the results when editing the memory modules in settings.plist. So as far as I know, it doesn't work. But if somebody can correct me then I'll be happy to learn :(

Hi guys...

 

I'm trying to install Lion on a GA-P67m-UD3 with an I5 2400SB..

 

I used all the processes and versions of XPC and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and i can't finish the boot,only with "hackinstaller"(http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=185097) I could see the options,to install the "base system" and then the verbose mode go on and then it reboots ,with others only the initial boot "MBRStart" and then the screen stay black without the cursor...

 

are there any new method, or where is my mistake...

 

where shall I pu the fakescm and DSDT.aml at new XPC 0.82.3 ?

 

sorry my english

c.frio

Am I the only one that feels that the bluetooth is quite "iffy" because it would pick up my trackpad and magic mouse fine but when I bring my keyboard into the pairing fiasco everything on BT seems to just drop connection and won't work till a reboot. Using a hackintosh on Lion, haven't tested if it's the same on my MBP but I'll do it when I get home.

 

Just might end up "borrowing" a keyboard from my office with no intent of bringing it back.

 

It's Cambridge Silicon based BT radio.

Same problem here with the memory detection. Says 8GB DDR 1066 when it's 6GB DDR 1600. It's saying my RAM is in slots A4, A1 and A5 when it should be A1, A2, A3. Looks like memory detection will need a little more work, editing the settings file seems to do nothing to change the detection of triple channel RAM.

 

Oh I think the problem also lies in an extra 2GB stick in BANK4/DIMM4 being randomly detected adding 2GB to the total?

Hi

I report succes with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.2 and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.4 (my specs in signature).

 

With my DSDT and ALC8xxHDA.kext I got sound in Snow, but it doesn't work in Lion.

 

My memory is detected wrong. In 'About this mac' it shows no memory at all, and my processors freq is reported as 4.0 Ghz instead of 3.0 (its Core 2 Duo E8400).

 

Besides that, I can't use my firewire audio interface or my firewire disk. If I do, bootloader hangs after choosing disk to but in the GUI. I see something like "starting 64 bit EFI", but nothing happens. I've tried turning on firewire stuff after Lion loads. It works, but without drivers for my audio interface. If I install them, I got kernel panic. I think it has something to do with the way [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] handles firewire ports.

 

 

I've run 64-bit Cinebench 11.5 both in Snow Leopard and Lion on my Gainward GTS 250 512 mb. Here are results that I gathered in last few months.

 

Snow Leopard 10.6.4: 24.42

Snow Leopard 10.6.5 (with Tony's NVidia drv): 23,76

Snow Leopard 10.6.7: 22.60

Lion 10.7 (dev prerelease): 26.14

 

Soon, I'll try to make further tests with games, to see how much they optimized graphic drivers in Lion. It's dev release, but this performance gains look tempting :)

You need to get it to load FakeSMC.kext and VoodooPS2Controller.kext (did this with external USB kb connected, kextload each) in single user mode (add also -s).

After that you need to type exit and it should boot (did it for me).

There is a new [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.4a. Evidently, the new version supports ACPI snooping, but I don't know how to work it.

Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xbetgtfjeg135ha

 

Still trying to learn it. It's totally different from 1.4.

 

 

Hi all,

 

@tdtran1025,this new [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.4a don't work for me.

 

I use version 1.4 now.

With [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.4a blocking:

You how to operate? I guess that worked for you with iBoot1.4.

You add files to dsdt, kext and others ?

 

Improvements that this new [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] brings, what to do ?

 

Thanks advance.

I'm sure iPhoneTom will get everything working correctly at some point. He's doing a fantastic job with XPC and in time all the elements of the bootloader will be there. Thanks for your work iPhoneTom.

 

 

Hi...

how can I use iPhone tom bootloader..?

 

I have 2 rigs with Lion, one on a GA-G31-ES2C with a C2D and another with GA-P55M-UD2 with i5, but can't install it on a Ga-P67m-UD3 with Sandy Bridge...(it has Snow Leopard only).

 

 

i tried with XPC ,iboots(several),and would like to try iPhone tom's---how shall I proceed?

 

thanks

 

c.frio

Just gave XPC 0.82.5 a quick try with "snow leopard" and noticed two things.

 

First, fakeSMC.kext (the only extra kext I need) is not getting loaded from extra_kext folder (so I had to add it to S/L/E to get system booted).

 

Second, RAM info auto-detection is not working properly. Do I have to remove anything from the settings.plist to allow RAM detection to work properly?

For SL you can put FakeSMC in "extra_kexts/10.6" folder. For Lion it doesn't work yet (iPhoneTom said it will when kernel source becomes available).

 

Remove tables type 17 from settings.plist, memory detections works on 2 of my machines, Asus P5E and Acer Aspire 5920, but doesn't work on Asus N53J.

I agree 100%. What we need here is more people like you, with newer gear, voice in. Lion is about moving forward. I hear (and experienced it myself) from people with newer ATI cards now can boot up Lion right out the box. I have never seen any first-preview OS that runs this smooth while developers are still trying to adjust to new programming environment. All of the programs on my SL partition run fine in Lion, except that iTunes runs a bit weird. Besides, the improvements in different areas alone makes it worth it to dive in.

I just wish someone with the i7/i5 with built-in Intel GMA report the result. I know I will put on Lion on my next HTPC build with Core i5 2500K.

 

I'm using the same kexts (except audio, since VoodooHDA doesn't work in Lion) in both Snow and Lion. I'm also running the same applications. As opposed to beating the OS within an inch of its life, as a daily beater OS, there's definitely a lot there in Lion that wasn't (and isn't) in Snow And that being the case is going to shake up some major misperceptions - on the part of Apple's fanbois, and even in the Hack community, about OS X.
