Nanael Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi to all, Does anybody know if the Developer Preview will work with Intel 950GMA if the Graphics are applied by DSDT? Thank you for your time. All the best, NSCXP2005 It will not be supported... That's what apple says... http://www.mac4ever.com/news/68220/mountain_lion_le_minimum_pour_en_profiter/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSCXP2005 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Do you think there might be a way to use a kext from Lion to get it to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rpheus Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 So after a little more testing, only a few problems: I cannot get rid of that hanging at the IOAPIC on boot, so booting is taking longer no matter what. I'm guessing it's bootloader related, it happens whether or not I have the DSDT in and no matter what settings I set Chameleon to have, even with the bare minimum of extra kexts (basically just fakesmc). I also cannot get the system to sleep/wake properly, whereas Lion works perfectly. The system will sleep the computer, but upon waking will cause the computer to freeze, wiping the CMOS. Just so you all know, my PC is an Asus P6TD Deluxe with an i7 930, 6GB RAM and 2x GTX 570's. I also cannot get my iCloud mail to work in the new 6.0 mail client (no doubt a bug in ML). It just doesn't load anything after the account is added. Other than these things, it's pretty smooth. Hopefully everything will be working by the next Developer Preview/GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can try to dl the kext from lion about intelframebuffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah101 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Would someone mind posting a step by step of setting up the USB for boot and how they installed? I have compiled the new chameleon and used it to boot normally, however, when I plug in my USB I can't get past the BIOS post screen. Please help. EDIT: I restored the InsallBSD to an internal hard drive partition, but when I boot it I get a kernel panic with "ACPI cannot find next IOPC...." I can't remember the kext. I tried booting ignoring cache, but that didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you do with lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Would be great if someone mad new patch (as before OS X Version) to make it possible to install on MBR part shema. (Some library+pkg) To bad that 10.8 seems to need more space (on install volume) than lion (11.5+ GB) - complains that for my 8 GB Stick . In the past (LION install) i used 8 GB USB Stick (GUID) as destination for Lion install and then cloned it on my MBR partition on HD as an workaround for the forbidden MBR install.

Nanael Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I mounted the InstallESD.dmg, but I see no BaseSystem.dmg, unless it is a hidden file. Use the terminal with Open /Volume/MacOS/BaseSystem.dmg Or use onyx ( it's not exactly this address but you can found it in the lion's section) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rpheus Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I mounted the InstallESD.dmg, but I see no BaseSystem.dmg, unless it is a hidden file. It is a hidden file, yes. You need to find yourself instructions on the web for how to install Lion. The only difference is the boot loader, found on page 2 of this thread. Edit: I'm gonna peek in the system files and look for possible Ivy Bridge support. Will be nice to know what Apple has planned coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I'm gonna peek in the system files and look for possible Ivy Bridge support. Will be nice to know what Apple has planned coming up Thanks! It was hidden. So now I restore this to the drive and see if it will boot. PS: I notice there was a file in the InsallBSD.dmg that said "Supported Installs" or something like that. Do you think if someone added the board ID and model number of the macbook core 2 duo it could be loaded onto those? Or are the graphics really that bad that it wouldn't work?

Kudo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hello! I'm using a laptop with the Intel X3100 graphics card. I've done installation using the 1.Restore BaseSystem.dmg/2.Copy Packages/3.Copy extensions/4.Reboot to install method. The installation was complete. And I've changed the string 10.8 to 10.7 in those two files1. But after rebooting, the system hangs. And the upper-most part of the screen is the menu bar(not transparent) while the rest is just a white screen. In the /var/log/system.log file, I found this error: [/sourceCache/loginwindow/loginwindow-1432/Login.m:1784] Failed to launch /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup Assistant (error -10825) Any ideas? 1.

Menno Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I don't know what it is, but my GTX590 OpenGL performance is really bad in cinebench. I'll test some other opengl stuff soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchan2 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 For some reason, I can't get the computer to be verified. I've checked my smbios.plist and added pciroot=1 as well as ethernet=buitlin. I'm wondering if it has to do something with the modified chameleon. For those using clover, how do you get past a boot0 error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave-zeo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Install went smooth as silk on my Dell XPS Studio 9000 machine. Only Problem I've noticed so far is my Atheros Wireless DOES NOT work as it did in OS X 10.7.2. Any thoughts on that (like adding a device ID to a plist or something)? I fixed my Atheros Wireless problem by googling the fix for 10.7.3. I've attached the kext for anyone else having this problem. IO80211Family.kext.zip Geekbench score (no idea if it's good or bad). Cenebench CPU and OpenGL (again, no idea if it's good or bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyguy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If we need speedstepper for 10.7. do we need it for this? And since it isn't out, I guess we would need nullcpu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
