rockinron_1 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 That processor is always going to give you problems, try the Nawcom legacy boot CD but even then I'm not sure if its supported. You really should go intel if you want a solid hackintosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.D. Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Perhaps Intel would be easier, but that wasn't the question. This gentleman has issues with his existing AMD system. I would suggest you check out the Developers Corner sub-forum and read some of the topics about Snow Leopard, Lion, and even Mountain Lion with regards to AMD processors. Don't give up on your hardware just yet. You may find that you cant run the latest and greatest OSX flavor, but I'm sure you can find something there to get your existing system running. Don't forget to checkout the OSx86 Wiki as well for HCL guides. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevAmiga Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks for the Replies both, interesting. Yeah, if i was building a hackintosh from the start id have gone Intel, but this machine was a bargain for the price Ill check out the Dev section- thanks for the heads up. I havent had a mac since i had a G5 powermac, so my main reason for doing this is just out of interest really. If anyone has got a working machine with the spec above though, please let me know Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevAmiga Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I can get Snow Lep to install using Chamelion and boot flags -v -x GraphicsEnabler=No but... then it wont boot? Through boot disk, runs through the whizzing text then goes to a black screen. Same boot flags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hi! Add the chatroom #legacykernel on the server chat.osx86.hu (you'll have to install colloquy or another IRC client). About your booting issues, boot with legacy_kernel (if you used nawcom or AnV kernels) -v arch=i386 -force64 npci=0x2000 maxmem=4096 (yeah, a lot of flags, but i don't think it will be necessary after some tweaking). Best regards! P.S.: I think you'll have to buy a discrete GPU: i doubt your integrated graphics would ever work. If you wan't a really cheap option which works out of the box, go for a GeForce G210. You'll have to add GraphicsEnabler=Yes to your bootflags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevAmiga Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Im re-installing now, im not bothered about the graphics ill get a card for this machine later, just want it to boot for now. Im thinking, seen as the machine boots to the installer off the DVD then my machine must be at least part compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickMCBeast Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Ok ill have a look. I cant find much to do with my AMD-A6 3670 I would of went intel but when i bought this computer i thought it was compatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hello Apple doens't give support for AMD, AMD users use modified kernels to makes OSX running on it... My advice is change to Intel to full support, but if you want continue with AMD don't worries, just try find a modified kernel for this CPU model.
