MrApocalypse Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Can anyone tell me if I'm doing this wrong? Since I don't have a second bootable partition to rollback the kexts, I'm doing it from single user mode. I have a copy of Bronya's kernel on the root named "fx_kernel" since the update replaces mach_kernel, so i do: fx_kernel -s -v Then I run /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / My backup kexts are on my desktop, so I ran: rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext Sandbox.kext cp -r /Users/mrapocalypse/Desktop/rollback/System.kext /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext cp -r /Users/mrapocalypse/Desktop/rollback/Sandbox.kext /System/Library/Extensions/Sandbox.kext And to repair the permissions, I ran sudo chmod -R 755 System.kext Sandbox.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel System.kext Sandbox.kext The result is 10.9.2 booting, but as I said above, it's really slow and unstable. If I did anything wrong above, or there was another way to do this, please let me know, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADHDMedia Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Personally, when I get ready to update, I'm going the combo update route. That way when the installation finishes, you can perform the necessary kext rollbacks and permissions repair while still in GUI, just always seems to have been the safer option for me. Ever since 10.6.3 I've been doing it that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to format & re-install 10.9.1. I guess this'll be a good time to try Clover this time instead of Chameleon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertmac2 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi! Been a while since i've looked at running mavericks on AMD! Anyway, I'm trying to get the 10.9.0 installer up, but I'm getting an opemu error ("opemu: ud2" spammed over and over after the root device is mounted) that I should only be getting if I'm running 10.9.2 and haven't rolled back certain kexts to their 10.9.0 version. That doesn't make sense, as I'm running 10.9.0, so I have the 10.9.0 kexts. I'm running the bsv_kernel (or "AnV 10.9.0 mach_kernel" on the patched kernels wiki page), as Bronya's 10.9.0 rc7 kernel panics fairly early without any explanation (no kexts in the backtrace). Processor: AMD A6-3400M Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertmac2 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I tried installing the two kexts, still getting opemu: ud2. But since I'm trying to boot 10.9.0, not 10.9.2, I shouldn't need to rollback those kexts, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will report back if it works! Apparently "Essential System Software" is missing from my install disk. I'll try to create it again using myhack... Still getting the same error Opening Terminal and running ls /System/Installation/Packages shows that all the packages are indeed there though. I suspect it is OSInstall.mpkg, so I'll copy a clean one and apply an MBR patch manually instead of having myHack do it for me...The partition I created the installer on wasn't big enough! myHack didn't copy Essentials.pkg because there wasn't enough space. Resized it and now I'm creating the installer again Late update, but successfully installed! Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbyte Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Followed Spakk's instructions. Backed up System.kext and Sandbox.kext, installed the update and rebooted into single user mode to copy the kexts back to S/L/E and fixed permissions. Now we're up and running on 10.9.2. System is running HELLA slow, but it's running. I have two systems that I hotswap my OS X drive from and they are very similar. The main difference between the two is one has an FX-8350 plus GTX 680x2 and the other one has an FX-8150 plus GTX 760. I installed OS X 10.9.2 on a second partition on the FX-8150 build without any slowdown in the install but as soon as I would boot up in the account creation menu/desktop (after I had an account set up) it would be as you put it "HELLA slow". But as soon as I moved it over to my main build (See sig) everything is mostly stable and I have no slowdown/lag.

iammclovin804 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hello! Literally just put together my newest rig. Specs are as follows: Asus A88XM-A mobo Crucial Ballistix 1866 8GB Corsair CX430 PSU AMD A10-7850K APU with R7 graphics. Now my question is, is there a specific kernel to use with the new kaveri APU's? I tried using the Niresh distro and I kept getting kernel panics during installation and I have no idea why. Boot flags I used were -amd -x -v. It wouldn't boot without -x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanvier Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well, since I was pointed here to ask for help, I'll do so. Anyhow, I still haven't found a proper way around BSA kernel getting stuck and (apparently) it never returns a kernel panic, so it just hangs. On the laptop though, what I've noticed is that the kernel extensions are still running, except they're doing absolutely nothing. (ApplePS2Keyboard doesn't recognize some keyboard codes which are the Fn buttons) It seems to me that some change in the opemu code screwed something up. BSA kernel v8 runs on my desktop machine just fine, though. Also, people have found ways around it, but never shared it, exactly. A bit offtopic as well but is there any way of making the old HD 2400 Pro 512 MB to work with Mavericks? My dad also wants a Hackintosh and his only thing blocking it is the GPU. I've been trying to make it to work with SL before, but whenever a framebuffer tried to load, it corrupted the framebuffer for a second and then stopped working. It's a Megalodon framebuffer, I think, since Iago is 256 MB. I also think that Megalodon isn't present in Mavericks, so can I just take the drivers from Lion or SL? I've already tried putting the Device and Vendor IDs in the AMD2400Controller.kext. (pci1002,94c3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that at least Lion has Megalodon. Will search for the pl script myself and try further. Also I will attempt to run 10.9.1 rather than 9.2, since that's the one I got the OPEMU error with before I knew about rollbacking the kexts for the update.

Xanvier Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hmm, interesting. People have gotten the HD 2400 Pro to work in Leopard and Snow Leopard by using the Megalodon framebuffer, but it seems like that framebuffer is made for the 3870. I'll experiment with other framebuffers from the RV630 family. I still don't understand how the 2400 works in regular iMacs and not here... Thanks for looking it up for me, though. I got the script, but haven't ran it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertX Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ...so here's my quandary...I'm running 10.8.3 on an Intel D945GNT/PentiumD(Presler)940, at present using IDE HDD Partitioned MBR:SystemReserved/Win7/MacOSX...i have an external SATA HDD partitioned MBR: NTFS(Data)/OS10.9.1/OS10.9.2(I use this external SATA drive in the eSATA port of my other box to boot into OS X Mavericks...Win8.1 on internal HDD)...now as i have 2 installs of Mavericks, I am tempted to attach this HDD internally to the Intel box...I'll add a hopefully working(Andy?) amd_kernel(10.9), go with no DSDT, and maybe boot up -v -x UsekernelCache=No from the first OS X partition. ...just wondering about the potential of borking my external drive... ...and yes, I run Mavericks from an eSATA HDD(to keep it away from Windows8.1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spakk Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I installed, but in an unconditional way. I used my desktop to install through it's external SATA Mount, copied over the AnV 10.9 mach kernel applied the appropriate kexts, DSDT, edited my chameleon boot file, applied the latest bootloader(chameleon), and then rebuilt S/L/E and E/E from Kext Wizard. Messing with different boot flags I get to a new issue: SleepCapability. Unfortunately any attempt to alter my DSDT with an EHCI patch results it "ATT3" object not existing being produced. On an additional note, the Nonpci kext was applied to my system too. That gave me better results than the "npci=0xX000" flags. What is contained in my Extra Folder: http://dl.dropboxhsercontent.com/u/77418315/Extra.zip I've included my Original DSDT pulled from an Ubuntu Live session. Image: http://s28.postimg.org/d44xdd1rh/20140330_114204.jpg unfortunately I can not download the Extra folder. either the link is broken, or my firewall is armed? Please use this provider: http://www.file-upload.net/ I've looked at your picture, take the AppleCPUPowerManagement.kext from S / L / E what kernel are you using at the moment? what boot flags you're using at the moment? Edit: it can various little things (errors) be the cause a) is the DSDT.aml fully patched on your system and cleans all the errors by the compilers? if not, then boot without the DSDT.aml, you're doing as follows: when entering the boot flags then write --> DSDT=NO -v -f npci=0x2000 CPUS=1 usekernelcache=No Edit: otherwise repair the permissions boot with -s chmod -R 755 /Volumes/Mac/System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/Mac/System/Library/Extensions exit ...
