Fez Vrasta Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks, but I can't find something useful for my problem Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286758-reboot-after-chameleon-boot-amd-pc/#findComment-1893562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 your problem is the distro what you use, not have a patched kernel for AMD , better method is USBInstaller Retail, with tis you can delete and add kexts and patched kernel for your hardware, change smbios etc..., the reboot problem can be graphics kexts, bad smbios, AppleIntelCPUPM kext, PCIRoot for your card etc..., make a USBInstaller Retail is more easy for install.

theconnactic Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Hi! Check here: http://www.insanelym...md-development/. IFire already told you to do it, but i guess you didn't like you should, since you, quote, "can't find something useful for my problem". For real-time help with AMD installations, add the chatroom #legacykernel in IRC, server chat.osx86.hu, many of the people who helped develop the current solutions for AMD usually are logged in. Best regards!

There isn't a method for get an error output for understand exactly what is the problem that make my pc rebooting? I'll dig again into AMD section, maybe I missed something.

theconnactic Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'll dig again into AMD section, maybe I missed something. You really did Instant reboots are difficult to debug because they usually doesn't output anything. So we had to resort to other methods to learn what was going on. Fortunately, the work was already done for you. If you look at the kernel database topic in the link i sent you, you'll see that there's one specific for FX/Bulldozer CPUs. But you can really use any of the AMD kernels for Mountain Lion, if you just install Clover. Search, in the forum i linked to you, for the keyword "gils83" (without quotes), the user who found out this workaround. Answer the second quiz, man: that way you'll not be limited to post in the New Users Lounge. Best regards!
