AMD Athlon X4 640

[oqamm]

Hello everyone,
I want to try hackintoshing the following specs:
AMD Athlon X4 640
AMD Radeon HD 7570
GIGABYTE GA-880GM-UD2H (rev 1.4)

I know Athlons are not supported with the kernel patches, and need a custom kernel
Where can I find a custom kernel for these specs and what version should I use?

Your CPU is from the K10 family, I.e. the one before the Bulldozer series, which contains the FX series of CPU’s. So unfortunately this means it is not supportEd by the AMD Vanilla installation process, I.e. the AMD kernel patches won’t work with your CPU. The AMD kernel patches work only with the Bulldozer or newer series of CPU’s.

I know, but can I use any other custom kernel patches on El Capitan?

Shaneee has some custom kernels for old AMD CPUs: https://github.com/Shaneee?tab=repositories

Can you send me a compiled one for El Capitan?

 

[Aluveitie]

I never used one, sorry

I tried using it, after selecting macOS there is no text and it just reboots

but it says ryzen

 

[Shaneee]

I’m sure with that one it just had the ryzen code added in. Previous code still there.
