Hi bud,
I think you can. Though I have not tried 1090T yet but I can share my past experience
in these links
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4921&p=24974&hilit=GAMA770UD3#p24974 this is my new PC
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2748 this was my old PC

I found one guy with 6 core AMD here viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5573
I will go with the physical installation not in VMWire kinda virtual machine.
Points to be kept in mind first
Use a DVD/DVD RW with SATA port.
Use HDD with SATA.
Put DVD in the mobo's SATA port 0 HDD in SATA port 1 (I mean the HDD where SL is going to be installed)
If you have another HDD that is installed with Windows 7 or any other OS keep that HDD open during SL installation.
Now switch on PC and go to BIOS load with FAil safe defaults then Optimum defaults.
Disabled any legacy USB support in BIOS
Switch on AHCI in BIOS
Do not use dual GPUs
Make sure first boot device as your DVD
In the startup hit F8 and write "-v" without cotes. This will show what goes inside (if installation fails take a pic and share with us to solve the problem). Same goes with after installation.
Best of luck

hi soumya.
thanks for helping me but i am having a doubt.....


1st i have to buy a new hdd cause i cant partition the one hdd i have now...its full..so i have to buy a new one and for that i have to wait for a month(:cry: )..

2nd i will install it physically but if u can then tell me how i can install it on a virtual machine cause i have to wait a month i can try this on virtual one..it will be soo helpful..

3rd i have all sata every thing is sata.U said that i have to Put DVD in the mobo's SATA port 0 HDD in SATA port 1 (I mean the HDD where SL is going to be installed) so why i mean i can set the boot priority...

4 u said If you have another HDD that is installed with Windows 7 or any other OS keep that HDD open during SL installation. Ya i am working on win7 ultimate now.but if i keep it on during installation so it may happen that i accidently format the wrong hdd or install mac over win7 and all my work and win7 will be gone and above that if i install mac while win 7 installed hdd is on so mac boot(boot record) files overwrite or overshadow the win7 boot records so win7 will not boot..

5 u said Now switch on PC and go to BIOS load with FAil safe defaults then Optimum defaults. why and how i am gonna do it.

6 u said Disabled any legacy USB support in BIOS..why and how.

7 u said Switch on AHCI in BIOS...how...and why...

please i dont know how to say thanks to u..i am soooooooooo thankful to u....please help me in this too and thanks once again.if in some u dont know why or u dont want to write extra so no problem just tell me how of all...

Thanks a lot buddy....

Ans: Use a different HDD for Mac and Windows. Because using VMWire or some virtualization software will slow down your PC. Like word copy paste will take unto 2 min of time.. with spinning wheel SO DONT GO FOR IT PLEASE

And: Boot priority does not depend on what device is connected on what SATA port. It is set through BIOS. Go to BIOS by pressing Del key at boot up(or read mobo manual for it.). Check for first boot device setting there.

And: These are all in BIOS set up. Get into BIOS using the above process. First read the manual or google for it. Look at the bottom section of the screen at boot screen. See there should be options like press F7 for Fail Safe Defaults F9 For Optimum Defaults. Look in BIOS for "legacy USB support" make it Disabled. Look for SATA port type make it AHCI. (Advanced Host Controller Interface).

Try don't loose heart you can do it I know. I did it after 73th time

We all are waiting to hear you

OOOOHHHHHH yeahhhhhhhh man.. hey finally i am able to install this os on my virtual box but there are many problems...

hi soumya here it is..kernel panic..hey my processor is 64 bit supported and virtualization is on in bios amd-v is on on vb but still i am not able to get 64bit mode on guest Mac it wont start in 64 bit...i used arch=x86_64 and boot=x86_64 and many more i dont even remeber and press keys 6 and 4 and all..i used a program called startup mode selector form this site http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html but it shows processor of 32bit.and efi is 64bit and kernel boot mode is 64bit and kernel is 32 bit..

1-how to boot 64bit.
2-want a 64bit kernel and how to install it cause when i copy paste it wont let me do it.and i installed choclate,blacknight,av still no 64 bit.
3-thanks.i want 64 bit.hey how i can upload img on this i mean in a reply...i dont know.

Sorry man
If you are using VMWare to boot, things here are changed in the processor end as it is virtualized.
I am sorry I can not help you on it have no idea. If you try to install on a physical machine I may help you.
Try using tips I said earlier may help a bit.
You can ping magicfox to know more. Though he has limited details on AMD specially 6 cores, but I hope he can at least give some idea.
I am very sorry.

Hi
This might help you a bit
