This kernel is amazing! With all previous kernels my ALC268 has been giving me choppy and distorted sound. Now it works perfect!


But there seems to be some mouse-issues when right-clicking after coming back from sleep.... But I can live with that for now...when I have sound :P

Release Candidate
Quote:
Release Candidate

27 Nov '08 OK. The merge is done. All changes verified. A whole lot of bugs on the Issues page should now be fixed. No one needs to update the bootloader anymore. Should work without any options on P4, AMD whatever cpu you have. No patching needed, AMD people can update straight from apple software update. Intel and AMD both now default to 64bit mode if the CPU is capable.

The RC package will be up on the Downloads section in a couple of hours as soon as we have updated the documentation. It's been a long time since beta2c, but we hope it will be worth the wait.

Final release expected 1 Dec '08 if all goes well.

Since we are close to finalizing everything, we are no longer accepting any more bug reports. The Issues tab has been removed and will be re-enabled once RC goes online.
from 0615 (GMT) on 27NOV08

EDIT: still waiting for the RC to be available to download but it should be available soon.

Remember that updating to 10.5.5 from software update will also install a vanilla kernel overwriting any XNU kernel that you have installed, so be very careful and take steps to ensure that you can reinstall the XNU kernel after updating. This is why Zeph's ASU omits the mach_kernel when performing system updates in order to stop systems breaking on reboot.

I think a good solution to this might be to copy the mach_kernel.voodoo over to the root directory twice (once as mach_kernel.voodoo and again as mach_kernel)... or we could just edit the com.apple.Boot.plist... but doesn't Apple also update this file? I didn't think they did because on my Macbook I still have the original date of when I installed Leopard to it for the date on that file.

But again, just to point out to the VMWare users, rename to mach_kernel to not get faults and freezes.

I also think that continuing to use Zephyroth's ASU will prove to help distribute the breakdown of the patching so we don't have to solely rely on the kernel... but the option is always there for an "Intel Installation" :-)

So, I'll installed the kernel on my test system and it seems to work fine with 10.5.3. But I can't tell too much, I didn't had dual-core problems or something else, but my main system crashes without reason (with Kernel 9.3.0), don't know why.

In 'About this Mac' it shows '2.9 GHz Intel Core Duo'. In System Profiler is shown correctly 'Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 185'. Is this a problem of the kernel or of the System.kext R0GUE posted some pages ago? The 'AboutThisMac'-Fix from the Leo4All DVD doesn't work.

It is possible to activate hardware virtualization for AMD CPUs with this kernal? If the K8/K9 Athlon/Opteron-Series (Socket 939) support this at all. This would be neccessary for Parallels 4.

BTW: What about the file mach_kernel.ctfsys (about 10.2 MB) which exists with the kernels 9.2.0 and 9.3.0 ? Isn't it neccessary anymore? I deleted it before installing the new kernel.
2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.

My Audio stuff: M-Audio Transit USB (default audio), M-Audio ProFire 610, M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge (34 channels) using Creamware A16 ADAT converter • MIDI: M-Audio Midiman 4x MIDI interface • Behringer Audio Mixers: Xenyx 1002, Xenyx 1002FX, Xenyx 1202FX, Eurorack UB1002FX, Eurorack MX1804FX, Eurorack MX262A • FX devices: Lexicon MPX100 DSP, Behringer DSP-1000 Virtualizer, Behringer MiniFEX 800 DSP, Behringer Multicom Pro MDX4400 compressor • RETRO: MSSIAH midi/sequencer/synthesizer cardridge for the C64 (Dual-SID), Steinberg M.S.I. MIDI Interface for C64

I *believe* it's only needed for debug purposes.

Your latest version of the 9.5 kernel is working like a dream on my machine. It feels like a real mac now, Iīm using 10.5.5 including all the latest updates.

Have you guys gotten your hands on the kernel from 10.5.6 yet?
