I can sum it up as this you dont run an amiga emulator and complain that it detects the cpu as a 68000 instead of a xeon

Yeah, I found a problem with Beta 2 and 10.5.2 where if my printer was turned on OS X would Kernel Panic.
Works great for 10.5.5 though. Can't wait to try this update with 64-bit!

Thanks, and keep up the good kernel work!
And FYI Zephyroth, I'll keep using your updater anyway. Can't hurt to pre-patch your installs as a fail-safe if nothing else.

EDIT: Okay, so I installed it and took out the -legacy boot flag. It boots just fine but I'm not getting that (allegedly) telltale "Run in 32-bit mode" option in Get Info for any applications.
And my CPU now shows as a Core Duo. Meh, I can edit that when it starts to bug me. Hasn't affected the performance any.

when you boot up using "-v" it is found in one of the top lines. If it isn't showing up, that doesn't mean it isn't doing it though... See Leo4All.com for bhast2's post about how he is running in 64bit mode and he shows you how he knows it.

Even though I'm not getting the "Run in 32-bit mode" option, Geekbench declares my Hack is indeed running in 64-bit. So I take it that it is anyway. *cheers*
EDIT: To confirm you're running in 64-bit mode, you have to "Get Info" on Chess.app, not just any .app. And there the telltale checkbox is. Two thumbs up for the voodoo kernel coders!

i upgraded too at this kernel... first reboot kernel panic, then reboot again and all fine.
Some applications crash...
My cpu it's seen correctly but doesn't run in 64bit mode (as report Geekbench) and system profiler see my Hackintosh as:

Nome modello: iMac
Identificatore modello: iMac7,1
Nome processore: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+
Velocità processore: 2.86 GHz
Numero di processori: 1
Numero totale di nuclei: 2
Cache L2: 2 MB
Caratteristiche CPU: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 HTT SSE3 CX16
Memoria: 2 GB
Velocità bus: 220 MHz.
Before was seen as Hackintosh.
System is upgraded to 10.5.5 version and system kexts are 9.5 ones.
Where is the trick?

Strange that yours is showing as an iMac...anywho...
Did you disable the -legacy boot flag in Boot.plist?
No crashes here but mine shows as an Intel Core Duo. Perhaps it didn't install correctly for you?

gipo · #28 11-29-2008, 09:08 PM

this is my boot.plist

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
</dict>
</plist>

You have to test with the 64bit version of geekbench which needs a registration key. Free version comes only with 32bit version enabled.

This is a public service announcement :P --
AMD processors are identified as Intel Core Solo/Duo on purpose.
