Use my custom IOUSBFamily, it will fix these issues...

I'm using the usb kexts from 10.6.2 and there are working excellent XD

Thanks Andy for the kernel!

How to patch kernel? :P I'm getting KP on VMware

Fantastic work Andy!!

I have the 10.6.5.v1 kernel running on a dual processor Opteron 8 core server board. Used the SL10.6.2 Hazard CD for the install and replaced the 10.6.2 kernel (which didn't work well) with Andys 9.17-v1 binary.

Boot option: -force64 arch=i386 busratio=12 and the patcher =-50 (probably to high).
Only one outstanding issue that I can not find a solution for and that is the Realtek ALC880 sound ship.

Absolutly great work and many thanks to Andy and all who worked on this.

If anybody has an idea for the ALC880 problem.....

Hardware:

ASUS KFN5-D SLI server board, Nvidia MCP55 chipset, Two Opteron 2358SE 4 core (each), 8 gb Kingston ECC REG DDR2-667, Nvidia 8600GT vidio, WD 36gb SATA Raptor, WD 40gb IDE ATA, Realtek 8139 net chip, ASUS DVD +/-R/RW Optical IDE, and the crappy ALC880 sound thing.

BIOS options: Used defaults.

SL 10.6 installs on both the parallel and SATA drives. I mention this because of reading that there have been parallel HD install problems.

I'm new to OSX so please excuse any ignorance. With the help of the forum I'll get over it.

cheers

Hello guys,

I am just new posting to this forum but I was reading it since long time...

I had installed 10.6.4 on my HP Compaq 6530b Laptop on an external USB drive, that was working great until I upgraded to 10.6.5 when my system got down.

After two days of reparations using OS X installed on a VMWare I could repair the files in my hard drive but unfortunately I have lost the mach_kernel, and then I have downloaded the mach_kernel posted in this topic, I unzipped it, copied it to the root on my hard drive and applied chown 0:0 and chmod 755 on the mach_kernel using sudo -s in the terminal and rebooted using the USB drive with -v arch=i386 flags...

When start loading the files, it is showing that it is loading the mach_kernel TWICE!! as per the image (1.jpg), I can see from the image (2.jpg) that the Darwin Kernel loaded is 10.5.0 which is correct I assume? when continuing with the boot it is showing messages saying invalid kernel ip, won't attempt.... as per image (4.jpg)

If I am booting with only flag -v i am getting the screen (3.jpg)

Can you please guys help me out on this.

Thanks in advance...

When I was doing hardware upgrades the day before yesterday, I had to reboot my system several times (if no software updates have to be applied, I am otherwise not used to do so ), whereby I had to discover that the kernel integrated patched dyld wasn't working all the time (sometimes 32-Bit Apps are still crashing by sysenter traps) after another reboot it was working again...
I then patched dyld manually and passed std_dyld=Yes to the Kernel what seems to have solved my problem so far, this also has resolved the messed controls and browser content in Firefox, I was expiring with all 10.5.0 Kernels before ...kinda strange....

I have experienced the same issue myself, but it happens seldom so I wasn't sure if i should report it or not.

[Noob1247]

I was wondering if my system is compatible with this legacy kernel:

AMD Athlon 64 X Dual core 6400+
Asus Crosshair motherboard (AM2 nForce 590)
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Thanks for the help!

[danfloun]

So I'm booting with this kernel seemingly okay at the moment.
But how do I use the patcher?

I've googled, never found anything useful.

Cheers
