What are we suppose to do in order to address this? Was anyone on the forums able to install the Time Machine update without a problem on their AMD machines?

darn, hope its not hard to come up with a amd patch for this unless someone can sacrifice their system for us. =)

The update requires a 9.2.2 kernel so we'll have to wait for ToH or whoever to work on supplying us a patched version to work with this update.

whew....9.2.2 kernal?!!! You're right, we do need a kernel then. What to do? lol

Yeah, us AMD people will need to wait a little while longer before we can join that party :)

Yeah, I'm sure Netkas is back in his workshop as we speak. Strange though, I thought roisoft (or somebody) got this update working?? I could be wrong, though.

I think you are talking about Safari and Security Update.

actually, i just realized he was advising someone on how to avoid the kernel panics in that first thread about this update, but i think he was just talking hypothetically (i.e. "bullshitting") hahah j/k. :)

you never know, lol. Would rather wait for the next kernel. Its a mandate for all of us I see. I wonder what zeph is thinking.

Actually I have this working with netkas' 9.2.0 kernel, but for some reason I have yet to figure out there is a 30 second delay after my NTFS partition mounts at the end before desktop opens. This only happens with the modified kernel, my vanilla system runs perfect.

eddie, do you remember the 2-minute long delay before desktop that some people were experiencing after the leo gfx update? it was caused because they were using the 9.1.0 kernel before a hacked 9.2.0 was available. maybe this is the same kind of thing (have to wait for 9.2.2 so that everything in your system is compatible with itself)...? just a thought.
Well just a fyi....I had the 2 min delay before the desktop would open and I was using the 9.2.0 kernel with EFI MBR.

I have the update working without the kernel.

care to give us a snapshot?

I would have the same thought. That could be related. I'd rather wait for the latest kernel to be patched then install. Then to be on the safe side, for those users that have AMD systems, someone can patch the update with marvin's utility (CPUID, etc), and upload it on RD and we all can download it worry-free. =)

go to this thread (http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=799&page=1) and download the "patches" zip.

roisoft, for me personally, I can wait until 9.2.2 kernel patched is released (hopefully, :|).

ok, but the "patches" will be the same + the mach_kernel
WinLinMac01
03-21-2008, 07:09 PM
well, the kernel will be properly modified at least, to be on the safe side.

I'm quite happy to wait. Time Machine works perfectly right now, so I'm of the opinion that "if ain't broke....."

yeah, same applies to me, I would wait as well. its not too long until the next ppf or kernel arrives I would say.
Netkas/ToH are probably working on it.
