mach_kernel 9.2.2 and 9.2.2 System.kext for AMD

[mrburns05]

Ive found a mediafire link!

using them now, everythings working smooth

Information: ---> http://www.infinitemac.com/922-kernel-and-systemkext-for-amd/

Download Link: ---> http://www.mediafire.com/?2qumydg2xoh

[roisoft]

yes, post it please

[agrafuese]

who released it? is it legit?

[mrburns05]

legit? i think its ToH, not really sure..it works, found on irc @ irc://irc.osx86.hu/#osx86.de

http://www.mediafire.com/?2qumydg2xoh


tell me how to find out who released it and i can post, all i know is it works and boots a bit quicker, finder seems smoother too

[Firewalk]

how do you apply these..

Firewalk

[mrburns05]

to apply, replace system.kext in /System/Library/Extensions

repair permissions:

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext

replace mach_kernel with new one in / (rename to mach_kernel if its not already)- you may need onyx to show hidden files.
mach kernal goes in /

repair permissions

sudo chown -R root:wheel /mach_kernel
sudo chmod -R 755 /mach_kernel

reboot with -v -f

[Firewalk]

hi there mrburns05, thanks for the help. do you know if this is likley to brake my system?.

Firewalk

[mrburns05]

its possible, backup your mach_kernel and System.kext before hand, if it brakes replace em again

in windows you can use macdrive

in another tiger or leo - easy as 123 - if you have another install to use

[Firewalk]

Thank You i have installed and all seems ok.. will test . do you know what improements these have?.

[WinLinMac01]

THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU...!!! GOING TO TRY THESE NOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP MYSELF FROM SAYING THANK YOU. Oh wait...there...=)
This is an amazing update for us. I've been longing for this since the last Apple Update came out. Now there shouldn't be any problems with Time Machine. - Cheers

Let's have a toast in the Lounge section. :D

[WinLinMac01]

mrburns05, you're a life-saver. ;-)

[mrburns05]

Im not sure of the improvements actually, i just like having all the latest, so i figured ill be the guinea pig here...The whole system seems a bit smoother and more responsive .

your welcome ! :-)

thank the maker- if any of us ever figure that out

[agrafuese]

odd that netkas isn't connected to this one. maybe it's TOH then... hmm, an anonymous contributor :) anyhow, thanks for this mrburns05. trying out a retail install tonight, so this will come in handy later :)

[mrburns05]

iasked in the irc, no one seemed to really know much about it,

one suggested "modbin"

never heard of him/her/them before

[WinLinMac01]

yep, it's ToH alright. =)) amazing

[jaywhy]

Is this 64bit kernel?
I don't know improvement. How about this kernel?

[WinLinMac01]

No its not, soley x86-32 bit.

;-)

jaywhy:Is this 64bit kernel?
I don't know improvement. How about this kernel?

[CyCLoBoT]

Just tried this right now and noticed that in System Profiler, its showing "Total Number Of Cores: 1".

I have AMD X2 processor. Any way to fix this?

[mrburns05]

CyCLoBoT:Just tried this right now and noticed that in System Profiler, its showing "Total Number Of Cores: 1".

Not sure if its fixable, both cores are still running though, minw does the same

[mrburns05]

see here, shows both cores doing separate tasking

<img src="http://mrburns05.com/images/cpu.png" />

[CyCLoBoT]

Mine shows two cores as well. But it just looks better when it shows 2.

[bhast2]

works great
thanks

[WinLinMac01]

Anybody care to setup a tutorial in how to install the latest kernel?

Do any of you think this is one of Zephyroth's surprises since its probably not ToH who wrote the modified kernel after all?

What do you all think? :D

:D :D :D ;-)

[YamatoHD]

Zephiroth, definately!
Who else can we trust? Zephiroth, keep up the good work!

[DoiX]

winlinmac use kernel installer (made by pcwiz) search insanelymac, sorry but i don't have time to give you a direct link, bye

[bhast2]

i don't think it was Zephiroth that made this or he would have said something somewhere on the forum

[Puttabong]

Good News, thanks to whoever released this :)

WinLinMac01, rename mach_922 to mach_kernel and use pcwiz's kernel installer, as suggested by DoiX:

http://mac.kbot.de/pcwiz-mac-osx86-kernel-installer/

[bhast2]

now all we need is the time machine update to work on our systems

[WinLinMac01]

Well, he did say something about "surprises." You never know, it can be Apple who released too you know (just kidding) =) Thank you whoever did this. And thank you to DoiX and Puttabong that have eased my kernel installation process. Greatly, appreciated.

bhast2:i don't think it was Zephiroth that made this or he would have said something somewhere on the forum

[Puttabong]

@WinLinMac01, I believe the Pcwiz kernel installer is only for the kernel (mach_kernel) itself.

To apply the needed System.kext as well, follow this & backup your files before you start:

mrburns05:to apply, replace system.kext in /System/Library/Extensions

repair permissions:

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext

replace mach_kernel with new one in / (rename to mach_kernel if its not already)- you may need onyx to show hidden files.
mach kernal goes in /

repair permissions

sudo chown -R root:wheel /mach_kernel
sudo chmod -R 755 /mach_kernel

reboot with -v -f

[bhast2]

for the system.kext i just used kext helper
and for the mach kernel i followed the steps above in my terminal and it worked great

will sleep work now???

[Puttabong]

Thanks again for the great news mrburns05, I wrote an article at Infinite Mac. :)

[monsieur.d]

Hi Mrburns05.

What is that program you use that shows CPU usage graphs in the menu bar with a translucent black background?

Thanks.

Monsieur D.

[bhast2]

its called istat you can get it here
http://www.islayer.com/

[minibuu]

Okay, so if you install this should you still avoid the Time Machine update?

[bhast2]

i would avoid it

[Voyn1x]

bhast2:i would avoid it

I wouldn't, the only reason we had to avoid the Time Machine update was because of the system.kext and 9.2.2 kernel it installed.

Now we have these it should be safe, just make sure you replace the kernel and system.kext AFTER you install the update – also make sure you run Marvins before you restart, otherwise your system won't boot!

[creative_]

installed the new kernel and system.kext...it optimized my system a lot

--> -7sec to boot
--> programs running smoother

[minibuu]

I am having trouble with the update/replace process. When I run the updater it wont install the updates right away. What it does is downloads then tell me to restart, and then installs the updates while it restarts preventing me from replacing anything. How are you guys doing it so that you can update and replace?

[CyCLoBoT]

I usually download the updates from Apple's site. Then when you install it normally, it will ask you to restart after installation and then you can replace whatever you want before pressing the Restart button.

[minibuu]

cool thanks

[DoiX]

ehe :) the kernel isn't working with my system, it causes kernel panic, too bad :(

[agrafuese]

try repairing permissions on it if you can (from spare installation or install DVD). sometimes, for whatever reason, the terminal manual permissions commands don't get deep inside the file enough, and leave certain contents untouched. really frustrating, actually. hope that helps :\

[DoiX]

i tried that... tried even pcwiz's kernel installer, its just not working :|

[bhast2]

do not install the time machine update because even if you replace these files it still doesn't work
it will boot up
i see my desktop and than it goes blue screen than back to desktop than blue screen
back and forth i had to do a bunch of repairs to get this working again thank god i have leopard on another drive

[gipo]

upgrade... done. All seems to be ok... only thing, before mach_kernel was invisible now is visible... how to hidden it again?

[agrafuese]

there's a thread here on that gipo. do a search.

[mindlessmissy]

Why Do i have this feeling that this is Bogus... Isn't the system version supposed to read something like 9C7010 instead of 9C31 if the kernel and system is indeed 9.2.2 ???

[Xxp/TuX]

Does support processors with sse2 instructions?.Anyone can confirm this?

[roisoft]

you need the time machine update for 9C7010.

[gipo]

agrafuese:there's a thread here on that gipo. do a search.

Yes... thanks. It's here

Think i'll wait for an "offical" release from NetkasYep, I'm having the same problem too - Kernel Panic on reboot. No amount of permission repair can fix the problem. I'm wondering if the Time Machine update is a prerequisite for this Kernel to be used?

[Firewalk]

working fine here. system seems alot smoother. i havent done the timemachine update..

[bhast2]

Don't do the Timemachine Update it totally crashed my system
Firewalk:working fine here. system seems alot smoother. i havent done the timemachine update..

[Ianxxx]

I ran the update no problems but with pacifist -kernel & system.kext. But then had to run marvins and get patches before reboot.
But I assure you update installs fine without kernel.What it does is another matter!

[spy974]

Amazing. It works.
Thanks a lot.
Just one thing : it tells me that I have one core. Is there a way I can know if the cores are used ?

Thanks,

[WinLinMac01]

Thanks for warning us in advance.

@thanks to all who told me about the kernel update process. ;-)

Disregard that. I can assure that both cores are indeed running. =)

Is it just my or did anybody else notice that there system fan now runs all the time after installing this???
I just installed it on my laptop and now my fan seems to be on alot more??? Could just be me!

[YamatoHD]

im having problems with the update....
Yes, with this kernel system is a bit faster, but i cant boot in normal mode, only with -v -f

I get a kernel panic if i boot in normal mode...

[kristouf]

Xxp/TuX:Does support processors with sse2 instructions?.Anyone can confirm this?
I have an AMD SSE2 only and the kernel is not working :( Anybody can confirm that this is not compatbile with SSE2 only CPU?

YamatoHD:im having problems with the update....

I get a kernel panic if i boot in normal mode...

-v -f shouldnt change that, "-v -f" only tells it to show what normally loads in the background, -f forces extension loading and kernel caching i believe, i may be wrong.
So your still in normal mode once booted, just without the Apple Loading screen at boot.

I have all updates - including time machine update applied, i just dont use time machine though.

how did you install the time machine update???

[bajanboy]

I am very curious that some people are reporting that the kernel 9.2.2 and system.kext patch for AMD works. I have updated my perfectly working system and it broke it(wont boot, white apple screen with spinning gear). Well I yanked it out and I'm back to normal.

Lessons learned: If it aint broke, dont fix it ! LOL

Oh, btw...it has to be blessed Zephyroth or eddie11c before I use anything again !

[vele]

Do i need 10.5.2 update before installing the new 9.2.2 and System.kext or can I do it straight from 10.5.1

[vele]

One more question. Is sleep working with this kernel?

[ka911]

here how I install it!
unzip the download file, then rename mach_922 to mach_kernel and use pcwiz's kernel to install it
use kext helper b7 to install System.kext (I did run kext permission for mach_kernel if need it)
reboot
and now I'm running 9.2.2 with out problem! this update fix my issue with reboot and shutdown.

BUT I see only 1 Core with full core speed of 2.6Ghz. I have Dual-core 2.6 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processor. I don't see any problem sofar, and I don't know if my Leo read 1 core it will make any different!

[althon]

Is this kernel PC_EFI only?
Couse I'm without EFI and when I use this kernel I get instant reboot system.

[mrburns05]

i installed time machine update with software update, then pathed it in tiger, and replaced dsmos.kext, system.kext, and mach_kernel

[bhast2]

got all the updates now
even the time machine one
system seems alot faster

[WinLinMac01]

WOW, that's good to hear. Thanks for trying. Now its my turn. ;-)

bhast2:got all the updates now
even the time machine one
system seems alot faster

[bhast2]

before you restart you must run marvin's amd utility and decrypt the files
than put patches on your desktop
than boot -s
than type
mount -uw /
cd /users/yourusername/desktop/patches
./replace.sh
./patcher cpuid.txt
quit
reboot

DOWNLOAD LINK http://www.mediafire.com/?5n0gbzyd1ym
this is the patches folder for time machine update

[ludacrisvp]

Properly installed the 9.2.2 kernel and system.kext and my system just hangs on boot.
I can boot with the 9.2.2 kext with my 9.2.0 kernel but my time machine doesnt work properly with either system.kext.
It is making backups but i cannot enter time machine it just crashes finder.
Any Ideas?

[WinLinMac01]

thanks again. =)

[laxattack]

after downloading patches and following guide above i am now running leopard on my AMD with time machine update and 9.2.2 kernel

[bhast2]

glad it worked

[Snow]

:(

I messed up my system yesterday cause of kernel update. Now in the new install I figured I'll do this the proper way.

- Update system.kext with kext helper
- Update Kernel with kernel helper (or whatever its called)
- To make sure repair permissions for system.kext
- To make very sure set permission to kernel.

And now my system boots to Firewire message and then it halts without error and the harddrive shuts down.
I tried booting with -v -f to no use. WTF is up with that. If I have to do another reinstall I will go insane. This is windows all over, even getting worse, a lot worse.

Any help is very very very appreciated. Goddamnit

[Snow]

Is it possible to fix Leo from within Tiger?

That would make things a lot easier now and in the future.

Thx

[bhast2]

yes you can fix leo with tiger just repair permissions
after your done

[Snow]

Didnt work bud, Im now looking at another reinstall, wonderfull. Ya gotta love OSX on AMD!
Oh, shall I have another go at the new kernel? I guess not :/

[bhast2]

how are you installing the new kernel and kext files??

[Snow]

method described above. To be sure I set permissions after using kext helper and kernel installer.

Could someone tell me how you can properly recover from a panic or non bootable OS within Tiger or DVD. I don't think it's even possible right?

I didn't get a panic so this is another issue happening here.

[bajanboy]

It seem that a lot of people are having problems with the new mach_kernel 9.2.2 and system.kext,
on the other hand some said that they were able to get it working. I myself have tried it and it
did not work for me. What is so confusing here are the bits-and-peices of information from the
people who claim to having it working. Can someone who has it working write in clear steps what
they did and tell the rest of us what system hardware they are using because I think this is related
to system hardware configuration rather than the new kernel upgrade itself.

Cheers !!

[YamatoHD]

It works perfectly for me, i have just one tiny trouble, cant boot in normal mode (getting kernel panic)

Can boot only with "-v -f"

[creative_]

I have the same problem since yesterday dunno why :( can only boot with "-f"

[mrburns05]

creative_:I have the same problem since yesterday dunno why :( can only boot with "-f"

wierd, what cpu do you guys have?

mines been fine, i have an Athlon64 X2 3800+ (socket 939)

[YamatoHD]

mine is Athlon64 X2 4000+ (socket AM2)

[Puttabong]

Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (Socket 939), The Kernel works fine here :-)

I boot with -v only!

[Voyn1x]

Okay guys i've now fixed the panic i was having with this kernel.

My guess is that everyone who is having issues has the Xcode Developer Tools installed. If so follow these instructions:

http://mac.kbot.de/kernel-panic-after-installing-xcode-on-osx86/#more-91

After removing the CHUD kexts it booted fine for me. I have no idea why it worked with the 9.2.0 kernel and not 9.2.2 though...

Hope this helps others :)

[eddie11c]

This kernel does not work on my AMD, when it boots it says 64bit enabled then halts soon after it gets the boot device.

[R0GUE]

Here's a small update:
I removed the Chud kexts and now have the 9.2.2 Kernel working, however, it won't work if I use the System.kext (9.2.2) that came with it. Initially I was getting an AppleNForceATA.kext error on boot, so I rebooted into single user mode and put back the 9.2.0 System.kext and now have a bootable system. So far so good...

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1715/picture1io8.png

[emaxxx]

With 9.2.2 "About this mac" isn't working for me. I also have problems with restart or shutdown, they only works from command line into Terminal.
Can anyone help about this issue?

[Snow]

I had kernel panics before but now I'm good.

Running 9.2.2 here but haven't updated the system.kext yet so this might be the cause of panic and crashes.
About this mac works here, profiler shows only 1 core but activity monitor shows 2 cores running so all good.

Eddie, I'm using your Leo4all v2 release (which is great btw) so I don't know why it's not working for you, try without the system.kext.

Good luck!

[YamatoHD]

no, i dont have xcode installed, but i can boot only with -f

[peppi]

YamatoHD:no, i dont have xcode installed, but i can boot only with -f

-f means force to load kext, so it loads the new system. kext i guess.
Shure you deleted extentions.kext to remove the cache?
Maybe it will work afterwards without -f
P

[peppi]

- amd64 SSE3

With my System no way to run the new kernel.

kernel + system.kext -> panic
kernel + old system.kext -> panic
old kernel + system.kext -> panic
(i have 2 systems, exchanging files and repair permissions + marvin from leo2 on leo1, so no handling mistake)
ill stay with the old one then...
P

[faxesystem]

Not one problem here. Works perfectly

I did install the kernel by hand -->

1) Using Terminal, rename the “mach_kernel” (9.2.0) in root (/) directory to “mach_kernel_old”.

sudo -s
cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_old
2) Move the “mach_kernel” (9.2.2) from your desktop to root (/) directory.

cp desktop/mach_kernel /mach_kernel
3) Repair permissions.

cd /
chown -R root:wheel mach_kernel
chmod -R 755 mach_kernel
4) Reboot.

system.kext was installed via kext helper

reboot and everything worked

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+

NVIDIA Ge-Force 6800 GT
Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev1

[DoiX]

i see that most single core processor users have problems with this kernel.. :(

[onAir]

yamatoHD remove extensions.mkext and reboot without any -f or whatever...
______________________
my system worked with 9.2.2 kernel and system.kext better than now with all updates installed
sure i ran marvin's utility and replaced decrypts and all patches worked.

to be honest my system was perfect with and without new kernel. just the timemachine update messed it up
now i have short mouse movement bugs again sometimes, but they go away after a minute or so...
also buggy transmission, firefox and ssx
hmm i wish i did make a backup partition before installing the updates, damn it!

despite im already saving money for an intel system i appreciate every help and hint i get for these annoying things

my relevant specs are:

msi k8n neo 4 platinum - socket 939 nforce 4 ultra - amd x2 4600 @ 2,8 GHz - 2GB CellShock DDR1 RAM @ 500 MHz
Zeph's OSX 10.5.2 rev.2 9C7010 Kernel 9.2.2 on IDE HDD

[Snow]

Is the new system.kext nesessary to run the new kernel properly?

I ask this because I have only updated the kernel and Leo seems to run stable so far.

Thx

[peppi]

Hi Snow,
found this in another forum, so seems to work without System.kext as well but there are some sidekicks probably:

>The system.kext can be added later, it is just for the bom.archiever and
>the diskimagemounter to work. Run diskutility after replacing it in System/
>Library/Extensions.

So why is it working for you? Single Prozessor? Did you apply time machinge update before? SMBIOS version?
It seems no one could find out the issue why it sometimes works and sometimes it won't.

P

[Snow]

- Im using Eddies Leo4all v2 which has the updated Time Machine integrated
- I'm also using the default SMBIOS from Leo4all v2
- Using A64 X2 4200+ here
- Diskimagemounter works, so does everything else it seems

Maybe I have done something wrong before with the system.kext and it works when I try it again but I'm too scared. I'm not the scared type but when it comes to another friggin reinstall I'm VERY CAUTIOUS.

Anyway, hope this info helps some peeps. I really suggest you try the kernel first as described by Roisoft a few posts back. I forgot all about this.

Laters

[WinLinMac01]

Interesting, because it worked on your release too (on my system). I updated the kernels on both your version and Zephyroth's and works like a charm.

eddie11c:This kernel does not work on my AMD, when it boots it says 64bit enabled then halts soon after it gets the boot device.

[peppi]

WinLinMac: so whats your configuration then, maybe that'll help us...

Single Prozessor?
Did you apply Time Machinge Update along/before that update?
SMBIOS version?
Only kernel or System.kext also?
...

P

[WinLinMac01]

@peppi, never installed the Time Machine update with Zephyroth's release after following up with what other's have said. My SMBIOS is the latest from March 28. I replaced both kernel and System.kext as well. Below are my specs (and yes, it is a uniprocessor)-

[WinLinMac01]

I am very sure now that it was ToH who released this kernel. I was keeping my face locked on my screen, and before Leopard booted, I selected verbose mode, and noticed for a fraction-of-a-second three letters, ToH. Right there and then, I knew for a fact that it was ToH who released this kernel. Any objections? Feel free to comment. =)

[Helikutt]

I had kernel panic problem when I tried to boot without -v -f.

But after removing extensions.mkext from System/Library
and Caches folder from System/Library/Extensions
my system boot correctly without bootflags.

Hope this helps some of you

Hi WinLinMac01,
thats even stranger then, coz my config is quite similar, execpt the sata part. I am running Leo on IDE.
Same SMBIOS, no TimeMachine Update.

Are those who can not use the kernel running on IDE too?
Maybe that is an issue, as even -v doesn't show up with some errormessages, the System just stops loading,
so maybe its something about the HD Driver....

How did you get SATA to work? I placed AppleNForceATA.kext v1.0.3 inside the plugins folder of IOATAFamily.kext,
maybe you use a different driver on that?

[psychonautuk]

The xcode fix worked for me, thanks. System far more snappy!

[WinLinMac01]

I used the SATA driver that was included in the NVIDIA chipset (2/3/4/5) that was in the DVD before I begun the installation. Can it be that I have only one hard drive in my system, SATA? I still doubt that part.

peppi: WinLinMac01:@peppi, never installed the Time Machine update with Zephyroth's release after following up with what other's have said. My SMBIOS is the latest from March 28. I replaced both kernel and System.kext as well. Below are my specs (and yes, it is a uniprocessor)-

can anyone tell me why my pc is rebooting automatically every night? is it a bug or just a cleaning procedure i have to switch off?

im not sure if it comes from kernel 9.2.2

[WinLinMac01]

Well if the system is on while you are using it or if it is inactive at nights, could be something wrong with your time configuration settings, or it can be something else that I am probably not aware off.

Mine has always suffered from random restarts, particularly when leaving the machine running over night. Looking through my crash logs reveals kernel trap errors specific to Safari, these result in a panic therefore forcing the system to restart itself. However, I am probably my own worse enemy as I use a lot of input managers that require SIMBL, these can cause stability issues as they are essentially hacks. If I use Firefox as my main browser stability returns.

[WinLinMac01]

Well, hopefully this is not as result of kernel version 9.2.2. ;D

WinLinMac01:Well, hopefully this is not as result of kernel version 9.2.2. ;DThankfully no. I've been having these problems since day one on my system right back to 10.5.1, so the kernel is not the issue. I suspect its a hardware vs. kext issue thats causing my problem. Fortunately its doesn't happen much when I'm on the machine or in the middle of something. Still a tad annoying though and I will investigate it further when I have a little more time.

New Universal release Intel/AMD & New Kernel installer by Kalyway.


Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd (sse2/sse3) EFI V8
you can find HELP on:
#kalyway.DVD irc.osx86.hu
#leopard irc.osx86.hu

Read carefully !!!

if you want adding drivers support to dvd boot you must put the Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd folder on your desktop then put kexts you want add to dvd extensions in the ADD_KEXT_TO_DVD folder (you can find natit for ati hd in this folder) and run Add_kext_to_dvd_boot.command !!!

all ich support !
sitll remain problem with jmicron ide dvd support !
based on slipstream script by DENSE !
ich9 support by DUNE !

Notes: if you have problems on reboot with video gfx (blue or black screen)
All you have to do is just press F8 at Darwin's prompt and then type -s (single user mode) then

at root type mount -uw /

and /movevideodrivers

then it will be prompt to move video drivers by class ( nvidia ; ati ; or intel gma) voila!

type yes to confirm or enter to skip !

Even if you have chosen a kernel at install, you can still try the others kernels after installation ! (same thing for dvd boot except that only modbinkernel , speedstepkernel , kabylkernel and nforcekernel are available as boot options !)

All you have to do is just press F8 at Darwin's prompt and then type the kernel's name you want to boot with :

[WinLinMac01]

SWEET! Would like to try this in addition to Zephyoth's and Leo4All's. When did he come up with this?

[eddie11c]

Those kernels may or may not work for everyone, the reason being these were all binpatched. Apple has not released the source code yet for the new kernel or Netkas would compile a true universal version. I suggest waiting for this, as stability can be an issue with binpatched kernels. Just my 2 cents...

[WinLinMac01]

That makes sense actually. I would wait too. I'll see where my mind takes me. Thanks for your response buddy. =)

looks like the 922modbin kernel from kalyway's installer works great for me :) it boosted my xbench score from 75 to 83

That's a boost. =)

[mrburns05]

I beleive thats kernel i first posted at the beginning of this thread... in irc i was told "modbin" but still was unsure...Had never heard of modbin before

[eMatoS]

I get the best performance with the initialy posted kernel, I've tried kalyway's kernels but don't work as good as the "original".
My motherboard is an Asus A8N-SLI. (nforce4-sli)

It's not the 9.2.2 kernel.

I'm having the same "self reboot" issue here too. But It's been happening on all the kernel's I've tried (9.0.0,9.1.0,9.2.0,9.2.2). Initially it was whenever I was away from the system, but recently and more recurring it's happening in the middle of whatever I'm doing. From Safari to msn, Logic to Activity monitor (and of course on it's own) Just seems to be really unstable. Bit frustrating as EVERYthing else for me is peachy!

Eddie, or anyone else, do you know which kernel is the most stable? I'm having very frustrating issues getting my system to remain stable with some software, in particular EyeTV which keeps crashing. I'm wondering if I'm using the wrong kernel and maybe there is a better one? I'm using the AMD SSE2 kernel which comes with Eddie's Leo4All V2 disc.

[^fire^]

does any1 have the original system.kext for me!? (Zeph 10.5.2 rev2)
i've forgot to make an backup and have some kernel panics now!
i would really appreciate it!

thx in advice

[^fire^]

seren:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7T8G33ZO

there are no System.kext in that archive :(
its looks like it contains AppleSMBIOS.kext

[gradient]

I installed kernel and had major probs. Didn't back up since it was a newer install and didn't really mind.

I deleted mach_kernel, deleted System.kext, and reinstalled from Leo4All v2. My system STILL won't boot. Is there anything else I can try? or should I just format and reinstall?

It hangs right after bootloader. I can run -f to reload extensions, but then it just reboots w/o an error. is it normal to say "Loading HFS File [mach_kernel]" twice in a row? same with Extensions.mkext

Thank you

[mrburns05]

after install Leo4all my system wouldnt boot either, i replaced AppleACPIPlatform.kext, and AppleNforceATA.kext,(with the ones from Zeph's) then it worked.

It is normal to see "Loading HFS File [mach_kernel]" twice in a row...

also i noticed that running marvins amd utility form another working install found a few more cpuid's that needed to be patched on the fresh Leo4all install

[gradient]

mrburns, did you get those kexts from the dvd? or are they available somewhere?

aim me at
"a
phan
ta
smo"

if you can, thanks!

[mrburns05]

i dont have aim, but i actuall got them from another install, i can send em to ya, gimme a minute and i will put up a link

[mrburns05]

http://www.mediafire.com/?jvnfzg0d4xx

dont forget to repair permissions !

speaking of witch, did you repair permissions the first time you tried replacing things?

sudo chown -R root:wheel /"Your LEO disk"/System/Library/Extensions/"whatever.kext"
sudo chmod -R 755 /"Your LEO disk"/System/Library/Extensions/"whatever.kext"

sudo chown -R root:wheel /Your LEO disk"/mach_kernel
sudo chmod -R 755 /Your LEO disk"/mach_kernel

[mrburns05]

or instead of /"Your LEO disk"/System/Library/Extensions/"whatever.kext"

you can take care of em all at once with

/"Your LEO disk"/System/Library/Extensions/*

[gradient]

yeah, I did repair permissions. I acually just use the kext helper included with leo4all, and then manually check the permissions thru term.. I am going to try it now with the new files.

thank you for the upload!

[WinLinMac01]

Question: Is this supposedly the modbin_kernel included in Kalway's and Eddie11c's releases? I was just wondering, thanks... ;-)

[mrburns05]

yes

[WinLinMac01]

thanks for that confirmation. Its what I was hoping. =)

mrburns05:yes

[ToroLoco]

How can I check if I have installed correctly the new kernel?

[zephyroth]

Apple Menu ---> About This Mac ---> More Info ---> Software

[mrburns05]

or in terminal type: uname -a

[Puttabong]

or uname -r to show the kernel version only

http://www.imagehut.eu/images/65566Bild%207.png

[mrburns05]

Puttabong:or uname -r to show the kernel version only

http://www.imagehut.eu/images/65566Bild%207.png
ahh- thats what it was - i could not remember

[ToroLoco]

Well With the kext helper and the pcwiz the update couldn't be done, even if everything seams to work correct. I have tried once again updating manual but I have kernel panic on the restart.

Any ideas?

[mrburns05]

the kernel doesnt work for everyone- maybe your one of the unlucky ones, best thing to do at this point= forget about it and enjoy your leopard install

[WinLinMac01]

Do this (my method):

Download the new kernel and system.kext

Use kext-installer first to install the new system kext.
Then, copy the mach_922 to your desktop and rename that to mach_kernel
Install kernel-installer by PCWiz and rename your existing kernel as mach_kernel.backup when you receive the prompt
Then when the installer asks for the directory where your new kernel is located, point the directory to your desktop where mach_kernel is
Finally, the installer will ask you where you would like to place the new kernel, point the file to the root when asked and
the installation should be successful.

Worked splendily for me. =)

[DoiX]

i suggest using the modbin kernel form kayways installer, that did the job for me, with the normal 9.2.2 kernel i get kernel panic

[WinLinMac01]

@Doix, but aren't both of those kernels the same thing?

[StealthMode]

I can't seem to get past Firewire Full Secure Mode when I use modbinkernel, so far sleepkernel works the best, though I can't seem to reboot, it gets where the screen turns off and then it just hangs, so I have to hit the reset button every time.

I did this but didn't worked, still having kernel panics on the restart. I should maybe forget the new kernel and stay as it is.

Try sleep kernel or modkernel included in Kalways or Leo4all's release.

How I will find it, since I have problem with the sleep function I wanted to change the sleep kernel. I have Leo4allv3 is it in there?

[zephyroth]

I managed to fix the sleep function by putting ACPI to "S0" mode in BIOS.

[ToroLoco]

Will you post the working kexts???
