9.1.0 & 9.2.0 Kernels (Which one to install?)

I would like to clarify something. Is it true that users that installed 10.5.2 Zephyroth Release were required to install both 9.1.0 and 9.2.0 Kernels before proceeding to the installation? What if I only installed 9.2.0 Kernal and not the…

I would like to clarify something. Is it true that users that installed 10.5.2 Zephyroth Release were required to install both 9.1.0 and 9.2.0 Kernels before proceeding to the installation? What if I only installed 9.2.0 Kernal and not the 9.1.0? Is there a downside? Is there a benefit if I choose to install both Kernels?

- Thanks

Thanks, So I should have installed both kernels right? Is it suggested that I install both Kernals?

[cite] rumar4u:In my personal Experience the new 10.5.2 update worked with 2 files differently 1- Mach_Kernel 9.2 without the "NEW" dsmos.kext 2-old dsmos.kext from 10.5.1 Hope it helps
Author Update #2 @WinLinMac01 2008-02-19

lol, I did that for my booting problem, experienced and helped others, feel happy. I just hope it doesn't cause any problems. Do you know how to verify what kernal you are using? I think thats all I need to know.

[cite] rumar4u:My friend just mess around with it so you can learn up a bit and help others in a future, try to do what i just told you and you'll be up and running. HOW ? just follow your heart
Author Update #3 @WinLinMac01 2008-02-19

Thanx. Thats the best way to determine. =)

[cite] rumar4u:When the system boots, QUICKLY check in the upper side that it will tell you 9.2 by ToH (something similar) thats in 1 maybe 2 seconds span
Author Update #4 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-04

what? lol

[cite] art:Hmm... I dont install neither of them. And all work nice.
Author Update #5 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-05

I tried ticking both kernals, system did not work. You only tick one as others have said. =) oh, and I tried this when Zephyroth first released his last DVD.

[cite] eMatoS:how's that art?

Dont know exactly. Maybe installer copy some of them by default. Anyway I can post any information about system. Its working fine on my home PC now.

[cite] WinLinMac01:what? lol

Please read top.

Field Note #6 @zephyroth 2008-03-04

In fact when you don't select Kernel-9.1.0 and Kernel-9.2.0 the kernel installed is 9.0.0 ... Very simple no ?

Field Note #7 @eMatoS 2008-03-04

Hehehe, never thought it was an option, maybe you can add this detail to the description into the next release or patch.

Field Note #8 @gipo 2008-03-04

But it's necessary, if you wish to select Kernel-9.2.0, tick Kernel-9.1.0 as well or not?

Field Note #9 @zuz242 2008-03-05

i don´t think so. u can only use one kernel at a time, can´t you?
so u just tick 9.2.0.
