cpu

i believe i am using the mach kernel, if poss. could you diect me or show how to apply the voodoo kernel.

Thanks alot Taisto, that did the trick i appreciate it, now if i can just find a way to upgrade to 10.5.6 without bricking my system that would be amazing...

Actually i just changed my profile so my specs should show up now .

sorry, still sort of a noob. I think this is it it's from everest. Thanks i will take a look, and thanks for your help.

tried the update and it didn't work actually i got some script error while asu was checking for cpuids then it froze solid. i rebooted and the new bootloader doesn't work. so i used the kalyway disc and booted to hd using the install disc and all is fine. now i need to know how to restore old bootloader. anyone?

never mind i repaired bootloader with OSx86 tools, worked like a charm. Still can't update though. gotta be something i am doing wrong.thanks for all the help erick2red

Okay i did a update to 10.5.5 and now i reboot and get this error and it hangs in the boot process. cpu lite is on the whole time but nothing happens. max time left on 10min.

error "failed to load extension com.apple.driver.apple.usbehci"

i only assume this is a error b/c of the word failed and the fact that the text is in yellow.

Any ideas would be great. for those of you that have helped thank you for your patients with this newbie. But i AM LEARNING...SLOWLY:-|

i did what you asked but i took a picture instead

oops sorry man.i can't seem to get the image up. i keep getting this is not a valid image... oh boy i am just not having any luck

i can't seem to get it but the warning i get is
unable to unload extension com.orByte.driver.pcgenusbehci.
and the boot freezes at
extension "com.apple.driver.itunesphonedriver" has no explicit kernel dependency;using version 6.0

one other error i get is:
warning:skipping personalities in blacklisted kext com. apple.driver.apple cpupowermanagement

and thats at the start

Ok you can officially laugh really hard erick2red b/c i did what you requested and i rebooted then i had to go do something and then came back 15 min later and the d%$m was booting up.i might add though extremely slow. so i guess now i have to get my stuff working now ie: sound. Video seems to be working great dual monitor no prob. all in safe boot though thanks alot for bearing with me man i am slow but eventually i get it. I am going to try to reboot into normal mode. thanks again

Wahoo all is great got my sound back by using kext helper and installing my old kext. regular boot up a little on the slow side but it did boot up. still had the usb thing in yellow text but all usb is working. i still have to wait to plug my external hd til after boot up other wise freezes but thats alright. so thanks again to erick2red i use the two kext files updated the efi and patched the dsdt and also replaced the seatbelt kext. then just updated from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 with combo update.

What kernel are u using ? Install Voodoo final kernel 9.5, should work fine.

Here`s the kernel : xnu-dev.googl ecode.com/files/Voodoo_Kernel_Release_1.0_Rev_A.dmg

There`s an installer so you don`t have to do annything. Just download, use the installer, let it do it`s job and restart.

@impressionsThanks alot Taisto, that did the trick i appreciate it, now if i can just find a way to upgrade to 10.5.6 without bricking my system that would be amazing...

post your hardware specs,

@impressionsActually i just changed my profile so my specs should show up now .

u didn't say nothing about your chipset, but check this thread kalyway 10.5.2 ... →, son now, Disabler.kext, AppleDecrypt.kext and then try Zeph's ASU backing up your data first (kexts folder included)…

@impressionssorry, still sort of a noob. I think this is it it's from everest. Thanks i will take a look, and thanks for your help.

we're here for help, and i was a noob (still are) someday, don't be shame

The voodoo XNU 9.5.0 kernel only works with 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 correctly. Have you already stated the Activity Monitor to check if both cpu cores are used?

I've done the update downloading the dmg from apple (check SHA1 cause it fails many times) and installing just like on an intel pc. I could do that cause I had voodoo kernel and the disabler kext. Voodoo installs itself as mach_kernel.voodoo, so it isn't overwritten by the update, also I don't use any modded kext (except for the ps2 fix that I had to reinstall) Disabler takes care of appleintelcpu… and that's all I think.
Anyway you should do a backup just in case.

Good luck!

EDIT: once you got it running you should restore system and seatbelt kexts from a 10.5.5 installation. System kext is included into voodoo's installer and I can send you 10.5.5 seatbelt if you want.

Go to the update download page and you'll see an explanation there, it's just a command to check the file integrity, like md5.

try booting "-x" and let us know what shows the boot logs

so...where's the picture? or the logs or if boot up with "-x"

@impressionsi can't seem to get it but the warning i get is unable to unload extension com.orByte.driver.pcgenusbehci. and the boot freezes at extension "com.apple.driver.itunesphonedriver" has no explicit kernel dependency;using version 6.0 one other error i get is: warning:skipping personalities in blacklisted kext com. apple.driver.apple…

after this it reboots?

boot with "-x -v" and let me know if you reach login page
