New modbin kernel for AMD 10.5.4

this is for 10.5.4? I just updated and i cant use expose or spaces cant change background and i dont have dock! LOL

Well, all I can say is good work Modbin! This kernel + 10.5.4 works perfectly for me (Only thing not working on my Hac is the sleep function..)

@ Milanca:

Use the very smart search function on this page! Tip: Search for "about this mac"!

It's better to use the kext installer en kernel installer i think?
Edit: i used the Kext Helper b7, and Kernel Installer. And everything is working great

The speed on which the actual versions are available is amazing!

Apple should legalize OSx86. They can't do anything against it anyway because the community is already too big, and to say that it's unsafe is not working if we always have the actual versions so quickly.

noob question : i tried 10.5.4 update, it didnt work ( no dock etc. ) should i install this new kernel after updating to 10.5.4 and before restarting my pc?

I haven't enabled the other core yet to find out. Chances are that it won't change a thing as this bug has been present since 10.5.1

No way to install kernel 9.4.0 for SSE2 ? Is it for ever ? is it the same restrictions for 9.3.0 ?

Thanks,

Peloche,

did the update as well, everything smooth,
but System>preferencs>Keyboard&Mouse ist completely empty, just an empty pane,
everything else is fine.
Anyone an idea how to get the preferences back?
Thanks,
p

you mean System/Library... or Library/Preferences ?

@nfova8or, I think he means that this system preference pane displays no GUI:

@peppi, Sorry, unfortunately I don't know a solution for that problem.

right, exactly--- here if got just a blank screen.
Have just tried different kernels, but must be something different...
Well i'll try on...
Maybe someone can post his keyboard.prefpane, maybe theres something wrong with mine?
Greets,

Heeey Puttabong, jihaa,
this one did it! Everythng back to normal.
Strange thing as this pane was not included in the latest update,
but who knows how long i already had that problem, just realised it until then!
So thanks a lot for uploading!

for the people they have problems to upgrade to this kernel:

in my case i had to clear the caches after installing the kernel and system.kext

simply type:

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/
and reboot

that worked in my case!

befor i did this i got some strange kernel panics

grtx fire

Can someone help me, I updated my hack to 10.5.4 kernel 9.4 but when I install system.kext I get kernel panic. Any sugsettions how to solve this?

Try booting with DVD and reinstalling kernel 9.4.0 and system.kext. Did you install it manually or did you use kext helper? Maybe it was not properly installed.

@Lnerrrka

permissions for System.kext and mach_kernel are different.

<b>sudo-s
cp -R /path/to/mach_kernel /
chmod -R 644 /mach_kernel && chown -R root:wheel /mach_kernel
cp -R /path/to/System.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ && chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/</b>

and yes, it would help if you cleaned the caches after this.

kernel update to 9.4.0 - went just fine, but (!) system.kext (ver. 9.4.0) ruins my system ( luckily i have timemachine working - good tip: make tm backup before evri system update)
Tried to install the kext with 1) OSXtools, 2) kexthelper, 3)manually with chown+chmod, repair permissions - all the same -kernel panic or reboot loop.
so i'm still using system.kext ver 9.2.2, having no problem at all.
What is the real advantage of this new kext? Do i really need it?
my system :
10.5.4
kernel 9.4.0
Venice 3800
nforce4
GeForce 8500 512mb

P.S.
Tip:
if u have old 10gb disk, restore install dvd on it - otherwise 10 min booting from dvd is frustrating, every time when u need to restore the system...

I used the kernel installer linked in a post over at Leo4All I believe... That, along with "Kext Helper" made it easy to install the 9.4 kernel & system.kext on my 780G install. I updated 10.5.3 w/9.3 -> 10.5.4 w/9.4 using Zephyroth ASU 0.5, the kernel installer, and kext helper... It was easy and worked great.
