Voodoo XNU 9.5.0 Kernel in Testing

@elicipIs there a 9.5.0 system.kext also?

Here's the 9.5.0 system kext (rogue.infinite mac.com/files/950_System_kext.zip). Happy testing

i tested the new 9.5.0 XNU kernel...
All seems to be ok except my audio was scratching for about 3 secs and then playing good.
This issue on every kind of sound opening it, even on system sounds like recycle bin's one, after some seconds the sound is ok...
Anyway restored back 9.4.0 XNU's one that work perfectly for me.

you didn't boot with your busratio

to fix sound you have to boot with busratio
like mine is fsb is 200
and my cpu is 2.6GHz
so it would be 2600 divided by 200
for a busratio of 13
so i boot with busratio=13

I can confirm that sound works right if you do that
this will be fix in the future as this is just alpha

How do i get my fsb? i also got 2.6 GHz...

Edit: Nevermind i also got fsb 200, so i got the same ratio...
Edit2: I can also confirm that audio is working good now...

I've also tried 64 bit mode, but it hangs after loading AppleNForceATA. Was not really expecting it to work but it is a beginning

I'll try bus ratio soon as possible... and i'll report results.
With cpuz can i find fsb and cpu frequency? i overclocked a little my system so it's not a standard value...
Thanks bhast...

Everythings going fine, but can't boot into 64bits, it locks when loading AppleNForceATA kext.

Everythings going fine and i can boot into 64bits!
But SystemProfile crashes!

@eMatoSEverythings going fine, but can't boot into 64bits, it locks when loading AppleNForceATA kext.

From a post I read earlier on InsanelyMac, this is because AppleNForceATA is based on AppleVIAATA which is a 32bit based kext. This is also the reason why nForce based systems have difficulty running 4gb of ram.

Damned! so, it won´t work in 64bits until the kext is re-developed.

From what i understand that is the case.

If you think that's bad then wait for Snow Leopard: :

In most cases Leopard can use the same drivers as Tiger. If there is a limitation, it usually stems from interaction with other kexts and bundles that have been updated. However, with the transition to Snow Leopard we do not have this functionality. 32 bit drivers DO NOT WORK in Snow Leopard. That's right, it ALL starts over.

64 bit is application based so kext will not effect the boot up

64 bit only turns on if the app needs it

Guys, please go here

And post those MSR values! This helps the developers to make a even more better kernel for AMD users

you're right p-J, they need some info on AMD systems, so come on guys!

@bhast264 bit is application based so kext will not effect the boot up 64 bit only turns on if the app needs it

Hmm, after investigating further you are right (at least for Leopard, see my previous post), but according to Mysticus C over on InsanelyMac, the 4gb ram issue is caused by incompatibility with the nForce driver and 64bit. I'm only guessing here but it is possible it could effect booting.

All perfect with alpha11, without bus ratio's boot, sounds is perfect.
Installed also system kexts from 10.5.5
