Check activity monitor , apps will be in 64-bit. Thats how real macs behave. This kernel DOES NOT HAVE PURE 64-BIT KERNELSPACE like vanilla. Thats a different issue, however it gives you 64-bit support for apps like real macs do. That is how apple advertises it.

Make sure you patched your cpuids and if it still kps go back to the modbin test7 kernel.(working alot better on my amd system)

if this was a cpuid patch issue, i think dashboard will kp on me with modbin kernel, but it doesn't.

this kernel works (for me) only with fakesmc, it kp at start with dsmos.
with fakesmc 2.5 dashboard crashes, with this kernel and modbin (kp).
with dsmos and modbin kernel, all is fine.

I have a question for the coder of this kernel:

I have a phenom that has a clock speed of 3.1GHz by default and can easily be overclocked beyond that. The problem is that there is a set cutoff for the value of busratio of 30. If I overclock the CPU to 3.4GHz and manually set busratio to 30 at startup, it works, but Snow Leopard thinks the CPU is only a 3.0 GHz. Is it possible to change this cutoff to say 40 which would allow an overclock of 4.0GHz for example and recompile? Otherwise, could someone help me in compiling it myself? This has apprently been an issue since the first Voodoo 1.0 kernel for Leopard.

Thanks.

someone made a kernel modified specifically for phenom, not sure if it was on here or insanleymac but it should be easy to find with a quick search
