10.6.2 Kernel - Pcj XNU Release

I tried on my AMD rig using arch=x86_64 - at least it seems to boot, but drives me into a KP:



Having that fixed + a SSSE3 Emu Layer would be a high level great job. (Yes I propably should stop day-dreaming )

it almost worked for me but my ioatafamily.kext to fix slow slow boot times is only 32bit so it didnt boot. But I'll try to boot it again later.
For Imkantus: Try and rebuild your dsdt file, I've had that same kp before and when i rebuilt my dsdt it hasn't happened since.

Haven't been using modified DSDT.aml inject on that one - since using HPETDevice.kext by netkas made SleepEnabler work properly I was to lacy to mess with DSDT editing. Solution was a more simple one - my /Extra/Extensions.mkext was slimed down for i386; yet another example how obvious problem solutions can be.

It seems to work fine, but now I am having chipset driver difficulties similiar to yours but with using Andy's kext...



Anyway looks like some nice work been done by Pcj here.

Are you suggesting the 100% CPU problem is caused by "no SSSE3" or (SSE3 did you mistype)?

Pcj xnu v1.1 is out (Darwin 10.3.0) and it has the same features as v1.0.

thanks for the new patched kernel

but...

on my AMD Phenom II x4 965,
all 32-bits applications which were run with this kernel in the 64-bits mode,
got crashed & quit unexpectedly with the same errors as the BlackKnight/AnV/Qoopz' kernel :

Thats a unknown bug, happens to me too in 64 bit mode. The fix is to boot into 32bit.

[pcj]

i think this is know issue,
in AMD CPU, cause not add on-the-fly opnode,
so if you boot with arch=x86_64 or -force64,
it will can't not runing 32bit program.

I have an amd 64 Athlon system w/ 2GB ram.I am thinking about throwing it together, would have a nvidia 7300 LE pcie gfx card so I am thinking It would have decent support. I want to put it together to try and see how / if 64 bit is working for amd. What do you guys think ?

[scififan68]

JaS: If you want to experiment with 64bit mode, boot with -force64. True 64bit kernel space doesn't boot into a gui(as seen above).
