Legacy kernel 10.6.8 with custom dyld and new SSE3 emulator and VIA Nano cpu support - Page 16

blackknight · #**151** 09-26-2011, 09:08 PM

I'm curious if with the new AMD fusion processors supporting SSSE3 instructions if they will support full 64-bit mode on Lion and SL. I'm looking to get one of the new AMD FX processors when they release and they effectively support all of the intel instructions. What do you think Andy?

Snow Leopard: no doubt
Lion: Maybe, if they don't cause instant reset...

We need to test them to be sure...

bah new processor s

id like to see the old ones working 1st

Well, the new processors support all the intel instructions, whereas the old ones need emulators. Emulators that need to be written. I'm hoping that these new processors won't require much work.

10.7.2 Sources are out FYI

i compiled it with only patching it with the old diff from 10.7 no changes made to it patching went tru fine so i thought i compile it with xcode 4.1 maybe someone is eager to test it i havent yet

its compiled only in 32 bit

well here it is
10.7.2

map_text_segment_sys, maybe there is something wrong with the decryption algorithm or Apple encrypted more binaries.

Remembers me from Snow Leopard

Decryption hasn't succeeded yet (probably will retry)
patch_exec_obj_segment failed
map_segment failed

Damn, I want Lion

I checked the way Lion decrypts, it's the same way.
I should try to add a few patches and drop custom dyld and auto-patcher support.
Without the map_text_segment_sys syscall replacement (syscall 8) it might work...
Keeps you posted...

sounds promising atleast a bit

just post the diff ready to compile

whenever u are

this major update from apple with iCloud service, it seems Lion is essential....

Can't wait for the AMD kernel.

don't want to buy Intel system just for that.
