thanks for the share. I assume that this kernel runs also on amd machines? I am asking cause I am running snow 10.6.7 on amd opteron 185 X2 and nforce4 chipset.

Also , any info , how we can pack pbs wih upx , patch it for 32bit mode?

Get the UPX file from Andys other thread and put him where he belongs after open Terminal and put this

And yes kernel works for AMD

I believe you mean this thread: .

thank you for the upx command!

No, use my custom upx and pack it (or any other upx).
E.G. upx -9 /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs

ok thanks , I have decrypted and patched binaries with marvin's amd utility and some amd_insn_patcher , so things should be smooth with upx.

thanks mate!

My Specs:

Motherboard: Tyan S2865 K8E
Cpu: Dual Core Amd Opteron 185 2600 MHz
Chipset: Nvidia Nforce4 chipset ultra
Graphics Card: Ati X700 Radeon Series
Lan Controller: Broadcom BCM 5721 GbE
Sound: Realtek ALC655 5.1 channel
Memory: DDR SDRAM PC3200 2048

System Version:
Mac OS X
10.6.3
10D575

I installed the kernel , packed pbs with upx , but during boot I have the : patch_text_segment failed.

When I got online , I saw that nothing from the important stuff was crashing such as finder , disk uitlity , rest utilities , system preferences e.t.c , only safari , seamonkey and radium.

I managed to fix safari with upx , but not seamonkey and radium. Seamonkey had encrypted binaries which have been fixed with marvin's utility.

So i am booting with std_dyld=Yes with no problems.

That´s clear because if you use std_kernel=Yes you don´t use the custom dyld which is implemented into the kernel. If you use this kernel flag the kernel differs not to the nawcom kernel.

Would patching the libSystem.B.dylib fix this? Seems liek the file is crupted or the on the fly patching is not working

Also how do i build the kernel? is there instructions some were

With the voodoobuild script but building isn't required.
You can just use the mach_kernel (I assure you, it is built quite well, with latest Xcode tools V4.0)
