Psystar goes Open Source
Quote:
Darwin Universal Boot Loader DUBL is short for Darwin Universal Boot Loader. Originally based boot-132 from Apple. This software builds on prior open source and incorporates advanced graphics capabilities along with a few new features. In it current form it allows initialization of 10.6 (Snow Leopard) XNU kernels. Default boot architecture is i386 although K64 (native 64bit) can be achieved via arch=x86_64 boot option. Note when using K64, kernel extension compatibility may vary including Apple's own, hence our theory why they haven't brought K64 to the masses. Null CPU Power Management NullCPUPowerManagement is an XNU kernel extension for use with OS X to prevent a kernel panic caused by incorrectly configured HPET devices on generic x86 hardware. Note, this extension overrides the CPU power management functionality making the CPU run at full throttle all the time. This in turn gives better performance but reduces battery life on mobile units. Elliott Force Legacy RTC ElliottForceLegacyRTC is an extension that fixes ACPI issues which became problematic with 10.6 without patching/replacing the DSDT (prevent bios settings reset on Snow Leopard). Thank you Dave for coming up with this idea...patching sucks. Note, this extension does no detection and blatantly forces the RTC length to 2 bytes, which should be the correct value on x86 systems. Open Halt Restart OpenHaltRestart is a kernel module solution to a problem most generic x86 computers experience when restarting OS X. This module makes sure all cores are properly shutdown so that the system actually reboots instead of hitting the while(1) infinite loop in the restart function of the xnu kernel. Realtek R1000 Realtek kernel extension for 8111(X) chip sets for 10.6.X. Note this extension does not support K64 operation. It will compile x86_64 and load but does not function correctly. Patches welcome. Quote:

why, you paid for it? last court thing I saw made it look like they were going to be legally bitten in the ass, i think its good they are releasing it before they disappear off the face of the planet
it seems they are going to be releasing different versions of what they give paid, as they don' have compiled versions available last time I checked is there an alternative to Elliott Force Legacy RTC ? |

wait so.. does this mean we get Pystar's software interface for free? Because ive had a lot of trouble getting Snow to work... maybe I should give it a try...

Nope, I did not pay for it and never will I was just hoping that they would be totally out, like no trace at all. Well ... maybe except for OpenHaltrestart .. lol.
