You need to read all the documentation that came with the kernel...

Quote:

Test 3 Audio/Video performance Passed: [_] Yes [_] No [_] With issues
Start up iTunes and play a song. You should observe no stuttering in the playback. Repeat this test with other audio players and also with system sounds. Does the audio play well? If yes, repeat the test with video players (Quicktime, DVD player, VLC etc.). Once you are satisﬁed with the audio/video performance, move on to the next test. Otherwise, follow debug procedure 2.

Quote:

Procedure 2 (General log collection)
1.Double-click the included “System_Information_Collection.command” ﬁle. It will create a ﬁle on your desktop with a name similar to “[email protected]”. Attach it to your report.
2.File a bug report on http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/issues mentioning the problem, ie. the test which failed, and how you performed the test. Attach the ﬁle you created in step 1. Also mention which other tests you performed and whether they passed or failed.

Do we need the cpuid.kext from the package?

No, it's only a diagnostic tool used in one of the debug procedures. It is not required during general use of your computer.

awesome news! what updates were made? Is the timeline for the final version still set back to near the end of OCT? Thanks for all your work with this release.

Updated the first post to indicate beta 2 is available. Anyone know how to edit the title of this thread? I tried but it still shows up as beta 1.

Oh and AMD users start stress testing this kernel already. Timing bug should be gone for good.

Awesome news. Thread updated! Again, great music selection!

Voodoo 9.5 kernel is working great. As i was spending much more time on my Intel box, latest version i used on AMD box, while we were still testing it, was alpha13. Even with voodoo_alpha13 it was working flawlessly. (Chipset is SB600)

With alpha version, and now with latest, i am using vanilla System.kext 9.5.0. Also using vanilla SMBIOS with SMBIOSResolver (thanks to roisoft). Also removed dsmos and installed AppleDecrypt (credits again for pointing me out go to roisoft, thanks buddy).

No sound problems, or any problems at all. Everything is working flawlessly. Was using efi string for sound (together with gfx and ethernet) with patched AppleHDA (taruga 1.20). Later, besides other vanilla files i switched also to vanilla AppleHDA (my sound chip from signature, ALC 889a) and its used with (HDAEnabler, LegacyHDAController and LegacyHDAPlatformDriver). Everything is running great.

Kernel working great with chameleon, awesome work

Any way to get -force64 working? I only get this Error with my nforce4-board:

Code:

kmod_control/start failed for com.orByte.driver.PCGen.USBEHCI.
Destroying kmod.

Then the boot process hangs
