Hi,

my pc is running quite good on 9.5 beta2.
The last remaining issu i have, is that both of my two running ethernet-cards (realtek and marvell) does not work after wake from sleep.

in Network-Preferences they appear connected, but they simply do not work ....
I tried to deactivate DHCP and put in my values manually .. but without success.

any ideas ?

have you reported it on the googlecode page for the kernel? this sounds like an issue with kextload not picking back up upon wake.

I`ve just noticed - dual core bug is fixed, but - on beta2 kernel, VMWare Fusion 2.0 doesnt work - pc just hangs when you start the virtual machine. when i boot in older kernel, it doesn`t happen.

What is the kernel named ? If it's named anything other than mach_kernel, backup your current kernel then rename voodoo to mach and see if it still happens.

This is a known issue, if the kernel isn't named "mach_kernel" vmware crashes because instead of checking it just assumes that /mach_kernel is the running kernel.

I have the kernel working, but when I update from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 I get a kernel panic with this message:

Code:

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00433EC9:" Unable to find driver for this platform: "\ACPI\".n\@/Kernel/xnu-1228.7.58/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1405

I'm using Kernel 9.5.0 beta2c and the System.kext from R0GUE a few pages ago. The system is from the leo4All v3 image, running on an nForce 4 system. To add the new kexts and so on I used the same shell commands like for other extensions:

Code:

sudo -s

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions && chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/

diskutil repairpermissions /

Booting with

-v -f -F

doesn't help?

I think I've seen that same error, it was just BS if I remember correctly. Does it panic before making it to single user mode?

booting with -v -F still crashes, -v -f works till BSD Root is mounted, the the booting process stops. It also crashes before entering single user mode. What does the -f boot flag do?

For updating to 10.5.5 I used the Combo Update patched which Zephyroth's external AMD patcher, not ASU. This deletes automatically some files from the package, like mach.kernel, System.kext and so on. BTW: I never got an actual mach_kernel.ctfsys file, it's still from 9.3.0 kernel. Is there a newer version out there?

Do I need some other newer files, like AppleSMBIOS.kext and AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext from Chun-Nan? It's listed in the 9.5 kernel docs, I found somewhere a compiled version, but don't know if it's a real working version because the system doesn't show any changes.

It's a bit frustrating the last time, since Leo4All v3 no good images, I can't use Quicktime 7.5.5 because it's too slow and the X1600 graphics drivers are still from 10.5.2. And I have the feeling that ATI is left behind, only nVidia is getting support. Is there a way to insert an EFI string for the X1600 or something like this?

I also cannot update to 10.5.5 casue I get that same error. I've tried everything I found on the net but couldn't make it.

nfoav8or · #29 10-28-2008, 02:05 PM

I was getting those errors as well when I tried updating via the combo updates. Now I only use the single updates (I've saved them since 10.5.2 came out and I've only used ASU to create them).

If anyone wants the packages, PM me.

eMatoS · #30 10-28-2008, 02:59 PM

I´ve also tried one of your packages (saw some links here, right?) but with the same result. I´ve installed 10.5.4 so I just use the last update. Any idea?
