Not one problem here. Works perfectly

I did install the kernel by hand -->

1) Using Terminal, rename the “mach_kernel” (9.2.0) in root (/) directory to “mach_kernel_old”.

sudo -s
cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_old
2) Move the “mach_kernel” (9.2.2) from your desktop to root (/) directory.

cp desktop/mach_kernel /mach_kernel
3) Repair permissions.

cd /
chown -R root:wheel mach_kernel
chmod -R 755 mach_kernel
4) Reboot.

system.kext was installed via kext helper

reboot and everything worked

i see that most single core processor users have problems with this kernel.. :(

yamatoHD remove extensions.mkext and reboot without any -f or whatever...
______________________
my system worked with 9.2.2 kernel and system.kext better than now with all updates installed
sure i ran marvin's utility and replaced decrypts and all patches worked.

to be honest my system was perfect with and without new kernel. just the timemachine update messed it up
now i have short mouse movement bugs again sometimes, but they go away after a minute or so...
also buggy transmission, firefox and ssx
hmm i wish i did make a backup partition before installing the updates, damn it!

despite im already saving money for an intel system i appreciate every help and hint i get for these annoying things

my relevant specs are:

msi k8n neo 4 platinum - socket 939 nforce 4 ultra - amd x2 4600 @ 2,8 GHz - 2GB CellShock DDR1 RAM @ 500 MHz
Zeph's OSX 10.5.2 rev.2 9C7010 Kernel 9.2.2 on IDE HDD

Is the new system.kext nesessary to run the new kernel properly?

I ask this because I have only updated the kernel and Leo seems to run stable so far.

Thx

Hi Snow,
found this in another forum, so seems to work without System.kext as well but there are some sidekicks probably:

>The system.kext can be added later, it is just for the bom.archiever and
>the diskimagemounter to work. Run diskutility after replacing it in System/
>Library/Extensions.

So why is it working for you? Single Prozessor? Did you apply time machinge update before? SMBIOS version?
It seems no one could find out the issue why it sometimes works and sometimes it won't.

- Im using Eddies Leo4all v2 which has the updated Time Machine integrated
- I'm also using the default SMBIOS from Leo4all v2
- Using A64 X2 4200+ here
- Diskimagemounter works, so does everything else it seems

Maybe I have done something wrong before with the system.kext and it works when I try it again but I'm too scared. I'm not the scared type but when it comes to another friggin reinstall I'm VERY CAUTIOUS.

Anyway, hope this info helps some peeps. I really suggest you try the kernel first as described by Roisoft a few posts back. I forgot all about this.

Interesting, because it worked on your release too (on my system). I updated the kernels on both your version and Zephyroth's and works like a charm.

[cite] eddie11c:[/cite]This kernel does not work on my AMD, when it boots it says 64bit enabled then halts soon after it gets the boot device.

WinLinMac: so whats your configuration then, maybe that'll help us...

Single Prozessor?
Did you apply Time Machinge Update along/before that update?
SMBIOS version?
Only kernel or System.kext also?

@peppi, never installed the Time Machine update with Zephyroth's release after following up with what other's have said. My SMBIOS is the latest from March 28. I replaced both kernel and System.kext as well. Below are my specs (and yes, it is a uniprocessor)-

Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate (x64-bit) Retail, & Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.2 Zephyroth Rev.2 (Evaluation purposes only)
Central Processing Unit - AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ Venice
Mobo - Gigabyte Technology K8NXP-SLI---Nforce 4 SLI Chipset
RAM - 3GB DDR 400, 2xCorsair XMS (2GB), 2xCrucial Ballistix (1024MB)
HD - 1 SATA2, 320GB, Western Digital, 16MB Cache
ODD - 1 NU IDE DVD-RW, 16x
Video Card - Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI Express (2) / SLI-mode

Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech LX700 Cordless Desktop
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 216BW Series (one of the best out there on the market today)

Printer: Canon MP830, works flawlessly!

Perfect Install, =)

I am very sure now that it was ToH who released this kernel. I was keeping my face locked on my screen, and before Leopard booted, I selected verbose mode, and noticed for a fraction-of-a-second three letters, ToH. Right there and then, I knew for a fact that it was ToH who released this kernel. Any objections? Feel free to comment. =)
