Code:

/sbin/mount -uw /
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce*
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
reboot

Now you'll need to fix your graphics (EFI or injector kexts)

i tried this but it doesnīt work.

no, not one of them but i have dont steal mac os x.kext. is that a problem?

bevor or after updating? when after, can you say me how. i canīt start leopard. so i canīt use osx86tools, kexthelper or whatever.

can i copie the kext via transmac?

I've been using this kernal for about a week now and idk if its just my internet but all of the sudden after I installed this it seems like my internet is going slower?

Also I just wanted to make sure but with this update it just fixes problems with applications right? like AMD users still can't use via apple updates?

axhi 12-05-2008 06:20 AM

apple updates is good now man.

The new kernel works cpuids while its being a kernel. its awesome and feel free to install via software update. Lawless did a 10.5.5 update via software update w/ the kernel and it was all good

If you've already tried updating, use the Install DVD's Terminal app to copy the kexts from a flash drive Volume to your Extensions folder then repair permissions and reboot using the "-f" boot flag.

EDIT: also, you only need to install one of those kexts... I prefer the AppleDecrypt.kext.
The voodoo kernel does not have a decrypter built-in so this takes care of that.

thanks a lot. :)

now itīs working. i love this board.

Voodoo Kernel has now been released.

nfoav8or 12-07-2008 04:08 AM

Thanks MS. I love the new surprise features... no more bad CPUPM, the symlink being created on install, and the editing of the com.apple.Boot.plist file. Nice little touches! keep up the good work.

gipo 12-07-2008 11:03 AM

Well, for me this final release is a backstep...
I returned to RC that is great for me (and my Pc).

I installed the kernel and kexts with pkg inside the dmg.
At the restart hanged for a long time about 3 min... (36 secs with RC release) then was default at 32bit (i know i can change it,but all was perfectly working for me at 64bit) and then i had a KernelPanic (the first i could see from all voodoo's releases).
Restart, all ok, then another KP with Safari (the other one was in system pref. panel).
So, restart and hanging forever searching for an IOKIT... DEAD.
Restart in windows, restored RC Kernel, changed apple.Boot.plist to default with TransMac and all was great again.
I'll wait next release... thanks anyway. :rolleyes:

nfoav8or 12-07-2008 05:52 PM

I think this release was a great step forward. if you have problems with it then you should install it manually. I have had no problems with this kernel (yeah 32bit at first but thats an easy fix in the .plist file). I still have the CPUPMDisabler kext even though I know I don't need it (it states in verbose mode that it is found as a bad kext and not loaded). I'm also now using it all via Boot-132 so there are a lot of duplicates by using the System.kext file. I don't really need it though so I'll probably just bypass it.

Gipo - are the kernel panics occurring during the startup time or after you are running Leopard for a while?

gipo 12-07-2008 06:02 PM

Don't misunderstand me... i said "it's a backstep for me..." intended as for my own Pc, i know that this is a great step forward for all of us... anyway i'll try again and again and again...
Today it's a busy work's day...

I had KP after some time Leo was running... i opened sys pref and after some click, freezed
Second time i was tryng again sys pref, then opened safari and KP with text in transparence of background...

nfoav8or 12-07-2008 06:14 PM

I understood what you said :) I was just stating that if it doesn't work for you by installing via the package installer, then you should try to install it manually and make the changes necessary. no harm no foul for going back to RC1 though. that was a great release as well. probably the biggest jump forward for the community since zeph created ASU.

can you give a printout of kextstat for us? I'm just curious to see what kexts are being used. Also, Console printouts that include the kernel panic messages would be helpful.

Seeing as how you've gone to RC1 though I don't think its going to help now.

did you post a bug report to the xnu-dev site?

gipo 12-07-2008 07:03 PM

Tomorrow i'll reinstall final release and if there will be KP i'll make snapshots.
Thanks...
Great releases... ASU was a milestone, VoodooKernel as well is a great great job.
It's my opinion.. but is it possible in 64bit my wks is faster than in 32?

it all depends on what kind of applications you are running. If an application allows for 64bit processes to be run then the application will be faster. The majority of applications in OS X run in 32bit anyway because thats what they were designed for... no matter if you have a 64bit or a 32bit CPU. I've run Geekbench and Xbench (with and without the force64 flag) and I've noticed no difference between the different states using these apps... Remember to only compare Geekbench 32bit vs Geekbench 64bit and Xbench the same... not Geekbench vs Xbench.

I`m glad to see this kernel - it works perfectly on my Laptop. And it has resolved my biggest problem ever - Core bug and heating up after installation of iTunes. That`s great, big big big thanks, i love you guys ;)

Anyway - i`ve noticed 2 maybe 3 crashes - my 10.5.4 system just shut itself down. Working and then just black screen and laptop is off. I`m updating to 10.5.5 now, hope that`s the reason.

axhi 12-11-2008 05:55 AM

quick question, anyone try booting w/ force64 and not able to even load up?

i have this problem. i try using some 64 and it just sits there and when i look at my verbose mode, the last thing it says is firewire error, which happens EVERY time i boot up.

any help. thanks

nfoav8or 12-11-2008 10:03 AM

nope... running fine on 64 for days now... haven't had the need to restart or had any faults... kernel is running great via munky-modified boot-132.

hi, last time, when i replased system.kext i had a kernel panic on boot(nothing helped -x -v -f . no) the last string was Mac os installed: not yet set or something like this.(manual kernel launch without system.kext worked, but trouble with USB) i had to reinstall my system. it was with RC1
is there 100% (or close) safe way to replace system.kext back if something goes wrong without reinstall? please explain. (i dont have a disk to back up completly, and anyway, last time i tried backup - it didn't work)


I have AMD x2 4000+
GUID partition
Leopard 10.5.5 ideneb 1.3 installed with amd patch, nforce patch, and ati video patch...

ps your kernel is really stable. no crashes. i could use it without system.kext but USB problem...
i included file generated by system information collection
