So does this one fix the spinning beachball on sse2 cpus?

ie:

The Disk Utility will keep freezing (and also the Checking Available disks in the installer, or stuck at 0%-x% during install) in the SL installer because of lack of sse3. It seems the sse3 emulation is missing something/loop/hangs when a certain instruction is used.

My only way to install it was from other Leopard system.. but then after boot it gives the 100% cpu, md5/quickloop worker stuck, safari crash, xcode freezes.. system not usable..

If xcode did work I could disable the spotlight stuff, forgo safari with firefox/chrome... but I need xcode

Yes i tried that but got a kernel panic, restored the 10.6.4 kexts and for some reason it works good now...

You could try these: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce...03-driver.html They work for my 9500GT and I can now play TF2!

>It's great to see developmnet for an AMD kernel. Hope to see more progress on 64bit for AMD and on the fly opcode patcher.

Keep up the good work guys ;)

About the CPU speed, I've tried my kernel and this one on a few different CPUs including an atom D410 and none of them show the CPU speed (it's just 0 MHz). It all started in 10.3.0 kernel and I can't find where it changed. My 10.2.0 kernel shows CPU speed just fine.

I have used the 10.4.0 kernel on the 10.6.2 system, thinking it would fix the sse3 emu problem (older p4). but still no changes, safari, xcode, mds, QuickLook helper, still use 100%

When I try to install the 10.6.3 updater. its still stuck at "Examining Additional Disks"
I was able to install the 10.6.4 accidentally, but the GMA900 would not work, so I could not go to the desktop.

Has anyone expect me tried the new kernel on the sse2 system? I don't think anything has changed for the sse3 emu since the 10.2.0 kernel. but yet the description says its a rewrite..

Has anyone tried it on an AMD system with sse2 only?

sse3emu fail.
 

Reporting the same thing, same symptoms on sse2 (dothan) machine:
-it seems that sse3 emu is not working since first release of legacy kernel for SnowLeo.
-distorted graphics
-safari hangs
-openGL and other sse3 software fails.
-the most annoying thing: system cannot umount disks successfully. (anyway manual umount from console works.)

I don't know if that matters - no HPET in my machine.
10.5.8 works almost fine with "avakov" kernel, but no OpenGl sse3 support anyway.
I think our older machines needs stable sse3emus, so serious revision of sse3emu code is required, there is something wrong inside.

Not sure this is related but i have a Pheonom X2 550 unlocked as a Pheonom X4 b50 and it shows my FSB as 400 when its 200. and oh yea. my videos are running at double time lol So if it is not someone please let me know.

Hey, i don't mean to nag or anything but, has there been any progress in the kernel development for amd?
It would just be great to have Snow Leopard to perform at the same level that Leopard is with the 10.5.8 kernel, specially now that the ati 5x series are supported.

Cheers!

Great work! Thanks
