Thx
What did you already do?
Is qe/ci already working?
My graphicscard also does not work when i installed the kexts which are needed togheter.
Maybe you have to delete the kexts and add first the atisupport, ati5000controller and atiframebuffer kexts.
If you installed those kexts i would inject the right framebuffer with an bootloader like AnVAL or Kabyls bootloader.
After you´ve done this install the other 3 ATIRadeonX3000.kexts to enable qe/ci......

maybe this is more easily viewed...damn...Grab is crashing too...sorry.... 100% cpu usage is what i'm referring to...

That will take time i think.
At least till the release........

RobertX 03-09-2011 09:31 PM
damn......

chitchit 03-09-2011 09:36 PM
It's not easy.

RobertX 03-11-2011 12:28 AM
bump........

chitchit 03-11-2011 12:31 AM
What are you bumping for? Work is being done. Chill.

I changed the kernel back to V3 and made an installer too for it.
The ToH emulator (SSE3) won't work on SL in any case so I'll look into fixing the Voodoo one.
I also added a UPX that can pack stuff like firefox (size check and assertion removed from upx packer.cpp).
Don't pack Apple encrypted binaries though (they'll crash on launch if they are not decrypted).
The installer also has a custom install option to install a patched Finder (only do this on legacy 32-bit only systems, for 64-bit use the stock Finder and make sure you boot with -force64) which works with the custom dyld.
I may also integrate the upx packer methods into the kernel (so it patches on AMD the binaries) but it'll need some work.
Well, at least we have a solution for Firefox and so ;)
Work continues...
BTW: The kernel installs into / as legacy_kernel...

Imkantus 03-13-2011 03:07 PM
Hey Andy,

Good to hear that your work on the Kernel continues. :)

Any idea about a solution for custom dyld to work with >4GB RAM, yet?

And a little off-topic-question:
Any thought on binpatching xnu-1699.21.15 / 11A390 Kernel? Lion on MacBook rulez & I would love running Lion nativley on my Desktop system. ;)
I already tried to hex compare 10A432 Kernel patched my modbin with i386 slimed Vanilla Kernel of the same build & then tried to alter the i386 Lion Kernel in the same way but no success, yet. :( Probably due to a lack of understanding most of the changed bit's...

What all of that should I use on a 32 bit legacy system? Just the new finder? Or do I use the upx that packs stuff to?

RobertX 03-13-2011 04:15 PM
trying it now...will post back after install...thx andy

On a 32-bit only AMD system you should use a custom install with the installer and check the option for the patched CoreServices.
Also use the UPX for doing stuff but download the one I'm posting right now...
It has also LZMA support (for --ultra-brute) and has stuff built this way that it will work like a regular standard UPX.
If you encounter files you can't pack you can use the following command to pack it anyway:
upx --force <binary>
The new one can also pack Skype (which the previous one can't do...)

I'm afraid I can't do much on that area untill the kernel sources come out (final release).
Then it will also be probably a big rewrite but I'll do it then... patience untill summer thus ;)

How about on a 32 bit intel though?

A 32-bit Intel doesn't require the patched CoreServices (it doesn't need patching on Intel ;))

I wasn't sure if all that was amd or if the 32 bit finder was all 32 bit cpu's but alright. thanks.

wastez 03-14-2011 09:53 AM
Does anybody run it with arch=x86_64?

I tried it but i can´t get the 32 bit software working.

RobertX 03-14-2011 05:38 PM
32bit only Intel P4 here..it works? no kp... my date and time is displaying
tuesday, march 14 -11:-17 AM(real date: mon march 14 12:44 PM)...help!!
date and time prefpane won't open for me at all...

akimoa 03-14-2011 06:59 PM
i had date and time issues took me long to find it and at the end it was because the file etc/localtime was corupted somehow i replaced it from another install and it worked for me
i uploaded you myn incase u wanna try http://cl.ly/1Q27092b1G1m0J3s3m37
u never know :)

RobertX 03-14-2011 07:41 PM
on my macinhack the file localtime is an alias pointing to the city closest to me ...i replaced the original (in this case toronto) from my 10.5.8 install...but still no go...
thx anyway(date and time prefpane still won't load)

chitchit 03-14-2011 11:16 PM
That is because the sse3emu is not working. That is what Andy is working to patch. Right now it will technically boot, but its basically impossible to do anything. I have color distortion, safari freezing, alot of random freezing, always slow... so on.

RobertX 03-15-2011 12:42 AM
as far as just working...snow leo mostly behaves....disabled spotlight temp....was a cpu hog...and had to quit quicklookhelper manually ...that got my cpu usage back to normal...until the next kernel fix anyway...damn installers are annoying tho...been using pacifist some for generic installs that fail...but systemupdate downloads and installs stuff fine...every day it gets a little bit better...i have an apple keyboard... if i use the volume keys osx will either log me off or ...reboot...lol

chitchit 03-15-2011 01:01 AM
Yeah... I'll stick with 10.5.8 until SL is pretty close to perfect. Glitchy OS's are a problem for me.

Imkantus 03-15-2011 01:23 AM
Time for CPU / hardware upgrade?! ;-D

chitchit 03-15-2011 01:25 AM
I wish. But my cpu can't be upgraded, and as I am in high school, I can't very well afford a whole new laptop.

this is my system... (Pentium4 Northwood)

wastez 03-18-2011 12:23 PM
On my system this kernel can only run with a patched dyld.
With the kernel integrated almost no software works.

Here is the source diff for UPX 3.07 for forcing packing of applications.

Download (or below):

RaphaTevfik 03-22-2011 06:44 AM
I really don't know if i did something wrong or somethings right!
All I know is that now I can use programs without crash!
I installed the UPX after updating the Kernel and everything is fine.
Thank You so much for that!!!!

Snerler 03-23-2011 01:26 AM
I am having an issue that I think is related to the kernel. Pretty much whenever I'm on youtube in Chrome or Safari, the video stutters so bad that its unwatchable. Everything else runs well enough.

I'm Using an AMD X2 4200+ cpu.


Also, what is the purpose of "packing." What are UPX and dyld? Where can I find an explanation for some one the comments in this thread

using this kernel...updated to 10.6.7...wish i had waited...was a graphics issue...repaired!

chitchit 03-28-2011 01:29 AM
Hey andy, any progress on fixing the voodoo sse3emu? Is it looking doable?

INFO: 10.7.0 kernel by Nawcom out on his blog ...

RobertX 03-29-2011 06:57 AM
tryin it out...will post results;)

RobertX 03-29-2011 07:31 AM
ok...got it ...needs that custom lib thingy...and had to keep 10.6 system.kext or lost sound ...audio and internet...lol... god bless backups...lol

wastez 03-29-2011 11:03 AM
Who else had installed the new update with the new kernel?
Does anybody have problems with it?

Yes, I have random graphic problem in 10.6.7 with nawcom 10.7.0 kernel.

...waiting for andy's fabulous SSE3emu fix...sticking to the 10.6 kernel for now..

chitchit 03-29-2011 08:45 PM
WAIT. Do you have a 10.6 kernel working with sse3emu?

RobertX 03-30-2011 12:12 AM
@bkribbs...u know how mine's workin'...date&time...installer issues...graphics working...but touchy...

chitchit 03-30-2011 01:34 AM
Oh. Does it freeze up?

RobertX 03-30-2011 05:18 AM
no freezes......quicklook helper hogs the cpu if not quit manually(several times)lol...blue screen changeing resolutions...i log off and back on and screen returns(sometimes the double kp at this point) but i have updated to 10.6.7....and therein lies many of my troubles i think

kocoman 04-02-2011 07:14 AM
There was no improvements to sse3 in SL... the problem is the SSE2 only cpu is from laptop.. so no choice

I
Quote:
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%

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

When I try to install the 10.6.3 updater. its still stuck at "Examining Additional Disks"

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.

RobertX 04-11-2011 02:39 PM
kernel gone bad?
 
getting double kernel panic now after login...just as the desktop and finder load...10.6 or 10.7 kernel panic...machine check....back to 10.5.8 until sse3 emu can be fixed..... oh well...i did get a message thru to andy....but he's very busy....
edit:...got it back up and running...seems to be a graphics issue...lol...whatever!
