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 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+ 1GB Ram NVIDIA Ge-Force 6800 GT Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev1 |
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. P |
- 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. Laters |
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.

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? ... P |
@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 Audio: AC'97 LAN: Realtek Ethernet Card 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. =)
|
I had kernel panic problem when I tried to boot without -v -f.
But after removing extensions.mkext from System/Library and Caches folder from System/Library/Extensions my system boot correctly without bootflags. Hope this helps some of you |

thats even stranger then, coz my config is quite similar, execpt the sata part. I am running Leo on IDE. Same SMBIOS, no TimeMachine Update. Are those who can not use the kernel running on IDE too? Maybe that is an issue, as even -v doesn't show up with some errormessages, the System just stops loading, so maybe its something about the HD Driver.... How did you get SATA to work? I placed AppleNForceATA.kext v1.0.3 inside the plugins folder of IOATAFamily.kext, maybe you use a different driver on that? P |
The xcode fix worked for me, thanks. System far more snappy!
|
I used the SATA driver that was included in the NVIDIA chipset (2/3/4/5) that was in the DVD before I begun the installation. Can it be that I have only one hard drive in my system, SATA? I still doubt that part.

can anyone tell me why my pc is rebooting automatically every night? is it a bug or just a cleaning procedure i have to switch off?
im not sure if it comes from kernel 9.2.2 |
Well if the system is on while you are using it or if it is inactive at nights, could be something wrong with your time configuration settings, or it can be something else that I am probably not aware off.

Well, hopefully this is not as result of kernel version 9.2.2. ;D

New Universal release Intel/AMD & New Kernel installer by Kalyway.

SWEET! Would like to try this in addition to Zephyoth's and Leo4All's. When did he come up with this?
|
Those kernels may or may not work for everyone, the reason being these were all binpatched. Apple has not released the source code yet for the new kernel or Netkas would compile a true universal version. I suggest waiting for this, as stability can be an issue with binpatched kernels. Just my 2 cents...
|
That makes sense actually. I would wait too. I'll see where my mind takes me. Thanks for your response buddy. =)

looks like the 922modbin kernel from kalyway's installer works great for me :) it boosted my xbench score from 75 to 83

That's a boost. =)
|
I beleive thats kernel i first posted at the beginning of this thread... in irc i was told "modbin" but still was unsure...Had never heard of modbin before
|
I get the best performance with the initialy posted kernel, I've tried kalyway's kernels but don't work as good as the "original".
My motherboard is an Asus A8N-SLI. (nforce4-sli) Athlon64 3000+ @2250Mhz. |

I'm having the same "self reboot" issue here too. But It's been happening on all the kernel's I've tried (9.0.0,9.1.0,9.2.0,9.2.2). Initially it was whenever I was away from the system, but recently and more recurring it's happening in the middle of whatever I'm doing. From Safari to msn, Logic to Activity monitor (and of course on it's own) Just seems to be really unstable. Bit frustrating as EVERYthing else for me is peachy! |

its looks like it contains AppleSMBIOS.kext |
I installed kernel and had major probs. Didn't back up since it was a newer install and didn't really mind.
I deleted mach_kernel, deleted System.kext, and reinstalled from Leo4All v2. My system STILL won't boot. Is there anything else I can try? or should I just format and reinstall? It hangs right after bootloader. I can run -f to reload extensions, but then it just reboots w/o an error. is it normal to say "Loading HFS File [mach_kernel]" twice in a row? same with Extensions.mkext Thank you |
after install Leo4all my system wouldnt boot either, i replaced AppleACPIPlatform.kext, and AppleNforceATA.kext,(with the ones from Zeph's) then it worked.
It is normal to see "Loading HFS File [mach_kernel]" twice in a row... also i noticed that running marvins amd utility form another working install found a few more cpuid's that needed to be patched on the fresh Leo4all install |
mrburns, did you get those kexts from the dvd? or are they available somewhere?
aim me at "a phan ta smo" if you can, thanks! |
i dont have aim, but i actuall got them from another install, i can send em to ya, gimme a minute and i will put up a link

dont forget to repair permissions ! speaking of witch, did you repair permissions the first time you tried replacing things? Code:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /"Your LEO disk"/System/Library/Extensions/"whatever.kext" |
or instead of /"Your LEO disk"/System/Library/Extensions/"whatever.kext"
you can take care of em all at once with /"Your LEO disk"/System/Library/Extensions/* |
yeah, I did repair permissions. I acually just use the kext helper included with leo4all, and then manually check the permissions thru term.. I am going to try it now with the new files.
thank you for the upload! |
Question: Is this supposedly the modbin_kernel included in Kalway's and Eddie11c's releases? I was just wondering, thanks... ;-)
|
yes
|
thanks for that confirmation. Its what I was hoping. =)

How can I check if I have installed correctly the new kernel?
|
Apple Menu ---> About This Mac ---> More Info ---> Software
|
or in terminal type: uname -a
|

Well With the kext helper and the pcwiz the update couldn't be done, even if everything seams to work correct. I have tried once again updating manual but I have kernel panic on the restart.
Any ideas? |
the kernel doesnt work for everyone- maybe your one of the unlucky ones, best thing to do at this point= forget about it and enjoy your leopard install
