As many of u was waiting for this, let me introduce a new friend to your HDD on its way to vanilla.
I call it AnVAL. Big thanks to Andy and the VoodooTeam for the hard work. Your support is welcome: Testing: Every Feedback is welcome. Don't forget your bdmesg. Donating: It would help get an amd test platform, for the next support level: AMD-Aware. https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_SM.gif Update: 01-21-2011 Attachment 1495 Code:

Enjoy, and keep tuned for next good news. Greetz |
Thanks for this update, but i still can't use my 5750 with the new atidrivers, have to use those from the early macmini update.
Code:
Config: [hd(0,2)/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist] 430 bytes. |
Hello....but this loader can make works ati mobility with QE/CI?? If yes when could i see the compatibility to have Quartz and Core on ATI Mobility 4650?? Thank you for the answer
|
If I can ever get OS X running on this machine, I will use this bootloader and Andy's GTX 460 repackage, to get (hopefully) QE/CI and such.
I will report how it goes once I get past the streams of "Still waiting for root device" PS. Awesome job guys :D |
Updated to 5.0.8.
|
Updated to 5.0.9
Happy new year everybody :) |

Updated
5.1.1 is now available (on first post)

Does this have anything to do with the amd fix? I must add, even with the previous version i am experiencing glitches if i don't limit my quadcore with cpus=3, i have ordered a LaCie Firewire 400 PCI Card which will hopefully issues I'm having with my built in fw. http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8558 |
Can you get an bdmesg ? It'd be helpful for seeing what's wrong if you also post your capb & smbios.plist
|
Uhm, what do you mean by capb? it's not in /us/bin and i can't "locate" it either
Smbios http://pastebin.com/EuTJpzmF Bdmesg http://pastebin.com/0ULEmNuA I also got [MSR] detected invalid rdmsr(00000017) at 0x6ec81978 when I boot my system, i get that with both versions though, but I'm wondering if this is relevant to the issues I'm experiencing? |
I see,
your cpu is an amd phenom. Nice to find guyz like you ;) I say this because I need some beta-testers for the next release (amd aware partly / phenom aware fully(probably):)) So if interested, I can give you a link for testing. btw, capb: com.apple.boot.plist; sorry, my fault |
Quote:
oh and here is my boot.plist Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> |
I must confess,
I have no idea about the sound issue. we'll see if it got fixed with the version I pm'ed you. If you have any questions/requests, I'd be glad to help |
Thanks for the links!
I'm unable to boot your kernels, with this and with other boot loaders: I get "addr=0x42746375, Size=0x8272ae0, File=free, Line=0" Chameleonrc4 said something about a bad mach-o magic number. However, I did test this out with the latest nawcom kernel: I do experience the audio glitches with this version of anval too, but it's not as bad as it was with the last one:) However as a DAW user it wont cut it for low latency audio recording and sequencing, I'm still puzzled why I'm having these issues though. The load in logic is insanely high, same issues i have when i use cpus=4 : Code:
1/13/11 10:15:42 PM kernel IOAudioStream[0x8f9b300]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (2d,221)->(2e,c3b).Removing voodoPowerMini.kext didn't do anything as well. Here is the bdmesg: http://pastebin.com/d0yYwz0r As for the settings in my bios: Cpu clock ratio 3000mhz Cpu Northbridge Freq. 2000mhz Cpu frequency 200mhz HT link freq 2000 Memoryclock 4x 800 Most of this is set to auto, I've tried a fixed the clock ratio before but didn't make any difference. Just out of curiosity? i see p-states in the bdmesg now, does this mean we get some sort of power management? And is there a way i can turn it off too check if thats the culprit? I guess my first priority would be to get those kernels working though as the fsb fix might be causing me trouble as well. |
am sorry about sound.
regarding the kernel I just realize the hassle, as other testers never complained about. The boot-loader is also acting strangely Code:
P-State 2: Frequency: 400, Multiplier: 2, vid: 32Thank you for testing. It doesn't seem to be mature enough for a new release. |

I guess getting cool and quiet working would be rather complex? Always nice to test new things, I'd love to test out new versions in the future:) |

I'll keep you informed ;) |

updated to 5.1.3
|
if u downloaded 5.1.3 before this post, please replaced with the new one "5.1.3 fixed"
|
hum I tried your 5.1.3 fixed but it doesn't boot for me, its just stuck at a black screen showing something like "/", I guess I'm the only one experiencing this?
|
no boot-loader's gui ?

ok! as of my friend Azi, this seems to happen because of the kernel_patcher (in case an already patched one is in use).
Am going to remediate to this asap by defaulting kernel_patcher to disabled (as of Azi's suggestion). Sorry! see ya later with an updated code. |
Sounds good, I'm just wondering if there could be a option to chose between multiple boot files in the boot loader itself.
And since this fix seems to be something that is going away from new kernels, wouldn't it make sense that we could hold a hotkey when the bootloader is loading to disable the kernel_patcher? |
never thought about the hotkey thingy. still, doable. but for now, am adding a key for it (boot.plist) and it is going to be disabled by default.
btw, why would u want an boot pre-selector. And most importantly how :p |
hum well, it sounds silly i guess, but every time i try a bootloader that fails to boot anything I would have to boot either another drive with a working bootloader or a boot cd to fix it:)
How to do it hum.. well a menu system like grub would be nice, since it defaults to the boot stored on the root of the hd we could use a hotkey to select the boot loader in the mbr or where we would get the choice between multiple "boots". Errrr.. i have no idea how to do this myself, it was just a idea i had since this isn't the first time i encounter a bootloader that doesn't work like it should on my amd system. |
usb stick is a plausible answer for this I'd say ;)
|
Yeah i guess thats a good idea:)
|
Updated to 5.1.4
Try it and gimme feedback ;) |
Same here as before...

Same with me; I get stuck at "/" so I'm still using the 5.1.2 version.
I don't know if this is something anyone can help with, but I'm also having trouble forcing my FSB to 200 or anything, period. The bootloader is detecting/correcting it to 214 and I'm using ForceFSB=200 and FixFSB=No with busratio=15. I think this is making my audio crackle pretty badly since I heard an overclocked bus speed can do that, am I on the right track or no? In my bios I can't go below 200 so no help there either. If it matters I'm still using the 10.6.5 legacy kernel as well since the 10.6.6 makes my system act weird. CPU is slightly overlocked from 2.8 to 3Ghz just by using the multiplier. Even at stock speed my bus speed is detected at 214. Funny thing is starting with the 10.6.4 legacy kernel it's been detected at the current speed where it used to be at 189 or so and my audio was fine. Anyways, here's some info: My kernel log: Code:
64 bit mode enabledCode:
Config: [hd(0,2)/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist] 771 bytes. |
With the latest version, my AMD PC just keeps rebooting each time AnVAL should load, so just before the volume selection screen.
Andy tossed me version 5.0.4 and that works fine. I really want to use the latest so I can get all my AMD cores initialised, instead of just using cpus=1. Or am I ancient and there's actually a fix for that? |

alpha test
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
First of all, I 'd like to thank u all for having taken time to test my releases, even if it is not giving the results we' d like to see (yet!). I count on your friendliness to help me by testing things further. So here is the next one: Attachment 1497 |
Nothing changed here. :(
|
Ok, add
Code:
<key>ForceFSB</key>If not, please do try 5.1.2 and tell me if it worked for u. |
FSB=200 or FSB=200000000 ?
|
Use a value like 200
|
Ok, here is the results:
alpha1 = same as before 5.1.2 = worked but kernel panic... http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/5...95303du.th.jpg |
well,
kernel panics are most probable (at boot time). Try to boot again. If still kp'ing, u can try booting with -f flag. |
I tried 3 times a normal boot, 3 times boot with -f and 2 times boot with -v -f. All ended up with the same AppleACPIPlatform KP.
|
what options did u use (boot flags, com.apple.boot.plist...)?
|
http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/1...27at804.th.png
Update: Ok, I removed the -pci0 flag, but nothing changed. |
can u tell me which version did work for you ?
btw, don't u need to add those flags to boot: arch=i386 -force64 -v and probably this also cpus= |
