10.6.6 legacy kernel for INTEL/AMD 32+64bit ready to download
 

Nawcom has implemented support for newest cpu's.
I updated the latest patch to include a custom dyld.
The dyld has also been rebased for security purposes (patch for rebase included in patched/ld...) and has been pre-patched for sysenter purposes (eliminates need for kernel patching custom dyld).
Make sure you pack /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs with upx in order to make it work with the custom dyld.
NOTE: This dyld is beta because we don't have libunwind from Apple.
Some apps may need to be patched with upx in order to let them work.
You can always boot with std_dyld=Yes to skip the patched dyld and use Apple one instead.

Latest working kernel with custom dyld:
http://rapidshare.com/files/44441607...-AnV-0.4.1.zip

Installer package including patched Finder for legacy systems (do custom install, only do it on 32-bit only CPU's, not 64-bit capable ones...):
http://rapidshare.com/files/44451503...acy_Kernel.zip

EDIT: I added a UPX that allows packing of Firefox and stuff.
NOTE: Don't pack Apple encrypted binaries as they'll crash on launch, they need decryption in order to be packeable.
Too bad I don't have the decryption algo's from Marvin's AMD Utility or I could adapt them to decrypt 32+64bit...
If you have Finder issues (32-bit legacy systems only) do a custom install with the installer package and check installing custom coreservices (unchecked by default).
I reposted the latest working kernel (as the ToH SSE3 emulator really won't work with SL).

EDIT 2: I reworked UPX some more.
It now works like a regular upx unless you pack with the following command:
upx --force <binary>
It can now also pack Skype (and probably others which still couldn't be done).
Don't pack Apple encrypted binaries though... they'll still crash... decrypt them before packing...
I've also added the LZMA code (for --ultra-brute).
The upx_nosizecheck_forced.zip contains an UPXed version of UPX.
If this should give you trouble download upx_nocheck_forced_notupxed.zip (just posted, should work for all...)

Andy please can you explain how to use all those tools inside patches folder?

A Howtos guide would be welcome.

-pack /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs with upx
-patch the file dyld


http://osx86.wikidot.com/en:how-to-s

hum i downloaded the sources and compiled upx and packed /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs mail didn't work but i packed the binary and then it works.
I don't know the benefits of this system yet or how much of the system that needs patching before this will work, logic did not respond well to this method for instance, neither did finder.
Anyhow thanks for the beta, it seems the custom dyld has improved a lot:)

For those who want to test it out, you can try this guide, its pretty easy to get working and i think it's present in macports as well
http://blog.loudhush.ro/2010/12/comp...les-using.html

Okay here is my testing experience:

I took an empty harddrive and did a fresh install of Snow Leopard + applied the 10.6.6 Combo Updater - installed PC_EFI 10.6, added just the Kernel + NForceATA, fakesmc, SleepEnabler, patched AppleHDA + added Device ID for my HD4650 - everything else left untouched.

I could not boot without -force64 - all Kernels since Darwin 10.5.0 have this issue for me - without it fsck just shuts down my system. Darwin 10.4.0 and earlier works - independend from the applied patches.
This issue is not related to this realease, but am I the only one?! Can this be fixed?

First issue: The Systemassistant (that App showing the nice video and guiding you through the basic system adjustments) ain't loading - just stuck on grey screen with moveable cursor - this problem is present in any Kernel Patch since this one: http://osx86.co/f36/10-3-0-qoopz-anv-kernel-rel3-t6450/
It is present independ from using Kernel dyld, Vanilla dyld or dyld with bin-patched sysenter traps.
If you are using the Kernel for inital setups like mine, this sucks badly! :-/
Deleting sound and video file of the welcome vid doesn't solve this - neither booting with out graphic drivers (including framebuffer).

After beeing done with that, I installed upx via MacPorts and used it to pack /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs

Kernel related issues:

• SystemUISever doesn't work. The menubar icons including clock and spotlight are just flickering up sometimes but are not present the most time nor usable. Packing it with upx ain't possible cause of NotCompressibleException error.
  Is this maybe related to binary decryption?
• all those kernel debug messages are nasty (all those segment fails - those messages are still appearing in dmesg after "DSMOS has arrived")
• Finder is crashing a lot
• System-Profiler is crashing
• system is beachnballing a lot, but this can be related to the first point

laudation:

• CPUID-autopatching seems to work - iTunes settings are working with untouched Carbon framework.
• 32-Bit Apps are fine within -force64 mode

Sorry for double-posting...

After putting one and one together, I think it is obvious, that binary decryption ain't working by the Kernel.

So Andy - if that bug in Kernel Patch cannot be fixed yet; do you have been able to build apb_decrypt for Snow Leopard, yet? - If so, would you mind to share? ;) Ofcourse decrypting directly isn't the way I would like it, but I guess it would make the Kernel usable, what I would appreciate, as dyld appears to be very stable this time. :)

Anyway; Thanks a lot for all your efforts till the point.

No, you are not the only one. I think everyone with more than 4GB of RAM cannot boot into 32-bit userspace without fsck crashing. If I boot with maxmem=4096, I can boot. Anything greater than that fails.

Binary decryption works (after "DSMOS has arrived" message) but I will add SystemUIServer, Finder and also VLC to the "no-patch list".
I'll post results when I'm done, this way the kernel should be able to boot an unpatched system...

Pack "System Profiler" with upx, same goes for Disk Utility and most other apps that crash (including some iLife apps).
upx is the fix ;)

Nawcom kernel is the fix xD

Thanks for pointing that out. ;)

Well OK then, I just have thought that non working decryption would have been the reason, for me having lot's of "patch_text_segment failed" errors in dmesg after "DSMOS has arrived" and the system was up as well...
Looking forward to try the next build. :)

Would you mind to answer some questions to me?
First I wonder what's the purpose of libunwind - I know it is required for building dyld and that this hasn't been the case on Leopard. (That's what even zero-coder like me can understand when looking at the src.^^)
I guess missing libunwind is the reason for having to use upx on some binary - is it?
Do you think you can port libunwind for Snow Leopard?

1. Who do you think has added all the important code, for us AMD users to what you use to call "Nawcom kernel"?!
Without the efforts of Andyvand you would still be using sort of pure legacy mode kernel / without any 64-Bit capability. :-/

2. What sentence in the first post don't you understand?! "I updated the latest patch to include a custom dyld." or "This dyld is beta"???

3. Even if you don't know the meaning of some words, it should be possible to understand that this is a) about keeping development going, and b) no final release, what usually means that testers are wanted.
If even getting that is beyond your scope of mind, you should better hold your tongue instead of posting provocative shit into technical topics. :-X

Nawcom's kernel package doesn't yet have a custom dyld built in.
It's actually the same as booting this kernel with the following boot argument:
std_dyld=Yes
...
Don't worry, development is proceeding on the dyld.
I'm going to reverse engineer the Apple libunwind procedures from Apple's dyld (i386 and x86_64 dyld part).
I'll keep you posted if I succeed ;)

Yeah, we need to pack some binaries with upx for this reason.
I'm going to reverse engineer the routines used in Apple's dyld though (32bit + 64bit Intel part).
I think this will fix the last little issues with the dyld and that it then will be the first dyld release.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to compile ucl & upx so that i can use the kernel?!
Would be really nice too know because i never compiled anything.

Thx & Greetz

I found mine on InsanelyMac, precompiled and working great... ;)

I am also working on a new dyld.
Latest attempt is replacing the used exception code from the libunwind.a code to the libgcc_eh.a code.
Currently done (as it's also used this way on iOS I only needed to change a certain #if)
I also changed some other code so it shouldn't crash on load of System Profiler, etc...
I also updated the voodoobuild script so that it uses rebase_dyld to rebase the address of the dyld (i386 and x86_64, for security purposes...) and pre-patched the dyld sysenter trap so that the kernel doesn't need to look for it each time over again... this is faster...
Work in progress thus, I'll let you guys know if it works. ;)

Would it be enough if i download an compiled upx and copy it to /usr/bin or do i need ucl too?

Greetz & Thx for your reply

Just download a compiled copy and use it like this from within Terminal:
sudo upx --best /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs

[quote name='sfx.' date='Jan 25 2011, 07:04 AM' post='1628889']
Waiting patiently :) Fingers crossed.
[/quote]
I've achieved a lot more success.
Right now every app runs stable without upx (except for /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs, pack this with upx).
If you use Vodafone Mobile Connect, pack this too...

Fixed:
- SystemUIServer crashes on Finder icons
- Disk Utility, System Profiler, etc... all work without packing
- dyld speed issues solved
- On-The-Fly patching works for all

It's stable enough to use on a SL install DVD as main patcher.

Download full package:
http://rapidshare.com/files/44441607...-AnV-0.4.1.zip

Let me know what you think of it so far... :D

For fellow developers:
When Finder should fail (for the moment after a file copy, folder copy, zip action, probably others :wacko: ) it always crashes on GetDYLDEntry.
If somebody could debug and trace this for me so I can fix this last little issue.
This was after a file copy...
Other than that it's fine, so please, lend me your eyes, devs so we can together close this chapter down. ;)

Could somebody who has a 64 bit processor (Intel / AMD)

For AMD:
boot up with arch=i386 -force64

For Intel:
boot up with arch=i386 patcher_opts=49 -amd -force64

and see if the 64bit Finder (not a decrypted one from Marvin's Utility) runs without those issues.
I am beginning to suspect that the rebasing of the dyld may have something to do with the last bug.
I also think that they are i386 dyld related (not x86_64 dyld)...
I am currently rebuilding a kernel with sysenter trap pre-patched in dyld but not rebased to see if this is the case.
I have also made a decrypt of "Finder" (32bit only though), removed the code signature and packed it with upx to test in case this doesn't work.
Working hard on a final solution... ;)
Please, somebody who can, do me a lot of fun and test it... all for the sake of progress...

Thanks for another update, I'm not a developer but i tried your kernel anyway:
Logic doesn't seem to co-operate very well with this kernel:

In 64bit mode with the 32-bit audio unit bridge:
http://pastebin.com/6wz6hDrY

32Bit mode:
http://pastebin.com/8RfQNnLf

I also got a kernel panic when i tried to open logic

About finder, i can't say i experience any trouble with it at all, i can copy compress i don't get any finder specific crashes in my Console.app either.
(i copied Finder.app from my macbookpro to make sure that my results were genuine)

Hey Andy,

I have just booted latest Kernel on the testing installation (packed pbs - everything else left untouched), booting with -force64 - same like in case of RayFlower, there are no issues within Finder. :)

Everything works well, except Firefox is crashing gonna try to pack with upx...
//Edit: No way, just crash reporter. For some reason I can launch it from the dmg, but not when beeing copied to the HDD... :mad: Removing write permission from all the apps files hasn't worked as well. Any idea?
Just started <Bing Chrome but having FF fixed would be nice anyway...

Now I all I want is having those decryption error printf lines removed (can do myself if you got better things to do^^)

Thank you sooo much for making this possible...
http://www.euroclubschools.org/useri...smiley-551.gif

I made an installer to install a custom Finder, custom pbs and legacy_kernel.
I made it so that with advanced install you can choose wether or not to install the CoreServices, the kernel or both.
If your Finder allready works as it should for you you don't need these fixed CoreServicess installed...
Kernel is by default installed as /legacy_kernel (to allow other kernels, including original)
By default it installs the CoreServices and the kernel (easy install).

andy
i have installed your kernel with this installer,
restarted and booted using arch=i386 -force 64 and finder on my system is not working, crashes... dont know, is it because earlier o have used legacy kernel from nawcom. on 32bit everything works normal.

I will give a chance to this kernel xddd, nawcom's kernel it's working fine for me but I will test your kernel to choose which one is working better.

"Nawcom kernel is the fix"It was the "sarcastic" moment of the day, I hope that no one got offended xDDD

Thanks for all!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installer music, ehhhhh, EPIC WIN

I installed from the installer your kernel and CoreServices patches, and Finder crashed instantaneously :(
I shut down the pc and I rebooted mac, and Finder crashed again and infinitely
I booted again with std_dyld=Yes and Finder crashed again.
I rebooted and booted with -v -f and now Firefox and, Finder, crashes
I'm gonna try MacDrive and get back the original CoreServices

My default bootflags are arch=i386 and -force64

LOL

You should have done a custom install.
Restore Finder binary (the one under /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/) from a combo update image.
I should have put the Finder patch as "optional" as it's designed for 32bit only systems (which have those Finder crashes).
So everybody please take care... If you have a 64bit capable CPU do a CUSTOM INSTALL and uncheck the CoreServices patch. If your CPU is 32bit only, you can install this (even need to on 32bit only AMD)
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Damn it! Since about two hours I am just like wtf?!

For the first: Finder problem is legacy mode only, works in -force64

But that doesn't matter to me currently:

System has freezed from one moment to another - after reset the most hatet scenario was back; 32-Bit Apps refused to work: "sysenter trap"....

http://www.abload.de/img/screenshot2011-01-25atulzz.png

And no: I have definataly not changend anything!

I also had the problem that dyld refused to be patched by kernel sometimes using older legacy kernel patches; see here: http://osx86.co/f36/10-6-5-legacy-ke...post51970.html
But this time just another reboot doesn't help, nor deleting Caches....

Sorry also about that follow my instructions from the previous post and boot with arch=i386 (but no -force64)
Next from a combo update for 10.6.6 restore the Finder binary in /S/L/CS/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/
This patch is only for 32bit only systems which have these crashing issues (but not for 64bit capable systems, as stated above).
Sorry about by default enabling the patch, it seems I shouldn't have done that... :-|
Next release will have patch included but not by default enabled...

EDIT: I decided to reupload the kernel installer but this time by default Finder and pbs patch disabled

Maybe UPX, but patching with UPX it's not a real solution, but the dyld it's beta and new, I will wait until I can open firefox and garageband without patching :D

I'm installing upx though MacPorts xd
--------
iUPX works when I decompress the program with UPX, LOL

For sure patching sysenter traps in libSystem.B.dylib will fix 32-Bit Apps, but this should theoretically not be necessary using this Kernel, as it should be able to patch librarys that are loaded dynamically as well (not only mach-o like the kernel patcher in "annappirtrvh v4"-patch can do)

And I can confirm that it has worked, but in my case it just stopped for an unknown reason... :(
I'll have to reinstall and see if it will happen to me again...

PS: Your screen resolution is sick man.^^ :D

Hey Andy...I just installed your latest kernel and it is definitely faster!
Previously I was using nawcom's kernel and on geekbench it was usually around 7000-8000 score...
Here you can see, using your latest kernel, the system is running smoother and faster...

I haven't done much so I can't say what is or isn't working yet, but so far so good.

Thanks man for all your hard work, really awesome stuff!

Does the installer generate and install a custom dyld too?

Thx for all your hard work.....

Firefox crashed with this kernel on Snow Leopard. (10.6.0)

Without patching lib.System.B.dylib, 32 bit apps are working, but rosetta apps don't, al least at 10.6.7, so it's necessary to patch libsystem in order to get PPC.

Asdsadasdasdasd, I have a cheap lcd monitor xddd, but I can connect my pc to my HDTV, but I'm lazy ^_^

PD: With std_dyld=Yes, PlayOnMac, Garageband '11, Firefox and all my applications are working, so this isn't a 10.6.7 issue, it's because the modded dyld xd.

I will provide more feedback :D

Divx Converter panic

done a clean install
Just have atiata.kext and fakesmc on extra folder, and new andy kernel.
working normaly, BUT when you drag and drop, delete, and so on... something everytime finder relaunches itself, strange to explain.. maybe some one got the same thing?
strange and annoying, plus some apps is still crashing,
im using 32bit mode couse its working much smoother on my old amd phenom 9600,

Andy has posted a patched Finder in this thread.

But could you or some others try in -force64 mode? I am somewhat curious if you will suffer sysenter trap patching to stop working properbly after some time like I did or not... :)

I tried this kernel too and almost everything is working. Finder works but cinebench in 32 bit mode crashes!!!

Does anybody else have this problem?

If you don't use 64bit mode (only legacy mode) you can use my installer package and do a custom install and check the installation for the patched coreservices.
NOTE: If you do this you won't be able to use 64bit mode at all (custom Finder will crash in 64bit mode) because it's designed for legacy systems (which only use 32bit apps).
The better solution is to boot with arch=i386 -force64
Choose one of these... ;)

Thanks andy for response
But i do able to use 64bit. but im not using it since 32bit is working more smoother on my system, so that happens on 32 bit system, and i havent installed that new patched finder, so thats odd,
can you figure this out? i will check if this happens on booting with arch=i386 -force64 flag..

it work for me.
thanks so much! :D

I tried the kernel a few days but my system doesn´t work really good with it.
Can anyone upload the original libsystem.b.dylib because i´ve just a patched one?

Would be really cool if you can solve the issues......

Thx for your hard work....

EDIT:
using 64bit flag, no problems, booted in 32bit, i got (like i sed) drag and drop problems , delete problems and so on, like finder relaunches itself, and i got very huge brightness level on my LCD monitor, using 64bit no problems,
but the thing is.. 32bit feels more smoother and faster on my phenom 9600 :P ech..

Same here on AMD computer. 10.6.5 worked very well. With 10.6.6 I have misc issues like:

Crashing ShoveBox when trying to paste text into it:
com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[175] ([0x0-0x1b01b].com.wonderwarp.shovebox[257]) Job appears to have crashed: Bus error

Display profile doesn't load automatically after booting.

When booting in verbose mode I see messages "the patch hasn't been applied (will try later)" or something like that.

Can't patch nvdaresman.kext with Maxxus Patcher (Cannot reach x86 Mach-O segment on file! 0 of 2 patches applied.) This is not 10.6.6 related but any ideas how to patch it?

Anyway, thanks for hard work! Up until 10.6.6 almost everything worked like a charm!

Other problems were noted - Volume slider doesn't affect sound level. Skype doesn't start.

So I reverted back to 10.6.5 kernel and problems disappeared (except that I can't patch nvdaresman.kext). Now 10.6.6 update with 10.6.5 kernel works pretty well, no issues so far.

With kernel 10.6.6 I also installed AMD Coreservices. How could I revert it back (to be able boot with -force64)? If I take certain files from my unpatched 10.6.2 system - would it help? If yes, what files should I copy?

Thank you!

Decompress with upx the CoreServices (Finder and pbs) :)
You can install upx using MacPorts

In case of Finder - No.
The Finder from thr pkg is not just compressed, it' stripped down to i386, so highly recommended, to reinstall Finder using Pacifist from 10.6.6 Update!

i also agree, i booted with the same thing, and now my Garageband, firefox & Logic works flawlessly

If you try this @ your boot screen (enter this only: std_dyld=Yes) you may not have had to go thru all that, i'm on a AMD 64, 10.6.6 OS all apps working just fine, now all u have to do is enter that into your com.apple.Boot.plist, u should be good.
