10.5.0 Legacy XNU Kernel

The Kernel Patch (osx 86.co/f36/legacy-kernel-10-4-0-updated-t6578/) reworked by andyvand goes into latest 10.6.5 XNU Kernel sources just fine.
Working for me without issues till the point. :

All credits are by the authors of the Kernel Patch - quoopz, andyvand, nawcom & Co !

Important: This is an experimental Build, use at your very own risk!

Synthesized Community Field Notes

6 technical responses curated from 8 original dispatches

Field Note #1 @RayFlower 2010-11-18

Working just "fine" here on my Phenom II x4 3,01, compared to the last release there reaper doesn't crash anymore, however Geekbench still does, and vmvare fusion is still broken and halflife2 still doesn't work, but i guess in most of those cases the culprit is libsystem.b.dyld.

Core audio seems to work better than it did in the previous release with my firewire interface, I have no idea why though.

Field Note #2 @opiniatre 2010-11-18

Works fine for me on a Phenom II x2 3.1. Updated from andy's 10.4.0.

Ohh I've got this KP when opening an Apple Script. Downgrading to 10.4.0

After verification had also a KP with 10.4.0 I had to recompile the executable applescript to make it not kp.

Field Note #3 @gedna 2010-11-18

everything seems to work fine (i have not patched any CPU ids) geekbench works, like previous kernel, havent noticed any differences, how about the usb problem, new kernel, no need backed-up kexts?

Field Note #4 @wastez 2010-11-18

Does this kernel work in 64 Bit Mode too?
Do i have to use the std dyld, like with the 10.4.0 kernel?
Do i´ve to use the usb kexts from 10.6.4 or is this solved?

Field Note #5 @scififan68 2010-11-18

Works great on my Pentium 4 HT, no more 10.6.4 usb kexts. @ wastez to run 64bit apps boot with -force64, this is a "legacy" kernel after all.

See first post please! I am not a dev, I have only patched & compiled the necessary source code.
There are no changes in the functionality of this build except it is made using the Darwin 10.5.0 / xnu-1504.9.17 source code Apple has released last night.

(No 64-Bit Kernel just i386 build, but with working 64-Bit using -force64 & sysenter trap patches at libSystem.B*.dylib files only.)

@wastezDo i´ve to use the usb kexts from 10.6.4 or is this solved?

Using 10.5.0 Kernel resolves this issue, maybe it does for other peoples problems who had to use older versions of other I/O device drivers too.
So yes you can use latest IOUSBFamily + IOUSBMassstorage, when using this Kernel - this was the main reason to share this with all of you.
