Voodoo XNU Kernel 9.4.0 Beta 1

[pαuℓzurrr.]

This was first named StageXNU



Download, copy to your Leopard partition's root directory, then reboot. At the bootloader prompt, type voodoo_beta1 -v to boot into the kernel (with verbose boot messages).

Kernel Features (those with asterisk* need further testing):

Supports sleep/resume as well as SpeedStep on most systems (use in conjunction with the SpeedStep kext)
Massively improved SSE3 Emulation layer, up to 3 times faster and fully multithread-capable (thanks Turbo)
Real-time clock fix for SSE2 users (no system slowdown/stutter when speedstep is on, supports less than 1 GHz cpu speeds)
*Raw ethernet packet support, useful for MAC spoofing and other kinds of network diagnostics (patch by Peter Bartoli)
*More secure: Execute-Disable (XD/NX) is turned on by default for supported systems
HPET enabled on supported systems, cleaner boot-up code
Legacy Vmware support by using busratio= bootflag.

Edit: Tested it just here, and i'm having a instant reboot. So be sure to not install it as default before testing.


Edit2: There is a new build version, this one does work on my system, but i'm getting some audio lag. Trial and error on you're system, DON'T install as default kernel before testing!

Sounds promising.

It doesn't work for me either, I get the reboot after the darwin prompt too.

Does not work. restart after 1-2 seconds of booting.

Same here ...

works great for me, the system seems faster now.

Try adding busratio=X as bootflag for the AMD systems (X is your CPU multiplier)
