This is very useful, thanks Andy. I personally used 'GIGE' option from MacPro for my intel box ethernet.

Great that you're here now Andy. We needed a good developer again.

Could you help me with a problem? I'm using on my main system Leo4All V3 (10.5.3) with modbin 9.3.0 kernel and on my test system I'm experimenting with the XxX 10.5.6 Final 2 image and your kernal. The system works very fine, but the temperature is in idle use about 6-7°C higher than in 10.5.3. I tried various things, no change. VoodooPower.kext crashes the system. Have you an idea what could help? Both systems are on the same machine, AMD Opteron 185 Dual-Core overclocked to 2x2.81 GHz.

BTW, why are AppleHWSensor.kext and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext blacklisted in the new kernels?

The new kernels have blacklisting options (which can be disabled) to prevent certain systems from crashing on some kexts...
AMD is never compatible with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext...
Blacklisting can be disabled though...
To know how to do this read my kernel options at:

You could try the newer VoodooPower made by hnak and improved by me...

NOTE: it is the black download link at the bottom of the text...
Also: Which version of my kernel? my latest? (V1.4) if it is any older version I really recommend updating to solve some issues with previous versions...
Let me know if this helps you out...

Hm, this wasn't really a success... Here's a description what I did. I could check the CPU teperature only in the BIOS after a reboot .

0 - 28°C/82°F was the cpu temperature while first switching on
1 - 34°C/93°F after 5 minutes normal working with 10.5.3
2 - 40°C/104°F after 5 minutes normal working with 10.5.6
3 - cooldown to 35°C/95°F after 5 minutes 10.5.3 idle
4 - 43°C/109°F after the 9.6.0 kernel installation - 4 minutes with heavy cpu load
5 - 42°C/107°F after 5 minutes 10.5.6 idle
6 - 44°C/111°F after VoodooPower installation - again 4 minutes heavy cpu load
7 - back to 42°C/107°F after 5 minutes 10.5.6 idle
8 - cooldown to 37°C/98°F after 5 minutes 10.5.3 idle.

So 10.5.6 is in average 6°C/42°F hotter than 10.5.3. Why is this so? I had temperatures of 49°C/120°F with heavy loads in 10.5.6, and this will get more in summer. Ok, it's far below the cpu's critical temperature of about 65°C/149°F, but it would still be interesting why 10.5.6 gets hotter on the same hardware.

Andy: Are your installer packages reparing every time the full permissions? I had heavy loads of installdb, mds, diskutil and similar tools, partially 80-90%. That was the reason why the installations took about 4 minutes.

What is the difference of your patched PS/2 driver? Sometimes the normal one failed on 10.5.6 and after installing the Voodoo PS/2 driver the combinations F12 to eject the DVD drive and Crtl+F12 to get the shutdown menu aren't working anymore.

Maybe I should add that I'm using an Opteron and not an Athlon 64 cpu. The Athlons have Cool'n'Quiet, the Opterons OPM - Optimized Power Management. It's basically the same, but maybe it's a bit different. I presume the AMD Opteron is very rare the OSx86 community because it's a server and not a consmer cpu like the Athlon or the Phenom.
