AnV Qoopz based Darwin 10.2.0 kernel 32/64-bit

Try this blogsite for instructions on diff and using it to create a patch then run the patch.

http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/01/how-...r-project.html

The instructions are basic to get you thinking and understand. it is problem like in math where you have to test and find the solution.

This is the simplest form to use diff in comparing text files:

happy new year

hey guys i am having problems running the kernel on 64-bit on my SL 10.6.3 . I have installed the kernel and tried to boot the kernel in 64-bit using the '-force64' flag but it does not boot into 64-bit ( i know this by looking at the 64-bit kernel and extensions line because it says "no" ) . Can you please help me by telling me the correct way to boot into 64-bit. It would be very helpful.

What specs?

[ironhide707]

The specs of the PC are,

Intel core i3 530
4Gb of RAM
Sata Hard Drive
intel DH55TC motherboard....

Another thing guys, can you guys tell me how to install and run the kernel, as i am a noob here in mac, i dont know anything about .diff and patch files.

What about AMD ?
Which Kernel is the best for AMD ?

Don't know, I used test7 at start, then Legacy-kernel 10.2.0(pradeesh smt) and now Andy's

happy new year, !!! thanks a lot, will try it asap.

Really big thanks go to Qoopz and he might want the code mods. Note: 64-bit mods are experimental... I haven't tested them yet... testers needed... Download Patch: http://rapidshare.com/files/32811787...d_xnu.diff.zip Download Kernel: http://rapidshare.com/files/32812109...nel_10.2.0.zip Have a lot of fun...

Hey Andy. Thanks for the new kernel. I just have a question though. I have an AMD Phenom and the kernel detects the busratio as double the actual busratio, resulting in a ratio cap of 30. This seems to be related to the fact that the FSB is detected as 100MHz instead of the 200MHz that it is supposed to be. The problem is that a busratio cap of 30 means that the CPU can only run at 3.0GHz. Many new Phenom processors are running at least at 3.0GHZ, so this is an issue. I can get beyond this by manually setting the FSB to 200MHz at boot with "FSB=200000000" which makes the busratio correctly identified at 15. If I then set my multiplier in the BIOS to higher than 15, it works just fine. I'm wondering if we can change the busfreq value in the diff file you posted to double it. This has been an issue in all of the Voodoo based kernels. If we can get this to work right, I believe everyone with an AMD processor higher than 3.0 GHz will thank you.

Ok, so I fixed this myself. I can only vouch for phenoms so far as I don't have any Intel machines to test on, but by multiplying the EFI detected FSB Frequency by 2, the kernel correctly identifies the FSB speed as 200MHz and even successfully passes TSC verification. The busratio is also correctly identified as the multiplier entered in the BIOS. Now I no longer need to manually set the FSB speed in my Boot.plist.

Thanx Andy, this is great news for hackintosh users in new year

I see there is a patch and a kernel in your post, do we have to patch the kernel or it is already patched?

Will try it tommorrow when I get back home.

Thanks again.
