10.7.4 AMD Kernel

[felipeunix]

Hello!

new kernel + amd_insn_patcher = all problems solved for me

Thank you R:A:W:X86




I'm using VoodooPower, you too?
--> Here are switching stages very well, but the turbo core I do not think it works right?

--> Is there any way to switch the fancy name that appears on the processor? only to not get the same aesthetic as "unknown." it is possible to change this?

---> The kext that is with the patch, ("IOHIDFamily_nointervalcheck.kext.zip") is always necessary to use, or only in some particular case?

Again: No working 64-Bit Kernel.
In OS X no 64-Bit Kernel - but SSSE3 instruction set capable CPU (Lion) - is needed for running 64-Bit applications.

I had to remove some old routines from the Kernel patch that had been causing problems during boot. Missing these may cause tsc sync problems, while stepping with that kext - those routines are way old and may no longer be needed in latest VoodoPower provided by AnV - I am not sure though... use with care.

You could use

<key>SMcputype</key>
 <string>1281</string>

Macintosh used CPU names only of course, i.e. 1281 will report an Quad-Core Xeon...

That kext is unrelated to the amd_insn_patcher.
It fixes some check that causes boot hang at No interval found for . Using 8000000 - otherwise not needed.

One issue remains... font rendering is wrong in some apps.

Can you describe with more details, what the problem is?

this happens only to third-party apps, as i can see... all native apps look as they should.

ps not all third-party apps, opera e.g. looks good.

Be sure to patch dyld & libsystem_kernel.dylib only - do not touch any other files in /usr/lib with amd_insn_patcher

hello,

I went further in my tests, everything works perfectly in 32 bit, I no longer applicable QuickTime bug (video capture) works as well as everything else, I installed my HD 4850 1GB (HDMI / VGA / DVI) I only have DVI, it is already well 1280x1024x32 @ 75 hz Halleluya!

I encounter the problem of the network, regardless of the network card used, can not establish the connection (dlink 528 tx / rtl 8139 on the motherboard)

With kernel Dimitrk, but it works fine with your last kernel 11.4, impossible to make them work.

Thanks, i forgot to unpatch libSystem.B.dylib... now unpatched and the problem has gone.

Just to compare staff performance with the latest kernel.

Share your friends!

//Update

With a fresh 10.7.4 install and only the two dyld´s patched manually the new kernel runs quite perfect! Yesterday I tested the kernel for about 2 hours without any issues. Copying, authorization, Appstore etc. pp. works fine!!

Thanks alot R:A:W:X86
