| 10.5.6 Released “My hackbook(Acer Aspire 5100, turion 64 x2 tl-56) is now up and running in 10.5.6 There was one kext which gave me kernel panic... it took a while before I realized which kext it was, but it was an old kext which I didn´t need, after I remo…” | 10.X Core | 2008-12-17 80,667 dossier reads |
| Voodoo 9.5 Release candidate is now available “Remember that updating to 10.5.5 from software update will also install a vanilla kernel overwriting any XNU kernel that you have installed, so be very careful and take steps to ensure that you can reinstall the XNU kernel after updating. Y…” | 10.X Core | 2008-12-15 38,121 dossier reads |
| What's your average boot up time “My Acer Aspire 5104Wlmi, boots up in 1 minute and 10 seconds. It has an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 processor, and is running iAtkos v4a updated to 10.5.5 by using Zephyroths AMD Software Update.

| IOKitwaitquiet() timed out waiting to write kernel symbols “Yes, I have had the same problem for a long time.

| Any working OSx86 loader for NVIDIA nForce 780a Chipsets “I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Any other help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Take a picture of the text, when you got kernel panic, and upload it here. Then perhaps somebody can help you with this problem.” | 10.X Core | 2008-12-01 17,857 dossier reads |
| OSx86 Random Issues: Mouse and Keyboard, etc. “How long do you wait on the boot? It can take over 5 minutes to boot, if something is wrong… So even if it stops on the iokit thing, you can wait on it for a few minutes and see if it goes further.” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-11-18 12,704 dossier reads |
| Most common factor in boot times “I can add that I have tested using the ioatafamily.kext without any plugins, and I still got the iokitwaitquiet error. While if I just remove the ioatafamily kext then I don´t get the iokitwaitquiet error and the boot time is about 40 secon…” | 10.X Core | 2008-12-01 10,403 dossier reads |
| Most common factor in boot times “Yeah... well, my machine(Acer Aspire 5104wlmi) doesn´t really have any options in the bios... I guess there might be something I could do with patching the dsdt, but I´m not sure how...” | 10.X Core | 2008-11-27 10,403 dossier reads |
| Most common factor in boot times “its iokitwait timeout or whateva its called that always causes the biggest hang. The interesting thing is that the install image im building boots in seconds. With no iokitwait timeout. Also I dont know if this has any bearing but both syst…” | 10.X Core | 2008-11-23 10,403 dossier reads |
