dawiinci Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I installed SL some computers with AMD and it works but I still experienced some issues. Can someone help me out what has to be done on an AMD so that I can be sure to have everything working? What i already did: Bootloader Chameleon 2 RC4 legacy_kernel_10.4.pkg (should also patch CPUID?) Extra/Extensions: OpenHaltRestart.kext, AppleViaATA.kext, FakeSMC.kext … more? Installation Log Then I have heard of dyld patching. What is dyld? When, why and how? I don’t find information about it. CPUID patching should be done by legacy_kernel_10.4.pkg and should even be working on the fly in 10.5. But if so, why Spotlight and Safari (QT Plugin) crashes. Is this related to dyld, to CPUID or to something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 After installing the 10.6.5 update, my quicktime was broke and so was iphoto. I read in a post somewhere to patch the cpuid in quicktime. I figured I would try it, it couldn't hurt anymore and it did work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawiinci Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Thanks for the input. Yes, actually that’s what I did before, but I didn’t want to patch it manually on this installation because it should be done by the package installer. It’s just easier that way so I don’t have to care after every major update. iPhoto and iTunes work, so it should have patched properly - maybe just partially. But this could also be because I ran the 10.4 package on 10.6.5. That’s where the confusion begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I actually used Marvin's AMD utility. I'm still in the learning stage of a lot of stuff, but starting to figure out what does what and how and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawiinci Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I actually used Marvin's AMD utility. I'm still in the learning stage of a lot of stuff, but starting to figure out what does what and how and why. I tried this utility but it didn’t work because it produced errors. I had to specify the files to patch. This worked but was not very "easy to use“. I really hope that 10.5 brings us the promise on-the-fly-CPUID-patching.
