Thats right folks. Its about time that most of guys waited for a SSE2 Kernel for both AMD and Intel. well this is it , qoopz and the great team behind have done most of the work to get the ball rolling , that is to get SSE2 support for Snow Leopard working and as well as AMD support. Not to mention that this kernel supports 64-bit for AMD processors and Intel processors with AMD64 and Intel’s EM64T. It makes it possible to run 64-bit applications. Plus this kernel also supports Intel i5 processors However keep in mind that this kernel will not run in pure 64-bit kernelspace. Doesn’t make sense to you ?. I’ll explain in a jiffy – but first credit goes to qoopz for coming up with the kernel !
So what the hell are you trying to say – At first you said 64-bit but now you are saying its not…Please do explain
It means that the kernel will work in 32-bit. You don’t get pure 64-bit mode , as in your hardware drivers would be in 32-bit. However programs would take advantage of 64-bit mode and run natively in 64-bit if its capable of doing so. However be warned that 64-bit support is bit flaky due to the fact that these older processors lack SSSE3. For AMD systems , you’ll notice that some programs will crash with 64-bit. As for Intel , you’ll notice that QuickTime X will fail to play H.264 movies with 64-bit turned on. These are known issues. 64-bit support is disabled by default due to these reasons. To enable 64-bit , simply boot with “-force64″ (without quotes) to test out 64-bit functionalitly. AMD users with SSE2 and AMD64 should not attempt to run programs in 64-bit as its way to slow and it can cause lots of hiccups (hangs , kernel panic and such).
Features of the Kernel :- * Bulit-in kernel blacklister – automatically blacklists bad kexts from loading. Therefore you don’t need to use a disabler to disable it manually
* bigger dmesg – Which translates to a larger log file so that you can troubleshoot easily
* uuid patching/fix – Eliminates the need of UUID kext or specifying manually
* fsb detection – Do I’ve to say more on this
* cpu cache detection – Again , I don’t have to explain on this
* reboot fix – Eliminates the need of OpenHaltRestart and fixes shutdown/reboot issue
* sse3emu -SSE3 emulator for SSE2 processors . Bear in mind that most of the applications in Snow Leopard run fine with this emulator. However there are some reports of Safari and certain applications that may crash or behave weirdly. It will not be enabled if you have SSE3
For AMD users , it doesn’t include on the fly CPUID patching – which means that you’ll have to patch your CPUIDs manually by using a third party tool. You could read more about this in my Snow Leopard guide and in other AMD for Snow leopard installation guide.
Original Link (Rapidshare)Mirror Link #1 (uploadpla.net)Mirror Link #2 (crimsy)Mirror Link #3 (MediaFire)Installation - To install simply rename your old mach_kernel as mach_backup and rename this as mach_kernel . If you’re planning to install Snow Leopard. Do follow my installation guide as I’ve updated it to reflect SSE2 changes or you may follow other guides ! Please do not forget to read the readme to know more details about this kernel
Source Code - The source code (.dff) will be given upon request only. You may contact me directly via e-mail if you want the source.
Kernel Name – Some of you may ask why the kernel is named as “anappirtrvh” . which means thx to: azi, nevermind, arya, prasys, p|astikman, inku, roisoft, tomas, radekg, Voodoo, and HiFi the slow tester. – Which is the first name of the beta testers who helped to test the kernel
I would like to take this opportuntity to thank qoopz for releasing the kernel for the SSE2 AMD/Intel user community out there. without him , we would be still in darkness and I am guessing he is the guy that would get the ball rolling.
SourceNawcom has made a update of the kernel for 10.6.2
So you can now use 10.2.0 kernel on AMD/P4

Great! Someone is trying hard for all of us! I'm using this kernel right now and it is working as fine as it should be (some issues with 64 bit "mode"/apps, no cpuid patch for now e.t.c - but all of them are known and described inside kernel's readme).
So, I'm writting this post in order to thank qoopz for his work/time/effort!
Oh,and the testers and everyone else involving too!

First of all, thanks a lot for this kernel. It works great, though there are a few things that I would like to mention. First, I have an AMD Phenom processor with 8 GB of RAM which usually requires me to use maxmem=4096 to get SL or L to boot, but with this kernel, if I enable 64-bit mode, I can use the full 8 GB of RAM. I tried this same trick with Leopard, but I don't think whatever it was that made this work has been implemented in the Leopard kernel (though I believe it should). Now, if I try to use maxmem=8192 or leave the option off and disable 64 bit mode, then it does an immediate reboot and doesn't boot at all.
Now for the bad news... just like everyone else with AMD and 64 bit mode, most apps don't work. Even Firefox doesn't. I was able to open Mail though and I didn't try many others. If Firefox can't work, then I'll just wait for another kernel before trying to use 64 bit.
One more thing, as it seems that true 64 bit mode requires SSSE3 and AMD doesn't have this, does this mean that another emulator like the SSE3 emulator is a possibility? Will AMD ever have true 64 bit mode enabled?
Thanks again.

2. a retail Snow Leopard disc
3. a USB stick with retail Snow Leopard copied onto it
I know how to burn a Boot 132 disc.

How can I best begin trying to install Snow Leopard onto my Intel SSE2 system with this kernel?

installed Snow Leopard on my USB-Stick with my Intel PC - works, copied this amd kernel, extensions and other SMBIOS.plist / com.apple.boot.plist to the Chameleon Extra folder. Now I can boot the Snow Leopard on my AMD Sockel 939 Athlon 64 3200+ with Gigabyte K8NF-9 Mainboard (nforce4). My only problem now is that i can't install Snow Leopard on the S-ATA drive of the AMD pc (on boot with DVD the install line is running through (like it does when it prepares for the installation, but not the installationprocess itself) i let it do this for ours, nothing changed. When i try to install it from within the USB-Snow Leopard system, the part where i can choose the drive on which i want to install, the whole frame is grey. Another thing is that i am not always able to format one of the partitions (or partition it) because it hangs up on "unmounting drive Snow" (for example). What is the problem? I thought about the nforceATA kext, i used a new version i found in a thread in this forum, but it did not work either.

I would like to pinpoint how it's doing this, because once I enable graphics, I no longer have sleep, shutdown or restart. If I could better understand what the kernel is doing to enable sleep, shutdown & restart then perhaps I can better pinpoint why graphics breaks it.
Thanks

First of all, thanks a lot for this kernel. It works great, though there are a few things that I would like to mention. First, I have an AMD Phenom processor with 8 GB of RAM which usually requires me to use maxmem=4096 to get SL or L to boot, but with this kernel, if I enable 64-bit mode, I can use the full 8 GB of RAM. I tried this same trick with Leopard, but I don't think whatever it was that made this work has been implemented in the Leopard kernel (though I believe it should). Now, if I try to use maxmem=8192 or leave the option off and disable 64 bit mode, then it does an immediate reboot and doesn't boot at all.
Now for the bad news... just like everyone else with AMD and 64 bit mode, most apps don't work. Even Firefox doesn't. I was able to open Mail though and I didn't try many others. If Firefox can't work, then I'll just wait for another kernel before trying to use 64 bit.
One more thing, as it seems that true 64 bit mode requires SSSE3 and AMD doesn't have this, does this mean that another emulator like the SSE3 emulator is a possibility? Will AMD ever have true 64 bit mode enabled?
Thanks again.
Who said amd dosnt have sse3? Just older ones dont
Also AMD was the first to adopt 64 bit.........

I have a very similar amd setup to you on an oem board. NForce 430 Chipset (MCP61PM-HM) HP
I would like to try this kernel. Would you be willing to share your /extra folder or dsdt?
I'm getting a lot of ehci usb errors using modbin.test7.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my other post with dsdt:
PostIm using these kexts in my folder,
AppleVIAATA.kext
Disabler.kext
fakesmc.kext
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext
IOAudioFamily.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
OpenHaltRestart.kext
OSvKernDSPLib.kext
PlatformUUID.kext
SuperNForceATA.kext
VoodooHDA.kext
If you want i could send them too you
This is my dsdt:

No sorry i'm not sure...
You could try SleepEnabler.kext and see if that works?

Works for me:
Amd Phenom II x4 945 AM3 3,0 ghz
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P (firewire works too, thank god!)
4GB Corsair PC6400C5DHX DDR2
500GB WDC SATA3 Hardrive
500473 HIS Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 (stuck in vesa but that has nothing to do with this kernel)
I built this to be my DAW computer and I've encountered a few annoyances that i suspect has to do with the lack of the CPUID patching.
*i could be using the old one, back with a edit if i did.*
Also thanks for sharing the .diff!
