prays is the man!

yep, true....your v3 script is the 1st one that "really" worked for me....thanks a lot !



Well why don't you use a signature ?
I'm pretty sure some are interested on which machine you have it running "so beautifully"....

wow, well thats about the coolest thing ive seen all year.

im on the amd test sse3 disk with ppf patch and i just used the script to update and dvd works for the first time in my experience. but skype doesnt work and i use it everyday as my international phone. weird.

Prasys;

Just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I appeciate you building this script. I just used it to upgrade to semthex's latest, and it was fast, secure (love the builtin backup!), and fully operational. Great job!

Working on v4

soo many ideas , sooo many extras...Let us see how it goes...

Hello there,
i just want to let u guys know that ive made some changes/improovments to the Prasys script.

I wonder that is there a way to hide the backups of mach_kernel from finder

thanks



Edit:
the solution was found

Dood, great work, it did exactly as promised and it also fixed the reboot issue I was having..

Great work!

Thanks

Simon

okay , i need to redo everything back guys. I will be working with hippex on this thing..

Which new features do you wish to integrate in next versions of the script?

Actually, have you considered writing a little cocoa application? Would be very cool

I am new,any one who tell me what's the kernel?
Is it developted by Apple ?

LOL

The kernel is the basic brain of the operating system. It is created by Apple but only for real Macs. In order to run it on a Hackintosh, it needs to be hacked and patched. For quite a while, the only patched kernel was 8.4.1 from 10.4.4. But recently, several people have managed to patch the 8.8.1 kernel from 10.4.8. And privately, the kernel from the previews of Leopard have been patched. This is good news that means we should get a nearly fully working Leopard after it gets released.

Thanks a lot to Rammjet for your so kind reply.
Thks a again.

WOW, GREAT NEWS THERE!!!

Sorry Prasys, now, what the newest version of your script?
Can I use version from your first post in this topic for continue Update Semthex'kernel?
U use beta8
Thanks for your great work!

beta8 , i will update once semthex gives us all the stable version

If you want the latest one , get it off #Kernel

Thanks for reply, Prasys
I don't know why I can't connect to CHAT ROOM any more

Even if you could, you would just get a file to compile, and a couple of very rude members swearing at you.

Bad channel indeed.

So, until now, Do we have any good news about next version of Semthex SSE3's kernel after beta8?

Do you see any?

Will this automaticly update it to the final kernel or just beta8(as it says)?

beta8 is the most recent SSE3 kernel. The "final" kernel has not been released. Only the source code was released.

Thanks Rammjet
U are the good guy who always know everything and help anybody!!!!

Im sorry for being so dumb.)
I've already installed 10.4.8 using JaS combo update on 10.4.5 install (dont know which kernel there was) and now have Darwin 8.4.1 kernel.
I read all topics but still dont understand what i need (exept new brain:) to upgrade kernel. Would somebody be so kind to explain? Thank you.

The version of 10.4.8 that works with the old 8.4.1 kernel is incomplete. The kexts that come with 10.4.8 cannot be installed because they will not run under the old kernel.

In order to run the new kernel, you need to upgrade your version of 10.4.8 and then add the new kernel. Follow the 10.4.8 link in my signature for ways to upgrade to a full 10.4.8 and then you can use this live updater to install the new kernel.

Thanks Rammjet! You wrote "In order to run the new kernel, you need to upgrade your version of 10.4.8". But i still dont get which exactly method listed on that page fits my situation. Can you explain it please? Thank you very much for your attention)

Nearly any of them that don't involve the DVD ask you to start with an early version of OSX and then upgrade it using the Apple 10.4.8 update. Then some file switching takes place and the new kernel is added. Essentially what you need to do.

The eGWan patcher might be easiest for you. The official link was taken down, but look at the signature of the person who posted the method.

The Paulicat method is another popular one.

Probably all of them would get you there with slight modifications.

I have JaS 10.4.7(AMD/Intel) update to 10.4.8 and 8.4.1 kernel. How can i update my kernel?

And i very dumb noob question; what´s kernel?....

I unfortunately also deleted my kernel using the scripts out there. Seems that the link to the file latest.zip redirects to the homepage of www.semthex.com right now. I also do not have any backup of the old kernel (lesson learned :-) nor did the script seem to have backup'd the kernel in a mach_kernel.old etc. directory.

I can access my OS X HDD with MacDrive from XP so I understand I would need to copy a compiled version of the mach_kernel to the OS X root directory and then do chown & chmod 644 in Terminal from the install disc.

But where do I get a compiled Semthex Kernel when latest.zip is offline? On Semthex site I only can find the mirror downloads which, as I do understand, are not compiled versions.

By any chance can anyone PM me the latest compiled version? Thanks.

EDIT: Well, found out that it is distributed through IRC: Visit irc.macspeak.net with your favourite IRC client and go to channel #kernel and ask for it

hy!
i've installed the newest kernel - it already worked for one time! what a great thing....

but now i have a problem: my hackintosh went in sleep modus - i havent disabled energy saver. so i had to reset the computer.

since this time, my computer always restart at startup before it come to the grey background with the apple logo. i can start with the old kernel an i alredady reinstaled the newest semthex kernel with your script, but have still the same problem....

Who can help me????

thanx

Quictkime pro 7.1.3 is playing my AVI files too fast. VLC plays the same items without any problems. so what's wrong with my Quicktime ??.
Some posts sugested that's a 8.8.1 Kernel problem, so i tried to update mine. unfortunatlly Prasys kernel update script doesn't work for me:The system hangs with the grey multiligual error message saynig " you need to restart your.....bla bla bla"
modifying FSB in the system configuration doesn't work too.

So is it really a kernel problem ??
Any idea to fix this ??

I am runing "Jas 10.4.8 + PPF "on Intel 945 platform with GMA950 and SSE3 CPU.

i have the jas 10.4.8 install from demonid, and i would like to have this kernel updater

how can i do it ?

thx in advance

i tried this script (v3) but after that my system crashed and i restarted manually.
system successfully booted but holds on "Starting Mac OS X... " and my Mac OS X never Starts
i have Mac OS X 10.4.8 SSE2 SSE3 Beta2 From Demonoid.

I need some clarification here... is this script not functioning correctly at the moment? I seem to recall reading postings elsewhere that the only way to get newer kernals at this time is through IRC. Thanks for help...

Same question here... I keep getting a kernel panic/system crash when attempting to run this update.

will this update now work with SSE2 processors? i have an intel sse2. if not, what are my options please?

SSE2 update support too ?

Hi All!
First off, a big shout-out of appreciation to all the helpful Guru's around these forums!

I wanted to know if this Kernel update script would apply to my Hackintosh setup or should I download the latest 10.4.8 DVD & start fresh?

My first install of OSX86 was the "Mac OS X 10.4.7 AMD/Intel (JaS) ISO Repack", which worked great. I then used a Delta update "JaS.10.4.8.Update.Intel.Only.pkg" (161.8 MB; no longer on Demonoid) to upgrade to 10.4.8 and have applied all [Apple] software updates since. However, my kernel remains Darwin 8.4.1 and have not interfered with the system since (no patches, hacks, custom Kext's, etc).

Would this patch apply to me since I never used the official Apple 10.4.8, only JaS' previously available 10.4.7 > 10.4.8 delta? Page 1 of this thread mentions the JaS Combo Update to 10.4.8 not working with this latest kernel, but not specifically the short-lived Delta update I used....

Thanks Prasys for the LiveUpdate Script. I just ran it, it degraded the kernel to Nov 27 build instead of upgrading to Jan 9 build

When i try this script, it causes a panic/system crash each time.
i have a core2duo E6400 on a asrock conroe945G-DVI
my current kernel is:
gijs-schoutens-computer:~ Gijs$ uname -a
Darwin gijs-schoutens-computer.local 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Sat Dec 9 22:18:27 AZOT 2006; semthex:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

i have never been able to use this script of yours...
can you please help? i would love to use the sleep function i've read about i other threads...

thanks

Ok, i found a trick somewhere on the forum that i should boot with " -legacy" to force 32bit mode. This works! so now i've updated through this script... but as Subzero1266 mentioned, it downgraded tot nov 27!! any ideas?

greetz

Has this been rectified or fixed lately? I'm willing to give it a try if it brings it to Jan 9.


Tom

so... what happened to the script? i used it and fix clock, fsb speed and a few things.. really good! and does the work alone the script oonly ask your admin pass great job!!!

a question.. i need to run it again to be "more" updated? or what,? where can i see the next updates availables? cheers!

Guardian

hi, all
