Dxn Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Using Beta2 (not Beta2b) Test 1 - Passed (Both power-button sleep and apple-menu sleep) Test 2 - Passed Test 3 - Passed thus far Test 4 - FANTASTIC!!! Everything is MUCH more stable (was able to play WoW for a couple hours without a kp or div-0 error, as opposed to getting one after about 20-30 minutes before) Test 5 - Passed Test 6 - N/A Test 7 - Not Tested This is by FAR the most stable kernel. I have not had a single kernel panic since I installed it, which is amazing. I've also had absolutely no mouse drift like I used to get after about 20-30 minutes. I will leave my system on overnight to see if it becomes unstable after a longer burn-in, and will report any issues. I tried to upload my system info, but I get the "Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type of file" error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeRunner Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 OK. One last quickfix (Beta 2c) is uploaded before I go off to sleep. Strange that beta2 (original) worked for BladeRunner's P4.... Everyone else, please delete your mkext, boot with -f and then recreate the mkext (probably done automatically after you restart 2nd time). Who! Major confusion factor here. I *never* said beta2 worked for me - any version. I tried what you said - build the kext cache under beta2. To do that I need to boot under beta1, erase the kext cache at /Volumes/EFI/System/Booter/Extensions.mkext and copy an Extensions directory to System/Booter. Then reboot under beta2. Under beta2 I need to reverse the previous steps - build the System/Booter/Extensions.mkext and erase the Extensions directory. I did all that. NO JOY. Beta2 would not boot using the kext cache built under beta2 with or without the -f flag. Beta2 says there is a bad checksum and it can't unpack the cache. On the other hand, beta1 loves it just fine.

FavleX Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Tried it on a Msi Wind. There are a few lines that flash up on the screen then the machine reboots immediately. Later I will try with the bootflag suggested. Thanks for the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cavallo Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 impossible to run never loaded. Why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackMyTosh Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Even Beta 2b? Beta 1 ran without any problems, beta 2 doesn't run at all. Just after the darwin prompt it reboots the system, which goes on and on and on. So now I'm back on the Beta 1 kernel.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_muad_dib Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 congratz pals, on a first sight it seems the tsc drift is resolved on amd, with cool'n'quiet enabled also. gotta test it more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B612 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi. This beta2c seems to run faster than the previous beta1. I am using /Volumes/EFI/System/Booter/Extensions.mkext, like BladeRunner, and I have never had a problem with that (it loads completely with no issues at all). The only problem I find so far (and it is BIG for me) is that it doesn't wake up from sleep. in fact, it seems it wants to wake up, but my monitor doesn't turn on at all. Actually, I realize this doesn't happen anymore even when I use beta1 kernel, but it used to work perfect, some days ago. The only difference between now and the time in which it worked is that I have installed a PCI card with 5 additional USB ports. Also, I am using my trackpad and Keyboard as USB and not PS2, as they used to be. Is it possible this problem derives from that? Is it possible to solve this problem?

nekton Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Read back in the thread for the solution (use beta_2c and remove the Extension.mkext file using rm -f and then reboot with -f switch). Beta 1 ran without any problems, beta 2 doesn't run at all. Just after the darwin prompt it reboots the system, which goes on and on and on. So now I'm back on the Beta 1 kernel..

Murx Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Runs great, except sleep. When waking up, the screen stays blank. AMD Opteron 185 (Athlon 64 X2 5000+) on a nForce4 mobo. I will run the full test procedure later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurysquad Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 All those who are having problems with sleep/resume - make sure you are using latest stock AppleACPIPlatform.kext from 10.5.5. Most sleep/resume issues are related to the kexts, not kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sleep/resume issues are related to the kexts, not kernel. My appleACPIPlatform.kext is the original from 10.5.5, but still resume doesn't work (it goes to sleep but it doesn't wake up). EDIT: the only non-vanilla kexts that I am using are: AppleDecrypt AppleIntelPIIXATA IntelCPUPMDisabler SMBIOSEnabler Hope you can help me.

gorg Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 9.5 beta 2a and 2b have been the only xnu kernels causing an instant restart in my system and I've used most of them . 2c works though .

HackMyTosh Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Okay, so whatever changes occurred from Beta 2 to Beta2c obviously fixed my instant reboot problem. All I did was install it like a regular kernel and reboot, no command line work or anything. Its running quite fine now. Don't know how or why but its all good.
