:D Thank You, Thank You!

 

Got this unruly beast of a HP Pentium 4 (see signature) going pretty damn good.

Used Munky's method and 3dman's boot-132 iso for retail dvd install. Installed Chameleon, then substituted the 132 BOOT for the Chameleon boot. All my necessary kexts (including the system.kext found in this post and Chun-Nan's AppleSMBIOSEFI), are located in /Extra/Extensions, and the mach_kernel.voodoo in the /Extra directory. Only the AppleAC97Audio.kext was added to the /System/Library/Extensions directory. Added the voodoo kernel to my com.apple.boot.plist and all is well.

 

Finally "About This Mac" doesn't crash, and the System Profiler is reporting properly. iCal works too!

 

Looking forward to the final release; agin thanks to the whole XNU team for all the hard work and the extensive and thoughtful documentation.

Hi,

I am running kernel voodoo rc1 without any problems with leopard retail disk on my AMD 4400 X2 and Asus M3A78-EM SB700 board. I am using a usb stick to boot leopard now.

 

The only problem I seem to be facing is that sleep and screensaver is not working. The kexts Iam using is smbios enabler, dsmos & intel pm disabler and my sata kexts.

Please Help

Try booting in legacy mode (enter -legacy at the darwin prompt). That fixed the sleeping issue on my PC.

Do you have QE/CI enabled?

Thanks

 

Will try out and let you know. QE/CI is Enabled. Sleep was working on this kernel on my iDeneb 10.5.5 installation. Sleep not working with the retail installation only.

That is exactly the problem I have now. Sleep/Wake worked fine on my 10.5.2 (Leo4All) system in 64bit mode, but not on the retail installation (fully updated 10.5.5).

The 2 issues have been resolved. Kernel is compiled, code is final. Check ChangeLog for final list.

 

Currently preparing the docs, making the installer package and writing the source and binary licenses. It's taking time as only one person is working on it. It will be uploaded some time today.

I think so, how can I check it?

Hey, just download it from this post if you're unsure. LINK.

This issue was mentioned in the voodoo kernel RC documentation, BTW.

 

EDIT: you can check the version you have by starting the system profiler app, selecting "Extensions" from the list on the left and finally System from the right side. It should read:

System:

 Version:	9.5.0
 Last Modified:	04.12.08 03:29
 Get Info String:	System Resource Pseudoextension, Apple Computer Inc, 9.5.0
 Location:	/System/Library/Extensions/System.kext
 kext Version:	9.5.0
 Load Address:	0x0
 Valid:	Yes
 Authentic:	Yes
 Dependencies:	Satisfied
 Integrity:	Kext has no receipt

Hi,

 

I am using usb boot-132 method with the following kexts - smbiosenabler, dsmos & intelpmdisabler + my sata kexts.

 

I am only being able to use sleep if I eject my usb boot 132 flashdrive and then use sleep. After this it works fine.

 

If i dont eject it and try to use sleep then my pc goes into sleep mode for a second and starts again and shows a message telling that a device you removed could not be properly put away.

 

Also my screensaver only works if i log out and then log in again, otherwise it doen not.

I have tried using a different systemkext, smbios, acpi, and apci kexts, but nothing helps.

 

Please help.
