AnV XNU Kernel V1.4

[Andy Vandijck]

Version 1.2 works fine for me, with every dyld I've tested (yours and vanilla). I'll be waiting for that version...

Thanks for all your efforts.

OK work for me thus...

It is really too bad since it is way more responsive...

I have also noticed it tends to vary from user to user...

Guess it will be making non-optimized dyld built-in to the core.

Intel users who experience problems can allways use vanilla dyld...

I deleted all dyld caches (seems to be some .db files) before i reboot the V1.3 version.

Perhaps there are only some conflikts (like installing new .kext, old .mkext ?) ?

 

Two Apps crashed with V1.3 , but after second App start it runs without app crash!!

 

Also some system caches maybe the reason and not the V1.3 .pkg itself ?

Would it be possible to include an clean.sh in the .pkg which cleans all needed caches ?

 

 

My only problem was sleep, but that maybe because ov pcefi V9 - chameleon V11 has not that problem.

I think mitch_de has point..

..i got these crashes with XBench, always after installing kernels.

Crashes 2 or 3 times at first launches and then, no more crashes. Happened to me 2 times.

Don't know if it has something to do with the matter..?

Andy.. finally got some results at loading HPET at start up.

I forgot to try load the old HPET with DSDT.. it loads and doesn't break Ethernet. I was conviced that the problem with network was caused by patching DSDT with -newHPET but, it's not! It's the new HPET kext that breaks it.

I still can't load it with "useoldhpet=1", though.

[Naunaud]

I would like to help you but then I need info on this error/bug.

Also I would then like to know what kind of system you have (CPU, etc...) plus the type of system in case of an AMD (retail/patched).

And when exactly did it forever loop something/what did it exactly run in an endless loop?

 

Cannot provide you any log unfortunately, but here's some infos:

It's a laptop: Pentium M 1.7Ghz and 1Go DDR, installed on an USB drive

I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 (XxX version made by BlackCH)

The problem was after install, the computer booted up fine until the blue screen before entering the session and it looped there, with the circle running every 30 secondes, then a very fast message from console (I was in verbose) never had the chance to read it... (just saw something like "run loop")

Couldn't even boot in safe mode (actually as I needed the lappy, I quickly reinstalled from scratch)

Hmmm that is pretty similar to my own laptop (Celeron M, the same amount + type of RAM).

Did any older version of my kernel work fine + which version of my core.

Soon I'll post a rebuilt version...

Did you try with vanilla dyld + my kernel?

It seems the new dylinker gives problems for some...

I'll continue working on the issues though...

[Andy Vandijck]

I deleted all dyld caches (seems to be some .db files) before i reboot the V1.3 version.

Perhaps there are only some conflikts (like installing new .kext, old .mkext ?) ?

 

Two Apps crashed with V1.3 , but after second App start it runs without app crash!!

 

Also some system caches maybe the reason and not the V1.3 .pkg itself ?

Would it be possible to include an clean.sh in the .pkg which cleans all needed caches ?

Very interesting...

If this would solve every ones problems it would be great...

Now only figuring out where those caches are kept (NOTE: mkext file is deleted after kernel install...).

How about rebuilding using update_dyld_shared_cache binary?

That should auto rebuild these caches, right?

Maybe I should include in the installer script a method for deleting + updating dyld cache...

That way we would be sure it thoroughly rebuilds this...

Got it.. fassl's patcher applies HPET patch by default, but not with -newHPET option. At least that's what i got from his instructions.

Lately i've been patching DSDT mainly with ACPI Patcher (great tool, by the way) and manualy. Usualy i don't patch HPET and RTC. I'm using DSDT for Graphics, injecting Audio and some readings in Sys Profiler.

 

 

Ok.. installed System.kext and AppleHPET.kext.. used useoldhpet=1 and the kext doesn't load by it self. But, now i don't get the error i was getting when loading it manually.

I did reinstalled my system.. was a bit messed up of all the testing.

 

Will give it a rest for now. AFAIK, HPET it's not required by any SO.

Starting to get the feeling this is one of those things that "has to be there", like EFI partition.. it's there but Apple doesn't use it. Don't know if Mac's use HPET?

As i read (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer) XP also contains a driver for HPET but it's not functional. I do have it listed as a device under Windows XP and i can disable/enable it.. it's enabled by default. Also shows on Everest report as sys device, PnP device, Windows device and in ACPI. In fact, Everest shows a HPET table under ACPI, apart from DSDT table...

I have Pentium D 925 and i can't find any reference of HPET on it Googlin' (or any other CPU) and i read that HPET is part of the chipset (http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/watercooler-catchall/topic/52108/), not CPU!?

As for OS X all i know is, i can load the kext.. if it's doing something or used by something, i don't know ..just trying to know my machine better.. it's hard to be noob

 

Thanks for all.

I have also done some reading on this...

It is very interesting the way HPET is built up.

It is apparently meant as a replacement for the 8254 PIT, 8259 PIC, RTC + a 32/64bit timer.

It is controlled by BIOS (ACPI...).

It is comprised of 3 main parts.

I think it would be possible to patch this up to the old timers as well + construction of an HPET table would also be possible for older machines by mapping...

I have also included the specs for those who are interested in knowing more about these...

Block diagrams are included in all... (Hell we could even duplicate it in a logic simulator...).

Hi,

I installed it on Ideneb 10.5.6, updated from 9.4.0 StageXNU kernel, it works great but I have these error messages, not sure what the mean, I would like to fix the "macmodel" error at the end too, any ideas?:

hmm... check seatbelt.kext to confirm it is the right version.

Remove /System/Library/Extensions.mkext to clear extensions cache.

Boot with -f

To fix that Mac model.

Open /Library/Prefences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Under boot arguments set:

macmodel=MacPro2,1.

Reboot...

Nicer if you can just drop/take out the ""macmodel" boot argument not found, Mac model set as "MacBookPro5,1"

 

So it will be cleaner when it boot up.

Yeah, even it would not harm the system, if its only one of the last problems.

Those caches are really huge, so maybe really be an problem if some of the dyld code changed.

Thanks Andy, I will try it tonight, other than that it seems to be working really nice.

 

Thanks.

Soon I'll post a rebuilt version...

Did you try with vanilla dyld + my kernel?

I'll continue working on the issues though...

 

I'll try your new rebuild when you'll put it online

[Azimutz]

Ok.. i found most of the answers i was looking for.

-Remembered to run "TSC stability" test, from Voodoo's beta Test Plan, on "old" HPET and got the "old" 1 sec difference. No difference with the kext unloaded.

-The "new" HPET breaks my network.

Given this, i only find reasons to not use HPET. Until someone gives one good reason to use it, will leave it alone. Plus, Voodoo team already had droped this.

 



So Andy, as "kind of" a conclusion i have two suggestions:

-Make us a "real" port of the Voodoo kernel, i mean, without your mods and keep your version, of course. That would be really helping the community and at the same time, do things your own way.

 

-If not in the mood, at least can you remove the "macmodel" thing!? It's the only thing that really bugs me. We can set it with your SMBIOS, Chameleonsm and on the future Chameleon.

It overrides Chameleonsm so, will it override the future Chameleon?

I tested "MacPro2,1" with Chameleonsm (using Voodoo kernel) and it works fine.. still fools GeekBench.

 

I don't have what it takes to do it my self and i still have that error when trying to compile via voodoobuild.sh.

 

As for your work in general, polemics apart, you did a nice job at porting to 9.6.0!

Works fine in my system, installing only the kernel or with the rest of the files.

The installer needs some work, though the last one works fine. I think most of the problems people are having is because of installing problems!? I found i don't have problems if i extract the files and install them with e.g. OSx86Tools but, i saw that many people are installing with Pacifist.. so, i installed the kernel,dyld and system.kext with Pacifist and got a real mess!! Kp at normal boot and even my rescue DVD (INSTAHackintosh made) wouldn't boot the system (hang). Had to boot the DVD, repair permissions on the system and then managed to boot the system with the DVD (took forever).. installed everything with OSx86Tools and it was fixed.

A suggestion.. try to build the installer with old PackageMaker 2.1.. maybe it helps.

[Andy Vandijck]

Yeah, even it would not harm the system, if its only one of the last problems.

Those caches are really huge, so maybe really be an problem if some of the dyld code changed.

It is possible since then the symbols are present at different locations in the binary.

Even just recompile with different compiler ops would change this in the binary...

Next release I'll make sure to do this...

 

Ok.. i found most of the answers i was looking for.

-Remembered to run "TSC stability" test, from Voodoo's beta Test Plan, on "old" HPET and got the "old" 1 sec difference. No difference with the kext unloaded.

-The "new" HPET breaks my network.

Given this, i only find reasons to not use HPET. Until someone gives one good reason to use it, will leave it alone. Plus, Voodoo team already had droped this.

 



So Andy, as "kind of" a conclusion i have two suggestions:

-Make us a "real" port of the Voodoo kernel, i mean, without your mods and keep your version, of course. That would be really helping the community and at the same time, do things your own way.

 

-If not in the mood, at least can you remove the "macmodel" thing!? It's the only thing that really bugs me. We can set it with your SMBIOS, Chameleonsm and on the future Chameleon.

It overrides Chameleonsm so, will it override the future Chameleon?

Very first release of my 10.5.6 kernel was a base Voodoo port.

You can find it somewhere on the "Voodoo kernel is now released" part in the forum...

It did have Mac model override though...

And yes, if Chameleon 2 comes out, it will override the model as the kernel controls the end part of this... (plan on using their bootloader rather than mine when it comes out as it will be MUCH better than mine...).

As for manual install... if you do it proper it shouldn't be problem.

Also did a manual install on a friends AMD (he had messed up his System.kext, Libkern.kext was missing, had to revert to older one and fix the rest up manually after boot...).

Old packagemaker... are you kidding me? this is Leopard so it isn't any issue, besides... you can use the new one too to create old packages... (Tiger compliant, doesn't use flat packages...).

Yap.. i have all of them As you mention, it has Mac model override.

Well, old PackageMaker or new one, they are both a big ! I started using old PackageMaker because of INSTAHackintosh.. packages made with new one, caused errors in the build process. So i sticked with it.. find it more simple and less buggy. That's why i mentioned it, not because of compatibility. Anyways, i have to mess with it so, i will probably get to a conclusion shortly on who performs best.

Andy, I'm getting several app crashes lately due to dyld, happen with kernel v1.2 and your latest dyld. Also tested vanilla dyld with the same results. (I've used mainmenu to rebuild prebindings but didn't help.

[mercurysquad]

The AppleHPET.kext is needed only if you tend to be one of the unlucky ones with no HPET in the CPU core, which will mean that probeHPET fails (useoldhpet=1 is only needed in case of the need of this...).

 

[...]

 

The HPET mods require the System.kext to be replaced since it will have extra symbols inside.

If you have an older Intel/AMD cpu you need this for the old AppleHPET driver to work.

Otherwise it's no really big deal...

 

ANDY! I feel like shouting at you. LOL.

 

9.6 kernel has NO hpet — everything got removed. WHY are you still shoving it back in the kernel and asking people to do all sorts of gymnastics to get going?

[PHICO]

Pacifist the 1.3pkg,and only install mach_kernel&system.kext

 

looks fine

I've done some thorough tests on Rosetta.

On my system everything works great.

On my friends AMD machine also.

Seems to be related only to certain computers...

Research continues...

[Maniac10]

Some X86 apps crashes, so in my PC it's not related to PPC apps only.

[Andy Vandijck]

Some X86 apps crashes, so in my PC it's not related to PPC apps only.

I have had such reports from some people.

It is dyld related.

You can see it can't map the symbols down in some cases...

In your case it is the dyld built-in into the core.

Haven't had time to rebuild it with regular GCC 4 yet...
