Made for those like me who have problems with HPET.
boot with boot arguments:
- HPET fully fixed for all...
- faster for all...
useoldhpet=1
to fix HPET along with this old downloadable HPET kext.
enjoy...  
NOTE: You need the old AppleHPET.kext in case of CPUs like my Intel Celeron M 420...
Download + change if needed...
EDIT1: Improved Intel (bundled) + AMD (built-in) dynamic linker.
Added installer options for AppleIntelClock driver + installing old HPET driver (needed only if probeHPET failed is shown on boot...)
New build procedure based on voodoobuild (can build all the latest sources).
Build optimizations enable even faster system too...
EDIT2: Fixed dynamic linkers.
Implemented Hnak RTC fix (thanks Hnak).
Added options for decrypter + mac model override, these can be disabled with:
-nobuiltindecrypter
-nomacmodeloverride
Changed the use old HPET option to -useoldhpet
Fixed various issues...

NEW: I've added the build tools + files I use to build the kernel these days.
Install package first and put BSDCommon.make under /Developer/Makefiles/CoreOS/ReleaseControl/
Use the new voodoobuild.sh to build the kernel...
Get it from: Kernel build tools download
EDIT: Use the new build package to do the build... it'll work with sandbox environment perfectly...

may i know, what kinda kernel is this?
is it the 9.6.0 fixed for generic pc?

[XLR]

What's the difference between this and a standard Vanilla Kernel?

Any changes, improvements, anything?

sometimes modified kernel works better on generic pc
such in my case, vanilla 9.6.0 cant reboot/ shut down properly & for time being, im using voodoo 9.5.0

This is a port of "the Voodoo XNU kernel sources for XNU 9.6.0."
For more info check Voodoo v1 thread from page 13, post #248, on.

It's Included in the package.  If you use Pacifist, you can see it there.  If you install the package, it installs the seatbelt.kext and system.kext (at least for me).

Andy,

I have to admit, this is good work   I never had my D610 boot up so quick with this kernel.  Anyways,  this is how I installed it.

1.  Installed using your package
2.  Installed AppleHpet.kext  using OSXtools
3.  Edited com.apple.bootlist and added useoldhpet=1

Upon reboot, used the -f -v
It booted up fine (albeit slow), then had a kernel panic upon deleting some files.

4.  rebooted and opened up OSX tools and checked everything under System Maintenance and let it do it's thing.
5.  Reboot and everything seems to be working fine plus reboot is record time for my D610.  Checked the System.kext and Seatbelt.kext on my Extensions folder and they are original from 10.5.6.  Hibernate still works great.  Everything seems to be working.

Did I install it right?  Do I need to use your SMBIOS for better compatibility?

Also, wish I could get this Chess game running.  Must be the SSE3 thing, anyway around that?

can i install only the kernel?

now, with vanilla my problem only reboot, shut down working properly

[Maniac10]

Yes you can gengstapo, I've only used the kernel and it works fine.

how do i open .sitx files? can you upload them in zip or rar format?

[stellarola]

Hey Andy,

I haven't tested it but anything being added to the community is welcome as always.

P.S. - Just a bit of a critique, do you think you can add a little more information to your releases? You're very cryptic.

G'day

Same here! I've tried to boot in -v -s and then edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist to boot the original Kernel but that didn't help. Got an error saying it couldn't find something with /Users/Andy... ...cpp. In the end I did a reinstall of the complete system.

First you should try repairing kexts permissions and rebuild mkext. For that boot with -f -s -v
If that doesn't work, you may need to restore system.kext, that was my problem with his previous release.
And if your sytem can't boot in single user mode you'll have to use the installer dvd and run terminal from it. I can pm you stock 10.5.6 system.kext if you don't have a copy.

If you have an Vanialla System (Intel Core CPU) i would NOT!!! use the .pkg install.
I would use pacifist and ONLY install the kernel.
