Thireus Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Introduction: The Voodoo XNU kernel is a fork of the XNU kernel shipped with Apple® Darwin operating system – the open-source foundation of Mac OS X. Voodoo kernel aims to expand the range of processors supported by XNU, and provide technologies to enable Darwin and associated applications to run on a variety of x86 platform combinations. Technologies included in the Voodoo kernel range from emulation of SSE3 instructions, to on-the-fly patching of loadable binaries. The kernel also fixes issues with multi-processor timing synchronization, SpeedStep™ support and sleep/resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Quijote Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Tested, working perfectly here. I have installed it since yesterday, and I hadn't have any problem with it. Previously I used qoopz 9.7 kernel and I needed this one to have a complete 10.5.8 upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INsERT Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I used qoopz 9.7.0 kernel from iATKOS v7 and Parallels Desktop & VMWare causing Kernel Panic. I have to downgrade my kernel back to 9.5.0 to make them work. Is this new release address this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Quijote Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I had no problems with qoopz 9.7.0 and qoopz 9.8.0 with parallels. Are you using this kernel as mach_kernel or is it named differently (I've heard about some problems with vmware when the kernel has a different name than mach_kernel).

moskivirit Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 try this script, it downloads and builds xnu and all dependencies. if for some rare reason, libc fails to build, temporarily mv /usr/lib/dtrace while building it. voodoobuild_0.3.980d.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napster Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Tried on AMD, it works. There is no crash or bug so far. Keep going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Gordon Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Tried on AMD too. Everything went perfect until I tried to run the Dropbox application. I was prompted to enter the admin password and voila - kernel panic Here's the screenshot: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/442960/DSC00622.JPG BTW I tried to install Qoopz 9.8.0, AnV 9.7.0 and even Voodoo 9.5.0 and it's still absolutely the same I use iDeneb v1.6. Can be something done about that? Or can it be caused by some other extension or fix installed during the installation of iDeneb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubble_gum Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 man i have the same thing. it started after 10.5.6 update and switching to voodoo kernel, so it seems that problem in it. i don't know, how to fix it to avoid the kp, so used to delete dropbox, though it's rather useful app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boba899 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No need to delete Dropbox. Go in to /Applications/Dropbox/Contents/Resources/ and delete the file FinderLoadCM. If you can't do this on startup because Dropbox starts up before you can delete the file, you will have to delete it in single user mode (-s boot flag).

BladeRunner Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Exactly. Parallels kernel panics when the kernel is not named mach_kernel. I run the voodoo2 kernels and both Paralels and VMware-Fusion. The method I use to get around this issue is a symlink. It also has the advantage of protecting you if an apple update replaces mach_kernel. For example, assuming your kernel is named mach_kernel.voodoo2 You can do the following: sudo -s password cd / rm mach_kernel ln -s mach_kernel.voodoo2 mach_kernel On my system it looks like this: root ~ # ls -al /mach_kernel* lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root admin 23 Aug 23 17:11 /mach_kernel -> mach_kernel.voodoo2 -rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel 10822172 Jul 15 19:57 /mach_kernel.ctfsys -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root admin 5075716 Aug 23 17:10 /mach_kernel.voodoo2 Then, edit your com.apple.Boot.plist and change the kernel name to mach_kernel.voodoo2 That should help Parallels or VMware-Fusion run and if apple updates the kernel the worst you should need is to rebuild the symlink.

nokem Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 same here boots up but it's stuck at apple logo . it doesn't log in. i had to put back vanilla. i have had problem going from 9.5 and higher. Parrallels crashes. And kp at startup, but i have always be able to get in the desktop by using cpus=1, than you can reinstall or whatever you have to fixed. hopefully this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this new release address this issue? i had the same problem, and i found out why. iATKOS boots with /custom for the kernel, i fixed it for myself by following the symlink post made in this thread after i copied the kernel "custom" and renamed it mach_kernel.voodoo2 and then there's no need to edit booting or anything, and it ran right off the bat! hope that helps better with the iATKOS install!

Sevilio Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks Maya 77! Im on a AMD with Nvdia MP65 Chipset - OSX 10.5.8. Almost everything is working, except sleep (never worked) and USB 2.0 (it was working with voodoo kernel 9.5.0) But im very satisfied with this kernel, it made my system to work realy fast and stable! I'm still testing it, and i can tell you there's no more "kernel_Task" consuming my CPU. Quick question...I am using xnu 9.6.0 and OS X 10.5.7I am upgrading the OS X to 10.5.8 and installing the xnu 9.8.0 on an Intel P4 w/HT. What System.kext and Seatbelt.kext do I need? I was seaching for those files and i found one on this topic http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=148566 this solved my problem mounting DMG files, but i'm still searching for a System.kext to make my USB to work properly. If someone find a solution let us all to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snokarver Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Newbie question. I've googled, searched the forum, but can't figure it out. How does one upgrade the kernel from 9.7.0 to 9.8.0 v2? The documentation PDF reads "The best way to install the Voodoo kernel is to run the included installer package." - but there isn't an installer package in the download. There are manual instructions, but a host of problems noted with them so I'd much rather use the other way which fixes all of those. Thanks.
