Thank you for responding Maya... I am still a bit confused. I downloaded the Qoopz 9.8 kernel from the link provided on the page you sent. I unzipped the file and double clicked on the folder and there are 3 files and one PATCH folder. So I am assuming that I am to rename the mach-kernel file and drop that one in to my root folder? There are no other files other than that one that resembles anything like the actual mach_kernel.

Thank you for all your help.

Is this a bad joke?.

The archive contains:

- a readme.txt
- a copy of the Voodoo Kernel .pdf manual
- a folder named patch that contains a diff file. You can read about what that is right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff
- a file named mach_kernel.

Or are you talking about something else?

Sorry, nevermind, I messed up. (And also deleted my previous post when I thought there where no replies. It said something like "why is there a 9.5.0 kernel in the 9.8.0 zip file?")

Let me explain (for all to learn).

I tried to install Qoopz 9.8.0 using osx86tools, but after reboot uname -a still gave 9.5.0. I tried again, same happened. Tried to update mach_kernel manually, still nothing. At this point, mach_kernel and mach_kernel.new where exactly the same size as mach_kernel.backup (already overwritten by osx86tools), which made me mistakingly think the file included here was the old one.

It turned out my kernel wasn't loaded from mach_kernel but from mach_kernel.voodoo by Chameleon. Doh!

Which is actually best practice:

But it doesn't matter much if you're on 10.5.8 - unless Apple releases a 10.5.9 update..which is unlikely..

Right so.. I'm new to the whole mac thing and i have no idea how to install a new kernel. I am currently running 10.5.8 on AMD Phenom II x2 550. I have got everything working except this new kernel. I'm running 9.5.0 i think and if i don't type 'busratio=20' at boot i get a kernel panic. Also when i try and install an application i get a panic so i guess i need to update to 9.8.0. I have no idea how too though.
