I got sick of trying to find all this stuff so I found it all and posted it all here. . .

 

to install:

unzip the kernel into root / of drive

create a symbolic link if need be in a terminal:

ln -s mach_kernel.9.5 mach_kernel

edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist to point to new kernel ie:

<string>mach_kernel.9.5</string>

copy system.kext & seatbelt.kext to /System/Library/Extensions and do permissions fix

reboot!

 

The only difference is in these zip files is that I've included the corresponding system and seatlbelt kext with ea kernel.

 

Voodoo 9.5 Kernel w/system & seatbelt kext's

MD5: 475A40AFDC4F2B46BF733AE87ED0B4D3

 

AnV XNU 9.6.0 Kernel v1.4 w/system & seatbelt kext's

MD5: BB1B05A7CE54849FD5620029543E879D

 

AnV XNU kernel based on Voodoo 9.7 Kernel w/system & seatbelt kext's

MD5: 92E8E1BC4F2849726CB6607768C7D479

 

Qoopz 9.8 v2 based on voodoo Kernel w/system & seatbelt kext's

MD5: 17E49CD0AEA2A2B716DD1FBF39D01CA3

 

AnV XNU 9.8 v1.6 Kernel w/system & seatbelt kext's

MD5: 9BFAD9D8BC4AC321898A0998B5150D43

 

personally I had the best luck with 9.5 and 9.8b (which is the AnV XNU kernel). . .

FWIW, I tried the Qoopz and AnV kernels on an iPC system that I'd upgraded to 10.5.8, but on which I'm having USB problems. Both cause kernel panics when loading the VoodooHDA audio driver, although Qoopz seems to be able to boot up sometimes (it's not consistent). I haven't tried the Voodoo 9.7 kernel yet. I've a feeling I'll be sticking with 10.5.6, which I've got on another partition on this system, at least until I can get a 10.6 installation working....

what system are you running?

what system are you running?

 

As I said, iPC. I think the problem was my audio driver, which I installed separately. I don't have the time or inclination to fully debug it, though, particularly not since I expect to be at least attempting to put 10.6 on this system before too long.

Sorry, I guess I meant what hardware are you running?

It's an eMachines T3646 with a single-core Sempron something-or-other CPU and an nVidia chipset. (It's powered down right now or I'd be more specific.)

 

I'm not looking for support on this; as I say, I don't see much point in putting a lot of effort into it this close to the time when I expect to be doing a major push to get 10.6 on the computer. I was just posting to point out to others that there may be incompatibilities with the VoodooHDA driver.

Hi,

 

The link for the stock Voodoo 9.7 kernel gives an error message from Rapidshare saying it has reached the download limit.

 

Also, I was wondering where you got this kernel from? As far as I am aware Voodoo haven't released a stock 9.7 kernel for AMD yet, I thought the only kernels available over 9.5 were third party voodoo based kernels.

 

Thanks for the collection, really useful for us AMD-ers

sorry 'bout that, I didn't realize rapidshare's sharing was limited to 10 dl's without an account.

I got the 9.7 kernel from iAtkos 10.5.7 install, but I believe it's AnV XNU kernel based on voodoo. . .

I'm still looking for AMD friendly Snow Leopard kernels as well. . .
