Happy to report, IT WORKED!!

CPU reported as Intel Core 2 Duo (About this Mac)

That's super cool news!
What's your motherboard/cpu?

[shoarthing]

wintelmac - thank you for persevering despite my [false] report. If you don't come from New Hampshire you could.

teateam - thank you: had to rebuild caches while running in 64-bit mode using vanilla 10.6.0 kernel - then your new 102 K64 kernel worked fine. Many thank agsain & apologies for not admitting the traditional pebcak before. This is a real step forward for Atom 330 users - the extra K64 performance is very welcome indeed.



BTW - for those used to SMP stuff - have you noticed how differently kernel 10.2 treats HTT? . . I assume this is Grand Central at work; but despite a great deal of experience with SMP boxes hadn't seen this strong preference for real cores over logical ones in any OS.

[teateam]

Yes, i'm test it too. Work fine, all 4 cores.

@wintelmac
Intel Atom 330 don't have SpeedStep. Check specs.

I am using Acer Revo R3610 Linus Base model.
Atom 330, 2GB RAM (added extra 1Gb)
Nvidia ION chipset (GeForce 9400M)

Yes, i'm test it too. Work fine, all 4 cores.

You are right, I managed to get rid of NullCPUPowerManagment.kext
Now need to check CPU temperature to see if it runs cool.

Update:
After getting native AppleIntelCPUManagment working, sleep works (video+nic+sound wake without problem)!

Hmm.... maybe native IntelCPUPowerManagement will be work? I will test it on my N270 tomorow.

No, not work

[teateam]

Now it work! Without NullCPUPM and SleepEnabler and VoodooPower... but now not work SpeedStep
Now i'm try make ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin profile for my netbook...

[wrc4]

Try this

Hi teateam,

I'm eager to try this. But my ISP blocked mediafire. Could you upload the file to rapidshare.de?

[jinnggoff]

Hi Teateam..where is dowload link for that kernel?

[teateam]

I'm post link after finish testing.

[jinnggoff]

Ok...I'l be waiting patiently the new kernel

Cool. I think for native AppleIntelCPUMangagement to work require a bit of hacking DSDT. Let us know how you get on with ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.

[teateam]

Yes, i have right CPU section in DSDT and SpeedStep work under Leopard... No result with Snow...

[Chef Borjan]

Hi there. Had the same KP issues as others I'm afraid. Followed the instructions (at least I think I did).

When I went to software update however, it seems like before I had to hit 'restart', only a new iTunes version was installed. I assumed that during the shut down process the 10.6.2 update would be installed, but unfortunately all that popped up were error messages, saying that the update could not be installed...

Thoughts?

[beland]

only a new iTunes version was installed

AFAIremember itunes doesn't require reboot to be installed. safari does and it indeed turned 4.0.4 (lol) recently. as for kp - all cases in this thread are due to using old (pre-10.6.2) sleepenabler

[AppleIIGuy]

ok this is how I installed the mach_kernel on my Wind 100

I downloaded the sleepenabler.kext for 10.6.2

Downloaded the patched kernel for atom

I then installed the sleepenabler.kext and rebuilt caches

Then I unzipped the mach_kernel to my desktop

opened Terminal

sudo -s

mv mach_kernel /mach_kernel.atom

cd /

chown 0:0 mach_kernel.atom

I then installed the 10.6.2 update

It will reboot and install the update when you see the chameleon boot screen type mach_kernel.atom

You will then boot to 10.6.2 fter you bootup completes open terminal again

sudo -s

mv mach_kernel.atom /mach_kernel

chown 0:0 mach_kernel

then reboot

How can this be installed to use EFI and be 100% Vanilla?

[pierrox]

How can this be installed to use EFI and be 100% Vanilla?

You would need to have a copy of the patched kernel on your EFI partition, and add a line in the boot.plist to tell it to use it instead of the official kernel. I don't know how it would react if you have multiboot though.

[NSCXP2005]

do you know what the line to add is?

[beland]

You would need to have a copy of the patched kernel on your EFI partition

why the heck? efi is used for bootloader, boot.plist and hardware specific kexts to reside only. mach_kernel is to be kept on SL partition.
the only thing to do to have fully working 10.6.2 is update to it and then REPLACE the original mach_kernel with the patched one before system restart. DONE.

NSCXP2005, now there's NO WAY to be 100% Vanilla with Atom under 10.6.2 (you are, actually. but till the next SU (10.6.3 . what tea's done is the ONLY WAY for now to run 10.6.2 with Atom
BTW, seems tea owns NC10. so the best way for you is to follow his blog news (see first post for links)
