drrty byl Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I wonder how long they will continue to offer sources like that. You have to admit -- it's a pretty smart move to get even more people interested in mac os. Sort of leads one to think that maybe the cracking of intel os x was orchestrated by apple to get a free development testbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Has anybody with a real Mac tried to load the compiled kernel with the old Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext? What happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I figure this is a big NO, but would this make it to where you can run on SSE only cpus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I figure this is a big NO, but would this make it to where you can run on SSE only cpus? Nope. SSE3 has only a handful of instructions that aren't in SSE2, which means it's very easy to substitute instructions for SSE2-equivalents. SSE2 has hundreds of new instructions that aren't in SSE, which makes running OS X on an SSE machine impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thats what I thought. Oh well. I guess I nee to get me a pure Mac for my non gaming purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harietje Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Does nobody else than Maxxuss know which parts of the kernel need adjustments for using it the way we do? What are the differences between the 10.4.4 original source and the 10.4.4 'hacked' source? What's the sticking point which causes the original kernel to fail on our hackintoshes?

Careless Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 so just to guage the level of modification this new open source kernel has brought us. exactly HOW difficult will it be for one like myself (virtually no coding knowledge, other than various web languages), to get my Opteron 165 running just as good, or better than the current kernel that all us non-mac hardware users are running on right now? just trying to look into it with a realistic perspective.

It helps people like us (those with no Kernel coding knowledge) none whatsoever. The long-term implication is that someone with kernel knowledge could take it and make it usable for us.

guiyoforward Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 sorry, so has anyone tinkered with this? is the code available yet? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 the kernel that was released by apple is not going to be used in 10.5 so it is no use for apple to keep it locked up anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
