Apple today seeded the second preview version of OS X Mountain Lion to developers, building upon the initial developer version released one month ago.

As noted by The Next Web, Apple has also posted an extensive list of known issues alerting developers to various bugs and missing features that have yet to be addressed.

 

OS X Mountain Lion is Apple's next major operating system version and is scheduled for release in "late summer". The release will offer greater integration with iCloud, as well as a number of new feature including some drawn from iOS.

 

  • 32-bit kernel extensions are not supported in Mountain Lion --------> OPS:::!!!!
  • AirPlay mirroring is not supported with the with the current version of the Apple TV software

Game Center

  • The Game Center Server environment is set to Sandbox. Existing Sandbox accounts may be used, or you may create a new account
    • In the Sandbox environment:
      • Game & Friend Recommendations are not supported
      • Friends can view games in common but not friends’ other games
      • Photos are not supported
      • No email vetting and friend requests to un-vetted email addresses are allowed
      • No support for out of network friend requests is provided
      • Game matchmaking versioning restrictions are more relaxed

      [*]Some of the Game Detail information does not display (Game Provider, Pricing, etc.) in this Developer Preview

      [*]Search is not functional

      [*]No badges shown for Friend Requests

      [*]Peer-to-Peer GameKit API is not supported

      [*]Leaderboards, Achievements, or Players may be displayed incorrectly. To resolve this issue quit Game Center and re-launch

    [*]The new Notes application does not currently import the following types of notes:

    • Microsoft Exchange
    • Notes existing in sub-folders of IMAP accounts
    • Local notes in an “On My Mac” account

Notes in these accounts will be available in Mail

  • Notes shared via Messages may not include note content
  • Screen Sharing may not work between OS X Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard or earlier OS X releases in this Developer Preview
  • AppleScript is not fully functional in this Developer Preview
    • AppleScripts used to launch Applications which are not already open will time out
    • AppleScripts may not be able to send AppleEvents to Mail

    [*]DVD Player may not launch after inserting a DVD on some systems

    [*]DVD Movie Playback does not work on certain NVIDIA GPUs

    [*]Horizontal metrics for Apple SD Gothic Neo are narrower than in AppleGothic. Applications localized to Korean may experience text layout underflow in multi-line text strings

    [*]Video content with displays that use HDCP may experience graphics corruption on certain NVIDIA GPUs

    [*]Enabling display rotation causes kernel panic on certain NVIDIA GPUs

    [*]Signing into Setup Assistant with your AppleID does not sign you into iCloud

    [*]NSDocument-based applications which use auto-save & iCloud entitlements will be opted into the new Document Library automatically. The option to disable this is not currently available

    [*]Kernel, kexts, and zones are now based at unpredictable addresses at each boot. The addresses in the kernel symbol table are unslid, and will not accurately reflect a running system. Provided that Xcode 4.4 gdb is used, KASLR is transparent to kernel debugging

    • To temporarily disable KASLR, set “slide=0″ in the boot-args

    [*]Panics may occur when a Port Multiplier or PCI eSATA drive is attached

    [*]While booted into the Recovery Partition, you may be unable to connect to WiFi networks

    [*]Safari does not function in the Recovery Partition

    [*]Restoring from network backups in the Recovery Partition may fail

hi

 

no problems in the install, and for now nothing new.

 

same problem for me in kernelcache like DP1

 

if use UseKernelCache=Yes in chameleon the system hangs in the usb, kernelcache=No, no problems in DP1 or DP2

 

good hack

kernelcache is not being updated and Chameleon doesn't load it because it's older than Extensions folder

/System/Library/Extensions is more recent than KernelCache (/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache), ignoring KernelCache

 

Looks like the problem is in AppleThunderboltNHI.kext which has unresolved symbols

kxld[com.apple.driver.AppleThunderboltNHI]: The following symbols are unresolved for this kext:

kxld[com.apple.driver.AppleThunderboltNHI]: IOPCIDevice::protectDevice(unsigned int, unsigned int)

kxld[com.apple.driver.AppleThunderboltNHI]: IOPCIDevice::setConfigHandler(int (*)(void*, unsigned int, IOPCIDevice*, unsigned int), void*, int (**)(void*, unsigned int, IOPCIDevice*, unsigned int), void**)

kxld[com.apple.driver.AppleThunderboltNHI]: IOPCI2PCIBridge::adjustPowerState(unsigned long)

Link failed (error code 5).

Prelink failed for com.apple.driver.AppleThunderboltNHI; aborting prelink.

Failed to generate prelinked kernel.

 

Removing the kext, kernelcache is updated and loaded normally

sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/AppleThunderboltNHI.kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleThunderboltNHI.kext.orig
sudo kextcache -prelinked-kernel

 

Loading Darwin 10.8

Loading kernel cache /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache

Read HFS+ file: [hd(0,3)/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache] 4096 bytes.

Read HFS+ file: [hd(0,3)/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache] 28368802 bytes.

 

Edit: actually the problem only happens if I'm using this IOPCIFamily (to see verbose boot after "PCI configuration begin"), using original IOPCIFamily there's no error creating kernelcache.

The OBVIOUS welcome change is IOPCIFamily.kext, which is back to supporting an array of motherboards. I could not boot straight to a new install on 1 of my machines which has atypical ICH10R chipset. Now it does it with no boot parameter at all. What a relief. I even managed to install to RAID0 volume that has always been tricky since Lion.

I noticed something about a Library of graphics cards. On 1 machine that has NVidia 9600GSO, fan power is on Max when Desktop appears. DVD players also is not loading. But beyond that, everything is smooth. Again software RAID support is a major plus for me.

In fact, I am making it my day-t-day OS since it seems stable enough.

I will try ATI cards right now.

I get (frist ever for me) an reboot booting from the USB Install Stick - without any KP / others things listed on verbose screen. C2D / NV 9600 GT.

I will look furhter - DP1 install (same process worked).

EDIT: Was the Chameleon 1890 ML bootloader. Even listed as ML ready (used the Chameleon thread here) it doesnt work rebbots- I crosschecked that if i try to boot my already on HD ML DP1 which also reboots. Using an older 1831 ML chameleon didnt reboot.

BUT: As i reached first menue to select language - doesnt matter which lang i select it showdowns?!

Same here. DP1 worked perfectly now as soon as i click install, it gives me error and options to restart or shutdown. :|

@ the installation process i've not encounted any problem. As bootloader I used just Chimera 1.8 without any error mentioned here.

Everything just works flawless here! (Monitor Sleep issues also resolved in DP2).
