Mavericks kernel testing on AMD (formerly Mountain Lion kernel testing on AMD)

theconnactic · December 13, 2012

Hey, mac_carol!

I was suggesting you use the latest non-debugging kernel from AnV (test 5) with the TSC module and the flags -enable_ssse3emu cpus=1.

The fact, i must insist, is that until we get the ssse3emu to properly work, we're stuck. The lack of ssse3 support is the main reason the processes lauched by launchd (forgive me the pun) don't run.

Thank you guys for the extensive tests.

Thank you!

testing this kernel

http://www.insanelym...40#entry1873038

with flags: cpus=1 -enable_ssse3emu

result: can't pass the "Kernel is LP64"

@ALL

is there anyone who can provide us any bash scripts for installing:

- cparm bootloader & modules,

- and also AnV's patched launchd ?

please share

thanks

Without any mod? Thus without corecrypto... that could explain the assertion failure in itself.

Corecrypto isn't just the hashes sha1 sha256 etc...

It is also a encryption and decryption library...

I think it is also used by dsmos as it also contains aes functions (both sse4 as regular instructions...)

Andy, i'm up to try to tweak the ssse3 emulator later tonight. I think the more people get involved with a given task, the more quickly the results show up. As i said before, i think we should focus now on get the emulator to work, since is almost certain the lack of ssse3 is preventing the user space to run. SS01 told me yesterday that you're sure the emulator isn't ready for 64-bit usage yet. Can you share your thoughts about it with me?

Thank you!

P.S.: and thank you, mac_carol, for the tests you did.

Tried the launchd too, but without success, still stocks on Kernel is LP64.

Yeah it needs more work.

Afaik Sinetek is working on it and almost has it done but he's still sorting out how to access instructions stored above 0xfff in the set commpage entry I know he'll do a good job on it.

Keep up the good work Sinetek

spakk · December 13, 2012

Andy,

This test, however, without the driver adjustments in S / L / E

I still need to install the drivers for my hardware. it was for this test once secondary.

Andy I have still a naive question.

debug_kernel created after booting a file in OSX? If so where, can I find this item? the boot over several pages long run I'd like to upload the complete file.

zchef2k · December 13, 2012

- and also AnV's patched launchd ?

Include this in his launchd folder... specifically in launchd/Release/. Name it launchdhelper.sh and chmod +x it.

Just a thought: has anybody ever tried booting in single user (-s).

Wondering if that works...

Please test it...

You probably have to escape the spaces in the <volume name>. Don't use the trailing slash either.

That's what I tried first; it outputs the same. I could just do it manually, but I don't think it's really going to get anywhere.

zchef2k · December 13, 2012

The script works of me in Linux. But my mountpoint is /mnt. I didn't thoroughly test other scenarios. Sure, the script could be improved. Perhaps it won't help the overall cause, but I created it for my own testing anyway.

Symlink your volume to a path without spaces and see if that gets you anywhere. And again, user beware.

spakk · December 13, 2012

I have now booted with the last kernel Andys. I've adapted the driver in S / L / E . I think that I need to modify the network card driver. otherwise it looks very positive on Phenom II X6.

here my test with last Andys Kernel

boot with 10.8 with boot flag -enable_ssse3emu

Part1 http://www.workupload.com/file/M4ANTGO

Part2 http://www.workupload.com/file/1ZAhv6v

boot with 10.8 with boot flag -s

Part1 http://www.workupload.com/file/F8OLV36

Part2 http://www.workupload.com/file/rIeU2MM

Part3 http://www.workupload.com/file/G5p4nsa

boot with 10.8.3 with boot flag -s -enable_ssse3emu

Part2 http://www.workupload.com/file/ICh4sq0

Part3 http://www.workupload.com/file/oIaoMOK

What do you think?

I have no OSX 10.8.2 to test with Andy's kernel

Before testing your script, chef, what would be the expected result if everything goes well?

That's what I tried first; it outputs the same. I could just do it manually, but I don't think it's really going to get anywhere.

I would not say it wouldn't get anywhere, but i think we'll only have a working AMD installation of Mountain Lion when the ssse3 emulator is finished. Sinetek's working on it, so i hope we get good news soon.

I have now booted with the last kernel Andys. I've adapted the driver in S / L / E . I think that I need to modify the network card driver. otherwise it looks very positive on Phenom II X6.

Thank you for the extensive tests. However, couldn't you post the pics here instead of in a file host?

zchef2k · December 14, 2012

Our old friend corecrypto has come back to pay a visit. I have not been using the patched kext during this most recent testing. I've been masking the AMD SSE3 bit in VMware. We've been freezing at LP64. If I remove the mask and boot fips_mode=0, that boot arg is no longer sufficient to continue booting. Observe.

SS01 · December 14, 2012

zchef2k, what corecrypto are you using? vanilla causes panic. you need Andy's patched one

I am pleased to announce that the SSSE3 emulator has been ported to AMD64!

Here is a kernel for 10.7.5, please test it :star_sunglasses:

Wow. You did it pretty damn quickly, too bad I don't have Lion running atm. :/
