for the moment, the kernel funtions only on Phenoms. FX and Athlon support will come later

New KP ! :)

Somehow maybe related to kexts...

RIP:0xffffff800022e1f9, if this helps you. Phenom II with:

sinetek -v -F busratio=17 arch=x86_64 maxmem=4096

Patched dyld. Without maxmem it just reboots after that panic.

I have a problem with the dyld thing. AnV kernel with custom dyld boots fine, but Sinetek's kernel gives weird error and reboot.
I'll upload a video to show it.

EDIT: heres a video



Just for your information, I boot from an external USB hard drive.
I made the following adjustments:
The IOUSBFamily.Kext under /Plugins/ I removed the AppleUSBOHCI.kext and then booted the system:

BSD root: disk0s3, major 14, minor 3
jnl; unknown-dev: journal start / end pointers reset! (jnl 0x151e3e60, s e 0x4c0e00 0x4c0e00)

there gives no message: waiting for root device and the keyboard is fully functional


Hmm, it might be the HDD. Try to boot with -x or something.
Actually, I had that same error today, but I rebooted and it was gone.

Hi, here is a test build for Snow Leopard.
A busratio of 17 is hardcoded in......
boot with arch=x86_64 -v

Here are what I've already done with my osx snow:


1. restore these files with the backup ones (unpatched)

2. repatch those files with the latest version of AnV's AMD INSN Patcher

NOTE:

the CarbonCore can't be patched with these error messages:

Patching universal binary (3 architectures)
Patching X86_64 part (processor 16777223, architecture 0)
Code signature removed succesfully (64bit)Patch report (1): 0 instructions patched, 80 bad instructions, patches bypassed: NO
Patching I386 part (processor 7, architecture 1)
Code signature removed succesfully (32bit)Patch report (2): 0 instructions patched, 14 bad instructions, patches bypassed: NO
Skipping non-Intel architecture (2)
No patches found, not generating output file !!!


3. run: sudo update_dyld_shared_cache

4. do the repair permissions



FYI, the result (with all those patched files):
now most of 32-bits & 64-bits apps are able to run in osx' 64-bits native mode, except those 2 ones

Can you upload the original dyld files somewhere? :D
I have patched my own, but they do not seem to work. :)

EDIT: I got it booting! x86_64! Found my original dyld and patched it, repaired permissions -> BOOT!
But... I haven't found my original libSystem.B.dylib, so almost all apps crash, for example, I can't use Opera.

I'd be glad if someone uploaded the original libSystem.B.dylib from SL (10.6.8) :)

Thanks for the libSystem! :)

Now I have almost fully functional OS X 10.6.8 64-bit on AMD! :)

Sound is the only thing that doesn't (yet) work, but it's just a kext problem. :)
The kernel is very stable and pretty damn fast with various tasks compared to other SL kernels for AMD.

:)

EDIT: Actually, even my iTunes and Quicktime seem to be working. :) And got my audio working too! :)

Everything is working except the iphoto import.
So it seems the quicktime component isn´t working correctly.

Use this amd_insn_patcher and try to patch it yourself:

I am new to InsanelyMac. However, I have both hardware and software development experience. I am about to obtain a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 or UD3 (Revision 1.1 or higher). It will have a FX8350 CPU with 16 GB or more RAM, and a 256 GB SSD for the OS and what not. The data files will be on a totally separate disk.

My observation (after many forum reviews) is that to run Snow Leopard well and in 64 bit mode, sinetek's future mach_kernel update for FX is the best choice. The question I have is whether it will be necessary to obtain the hardware prior to the FX kernel update and assist testing the kernel modifications for this most recent FX processor.

@sinetek: contact me if there is anything I can do to help complete the FX kernel mods.

From a motherboard perspective only, it looks like Crucial 1600 DDR3 memory and the M4 SSD are solid selections. If there are any experiences with this Gigabyte motherboard using Crucial components and Snow Leopard, please post.

I am looking forward to taking advantage of 8 cores on Mac OS X, and want to contribute to a succesfull AMD FX kernel.

Thanks.

If someone could ask Sinetek and tell me where L3 cache is used, I could try to fix it for Athlons.
I have Ahtlon 4000+ myself, but I don't really find the need for 64-bit...
And I'm far too lazy to scroll through the Sinetek-1504 diff to see where L3 is used... So, if someone finds it, I can try to fix it. No guarantees though. :D

Hello, rd8111 and happel!

Please join the chat room #legacykernel at the server chat.osx86.hu (IRC).

If you're not familiarized with IRC, there's a good and free client, Colloquy (google for it).

Best regards!

Lol, Delta!

I myself didn't bother because i have 64-bit user land in a very very stable 10.6.8 system, and this can be easily achieved by anyone who invests a little time on it. It's more than i need (and unless one has drivers that only run 64-bit for Snow Leopard, is more than anyone needs too), besides i really want to focus on Mountain Lion (and Lion, perhaps). The value of sinetek's 64-bit kernel for 10.6.8 lies in a proof of concept, that AMD machines and 64-bit XNUs are not an impossible combination.

Best regards!

You forgot one thing... Some Adobe programs use SSSE3 and 64-bit kernel ;)

Delta, are you sure it has to be 64-bit kernel space instead of 64-bit user land?

Hmm, i'll try to install Adobe CS6 on my AMD hackint0sh later today... let's know for sure. :)
