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

Way to go, Sinetek!

To test it though, i'll have to somehow revert the insn patches i did for my -force64 system to run 32bit apps.

Thanks!

[Sinetek]

should be fine with the patches anyway

[SS01]

I just tested, booted with sinetek_kernel, arch=x86_64 and -v. Worked perfectly, and got rid of my DEVICE IN SLOT: SLOT--1 error, thus speeding up boot times by lightyears.

Edit: for anyone who is getting "Mach0 is bad", boot explicitly with arch=x86_64. this may or may not be necessary.

Congratz and Thanks mate !!!


I can confirm that your kernel can really really run my osx snow in 64-bits mode  NATIVELY!!!


here is the screenshot when I run it with:  arch=x86_64 busratio=17 -f -v  








EDIT #1:


it can open & run the 64-bits version of GeekBench

For some strange reason when I enter the boot flags in it boot straight to a black screen. Tried turning GraphicsEnabler off still black screen

I bet geekbench is going to scream fast. shane, i think it's the busratio maybe. i'll fix this soonish i guess

I tried adding busratio but it didn't help.

[Sinetek]

yeah it's actually a fixed value, i removed the busratio= lol. Hold on i'll put it back in

Lol ok. Take your time mate. Need to fix a couple things on it anyway.

Great job and congratulations to the best team on insaneleymac, a great job so close to Christmas.
Guys you are the best
even if it is only for Snow Leopard, now Mountain Lion's turn.

Same problem here,  AMD Athlon II X2 5200+.
Bootflags, /sinetek_kernel arch=x86_64 busratio=13 -v

Currently running Nawcom kernel,
10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Mon Jun 27 20:06:12 EDT 2011; legacy kernel v8 :xnu-1504.15.3/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386
With bootflags, arch=i386 -force64

[Sinetek]

phenom only

fix for Athlon coming up eventually

[Deltac0]

Just for you all Athlon users:

I think Sinetek's kernel uses L3 cache on some function and becase Athlon doesn't have it the result is black screen.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

good job on the kernel guys ..... OSX on 64 bit AMD  

i bet even Steve(R.I.P) would give you Props for that

anyone checked on FSB  is  it correct ? or am i mixing it up now kernel wise ?

It seems that the fsb freq has already been corrected to 200MHz








and all cpu's cores (multi-threads) are detected and they work perfectly

Same problem here, boot to black screen,  AMD FX8120 Bulldozer 3.1GHz.
