[Sinetek]

yeah actually

for lion

[Justin Edwards]

@Sinetek could you please compile a 10.6.8 kernel with newest changes? I'd like to test it for snow leopard as well as lion, thanks

[SS01]

Justin Edwards: No offense, but why do you want one? Snow Leopard works flawlessly on AMD as it is, thanks to Nawcom.

Sinetek: Strange. I'll bug you one last time: what are your specs? Oh, and if you're in VMWare, I urge you to test on actual hardware.

If anyone wants to pop in the chat from their web browser without downloading a client, you can do it here. Just type in your username and hit go. Note that you must change mib_xxx to your username - due to misuse by spammers, mib_xxx names are now banned. :3

Uhh..
Hello? Sinetek JUST made changes to the sysenter stuff. Meaning no patching etc, for smooth snow leopard . 2nd -force64 on snow leopard still doesn't allow finder m4v quick look due to no ssse3 emulator lol

[SS01]

Just use nawcom's legacy kernel? as far as I know, snow leopard does not use ssse3 at all. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I already use it, and you are wrong QuickTime and safari on 64-bit crash when viewing videos unless In 32 bit I want full 64 lol

@sinetek tested kernel on lion, booted with -legacy arch=i386 booted fine, xpchelper issues present, I tried the testcase program, kernel panic upon loading

I'm not getting past "BSD root: disk3s2, major 14, minor 10" with that kernel. (BEFORE "Kernel is LP64") Also, I don't see any "Enabling SSSE3 Emulator..." line. Is is completely silent now?

[ham4ever]

i stuck in"  

BSD root: disk0s2, major 14, minor 2 "

after this line should be com.apple.lunchd ,,, something

[IiTz ShAnE]

Same as others. Stuck at BSD root.

The sources for the Opcode emulator have been revamped and tested, and it works great for 32/64 now.
Sysenter emulation has been added, so 32b processes now start. However, there is a really strange problem on my hardware, NO 64b process starts successfully at all. This is with -force64. Why could that be??

-- Sinetek

Any chance we could see the patch code please? I am interested in having a look over the Christmas vacation.

[SS01]

the only mention of BSD Root I've found on the forums is way back from Tiger days, and has to do with corrupted ramdisks. hmm..

[IiTz ShAnE]

Try removing other hard drives apart from the one Lion is installed and try boot. I would test but I broke my lion install.

Maybe it's not getting stuck @ BSD Root, but the thing that comes after BSD Root?

[wastez]

Tested the kernel on my system but it´s the same.
It stops 3 lines after BSD Root.

What are those 3 lines? Something about jnl replay_journal? Like this:

Quote

Dec 24 11:22:33 localhost kernel[0]: jnl: unknown-dev: replay_journal: from: xxxxxxxx to: xxxxxxxx (joffset 0x000000)

You have to patch dyld to make it work. There is a huge problem on my machine with 64 bit processes, they don't spawn at all.
I have an exam tomorrow, but I have an interesting idea about debugging I'll be checking out after that.

Thank you!

Exactly yes, and after it a plugin from fakesmc was displayed

Try with busratio=xx?
I don't actually have any clue why, but it has fixed my issues with random KPs. The freq and bus freq seem to be right though.

My system stops @ IOAHCIDiskQueueMangager
