vassalle Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 to be honest, i didnt want to try coz I was happy with mikfi's nonx kernel, which was to me, more responsive and stabler compared to your first kernel.. finally i decided to take this new kernel for a test drive and god was i glad. It's so smooth, its freakin unbelievable. im stickin to this from now on. im using the ci-rc12 version. just a little quirk, which was present in your earlier and mikfi's nonx kernel. I can only shutdown, reboot doest work. specs are in my sig xcept that im using 6800 now. do you by any chance know why reboot doesnt work for me? anyway, good job semthex! keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semthex Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Thsi reboot problem is to be fixed atm :-) I am over it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Call me nuts, but this runs A LOT faster than the Vitality kernel as far as boot time and general application loading times. I can load a 10-minute complex song in GarageBand in about 7 seconds flat. Even though I meet all requirements to run the no-NX build of Vitality's kernel, menus and other things have delays before they open. With this, it's instantaneous. One pet peeve: Why doesn't "About This Mac" display the correct CPU? "3Ghz Intel Core Duo" is better than "3Ghz unknown," but still. I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Sorry.

One pet peeve: Why doesn't "About This Mac" display the correct CPU? "3Ghz Intel Core Duo" is better than "3Ghz unknown," but still. I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Sorry. It's all about a correct calculation of clocking. I dunno what you are doing, but I don't think you use either a build witch correct clocking or ... no idea lol. My latest build rusn with a 100% perfect timing and uses other more accurate math to calculate some values without rounding or needed casting. It determains speed of bus etc to ~1Hz correcty and will do everything but never run slower than any unoptimized near to apple source like kernel. Vertified working correctly with a list of cpus and hardware reaching from alaska to suddan... The CPU thing will be gone in a later build but i am currently to lazy to fix this cause it's not really an number 1 topic on my list but if you are fixed on that, no problem I will fix so you can happy. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semthex Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Just blew out a new version, reboot works now fine and dual cores should be fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axix Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 The new kernel works for me But sleep doesnt work! I would say thanks for all Semthex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erhnam Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Jas, can we expect a ppf file to patch you latest version of the dvd in order to add amd and vmware support to the kernel? Would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrei Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Using all 10.4.8 kernels (Semthex, Mifki, DaemondDS), after wakeup all USB devices (mouse, bluetooth, sound) are not reconnected automatically but I can do this manually. I have D945GCZ mobo. With 10.4.4 kernel I had no that problem. Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semthex Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 have you tried with a USB kext repalcement? otehrwise send me a bug report via pm and i'll fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOoOoO Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 semthex, does your kernel use intel ICH hpet support ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 semthex, tried new version and still no duo core for "Memrom T5600". The new version did detect the bus speed correctly at 667. The only way I could keep from rebooting with cpu=2 was to have vitalization enabled. It would stay running and with no clock slow downs, but unstable. I could not open Safari or open any .plist. I hope the problems with "Memrom's" can be corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Booted into the new kernel with now problems at all. Checked out "About This Mac" and it displays the correct speed, but incorrect processor (Core Solo instead of Pentium D), though it show up fine in System Profiler. Not a big deal. Clock runs perfect (even with the proc OC'd to 3.09), both cores are cranking away, and the system is stable as a brick wall. Cheers semthex!

Hikari Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thank you sooo much. The kernel works totally great! I have one question: How do I hide the mach_kernel file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariadri Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 semthex it's the best kernel so far. Everything works, about this mac, restart, safari, nvidia with titan drivers all there with a speed boost. my bench mark was up about 30% than your last kernel. I give the thumbs wayy uppppp will donate thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leodm Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The clock is correct with this kernel, without specifying fsb=xxx. However, sleep still doesnt work here(cant wakeup). Restart is ok now. Also, in "About this mac", my cpu speed is wrong(as other kernels)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92GTA Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Can someone please put this on Demonoid or is JaS going to release a ppf for this on Demon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vassalle Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 <rubbish> damn.. cant wait to get back home and try this! </rubbish> congrats and thanks to semthex for releasing yet again, a darn fine kernel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark4181 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 tried adding the nebu kernel into the new jas 10.4.8 reseed (11-03-06) ...it worked, but wouldn't run... it will start to load darwin, then it'll restart back through my bios, over and over, won't take imput from me... i'm guessing i need more than just the nebu kernel, like some relevant amd kext or something looks like i'm stuck waiting for a dvd with both amd sse3 options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu3d3s Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 hi all, forgives me a basic question, but i dont find a new kernel for donwload it please help me. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 forgives me a basic question, but i dont find a new kernel for donwload it Go to IRC server irc.macspeak.net. and log onto channel #kernel and ask for the link Click the Chat link in the forum title bar On the next page, click the "forum" link.

rizzopro Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hey All... Damn! What a kernel!! Just tried it on a Dell 4700 and was evan able to turn Hyper Threading on with no auto reboot like last kernel..seems alot more stable. Apps seem to load faster..still testing but looks good!! SEMTHEX.....YOU ARE THE MAN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
