Day have gone fast in the last weeks and it got a bit quite. So I am pround to announce a new improved build of SSE3 kernel is available from the kernelbot at the #kernel IRC channel. This one featuring some compiel tweaks, might boost your xbench score a bit.

 

Beside I wanted to bring some stats from IRC to your attention*:

b8 - downlaoded 1168 times

b9 - downlaoded 1367 times

 

Cheers everyone, let's go to 07!

 

* these stats represent the downlaods since the kernelbot@osx86kernel.org went online (Dec. 15th).

Thanks Semethex - all installed.

 

Just wondering if you ever had a change to look at the Ethernet issue with them not being recognized in your kernel for flexlm licensing apps.

 

My nic appears to be install and working properly but unfortunately under your kernal I can't install my student copy of maya as it doesn't recognize the nic. (I've been told your kernel does recognise it properly, rather than a kext issue).

Thanks very much Semthex :(

Same issue here on Geekbench.

 

Was running fine before kernel upgrade. Often it will result in a full kernel panic.

just installed and testing.

So far so good, thanks Semthex.

 

But there is a long time since I noticed better benchmark results. Tested now and got 148 Xbench, not so better than the one on my sig.

Hello semthex, I've not tested it yet.

 

But I just want to know if you've a hint to resolve the problem of Ethernet issue...

 

lmhostid for Maya is pissing me of.

 

But you should know that you have all my respect and congratulation for the work you made.

 

Keep it up and a thousand of thousand of thousand of thank you.

Signed - def need this ethernet issue fixed up for flexlm licensing.

 

Time for a donation I think to try and fast track this!

I am not inside about the fleLM issue, I can't even test it since I don't have any flexLM license thing. MAybe someone can help me out and send me a detailed describtion about this Error?

 

I was disabled a bit yesterday since my telco is a incompetent bunch of morons. I hope this will be fixed up this evening so we can kick some new builds out :tomato:

havent seen you on irc lately when i'm on. if you can message me any test kernels to 64 bit fix on forums i'll report back to you.

Intel rig P4D820 (see sig for details)

 

Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Wed Jan 10 01:14:49 CET 2007; root:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

 

geekbench 32 gives me 192Pts, I had 193Pts with Beta8 kernel

geekbench64 gives me "bus error" just like with Beta8 kernel

 

Xbench results are approximately the same with SF3 and Beta8.

seems to run fine so far but no improvement here - anyway, this P4D820 CPU is really {censored}. I hope I can get a core 2 duo soon...

 

Let me know if you want any special test running on my intel or AMD combos with this kernel.

 

thanks for your great work !

Well, I just had my first Kernel Panic.

Just browsing with Safari, and right at the moment I minimized Safari to dock, BING, kernel panic. It did not created a Panic.log so I can't tell more.

I have been using Beta8 for weeks without problem but SF3 seems less stable.
