munky Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 So I have a MacBook Pro Core Duo 1.83Ghz, running 10.4.8. According to semthex (and others) the latest kernel from Apple is darwin 8.8.3. My machine reports its version as 8.8.1 (ie the same as the hackintosh kernel), and Software Update reports everything is up to date. Is the 8.8.3 kernel part of an update for Core 2 Duo machines or something? No biggie - just wondered how come mine isnt updating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I saw 8.8.3 on my mates C2D when I ran uname -a I'm running 8.9.1 so I feel oddly smug :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 lol. too many folks having problems with those 10.4.9 builds for me to risk my production machine thanks for the lowdown anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embio Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 This was a Macbook - surely it cant be a Macbook only kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 the hunt is on for 8.8.3... so far we have a core duo macbook pro without it, and a core 2 duo imac without it. any other machines with / without? EDIT: I just noticed, my 10.4.8 build is 8L2127, and Embio's 10.4.9 build is 8P2127. any significance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Macbook no 8.8.3 core duo Embio's is that because thats what they call the build on 10.4.9 after you run the reversioner and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 no, thats the build number, out of the box might not be a coincidence Munky, though why 2127 I dont know. I'll ask Woz next time I'm passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embio Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 haha yeah exactly. Bit off topic, but I installed Cheetah (won an eBay auction, was curious) onto my Powermac and in 'start up disk' it said my Server install was 10.4.9 - which I had been messing with but I hadnt thought I was successful. Perhaps it just changed an ID file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbic Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) My C2D MacBook Pro has 8.8.2! I feel special. It's not 8.8.1 or 8.8.3. EDIT: Screenshot. Fear my reversed Terminal colors. Meh, my name is in that pic. Whatever. I trust people on this forum not to stalk me. Edited February 14, 2007 by ErBiC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
