Mac OS X Leopard GM Final 9A581 Kernel Patch (INTEL/AMD/NO-HPET/NO-NX/SSE2) and Source Code for OSx86 Hackintosh

This kernel patch will allow you to run the newest leopard build (10.5 final or 9a581) on your (non apple) Intel or AMD pc.


Also included is the source code that was originally written by Lorem (oui, socket), Maxxuss, and Rufus for SSE3 emulation, the CPUID_SET_INFO patch that allows it to run on non Intel, and also several other tweaks and patches that allows all of this to work. This should be open to the world to have, so that others may be able to pick up where they left off and make their own kernels, and not just a few select people to have. The author of the source code has given me permission to post it here.

OMG -- The Source !!
Now the world never be the same!!

Wow... I'm speechless.

Props for the good work!!! Btw does this need Tiger preinstalled? Either way, awesome work!!!!!

Awesome!

so. SSE2 with SSE3 emulation? Does this mean that with my SSE3 Athlon 64, it will be emulating the SSE3 stuff?

Really ? Leopard for AMD ? Wooowwwww !

A very big thanks for sharing knowledge (and the patch )

to those who didnt have any OS X yet.
Can you do the patch kind of this to patch Leopard in Vista, XP

Netkas has his own kernel out too, and I don't think it is great to have a bunch of clowns making kernel left right and centre, we will have tons of crap, and Apple will make it harder to crack for all can see how it was cracked now.

Could someone please post some instructions on how to use this patcher?

instruction is inside archive

Wow! Thats amazing! Thank you very much, and thanks to all that helped to make this work.

Could someone uplaod it again
the rapidshare link does'nt work, may be too much access or
legal action from the fruit ?
Thanks

it looks like they put it on the bay as well.

Umm... I am not sure what the current the DMCA policy is here... or even if this site is still under US jurisdiction, but in the Mashugly days of InsanelyMac this posting would be in violation site policy.

Just to be clear, like everyone else here I use these types patchs. We just want to make sure that this site stays out of Apple Legal trouble, which can be quite damaging.

Very bad post
If I were a mod I'd delete it. Because you prefer the work of one developer you shouldn't call the others "clowns".

Thanks for the information on Netkas' kernel, but I think that it is good to have choices. I mean, the more people working on OS X kernels and hacks, the stronger the OSx86 community is.

I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6320.

When I use this kernel it says I have an Intel Core 2 Solo.
If I use the one from BrazilMac's Pack it says I have an Intel Core 2 Duo.

This is Great and for anyone who thinks this will make it harder to crack the kernels. since Apple can see what was done.This wont change anything they know what is going on.Apple does not need to even look at it cause they know how there kernel works...LOL there not stupid..

When I read his post I took it as he's not calling the current set of devs clowns but more like now anyone can start making and patching kernels. For example now some user has the code and starts posting his kernels without really testing and starts bricking peoples machines. The QA/QC could all but disappear. But i agree bad post for the name calling.

Does this patch work good on Intel Core2Duo systems? It does not emulate SSE3 when not necessary, right?

yeah Agree. very offensive.

If I apply this patch on the kernel from Leopard DVD, do I need anything else to make it bootable?

If you think that people who can even patch a DVD are going to start making there own kernels YOU ARE WRONG.LOL Come on Some People Cant even Follow Simple Guides to get OsX86 on there Own PC's.And Never Use Google.

HAHAH Good point I didn't even think of that LOL!! Looks like I'm the clown

I'm sorry for the dense question but if I understand correctly: When I get my retail copy of Leopard all I have to do is apply this patch and then I'll be able to install it on my hack? or do I have to get a different image for this to work?

k, I patched the kernel as per the included instructions and have the created hacked file.
Now what?
Do I need to inject it into a Leopard DVD DMG, if so, rename it, keep it named what it is, ????
FYI, you gotta edit the Could someone please post addition step by step directions.
I assume this patch/hack is to make a Leopard DVD install on non-Apple hardware.
If indeed it is, and it works, one might think that a tad more instructions might help, unless this is just for the super duper high end guru's, and not for us low end newbies that have crossed the line and become Apple newbies.
By the way, you gotta patch/modify the patcher.sh file to point to the path embedded in the file with user info, etc.
Sure a true hacker cracker might know, but let's share here...k?

I just checked this archive. I can confirm it doesnt have any Apple copyrighted materials.

I have the same question; Is this really all there is to it ? BrazilMac's method for example is much more involved, but no SSE2 support as yet - It involves its own (cut down in size too I might add) DVD too, not the retail :S.

EDIT: I think one way would be to use the BrazilMac DVD and replace the kernel with this one for SSE2 users, otherwise you could use it by default (Supporting SSE3)

Sup everyone -

I took this as replacing the kernel into the leopard iso that you make after following the Brazil Mac's guide. I am trying it now, and will post later if any progress.

I tried BrazilMac's guide without modifying any kernel, I got it to boot but it reboot the machine after trying to load something and stopped. Hopefully with this hacked kernel it will allow me to go further in the installation process.

Crossing fingers....X

EDIT: OMG, initial progress had shown...basically I am now able to boot into the installer, haven't installed yet because I'm preparing my partition now....but my lappy is a Dell 9300 SSE2, could this be real? Updates later....

I think you need the original Kernel from the leopard retail DVD to patch...BrazilMac's DVD already has a patched kernel I think (SSE3 only) so I'm not sure if the patch would work.

NVM, it's installing now...

Great! Anyone know when an actual packaged installer/DVD will be out for Intel, AMD, SSE2 & SSE3 cpus available for download (so all you have to do is burn and install?) I read later tonight somewhere, but does anyone know if this is true?

So I've already obtained a copy of Leopard, and I'm currently running Tiger on a partition on my Macintoshiba. I'd really like to upgrade to Leopard, but therein lies the problem. Everyone is installing Leopard on their hackintosh', and I've no doubt I would be able to do so myself, but thus far all the methods I've seen involve setting up yet another partition and installing leopard to it cleanly, rather than simply upgrading Tiger. If I were to patch my install dvd and then run it and attempt to install to the partition Tiger is on, would it upgrade, or would I end up with kernel screwageness?

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!!

I wouldn't risk upgrading Tiger; But you can wipe over your Tiger installation:

If anyone successfully gets it working on an SSE2 CPU please tell me your steps .

A clean install means facing the pain of backing up my files, re-installing Creative Suite 3, and ~groan~ kexts to get sound and ethernet running... maybe I'll just be patient.. meh. Thanks anywho...

In an unrelated note, I've been kind of curious as to whether or not Leopard came with support for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG... I know its a stretch, but the possiblity was enough to peak my interest since Apple is slowly moving toward support for more hardware and The 3945ABG is pretty standard issue. Anybody know?

I don't see why it would, They only need to support the hardware found in their own products.

So if I have a copy of Leopard GM 9a581 Patched for Intel PCs (SSE3 ONLY) but have sse2...

Can I use this? OR will I need to find another copy...

If you can replace the kernel with one patched for SSE2 you might be able to use it...at least from what I've heard. IMO we'll see some better DVDs come out with less fuss soon, such as the one from uphuck.

Any success stories ... ? Btw, I got this from some other place, Thanks to the original poster...

HOW TO MAKE SL-DVD if you have DL image

You need:
1. Leopard dmg image (6.6Gb)
2. A blank DVD
3. 17 Gb of harddisk space

HowTo:
1. Mount Leopard DMG
2. Open Disc Utility
3. Click on New Image
4. Name the image as temp (save to desktop)
5. Put the type as sparse image
6. Put the size 8Gb, and click create
7. Mount "temp.sparse"
8. In disc utility, select the temp image and click the restore tab
9. Drag the mounted OS X Install DVD to the Source field
10. Drag the mounted temp to the Destination field
11. Click Restore and wait
12. Once that is done, open the temp mounted image
13. Remove the X11 Tools under Optional Installs
14. Use Finder's "Go to Folder" and type: /Volumes/dump/System
15. Go to Installation -> Packages
16. Remove anything that has Printer in it
17. Remove languages that you do not need
19. Return to Disc Utility
20. Click on New Image
21. Name the image as burn (save on desktop)
22. Put the type as sparse image
23. Put the size 4.7Gb, and click create
24. Select the burn image and click the Restore tab
25. Drag the mounted temp to the Source field
26. Drag the mounted burn to the Destination field
27. Click Restore and wait
28. Once done, burn it to DVD

Hey read my quick guide.

The patched DVD that is in circulation will fit on a SL DVD.

That does not make it legal to post in the USA.

But if Apple find it objectionable, they will probably just ask the admins to remove the link.

Is this possible to install off an external drive (if the pc boots off usb devices). That way we don't have to burn the dvd and what not, or if the machine doesnt have a dvd drive.

There is nothing in that archive that is specifically for patching Apple's OS. It is all source files that could be used on anything, and also an xdelta patch that could have some flaws that allow it to patch a kernel, which it was not made to do.

Sure, but USB booting might be quirky.

Another way to go is to restore the Leopard install disk image to a hard drive partition.

Were can I get that from

I'm trying to patch kernel using my dualG5 but there seems to be something wrong with my sdelta3. It cannot be executed... any ideas?


Making sdelta3 runnable
Lipoing, if it errors, it could possibly be okay.
Patching mach_kernel.i386 into mach_kernel.hacked
patcher.sh: line 17: /Users/user/Desktop/581_AMD_Intel_SSE2_SSE3_Kernel_Patcher/sdelta3: cannot execute binary file
Removing mach_kernel.i386
-------------------------------------------------
Patched, the new file is called mach_kernel.hacked
To check the validity, here is the md5 of mach_kernel.hacked
MD5 (/Users/user/Desktop/581_AMD_Intel_SSE2_SSE3_Kernel_Patcher/mach_kernel.hacked) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
The md5 just printed should be e7b6a81058f10e3199b9e07b9d5f8464If not, then something went wrong, so try again.
Done!

it seems it doesn't work on PPC... can someone please send me patched kernel on easyviber (at) gmail.com?

haha I have this doubt also. if using this patched kernel on Athlon64 (which, has SSE3 natively), will the kernel force the SSE3 instruction to be processed by SSE3 emulation?

Thanks!
