mr_six Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I was wondering what the difference is between the vanilla kernels, and the Netkas sleep/speedstep kernels. Also any possible advantages/disadvantages to them? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101186-kernel-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Vanilla kernels are what Apple releases. They work on Core2 Processors without any modification if PC-EFI is installed. However thay always tend to have sleep/speedstep issues on non Apple Hardware. That is where Netkas, ModBin, ToH kernels come into place. Inessence, if you are on desktop with a core2 processor, you dont care about sleep/speedstep and so can run vanilla without any issues However if you are on a laptop or not running a Core2 CPU, then you shouldnt be running vanilla Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101186-kernel-question/#findComment-721920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_six Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ok, thanks, I'm running on a laptop, I've used both previous versions of leo4all and I'm downloading v3 right now. I was just curious what the difference was, I've always just stuck with whatever was selected by default.
