phobox Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Hi all Well after an entire morning and half of an afternoon spent trying to get 10.5.3 working ok on this box, I think Im finally there... sort of. It would seem that the 9.3.0 kernel (which is from 10.5.3) by modbin causes a kernel panic with all versions of vmware fusion. It does however work fine with Parallels. For this reason, Ive had to go back to the old 9.2.0 (from 10.5.2) kernel and system.kext. Does anyone have any idea how I can report this to modbin? Or does anyone have any other 9.3.0 kernels available to try? I cant use the vanilla because Im on a Pentium D, so Im reliant on the modded kernels. Thanks all, your help is appreciated.

lord_muad_dib Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 to let vmware work the kernel must be coupled with the same version of the system, if you have 10.5.2 you can't use 9.3 kernel.. and so on Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107895-1053-kernel-by-modbin-breaks-vmware/#findComment-765322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phobox Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 I am using 10.5.3 with modbin's 9.3.0 kernel and the correct 10.5.3 system.kext, in fact that was one of the first things I checked. I can also confirm that all my USB devices work correctly and disk images mount fine, so system.kext must be ok for that all to be working fine. Is anyone else having issues with vmware and modbin's 9.3.0 kernel?

antimony Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I am also one of the few who have a Pentium D. It seems like 64 bit support is not quite there in the modbin kernel because when I boot with the 64 bit flag Chess (a 64 bit app crashes). It also seems to not recognize my full 4GB of ram since that needs 64 bit as well. In 10.5.2 it boot automatically in 64-bit and chess worked. Do you think you can PM me the 10.5.2 system.kext phobox? I forgot to back it up. Hopefully there will be an updated kernel just like we've seen many revisions of the 9.2 kernel. EDIT: Also noticed that SysProfile lists only 1MB of L2 Cache. In 10.5.2 it correctly reported 4MB.
