Dxn Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I can't get RC to boot outside of safe mode. It hangs right before "Jettisoning kernel linker." would be printed. In safe mode, it boots fine. I will do a more thorough evaluation when I get home tonight deja_dejas_macpro31.local.tar.bz2.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138420-voodoo-xnu-kernel-release-candidate-released/page/2/#findComment-979764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Haibara Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Guys, this works GREAT on AMD! I've just managed to install a fresh system using boot-132 + slimbuild + Voodoo Kernel with retail Leopard DVD. This also solved my timing problems that caused old AMD kernels to crash randomly at boot. As soon as I have enough time I'll try 64 bit mode. You can't imagine my happiness Best kernel I've ever seen. Well done.

simpi Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Me too, I can report a successful installation of the RC1 kernel with vanilla 1055 on an EFI booted P4 3.4 Ghz CPU with an Intel d945PAW board with gf8500GT. Tested ok with sleep, reboot. Untill now, 3 hours, all programms function fine. FCP, iDreamx, Safari, Camino and VLC. I'd say its rock steady overhere. Thanks alot !!!! Simpi.

dvavd Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi, my Turion processor becomes hot as if it was under heavy load. Fan works loud all the time. Still Activity Monitor shows CPU's idle about 95% of time. This issue appeared with beta2 of the kernel and remains with RC.

mitch_de Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 works badly for me... bt don't pair with my bt mouse, and i've a kp every 5 minutes... so, i come back to beta 2c... I think you and me, Intel C2D or Pentium E2XXX Users may stay with vanilla (orig. Apple kernel). Why should we use voodoo of 99% of the benefist is not for our CPU-Types ? Why do you use beta 2 for normal work, insted of vanilla ? I also tested beta2c, but went back to vanilla. Its great work and maybe sometimes (10.6) also very good for us too !

mercurysquad Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 mercurysquad@ You still have your old Avatar ? Yes, why? It was the orion nebula btw. Hi, my Turion processor becomes hot as if it was under heavy load. Fan works loud all the time. Still Activity Monitor shows CPU's idle about 95% of time. This issue appeared with beta2 of the kernel and remains with RC. Try booting with c1ramp=0 (or c1ramping=0 .. I can't remember). Why should we use voodoo of 99% of the benefist is not for our CPU-Types ? Correct. Those who can run vanilla and are satisfied with it really don't have a benefit running voodoo. IF you have problems with vanilla which voodoo solves, then you have a reason to use it. Voodoo is mainly for processors that Apple doesn't support.

mitch_de Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 you should not have that kext installed anyway , it might fry your cpu. Thats not correct for all systems! Since dsdt patches (chameleon with dsdt support) you can use it if you want. It does the same at merury Speedstep or superhais speedstep (i would use the 1.0.20 stable, the new 1.1 is not ready). I would use one of that speedsteps because you have influence of settings (both in their .plists) Both work also with orig. vanialla kernel.

mercurysquad Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 damn.. what should i choose speed (RC 64bit)? or stability (32bit)? Has anyone run Geekbench on a freshly booted AMD system in both 64bit and 32bit mode and compared how much of a difference it makes? Either that, or some other simpler benchmark, perhaps encoding an mp3 or something.
