Spydey Ninja Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 VooDoo Kernel for AMD MultiCore - WORKS!!! Hey, have any of you tried the VooDoo Kernel 9.5.0? I think that it just came out today. I just tried it and it solved a few things. First off, if I understand it correctly, it allows AMD based osx86 installs to get updates straight from Apple for OS X. For me it also fixed my multi-core issue. I could only get one core to work. NOW I HAVE FOUR!!!!! YAY!!!! I still have an issue with getting stuck at the blue screen that comes up right before the GUI login. In the voodoo kernel install pdf it says that it has something to do with encrypted things not being decrypted???? Anyway, I still have to boot into safe mode to get anywhere (at darwin type -x) But at least I have four cores now!!! I am just wondering first off, what is this decryption thing, how can I fix it so I don't have to use safe mode? Also, would it be possible to somehow include this voodoo kernel on a boot-132, EFI boot, or chameleon boot so that we could boot a retail DVD of Leo. I realize that the retail version of Leo is the vanilla kernel, but who knows, maybe there is someway to do it, right. That is what trial and error is for!! P.S. My specs are these: AMD Phenom 9950 oc'ed 3.2Ghz AMD chipset 790FX/SB750 4 Gigs DDR2 1066 ATI 3870 ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe I didn't have to install any chipset kext (yet). I just got it up and running so we will see how long it works.....BUT I AM EXCITED!!!! :D :D :D :D A Thousands thanks to the dev team that worked on the VooDoo kernel, they have my utmost respect and appreciation!!
