I just downloaded the latest Voodoo Kernel RC1 9.5.0 from their website (http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/) and re-compressed it as a ZIP. Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/218278593/Voodoo.zip Follow the directions included explicitly. You may also want to make a backup of your current kernel. You can do so by opening Terminal and typing:

cp -R /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.backup

Now if you have problems you can use the boot-flag -v mach_kernel.backup to boot your old kernel

 

If you have problems let me know I can walk you through manually installing it from the command line.

yessss!!!

 

far easier.

backup all your stuff

 

pop in the dvd

new install with iPC

choose the voodoo kernel (first one) 9.5

(choose the seatbelt.kext if you have problems opening *.dmg)

 

this worked perfectly.

 

i tried it with the new kernel from you

at first i need the efi

installing went fine

but after updating the kernel it just showd the apple

and did not go any further! even after several minutes...

so i had to re-install, now everything fine.
