Brandon H Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi everyone, I have what should be an easy question to answer. I want to upgrade to the Voodoo 9.6.0 from 9.5.0 to fix my clock issues and I was wondering what kind of problems I may run into? Obviously I will need to change the System.kext and the Seatbelt.kext but are there any other things that might get screwy after the upgrade?

Beerkex'd Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If you're going to use the AnV version, your hackintosh might turn into a MacBook Pro if you don't read the docs/release thread first and take appropriate steps to prevent it. His kernel requires a mac model flag in com.apple.boot.plist and if it's not set, congratulations, you now have a Mac Book Pro. Also, if you don't like to see references to /Users/Andy in your system logs, there's also a non-AnV version floating around, I don't know where you can find it but it's out there. Other than that there shouldn't be any problems. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/172086-upgrading-kernels/#findComment-1184592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 The one I have is mach-kernel.voodoo.alpha3. Do you know anything about this one? I didn't really understand the whole macbook pro deal. Is that a bad thing?

Beerkex'd Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 That's the new official Voodoo Kernel alpha. It doesn't turn your hackintosh into a laptop. You can read more here: http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/ As long as you have an Intel CPU you should be fine - it doesn't work on AMDs yet. About the AnV kernel: My hackintosh is a desktop PC. I would hate to see it ID'd as a MacBook Pro and have to deal with battery icons and laptop powermanagement settings and whatever other changes it would inflict on the OS. While it's true that there are no existing mac models that match my PC I still prefer to have it ID'd as a desktop mac like an iMac or a MacPro.

Brandon H Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Okay, I see what you meant now. I have both a laptop hackintosh and a desktop hackintosh now so I'm used to seeing Macbook Pro from my laptop and I wasn't thinking desktop. Thanks for the info on the kernel.

Beerkex'd Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 No problem. FYI the Voodoo kernel alpha is 9.7.0, not 9.6.0. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/172086-upgrading-kernels/#findComment-1185412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
