And you which kernel use ?

 

hum... if your signature is correct you are using Voodoo 9.5 with 10.5.7.. that can be the problem.. not sure.

Use the new Voodoo 2 alpha3 (9.7).. it's working fine for Intel. xnu-dev - Google Code

Did you checked the name of the kernel, like i suggested?

I use Voodoo 2 on 10.5.7 but, i already moved on to Snow Leopard ;)

Hello Azimutz, thanks for the answers.

I tried the kernel Voodoo 2, but give me a kernel panic with the error code 0x0000003.

With the 9.5.0 kernel Voodooo, however, gives me kernel panic with the error code 0x0000000.

You can help me?

Sorry for some mistakes, I too hate the translators! :)

SIIIIIIIIII, funziona perfettamente !!!!!

Avevo la soluzione sotto al naso e menomale che mi hai fatto capire cosa fare !!

Grazie daveta !! Thanks Azimutz !!

hey.. glad to help :) this one got me crazy at the time too. yeah.. it's right under the nose.

Do not forget the real name of OS X kernel is "mach_kernel"! We only rename it for updates or testing.

And check your com.apple.Boot.plist.. if you used Voodoo installer in the past, it sets the kernel to mach_kernel.voodoo.

If you want to be safe, do it like this:

- assuming you have voodoo kernel installed as mach_kernel, right click on it and make a duplicate.

- rename the duplicate to mach_kernel.voodoo. It will be used as a backup.

- if you ever need to use the backup kernel, just type at the boot prompt: mach_kernel.voodoo

- if you are really paranoid :) and want to always use the backup kernel, change in com.apple.Boot.plist:

	<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>

to

	<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel.voodoo</string>

but, don't forget to keep the same kernel as mach_kernel for cases like VMWare. It's not the only one, you know!?

If you keep just a renamed kernel on the system, you will have problems with Apple updates.. Software update says that system is up to date and downloaded installers say they can not install to the system.

 

And always install the kernel manually!! Just copy the kernel to root and fix permissions like this on Terminal:

sudo chown 0:0 /mach_kernel.voodoo
sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel.voodoo

Disk Utility does not fix permissions on renamed kernels.

Feel free to pm me :P

See ya guys...
