roujinz Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hello Everyone... I recently installed Leopard 10.5.6 on my system using iPC/OSx86 Distro v.PPF5 and updated to 10.5.8 using iDeneb's upgrade patch. After doing so I can only boot by typing in voodoo at the start up options, otherwise it stops loading with a message that says: Loading HFS+ file: [mach_kernel] from 4234670 Loading HFS+ file: [mach_kernel] from 4234670 So my questions are: 1. How can I set the voodoo kernel as my default so I don't have to type it in each time I startup my system? 2. Is there a better way of booting so that I get the maximum performance and compatibility out of my system? 3. How can I tell how many CPU threads I am running? Here are my specs: Shuttle X27D Intel Atom 330 Dual Core Intel 945GC + ICH7 Intel GMA950 Onboard Video Realtek ALC662 Audio Realtek RTL8111C Gigabit LAN Mobo: FMXXG2 (FM27D) - supports EM64T, EDB 2GB RAM 500GB SATA HDD I also noticed that SLEEP is not working and I only have 1024x768 resolution, but I will tackle those issues after I resolve this issue. I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I wasn't able to get a search result when I looked for an answer. Thanks in advance for your help! Please explain all steps clearly as I am still a NOOB! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203978-voodoo-kernel-required-to-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwinn555 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 In order to use the Voodoo kernel as default. It needs to be named mach_kernel and any other kernels need to be removed or renamed as only one can have that name. If you can't see the kernels you may need an app to make them visible there are several. I use one called "Show hide files" Best of luck.
