Ezhoon Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 This is really confusing Obviously, some ppl including JaS himself needed the mysterious "decrypts" to get into GUI and all, while others just succeeded without using these "decrypts". And..please..someone explain or at least a hint on this "10.4.8 decrypts" Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velayo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The one thing I'm missing is that Jas mentioned that he had used mifki/vitaly's kernel with no/nx. That's the only thing keeping me from booting my 10.4.8. Jas or anyone who knows how do he patch the kernel for no/nx cpus? (could we use Maxxuss original ppf patch for no/nx?

JaS Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ok let me say how I personally feel about this whole thing. I am no longer using decrypted binaries.Also I have moved my focus over to using semthex's kernel now as it seems to be more in the spirit of what I think osx86 is all about. All of the ppl this community knows and is used to seeing, are all working hard to bring this kernel amd and sse2 support. mikfi's kernel works great for me personally and I think it is stable and fast.but since he is not developing it any more for other hardware semthex's kernel dev is where I need to be osx86 on as many pcs as possable FTW. with that said,I can see how adding mikfi's kernel into the installer would be great for users that only need those patches. As all of you already know,when I make my install dvd , it is all about you guys.So if you want to have the kernel choice.I'll give it to you for sure.

bliss Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 i did a xbench with the new kernel and have now a score of 104, 115 before. how can this be? xbench is hanging a time on the ram test... ill install 10.4.7 on another partition and report both results tonight.

jbond Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thank you guys for making life worthwhile. I have updated a test machine which had 10.4.8 JAS on it. I downloaded the combo update from apple. installed, then replaced with 10.4.8 kernel and SMBios.kext. It boots up fine without complaints. I notice that it does not load r*d*.kext and launching msoffice crashes the system. About this mac forces a window server reload. xbench scores are a bit lower than what they were before. I thought rosetta was working and much faster on 10.4.8 System specs Asus P5WD2 Premium Pentium D 840 2 GB DDR2-800 ram HIS x1600xt dual dvi 250 GB SATA II NCQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcielago585 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 third it, cause i'm not bothering to try this new kernel without Jas' dvd. Jas you make the process of installing osx on our white boxes a walk in the park. Since you were helping semthex with the development of his kernel, do you guys think you might take a look at EFI and get our graphics cards up and running, or is mb and cpu work the extent of it? EDIT: I guess EFI would be part of the mb modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habib Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 JaS, is it possible to release a combo update 10.4.8 with all new modifications, including mifki's kernel, kernel for AMD SSE3, AMD SSE2 and other stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwannadl Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes, let's donte to JaS. I wonder if Core 2 Duo can full function in the new 10.4.8? Currently I have to disable one core in BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macmaniac Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Got it working. I cloned my working 10.4.8 JaS onto a spare partition using Carbon Copy Cloner. I applied the Apple 10.4.8 (Intel) Combo update. I copied over the Vitaliy kernel (to see the old one to remove, use TinkerTool), and copied over the SMBIOS kext. I verified the disk using Disk Utility to see that all was good. Finally I repaired permissions. Rebooted into 8.8.1 goodness. Xbench was slower.......

fingerr Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi there, I still have problems running GUI mode , but if I boot with -s i cen get into the console and next I run 'sh /etc/rc' and a lot of things happen on my screen ending with repeating 'crashdump coreserviced crashed...'. So I type 'killall -9 crashreporterd' and 'killall -9 grashdump' , so the messages stops repeating and I have access to shell and can run sshd and other stuff. After killing mentioned tasks blue screen is appering (I can move mouse), but after few seconds it dies and I fallback to console. Maybe you can suggest me what I can check or try to run to get login window screen? Thanks in advance and kind regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodrigocunha Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I installed the apple combo updade, copied vitality and smbios BUT... Now i can´t complete the boot process, it´s say "STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE" It never happened before with my specs Specs: Processor -> PENTIUM 4 - 630j (PAE, SS3, NX/XD) Mainboard -> INTEL D915GAGL (HPET?) Everything worked before this update... sound, ci/cg, network, dvd. What´s happening? Did apple dropped the support for the first x86 ADP? (Which was my spec "inspiration") I tried rs=disk0s4 -x -s -v -f .... nothing works EDIT: I installed over 10.4.5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
