jonnassen Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 You amaze me, Sem! I don´t understand a bit about how to get this thing tested on my insallation but I´m at least waiting patiently and enjoying the development. Hope to see some manuals showing up in the upcoming hours from the rest of you guys A donation will be sent as soon as my account shows a positive number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semthex Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 For Pentium M SSE2 we have a lucky winner already running GUI with new kernel, the first prize goes to nixblicker! http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=35141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 B9 works fine with SSE3, maybe later I'll try with my AMD 64 3500+ SSE2 proc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellmonkeys Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Any chance this will make it to the pink palace or green demon? Uhhh, no need, why not just go on IRC and download the Beta? It's easily available for anyone that gets on the IRC server... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubugugu Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have this extra 10GB fat32 partition my windows harddrive, and i wanted to try the new 8.8.1 kernel on it, so i tried to format the fat32 to a journaled HFS on osx86 disk utility, and it messed up the whole hdd! So i basically spent the whole morning re-installing windows... what an idiot i am. so my question is, is it possible to test the new kernel on an existing osx86? I'm thinking of: 10.4.7 Jas + Intel combo update 10.4.8 (SSE2) + bkup extensions + new semthex beta9 kernel will this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in terminal, type sudo -s [Password] chown root:wheel /mach_kernel.sse2 chmod 644 /mach_kernel.sse2 Reboot, press F8 and then type "mach_kernel.sse2" (without "") to try the new kernel. If not work, just reboot. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathalos Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 bubugugu, i tried it out already..... it does not work... you will end up with lots of yellow lines with regards to IOStorage kext not able to load..... you need 10.4.8 kext TOGETHER with the 10.4.8 sse2 combo.....

bubugugu Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 bubugugu, i tried it out already..... it does not work... you will end up with lots of yellow lines with regards to IOStorage kext not able to load..... you need 10.4.8 kext TOGETHER with the 10.4.8 sse2 combo..... thanks for letting me know, so will it work if the following is installed in order? 1. 10.4.7 Jas DVD 2. copy new kernel as "mach_kernel.sse2" 3. 10.4.8 official combo update (to get the new kexts?) 4. 10.4.8 SSE2 Intel combo update (to get decrypts?) 5. boot with "mach_kernel.sse2" in F8 boot screen. P.S. downloading SSE2 combo update as I type this =) EDIT: I found this guide that will help people with a similar situation as I do http://paulicat.freeflux.net/blog/archive/...rade-guide.html UPDATE: Followed the guide, stuck at "diskarb not ready" at first boot. Figuring a workaround now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminmc Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 The scriptv3.command script still loads Beta 8.... Which works perfectly on my computer, so I am not complaining. I installed with the 10.4.8 rerelease, and most of my Kext's had dependency problems, so I installed Apples 10.4.8 combo update. ran the script and replaced the AppleSMBIOS.kext, and now I have no dependencies errors.

skredii Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I hope to hear some more success storys this evening I'm tryin' to run the beta9 in vmware on my SSE2 machine I got at work. My dev machine, lol. Now I get the 'still waiting for root device' error. I tried booting with -f flag and also with rd=disk0s1. Nothing helps... Does it work for you in vmware semthex? P.S.: The disk I'm tryin to boot from VMWare is a USB disk. P.S. 2 : This should be workin by the end of the year, as we'll get brand new PC's next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideTheCliche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Question... If I have a perfectly working 10.4.8 + Semthex Beta 9 Kernel installed on my Intel SSE3 Desktop PC and I Ghost it to my AMD SSE2 Laptop, would I expect it to work or are more mods for the AMD needed? Thanks! ~RTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
