Kernel Hang - SSE2 Beta 9, JaS SSE2 Beta 9 Updater

[skeeter144]

I fixed this problem by replacing AppleACPIPlatform.kext, AppleAPIC.kext and IOACPIFamily.kext from 10.4.6.

Finder seems to constantly restart when I try and do anything though. :/

 

Hope this helps someone =]

That worked perfectly!

 

The Finder / Safari restarting only happened when I tried Beta "9" EXP2 though. The first Beta "9" seems to work just fine!

[skeeter144]

Awesome

 

I finally figured out that it was exp2 that was causing all of the crashing. exp1 works great =)

Thanks skeeter, worked like a charm! Now I just have to try replacing loginwindow.app to a previous version, as my box crashes upon running About this Mac.

updating prebindings didnt work for me.

after 3 days hard work, my Dell latitude D 800 works fine with Jas 10.4.8 beta 9 package.

1. Install 10.4.6

2. Install Jas beta 9 package

3. replace AppleACIP and AppleAPIC

4. repair permissions with rebuild kextcache

5. update prebinding

6. restart and boot with -v

After the reboot you can replace the Nvidia and Geforce kext with the original Apple 10.4.8 update kext and openGl framework.

Install Titan and repair the permissions

After reboot works nvidia fxgo5200 with QI/QE

Natit is not working in the moment

I will give this a shot. Thank you!

Works 4 me. I tried this and my kernel now boots past the ACPI area. Not sure why I didn't try it sooner.

I tried it first with my SSE3 kernel by mistake, but gets past ACPI. Trying it now with the beta9 SSE2 kernel.

Thank you for posting this. I also replaced out the IOPlatformplugin kext since there was some ACPI stuff in there too.

I am testing it now on a cloned 10.4.8 system from my SSE3 box via USB. Nice having Clonetool around for testing.

 

Now it just hangs at the loginwindow. Going to try my 10.4.6 loginwindow next. Which I think it will work because it is Intel only and is most likely SSE2. The one from 10.4.8 is universal and is probably SSE3 only. Very pleased with progress!

 

Cheers,

Just to confirm I was getting the io buffers / io hearders freeze also.

 

Used the AppleACPIPlatform.kext and AppleAPIC.kext & IOACPIFamily.kext from my working 4.6 install and got past it,then used exp5 kernel and everything is fast and working well.

That's great JaS!

 

I just got my 8.8.1 kernel system running using s5 as well. I am still having a problem with Quicktime sound but am gonna try the latest QT as see what happens! Glad to get a test partition running!

Hi goodtime

 

With Semthex latest I am able to use Northwood SSE2 and Prescott SSE3 processor by swapping it.

Since I was using SSE2 processor I encounter same problem you have encounter, no sound while playing one of the Apple ads on http://www.apple.com/getamac/

later I change the /system/library/frameworks/Accelerate.framework with the 10.4.7 Accelerate.framework

and now have sound while playing it

 

 

Let the GoodTime roll

I will give that framework a shot. The latest version of QT, 7.1.3 didn't work, I don't have a full blown 10.4.8 system yet. QT 7.1.3 SSE3 is not emulated. I was glad to get the kernel running on a test partition and see it run.

 

I'd love to put an SSE3 processor in my laptop, but don't want to take the risk yet. I will probably find an SSE3 laptop on eBay one day. For now my SSE2 box running 10.4.6 is great for runnning the Developer Tools. It's really nice having a 1050x1680 widescreen mobile OSX computer for writing code anywhere. I am squeezing in development time for my hobby projects at lunch, in the living room, on the floor. It's great.

 

I will try swapping out the Accelerate framework. Thank you!

Hi Goodtime

No need anymore with Beta 9exp6

and can run iTune 7 also

 

Good Time is rolling

iTunes 7 works great with Exp6.

 

However, I seem to be the only one who cannot authorize or deathorize my SSE2 10.4.8 Exp6 system. The same OS install on my SSE3 system using Clonetool works great and can authorize/deauthorize.

 

To my knowledge no one else has this error on SSE2. I am using my SSE3 OS with the ACPI kext's swapped out on my SSE2 machine.

 

Here is the correct error on SSE3 if you don't have your machine authorized to begin with and try to deauthorize the computer:

Here is the incorrect out of memory error on my SSE2 box:

http://art5dog.com/SSE2.png

 

iTunes 6 gives the same result on 10.4.8 Exp6. In 10.4.6 JaS. iTunes 6 deauthorized correctly.

 

I am on a SSE2 1.5G Pentium M, Compaq Presario with 1G of RAM.

 

Also on my SSE2 machine if I try to authorize the computer. I get the same out of memory error, but Apple takes the license but it does not write the decryption keys to the shared user folder. In a sense it steals one of my five slots and if I repeat it would steal all available slots and still not be authorized.

 

I am pointing this out to show that not all SSE2 systems are getting all the of SSE3 emulation and to avoid people from messing up their iTunes accounts. Something in my 10.4.8 install is still trying to execute SSE3 code. It's not iTunes but something that iTunes relies on thru the OS.

 

I know my OS is not Fubared because I can clone it to my SSE3 computer via a USB Drive, it boots and does not have this iTunes authorization problem. It behaves correctly.

 

If anyone knows which Frameworks, Kext's, bundles or system binaries that iTunes needs to communicate with configd would be most helpful in fixing this problem! I know it uses configd, but that's not the problem. It is somewhere inbetween iTunes and configd. Something that uses SSE3 outside of iTunes. A private framework maybe.

 

The systems that are behaving correctly must have the SSE2 parts of the OS that iTunes uses. It would be great to figure out which parts they are.

 

Interested in testing my SSE2 error?

Also, if anyone would like to dissect this SSE2 error, I would be happy clone a test system with the bug to a USB drive for you. You would just need to send me a USB Drive that is alteast 40 GB of total space. If you do send me a drive, be sure to backup your data as I will not be responsible for any data loss that will occur from the clone. This clone would be for testing purposes only. PM if you want test the SSE2 error on your system. You could need to have a Machine with SSE2 only (not SSE3) and an available USB 2.0 drive that you are willing to use for the test. I will send it back to you promptly after cloning and testing to see if it boots. Also make sure your system supports USB 2.0 booting. Most of them do, but I have found a few Clonetool users who say they cannot boot from USB. PM me if interested. This will be for development/testing/educational purposes only. Not for Commercial or production use.

 

Cheers,

Goodtime

Still Rolling along...
