Did you use the paulicat method (restore mach_kernel, System.kext etc) or did you just apply it and reboot?

 

And as a side, a reinstall shouldn't be necessary. Boot from the CD, open terminal and get a semthex or netkas kernel restored.. beyond that you may need to restore a few kexts but I highly doubt a reload is necessary.

This is one of the threads that prove you can't go halfway. You must get a Mac that is 100% Mac to achieve the full Mac experience.

 

 

That's a very bold statement for someone who joined the forum a week ago.

 

Anyway, you are only partly correct here. You can get a "full Mac experience" if you work at it and you only install what you know will work. If you wait until others have tried the update (and/or fixed it) you will almost always be fine. A real mac would have little more to offer, other than, updates and drivers would be much easier to get working. (MUCH easier)

Hence the "it just works" part of Mac.

I just used my before and after scripts I created that backup mach_kernel and the extensions folder. Then I ran the update from Apple. Ran my script that replaces the mach_kernel with my old one, moves the new extensions folder to extensions_disabled and my backup back to extensions. repair disk permissions, reboot and all is well. 10.4.10 running smooth with everything except the new extensions folder... which I will test out on my machine as I get the chance.

FuturDreamz you're correct. I don't think anyone here disagrees w/ you that "Macs just work". Just keep in mind you're in the Hackintosh forums. The prefix "Hack" admitedly implies extra work, sometimes a lot of extra work..

So, if I'm gonna see what I can do with kernels while I'm at it, what kernel do I use? There's 2 channels with different 10.4.9/8.9.1 versions available on the osx86 IRC server, #1049 and #kernel. Ideally a hacked 8.9.4 (or whatever 10.4.10 comes with) would be nice, but I'm happy to have whatever works. The timestamps on the files get reset to localtime when I download them, so I'm not sure which one is the "best"/most recent.

My G4 reports 8.10.0.. girlfriend has the MBP so can't check intel but would assume the same version number.

 

I wouldn't expect an 8.10.0 in the hackintosh community right away although I wouldn't put anything past those dudes over at hackint0sh

 

Prescott, Duo, Core 2 and Quad core should go "64-bit fixed, SSE3 only w/ sleep support"

I have no updated yet the UX, but my MBP report that:

 

Versione sistema: Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R2218)

Versione kernel:
Darwin 8.10.1

 

That's wierd. My Mac Mini is still showing Darwin 8.9.1.

 

Kernel updates must only be for newer hardware maybe?

Do NOT install this update quite yet. I installed it on my Uphuck 1.3 DVD Install (SSE3, 64bit kernel) and it just endlessly reboots...

 

Don't go crazy yet :thumbsup_anim:

 

Use your install disc and re-install only the kernel that you used before. If you didn't save your kext files, you may have other problems though.
