drbee Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I finally managed how to make native kernel work on my system!! I have a core 2 duo e4400 and a asrock conroe1333-d667 (intel chipset. My mistake was that I kept trying to boot native kernel over patched kexts. The system kept reebooting.. Instead I replaced all my Extensions folder using Pacifist and orginal leo install dvd overwritiing my kexts with the original ones. I then just installed AppleSMBIOS.kext and dsmos.kext from the EFI package and boom!!! It works perfectly and amazingly well. System profiler still shows core solo instead of duo so if anyone has a fix for that let me know. I hope my experience will help someone....

hackcat Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well glad you got it to finally work, this is certainly something that ToH installers need be aware of when using pc_efi and reverting to stock Apple mach_kernel. That and adding dsmos.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbee Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 yes odd. maybe got a wrong version i'll try to reinstall it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackcat Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Maybe less radical stuff to do before nuking the extensions folder and replacing it with pacifist from retail dvd or GM dmg is to delete the following: /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches /System/Library/Extensions.mkext Also F8 at boot and using -v -f as boot options, be a first step before radical surgery. Other users report that Apple stock kernel can work with any combination of patched and stock kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbee Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 ok i fixed it. It was something on the bios settings.. I disabled Enhance Halt State Max ,CPUIDValue Limit and CPUThermal Throttling .. I also noticed that if i don't enable No-Excute Memory Protection the reboot issue comes back... Anyway.. now profiler shows core 2 duo correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as a read your post I tried that with an external USB Drive 2.5", formatted with APM, I've a partition there with MacOS X 10.4.10 that I use to fix the Apple Intel CPU. So, as you did, installed AppleSMBIOS.kext and dsmos.kext. Rebooted, pressed F8, typed rd=disk3s9 and VOILÁ, thank you for posting this, THANKS: NETKAS, DEF, TURBO, TOH. Well, I presume... it's just the begining..., great things are coming from this marvelous team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
