diablo9 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 somewhere I read that only Conroe series CPU can use vanilla kernel in Kalyway (in customization, choose both options on the first item). I saw a few posts in HCL thread mentioned they used Pentium E2140 CPU. Can someone confirm if I should choose these 2 options? thank you so much!

superstition Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have installed Kalyway 10.5.1 successfully with this processor. I typed vanilla when I booted the installation disc and chose the Vanilla kernel from the GUI installer menu. Here is my topic: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=80048 The About This Mac sees the chip correctly as a 1.6 GHz Core Duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo9 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi, superstition, thanks a lot! Is it required to type vanilla when boot from installation disc to actually use vanilla kernel? or just choose vanilla kernel from GUI is OK? coz I didn't type vanilla when booting from disc. Now the installation on this old PC is done. Am I using vanilla kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstition Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I don't know if it's necessary or not. I actually have been typing vanilla for every boot, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo9 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 anyone knows if there is certain way in OSX to tell which kernel you are currently using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check the kernel version using "uname -a" in terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
