Deadfish2000 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi, I am a new proud owner of a Hackintosh but the other day when I updated to 10.5.2 using the combo update it worked but frooze for nearly 3 mins at boot. I read around and discovered that I needed to update my kernel to fix the problem. I found the update on tpb. I installed both the vanilla and the hacked kernel..... Unfortunatley it cut my Xbench from 190 to 163. I took a look and the biggest loss is incured in the thead test in which it went from 575 to 256. Now as I have a Quad core I'm thinking that the hacked kernel may now only be using two cores for some reason. That would atleast explain the decrease. I notice a decrease in the Disk test also from 60 to 48. Cheers guys, Kalyway really rocks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschilling Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I thought you're supposed to choose only one kernel? Use activity monitor to see the core activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadfish2000 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 I thought so too, here is the description of what I installed 10.5.2 kernel vanilla and patched ! vanilla kernel is only for intel mobo and core cpu ! patched kernel from modbin is for any sse3 compatible (intel amd) dsmos.kext and system.kext is install too !

mschilling Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Either you have intel mobo and core cpu OR sse3 compatible NOT both ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant0ne Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Either you have intel mobo and core cpu OR sse3 compatible NOT both ! Absolutely correct. Choose either the vanilla kernel OR the modified kernel, NOT both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchiee (= Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Deadfish2000, would you know if you installed EFI when installing your hackintosh? if you did then use the vanilla kernel. so uninstall the hacked one. if you didnt install EFI then used teh hacked kernel, so uninstall the vanilla one. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
