Sabr Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I know it's a couple of days old, but I only just found out about the latest Netkas kernel. Apparently it fixes shutdown and reboot, so finally no more holding down the power button to turn off! (Can be found on Netkas' blog) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yeah, I have it installed and it works great. Shutdown and Restart work, and even though the kernel doesn't have sleep functionality built into it, sleep still (partially) works in ACPI S1 mode.

Sabr Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yep. I just installed it too. Working fine and dandy. Also, sleep seems to work in S3 (Suspend To RAM) for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Weird...Probably just my board Oh well, I don't use sleep anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaksauce12 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 This kernel breaks S3 on the Intel Bad Axe 2; S1 works, however. It fixes a lot of problems on the BA2 under 10.5.2, along with the Macdotnub SMBIOS-27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 ok I got this too but how do I install it , it keeps giving me directory not found anyone pls Copy over the mach_kernel file you downloaded to the Desktop. Then run these commands from Terminal (Applications/Utilities): sudo -s [enter password] cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.vanilla cp -r ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /mach_kernel Close terminal and reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrupted Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 On my P35C-DS3R, it breaks S3 sleep(black screen on wake), but fixes shutdown/reboot. S1 sleep results in the HD/CPU/RAM shutting off, but the case stays on, as well as the graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepwood Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hmm, what's the meaning of PC_EFI if we still have to use a modified kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hmm, what's the meaning of PC_EFI if we still have to use a modified kernel? You can use unmodified kernel extensions. You can also have a GUID partition table too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pion Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 hehe i got shutdown to work finally with this Acpiplatfourm.kext and using this new Netkas 9.2.0 kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepwood Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 You can use unmodified kernel extensions. You can also have a GUID partition table too. Ok, I guess it's good to have a second partition where you can try new updates. If it stops working you just boot with the other and fix the broken one from there.

Wayfarer247 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 2 things: 1: When installing, do you extract the Mach_kernel from the .zip file before doing the steps ~pcwiz stated? 2: How can you tell what kernel you have? I upgraded to 10.5.2, and I upgraded my Kernel, so I assume I have 9.20, but I think it would be useful if I knew a way to double check. Thank you!

~pcwiz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Dax, Same thing here on a DS3P. Wayfarer, Yes you extract the file before doing the Terminal stuff You can check by running this command on terminal: uname -a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! 1 when you dl the kernel, it is uncompressed automatically ( check your garbage, there is the .zip, and in the downloads folder is the mach_kernel 2 : in the teminal, quote uname -a and you should see wich kernel version U have .

justvisiting Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 This kernel breaks S3 on the Intel Bad Axe 2; S1 works, however. It fixes a lot of problems on the BA2 under 10.5.2, along with the Macdotnub SMBIOS-27. what problems are you experiencing with BA2, vanilla kernel, and 10.5.2? thanks.
