apowerr Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Today Apple released a new Time Machine and Airport update: What's New in this Version- This update is recommended for all users and includes compatibility improvements for using Time Machine with Time Capsule, as well as AirPort driver fixes. A quick look at the update through pacifist reveals that it installs a new mach_kernel and system.kext, which will break most OSx86 installs. This update of course works fine on legit Macs and should be alright for people with near vanilla installs. If you wish to install this update, be sure to back up mach_kernel and system.kext. It's best to replace the kernel and system.kext prior to rebooting, but if you forget you can always do it after through -s or another OS. AMD users should patch cpuid's with marvin's utility post-installation. Edit: Actually it looks like even that may not fix things. If you're using a hacked kernel take caution and be sure to read other people's experiences. In other OSX86 news, Netkas.org has released a new AppleSMBIOS.kext. Some users reported me coreplayer doesn't work on hacks after investigating it a bit, I found it comes from smbios exactly - the way how IOPlatformSerialNumber is set. now it's fixed, u can grab kext here - http://tinyurl.com/264tgm this also makes second life to work on hacks. ahh…. u all will have same serial number with this kext (as with old one tho) funny thing - some apps uses this values as user number. This new kext fixes a bug that some applications including the game 'Second Life' would encounter.

Paranoid Marvin Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The update works fine on my Vanilla and EFI'd Hackintosh, but I can comfirm it has updated my kernel version to 9.2.2.

Mebster Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I love the way you've put an OSx86 twist to a news story, in which that aspect could easily have been overlooked. It's not pure OSx86 new but it's a nice and interesting start.

cyclonefr Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 AFAIK the news is wrong on one point : even putting old kernel won't bring back your hack to life. It replaces other files that are kernel dependent.

It replaces other files that are kernel dependent. Indeed, you're right. I posted that before replacing those two files and my hack. After replacing them, It's still not working however Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94588-new-time-machine-and-airport-updates-not-safe-for-most-hack-users/#findComment-674223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

agrafuese Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 @AMD users: Have you run Marvin's utility after the update? There seem to be some reports of success after patching over in Zeph's forums: http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=799 Haven't tried the update myself just yet, as I am dealing with some other problems right now. EDIT: Damn, erei33 I just saw your post over in Zeph's forums. I wonder why you can't get it to work but others are fine?

DavidJavid Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Whoo, OSx86 news! Gonna try this on my new C2D rig. I'm really not gonna miss struggling to do anything with my AMD. I'm pretty sure i can use a vanilla kernel, so let the updating begin. Great news post... keep it up so I (and hopefully more) will read the front page more often.

qbattersby Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Nervous about doing this update with it breaking some peoples machines. I am using Vanilla kernel and EFI v5.2 (I believe, an older one) and I have updated to 10.5.2 with Kalaway's update. Any insight from anyone whether or not I should do it. This is my only machine besides an old iBook 900mhz, don't want to have to fix it.Took the plunge, did the update, working fine. Installing Netkas new SMBIOS now.
