new kernel releases! (OSx86 NOT AppleTV)

[semthex]

Because a proper announcment on insanelymac is impossible, cause certain people seemnot to be able to get along with the developer split of:

Today I will start with some new 64Bit fixed sse3 kernels. Also the issue with sleep will be adressed. If Paulicat joins me this week I will add his speedstep patch in as well we will have a upcoming kernel for sse2 and speedstep!

You can get the new kernel builds at

irc.osx86.hu
in the #kernel channel

as usale.

Thanks!

Thanks for information and of course, the kernels.

This is something that needs to be addressed, I want to talk to Swad about this at some point, but obviously now is not the appropriate time.

Semthex thanks for all the great work. I updated my kernel last night to beta8 i think and it fixed all the little issues I was having. Keep up the great work!! Much thanks.

[elRey]

good news
and thanx for the hard work

[coolbits]

Very good news :)
nice work... thanks

Semthex: what exactly is the problem preventing an announcement at InsanelyMac ?

[CycloneFr]

semthex u r just unbelivable ! i just hope u can give me a hand on the AGPGART project to get full AGP support on intel mobo :)!! join it here

Because it now became common practice even to fake my postings there. Power abuse in extrem.

[mrbig]

thank for the news!

What do you mean by fake :confused:
Hmm...my quote was censored too.

Btw: "clear" still crashes(bus error) with 1.5 and 1.6

Hmm... apparently I am not the only one who is concerned about these types of problems at InsanelyMac.

New world order!

Keep up the good work!

I just put a new build. Now it contains the HPET selector patches daemonES made and send me today (thanks for this!). I puzzled them into my code the last few hours, the product is now nd-2_1.

Great, I am looking forward to testing your new kernel for stability.

I will posting some detailed test results here later.

[semthex]

I am going to make some updates for this evening again. So hoope to see my usale suspects around ;)

Great, I am very serious about doing some rigorous, compartive kernel stability testing here. But I will be waiting for you to complete your current development effort (there is no hurry either). I am also open to writing software to test kernel stability, so if anyone here has suggestions (or software) for ways to test kernel stability, I would like to here them.

Also, I only have BadAxe1/2 - Xeon 3060 hardware to test on now, so others with SSE2 and AMD systems (or other Intel chips) may wish to also participate for a comparision across platforms.

One more thing...

Lol nice one ;) I will be afraid if either Kevin Spacy or Stephen Baldwin show up on IRC lol.

Anyways if it comes to OSx security there are at minimum 2 security vulnerabilities I am aware of, still need to send a mail about them to Apple I think, so they can hopefulyl be fixed with 10.4.9 still :confused:

You know how to officially report bugs to Apple, right?: http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/

Apple is more likey to fix the security vulnerabilities if you clearly present them in well written English (I can help you with this if you want).

[nevin]

Thank you for the new kernel!! :-)

Hopefully it can address the sleep issue. Then the only issue left is making my darn cardbus works....heheh...

[nevin]

opss...duplicated post. Sorry

[skn]

Thanks Semthex!
Just a question... What's the difference between the nd-2_1 and nd-2_3 kernels?

[razy]

yeah semthex whats the difference? we want to know :)

[BugsBunny]

[EDIT] ever since mach_kernel nd 21 (March 10, 2007) Semthex has included HPET autodetection (provided by DaemonES)

[bwhsh8r]

@ semthex, sad to hear

and so your saying this kernal has 64bit support (for 64bit processors of course) right?

[aberracus]

Semthex, are you saying Swad is faking your posts?

i know he is a dictator, but really couldnt believe it was so bold to do that...


BTW the healthly spirit of cooperationg in these forums are a good change from InsanelyMac...

[MacVista]

Hope to have combo installation soon...

[semthex]

Going for speedstep SSE2 this weekend :)

[rparker]

Hey Everyone, quick question for Semthex. Can we still update our kernel using Prasys's easy update script or should we update using IRC?

[semthex]

I donm't know on status of the updater script :(

Hey Everyone, quick question for Semthex. Can we still update our kernel using Prasys's easy update script or should we update using IRC?
Hello,

If you read the Praxsys's script, you should get the URL of the kernel archive (latest.zip).
In my case, the kernel binary was built at Nov 27 2006 so the script is outdated.

Going for speedstep SSE2 this weekend :)

I am deadly waiting for this... thanks...!!!!!!
>.< hope that we can build another great forum to replace the insanlymac.

[shur]

hello ,I want to know where can I found an How To because I have the nd-2-3 and I don't know how can i install it . is it the lastest kernel??
thancks

[syldaril]

I can't wait for the SSE2 version of the new kernel to come out either. Many thanks for your great work Semthex!!!!

Syldaril.

[semthex]

SSE2 for 1049 is available, speedstep 48 is comming very soon :)

Watch out on IRC! irc.hackint0sh.org
