meteo Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hi folks, Now, I have a good working mac os X running on my X58 MSI + Core i7 + 4870GS. However, I have still a problem with the famous seatbelt. And I'm not really sure what is the version of my kernel. Can you help me with this please ? - My system loads a kernel named Darwin 9.7 "based on Voodoo". Is it a real "voodoo" kernel, or something else ? Most of time, the dumps of "uname -a" I see on the internet say "Voodoo", not "based on voodoo". - Does a good technical documentation exist about the boot process and the technical part of mac os x ? In fact, something that would correspond to a detailed guide of runlevels, init etc...for linux. - I'd like to get a good documentation, because I don't understand how my kernel chooses its seatbelt. I looked in /System/Library/Extensions, and I have no seatbealt.kext, but seatbelt970.kelt and seatbelt950.kext. When I boot my system, the kernel is a 9.7 and due to my kernel panics, I would say that it loads the seatbelt950.kext*. I copied the seatlbelt970.kext as seatbelt.kext, but no change at all. Thant you very much meteo * the version.plist of the seatbelt950 says 199.xx and when I get the kernel panic, it says seatbelt(199.xx where as my seatbelt970's version.plist says 107.12 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/177933-a-few-technical-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteo Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 no one for a technical guide or reference about mac os x ? I searched the forum, but I didn't find a lot of thing. It's a gold mine for a specific problem, but no general technical reference guide.
