Hi!!

 

Justin Edwards, Donk, Ham4ever and all you guys, please join #legacykernel at chat.osx86.hu (IRC), so you can talk with us real time. Otherwise, the topic will grow unreasonably large but with little useful information. In other words, a very low info to noise ratio, if we understand ourselves. :)

 

Thank you.

:help:

 

I want to remind you that theconnatic has created this site, to aim primaer to create an Mountain Lion kernel !! Although I find the success with Snow Leopard with 64-bit kernel very well but we should necessarily go back to the roots of this page! My fear is that we are talking past each other as soon as we discuss by now three systems here.

Then should follow the proposal of sinetek be done and open up more pages. :hammer:

If you like I can try and split Snow Leopard and Lion AMD discussions to separate topics, but it might take a while considering it's all mixed together. Would you like that?

I think it's very good! :king:

OK, I'll begin then...the split will happen in bits and pieces, but it will get done. ;)

 

And one thing: if anyone finds a post of theirs moved to an operating system when you were really talking about a different one, let me know and I'll move it accordingly. :)

many thanks for your effort, PookyMacMan. I hope the others agree! ;)

Below is a new kernel to test.

Implemented latest changes by Sinetek (including opemu)

Removed old style ssse3emulator.

Diff and kernel below (build with -march=k8, for AMD thus, also modded idt64.s)

@Sinetek, could you take a peak?

@Others: Please test...

 

Also used my amd_insn_patcher on dyld (for AMD dyld).

libSystem no longer contains sysenter instruction (checked).

both amd_insn_patcher and 10.8.2 dyld here ;)

Will try to boot 10.8.2 myHack USB Installer with this kernel, because I have no complete installation of ML atm. :)

Use the next build, I've made a small mistake... corrected now...

Kernel built...

New patch (test8)

Kernel also here...

Yeah it's available somewhere on this topic somewhere.

I allready patched corecrypto.kext...

 

Tested it but my launchd panics but i´m using the patched one. Have to try the other one.

But it seems we go trough the problem before.

That's great...

It launches launchd...

Maybe with original one it works maybe :D

Hmmm... seems that 64-bit processes are not spawning yet.

 

To make things worse (for me) i cannot either get VMWare fusion to work (it gives me a KP whenever i try to run it) or the GDB stub server to work with VMWare workstation 9 on Win8 with IDA pro, so i cannot debug and see where or why the processes hang. My hands are tied.

arch=x86_64

Fixes that on Lion...

Maybe try it on ML?

Now it stocks at Kernel is LP64 again. :(

 

Should i try something else?

Currently i´m using -v -f -enable_ssse3emu npci=0x2000

 

You don't need -enable_ssse3emu.

I'll try it just to be sure, but since ML is 64-bit only and i'm running on a 64-bit CPU, isn't arch=x86_64 turned on by default?
