Safari Debug menu command has changed:

 

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu -bool true


I'm using the older kernel (before the CPU name changes)

Chameleon 2266 (installed with Chameleon Wizard) and I have no problems with KernelCache=Yes?
 

My org.chameleon.Boot.plist

 





AtiConfig
Bulrushes
EthernetBuiltIn
Yes
GraphicsEnabler
Yes
Kernel
amd_kernel
Kernel Flags
npci=0x2000
SMBIOS
/Extra/SMBios.plist
Timeout
5
UseKernelCache
Yes

 

 

Booting with no flags at the bootloader and none saved in the NVRAM

ok this is Funny and Interesting at once, i managed to reduce 90% my Artifacts by using the tool from Andy to strip the code signature on the AMDRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle, now no artifacts on Login Screen, or in Finder, only Google Chrome is still giving them big time

For Chrome open Preferences and show advanced preferences. Scroll down and untick Use hardware acceleration when available

 

Edit: Patching AMDRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle didn't work for me with Finder.

playing game "tiny troopers" graphics quality: medium ... both clover & chim**a ...can't see the war zone  :Dhttp://cl.ly/image/3p2m0p1B3L3Z

gonna check here

 

 

Same here, a view in the package reveals it actually a windows game since it contains .dll files, so this might be the issue, wine emulated games dont work right for me either

What if we Delete the Nvidia Kext and add the ID to AMD Kext?

I think that it's not gonna work. My guess is that the binaries of a ATI card cannot control a nVidia card, maybe you need to change the fake info on the nVidia kext to fool OS X it's a ATI...

The problem is that it won't work...

The NVidia channel exception shows that the NVidia OpenGL driver doesn't play nice :(

@andy

is the blicklisted appleefiruntime.kext affect on clover bootlaoder ?

Yes, that certainly is possible.

Nvram lies on top of that...

I'll make a version without that kext blacklisted when I can...

In the tree you see AppleEFIRuntime with below that AppleEFINVRAM.

Hi ! I from work in home !

Yes i can :) . My kernel without blacklist for AppleEFIRuntime .



Andy, your latest kernel :( - because :

1) panic at "rtclock_init" - i deleted  it in disassembler . and working ...

2) programm iphoto '08 -  i open it is program and after more seconds - system stops .

With my kernel RC3 stable working program iphoto '08 ...
Ok i need create  kernel rc4 for old cpu amd .

I've revised the kernel some more.

Thanks for the tip Bronzovka, it seems it was assertion related (assert which translates into Assert function).

This made me thinking...

It can be that some things panic due to some assertion (code signature for example).

I've disabled some panics...

I also added rtc_clock_stepping and rtc_clock_stepped algorithms (for use in some PM kexts).

To everybody, please test this kernel and let me know if it still panics at things like iPhoto '08 or Preview...

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also disabled restart on panic... thought that would be useful...
