Mavericks kernel testing on AMD (formerly Mountain Lion kernel testing on AMD)

I've found a bug in the code signature override.

If an app with an invalid code signature is loaded it will crash the kernel after load and reboot.

Gonna fix it... only wanted kernel level cs override...

Damn ... I can't find any fix for it...

Seems to be some issue but I can't trace it.

Could somebody copy a signed app somewhere and mod the Info.plist of that app and next try to run it?

I need a picture of the crash in order to trace it...

My computer restarts before I get the chance to take one...

Andy congrats :D

Just some graphics glitches with AMD HD5450. Not as bad as ML was though. Have to use -f at boot or get KP that mentions Can't preform kext scan. 

Remove /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache from within OS X and reboot...

It will then fully rebuild the cache...

 

perfect amd Phenom 2 x6 - ati 5770
 
you are really mythical :thumbsup_anim:  :thumbsup_anim:  :thumbsup_anim:  :yoji:

confirm again AMD Phenom II X4 935 ... http://cl.ly/image/1r1m2n243X3b

test with 2 machine Athon n Phenom with different motherboard.., so the question is, is the latest anv kernel no need NullCPUM .... .kext ? cause I don't used NullCPUM for test only fakesmc ... I think is great progress .. :thumbsup_anim:

No NullCPU kext is needed as the blacklister works fine ;)

I'm going to test that kernel on amd fx series. Whick flags have i to use?

No extra flags but use Clover.

Otherwise it won't boot....

Oh cool, I understand what happened. Bronya added the missing RIP mode to my SSSE3 opemu and made some other tweaks.

So i was looking at the wrong thing for so long.... I guess this is very slow emulation though, but at least it seems to work somehow


kernel should also work with unpatched core crypto as the patch set seems to use my latest opemu with ktrap support

Had glitches on startup until I pressed the Notification center! None since so far!

 

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

AMD Radeon HD 6570 1024MB - AtiConfig=Bulrushes

Confirming :-D

regarding the graphics issues, i've been thinking about that a bit....

i think it might be an issue with the TSC, basically it's really inaccurate the way we do it now and there might be a big difference in nanoseconds. AMD supports TSC invariants since the phenom's so there should be a better way to set up the TSC

 

The only problem I have with the graphics on HD5450 is the login screen has very bad artefacts and safari but safari is fixed with the method theconnactic found for ML. Launchpad icons are pink sometimes as well.

Got it going on my Phenom X4 b50 + 5770  :):thumbsup_anim::)  Very cool !!! All smiles here...

Yes... some graphical glitching at startup screen, icons but it still looks yummy!
 
A hearty congrats to all from my part to get it to here =^)    
Very very awesome!!
 
Many thanks to you Skunk.34 also for the help, It was that pesky kernelcache. der ... merci beaucoup ami.
^(Thank you very much my friend)^

But then again, why the same kernels work without glitches with Intel hardware, even very old?

might want to remove that "no rip yet" printf by the way, it slows everything WAY down

Ok will do...

Thanks... :D

Also gonna mod the CPU brand string...

I have SMBIOS dumps of real Macs in abundance so I can figure out which are used ;)

Your card's device ID is 0x68F91002, right? Could you upload your edited kexts (AMD5000Controller and AMDRadeonX3000) for me to try? Enabling graphics here is being more difficult than I expected it to be... Thank you!

P.S.: disregard: i just found out I edited the kexts of the installer, lol! Didn't pay attention to which Finder window I was into. 

 

All the best!
