Kernel works fine on intel ( Pentium D )

I think its best to wait till Snow Leopard is officially released, after that there will be more kernels/kexts/bootloaders...

Do you know if Dmitrik's kernel supports on the fly patching?

About binpatched kernel and source modded kernel:

on the fly patcher requires a kernel source from apple and a huge workaround. Since apple did not release 10.6 kernel sources yet, the only way to make the kernel work on amd is to modify it with a hexeditor. eg take the original kernel and patch it. A binpatched kernel will never support the "on the fly cpuid patcher". It´s not possible!

I'm glad to see you here. Really. :-)

And thanks for explanation.

This may be stupid question, but is there a way to make 10.0.0 kernel from 9.8.0 source?

Patch 9.8 kernel for SL instead of patching 10.0 kernel for AMD?

SL is almost useless on AMD without on-the-ﬂy opcode patching. SSE3 emulation and 64-bit support on AMD are also important parts of Voodoo kernel.

@maya77, just give it some days/weeks

Once the sources are out im sure someone will make a new kernel with opcode patching

hey, so i've installed 10a432 on my friends hackintosh gigabyte p45udl. he has a 9600gt with 1024mb of ram. we got the bootup, sata, sound and networking working but can't get the video working.
i've tried creating a custom efi string with osx86 tools and putting it in boot.plis with the name, 1024mb ram and dvi-dvi. but no luck. i've also tried editing nvdav50hal.kext and nvdaresman.kext to put in the devid in the info.plist.

how did you get your 9600gt working? all you did was the efi string? how did you generate it? do you have any injectors? on leopard (5.7) his card works fine with nvdarwin injector.

i thought this card would be easy to install but efi studio and acpi patcher do not have prebuilt efi strings for it. the card is actually dvi,vga and hdmi i think but we'd be happy with just the dvi working.
thanks for your help

yes i use efi string t get my VGA working... just generate it with GFX tools in osx86tools or maybe u can use silent natit 64 bit for snow to inject your vga ..
if u use 32 bit mode some injector still working

Ok! This may be another silly idea. But would it be possible to load a cpuid patcher/simulator from a bootloader just before loading mach_kernel? I don't know if this would be possible as I'm not a programmer, but I was thinking QEMU, which can even simulate lots of non-intel cpu architectures using intel/amd cpus. I know tha QEMU is an open-sourced program that needs to be loaded UNDER an os in order to be used but.....
If there could be something like that, all amd users could run unmodified vanilla kernels. So I would like to have an answer from people who have the appropriate knowledge on programming.

About my system:
Motherboard: Supermicro H8DAE-2 with nVidia MCP55 Pro chipset which supports up to two Six-Core AMD Opteron 2000/8000 processors
Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Aplus Products | Motherboards | H8DAE-2
Processor: 1x Opteron 8214 (for the time being) :-)
Ram: 4 GB Samsung DDR2 667 Registered ECC Unbuffered
Graphics Card: Nvidia 9400 GT
I also have two SATA hard disks, 120 GB and 640GB , a Sony IDE DVD reader and an Optiarc DVD Recorder.
