hello list,
i have managed to build a custom mach_kernel from the 10.3/7.0 sources
at apple.com. i even managed to tell openfirmware to boot it,
Have you flushed the meta-kext as well?
sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext.old
(Not sure wether this is the right way to do it but I remember a non
updated mkext can cause issues)
how do i build a kernel with support for the powerbooks hardware?
Most or all harware support was moved out of the kernel to extensions a
long time ago. To get harware support, you have to fix the extentsions
issue.
or rather, where do i get the sources for the ApplePMU extension?
You don't. It's closed source. Even a plain Darwin installation has a
few closed source binaries. See the OpenDarwin CVS repository in
src/Apple, IIRC.
and how do i install the extensions so that they can coexist with the
already installed extensions of the same name?
You have to give them at least a different file name, of course. Kexts
support some versioning and XPostFacto (open source at OpenDarwin.org)
uses it to it's advantage. Don't know details, sorry.
Hope this helps at least a little,
Markus
