I have followed Apple's instructions for building the 10.5 kernel and
have successfully built mach_kernel. To install it I did the following:
cp xnu-1228/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_PPC/mach_kernel /mach_kernel.new
cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.orig
cp /mach_kernel.new /mach_kernel
I've done this on a portable firewire drive so that I don't screw up
by machine.
The problem is that I can boot from this kernel on my TI PowerBook G4
which means that the kernel will boot, however, I am unable to boot my
PowerMac G5 QUAD. I get the white screen with the apple logo, and
then eventually the fans ramp up to full speed. I never see the
spinning circle and holding down "command v" doesn't do anything.
So, the kernel that I build does work on the TI PowerBook G4, but not
on the PowerMac G5 QUAD. It was built on the PowerMac G5 QUAD using
Apple's instructions.
Does anyone know what I need to do to build a kernel that will boot a
PowerMac G5 QUAD?
Any help would be appreciated. I couldn't find anything in the list
archives.
Thanks
Rand
