i called mack_kernel.new instead mach_kernel?uname -a no chance
if i want to implement something where do i have to change things?
i know that under openbsd is in config and in xnu??
Well, under Darwin8 x86, you can specify an alternate kernel name
to the bootstrap, but that doesn't work on a Mac.
On the Intel Mac, I've never been able to find out how to get it
to boot an alternate name, so I just copy it to /mach_kernel and
hope for the best. I do the following:
# cp mach_kernel /mach_kernel
# gunzip kexts-8K1080.root.tar.gz <-- found on www.macosforge.org
# cd /
# tar xf <path>/kexts-8K1080.root.tar
# cd /System/Library
# touch Extensions <-- makes sure it doesn't use the cached ones
# reboot <-- and hope I don't have to re-install from CD:-)
Someone mentioned that you should do a "make install" to put the correct
kexts in place, instead of unrolling kexts-8K1080.root.tar, but I haven't
tried that. (Sofar, it has always booted for me, so I'm sticking with what
works for me:-)
Does anyone know how to get an Intel Mac to boot a kernel with a name
other than /mach_kernel?
I believe that you can make a PPC Mac boot an alternate name by setting
an NVRAM variable correctly, but I don't know how to do that, either.
(My only PPC Mac is a laptop with a dead screen. It works fine with a
display plugged into the external VGA, but I can't see the boot
prompt...) There used to be some notes on this on www.opendarwin.org.
Good luck with it, rick
