dziwei Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Right now I am running on a generic bootpack/extras, it is not the D830 bootpack. it is giving the most consistent performance (particularly in half life 2) so i thought I would add in just the kexts that i need to make things function; sleep mode, performance monitor (those bars you told me about in the top menu) what others would you recommend? is there an inventory list for the D830 bootpack that I can refer to? thanks a lot.

Axel-Erfurt Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I have a similar question. Some kext are both in Extra and myhack.kext/Plugins. Do I need so no extra-folder anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2014 Of course you need /Extra! myHack takes its PlugIns from there. If you remove kexts from extra, they'll be totally removed from myHack's PlugIns folder after a myfix and will no longer be available at all. myHack takes kexts from /Extra/extensions, bumps up version to 1111 and copies then to the PlugIns folder of /S/L/E/myHack.kext. This is how they can get loaded at boot time. If the kexts were only on /E/E, they would not be loaded. That clever mechanism allows to use a kext of a same name as a Vanilla kext in /S/L/E but supersede it through version bumping: OS X always uses kexts with the highest version if in presence of multiple kexts of the same name. This basically allows to leave /S/L/E completely unmodified and totally Vanilla, so users control things a lot more without risks of overwriting a vanilla kext if it's ever required to roll back.

Axel-Erfurt Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 many thanks for this detailed explanation. another question: using 'sudo kextcache --system-prelinked-kernel -arch x86_64' in terminal gives an error message is IntelCPUMonitor needed for HWMonitor? IntelCPUMonitor.kext - no dependency found for org.netkas.FakeSMC.IntelCPUMonitor.kext is missing dependencies (including anyway; dependencies may be available from elsewhere)IntelCPUMonitor.kext - no dependency found for org.netkas.FakeSMC.IntelCPUMonitor.kext - no dependency found for org.netkas.FakeSMC.Prelink failed for org.mozodojo.IntelCPUMonitor; aborting prelink.Failed to generate prelinked kernel.Can't create kext cache under / - owner not root.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2014 It depends on the version of FakeSMC. It's not required with recent Kozlek's version since 5.x.yyy as the FakeSMC kext uses a specific CPUSensor PlugIn that renders IntelCPUMonitor obsolete. It can also clash with FakeSMC. It's best to use a recent FakeSMC kext and get rid of that old IntelCPUMonitor kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
