A Part of OsX : BootFlag

Posted by HackMacIndo

Wednesday, 18 August 2010

I am getting sick and tired of seeing incomplete lists of kernel flags. I always find a new one's and then I wonder what other ones are out there. So here is a list of all the ones I have come across because I cant find an extensive list like this anywhere else. I also would like to see others help add to this list. Mods do you think this can be a sticky? thumbsup_anim.gif

The Flags are divided up this way.

By category they fit in. Those are boot loader & kernel level flags.

A. By version of OS X they work with. Currently I have little data for this breakdown. It is impossible to tell which ones are specific to a OS version without extensive testing of each flag.

B. By kernel they work with. Only data I have for this breakdown is for hacked and vanilla kernels in Leopard currently.

Note: All unknown flags will go in separate list at the bottom of the category they belong to or in there own separate category for now. Once more information is gathered the list will be updated and flag categorized better.

I am asking anyone to help with notes or details for any flag to please step forward with any additional information you have.


Darwin boot loader level flags, for Darwin version 8.0:

-v = verbose mode. Basically tells you wants happening during boot up.

-x = Safe mode. Basically boots your system with the bare minimum kexts.

-s = Single user mode. Command line only mode. Allows you to run commands as root to fix system.

-f = Tells the machine to reload all kext and dump the boot configuration cache, (kext cache found in: /System/Library/Extensions.mkext, you can delete it manually and the system will recreate it).

"Graphics Mode"= Tells the system what resolution width, height, color depth & refresh rate to boot the OS with.

Ex: "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH

-----

in Snow leopard, may cause a looping/alway reboot if no bootflag define

busratio=xx .. xx value betwen 16 to 24, its value based on type of processor that using

arch=1386 .. boot mode in 32bit

-force64 ... force to boot mode in 64bit

Example :

Intel Processor Core i5 650, use bootflag busratio=24

Intel Processor Core i7 920, use bootflah busratio=20

A part of OsX : Kext

Posted by HackMacIndo

Monday, 2 August 2010

Kext file is a kernel extension. They’re generally used for device drivers and other things that need to modify the system at the lowest level. They’re not the same as classic Mac OS extensions, as many of the things that classic Mac OS extensionsdid are done differently in Mac OS X.Since kernel extensions aren’t protected byMac OS X’s memory protection, developers are encouraged to stay away from writing them unless they absolutely have to. Even then, Mac OS X can dynamically load them, so chances are you’d rarely have to add anything to Mac OS X’sExtensions folder.

What is KEXT?

KEXT stands for Kernel Extension, this means that whatever needs to run in the kernel (OS core) environment can be written as extension and then loaded, even after the OSX has finished loading, this mostly answer the needs for hardware drivers.

Where are kext located?

kext are not files rather a folder (disguised as a file),

Leopard holds kext files/folders in the /System/Library/Extensions folder,

at boot time the relevant kext are uploaded from Extensions.mkext this is a cachefolder that contains kext related to the installed hardware,

you can delete it, if Leopard can’t find it, it will create it again,

you can also state to rebuild it from darwin prompt at boot time using the switch -f see this post for further information.

in chameleon bootloader, it will be located on Extra/Extension or just Extra folder

How to Install a new Kext?

cd /System/Library/Extensions

mv KextName.kext KextName.old  (where kextName stands for the kext you want to replace) this will rename the kext and this way back it up, it is highly recommended, warmly advised, very important to follow this step, it saved my OS many times

cd /path/to/new/kext (put your downloaded kext path here)

cp -R KextName.kext /System/Library/Extensions

next you need to fix permissions so the kext can be executed by OS user (root/system)

cd /System/Library/Extensions

chmod -R 755 KextName.kext

chown -R 0:0 KextName.kext   (this will set the ownership on files to system user (root))

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext   (this will reset all kext caching done by OSX)

or 

use OsX86Tools and Kextutility ... just drag and drop your kext. simple


How to Remove/Uninstall Kext?

Just drag from folder Extra/Extension or /System/Library/Extension to Trash and repair permission with diskutility

or

from terminal ( as same as with boot mode : -s ), type per line below

sudo -s 

and type password ( nothing if use boot : -s )

mount -uw /

cd /System/Library/Extensions

rm -fr nameofkext.kext

exit

reboot 

---
if there any windows version, can use macdrive and then boot again to MacOS with bootflag -v -f

Definition of OsX86

Posted by HackMacIndo

By PCMag 

A patched version of the Mac operating system that enables Mac OS X to run on a regular PC, not a Mac computer from Apple. Also called a "Hackintosh," an OSx86 machine is an illegitimate Mac clone that came about after Apple switched to Intel CPUs, starting in 2006. OSx86 uses the Mac OS X operating system modified with software patches from various sources, and new patches must be made available with each new version from Apple. The x86 PC's BIOS must also be updated to support the Apple's boot interface (see UEFI). In addition, regular Apple software updates cannot be applied to most OSx86 machines. 

By Wikipedia 

OSx86 (a portmanteau of OS X and x86) is a collaborative "hacking" project to run the Mac OS X computer operating system on non-Apple personal computers with x86 architecture processors. The effort started soon after the June 2005 Worldwide Developers Conference announcement that Apple would be transferring their personal computers from PowerPC to Intel microprocessors. 

A computer built to run this type of Mac OS X is also known as a Hackintosh, which is a portmanteau of the name of Apple's main OS, Macintosh, and hack. 

By Urban Dictionary 
a PC-clone that has had its operating system replaced with OS-X, making it effectively a cheaper, upgradeable Mac able to interface with most PC peripherals.


By iDeneb

Osx86, from the join of OSX and x86, is a project carried out by a lot of people to permit to run Mac OSX in non-apple machines.
The word Hackintosh comes from the union of Macintosh and the verb to hack
