What happens when you boot in verbose mode (hold down apple-v)? Perhaps you need to touch your /System/Library/Extensions directory, so you don't try to use the old kernel kext-cache with your new kernel? _Mark On Feb 2, 2006, at 10:12 AM, ritchie wrote:

I managed to build xnu 8G32 quite easily last night, and am quite impressed with how slick darwinbuild is. however, when I go to install it on my system, I have the same problem that davec did a month ago: get to the grey apple boot screen and then wedge. am I missing any dependencies, or does the kernel need patching? is there anything tricky I need to do to handle a universal binary? I tried updating the kextcache for the kernel, and also tried booting the ppc only version but had no luck with either. I also updated the build plist to the 8g32od1 version, which doesn't seem to affect xnu from what I can tell. has anyone booted 8.4.1 yet?

I also looked into building the entire system via kevin's

# darwinxref version '*' | sed -e 's/-.*//' > projects.txt # /usr/local/share/darwinbuild/buildorder projects.txt ordered.txt # /usr/local/share/darwinbuild/buildlist ordered.txt

but this fails since I haven't fetched all the packages yet. is there a quick way to do the equivalent of darwinbuild -fetch *, or should I just hack a little curl script together? if I don't _need everything just to get a custom kernel up and running, I won't bother with this step.
