So you've just updated to OS X 10.4.10 and you're looking for that new kernel – well SSE3 users for both Intel and AMD can now go and grab a patched version of the kernel from the channel #10.4.10 over on the IRC server irc.osx86.hu. Be warned this isn't for you SSE2 users as the emulator has not yet been added.

Thanks goes to The Creator for this.

This method will update your hackint0sh from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 except for GMA900 and GMA950 users.

1. Open up the terminal and type "sudo -s" then "your password" then the following (line by line):
   CODE

   Code:

   cp /mach_kernel /old cp -R /system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app / cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext / cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleACPIplatform.kext / cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleAPIC.kext / cp -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext / cp -R /system/library/extensions/system.kext /

2. Keep terminal open.
3. Open disk utility and keep it open.
4. Run Software Update and deselect everything but the 10.4.10 intel update and install it (AND DO NOT RESTART—IGNORE THE INSTALLER WINDOW)
5. Open terminal and type the following:
   CODE

   Code:

   cp /old /mach_kernel cp -R /loginwindow.app /system/library/coreservices/ cp -R /AppleSMBIOS.kext /system/library/extensions/ cp -R /AppleACPIplatform.kext /system/library/extensions/ cp -R /AppleAPIC.kext /system/library/extensions/ cp -R /IOATAFamily.kext /system/library/extensions/ cp -R /system.kext /system/library/extensions/ rm -rf /system/library/extensions.*

6. Open disk utility and repair permissions for your OS X partition.
7. Reboot.

This does not update you to the new kernel as there is currently no option for that as of yet.

For those of you that haevn't been able to get your hands dirty with the latest OS X beta of Leopard (build 9A466) that was released at the WWDC then you may be interested in Wired's review . It covers all the new features including the spectacular visuals that make the GUI a much pleasanter experience for the user and make computers accessible and simple the way they should have been for years.
