Voodoo 2

IMPORTANT ! Before you post

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING. The following page regroups key bugs and workarounds for the current version of Voodoo Kernel. Please check if your problem or issue is listed below before posting. Also check that you are using the latest version of the kernel (download here)

If you are experiencing a problem that you think might be kernel related, try installing another kernel. If the problem is ONLY present with Voodoo Kernel, then post an issue. IF THE BUG REMAINS WITH ANOTHER KERNEL IT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT VOODOO DEPENDENT AND YOU SHOULD NOT POST AN ISSUE HERE.

THE CURRENT VERSION OF VOODOO 2 is Alpha 3

It is not yet intended to run on AMD (for AMD user the previous stable version is recommended: http://xnu-dev.googlecode.com/files/Voodoo_Kernel_Release_1.0_Rev_A.dmg)
