Yeah, my primary computer is a Hackintosh with a 4790K (so yes, haswell). This computer with was built to have the fastest hardware that also supports Mavericks.@Wowfunhappy you use hackintosh right, how do they deal with this there? What architecture processor are you using (e.g. haswell)?
But, I'm running a vanilla kernel. Most Hackintosh systems have used vanilla kernels since the Snow Leopard days. The exception is AMD-based Hackintoshes, where custom kernels were common up until around 2018, when they also switched to patching in memory.
No, I'm still confused about that! I'm particularly confused because some custom Hackintosh kernels, such as the Bronya Ryzen kernel, don't contain the size discrepancy.Also was it ever figured out why the size of kernel built from source differs from prebuilt (besides the private IOPower functions).
