Guest goodtime Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Pukos, Try setting the Mac OS X Partition to the Active Partition. (Can be done in Windows) Set the timeout in your boot configuration file to 10 - 90 seconds. You should be able to dual boot that way.

Giedriux001 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Fresh installed it on HP ZD8000 laptop. It was shown that ATI Radeon Mobility will be installed but no luck with this one. Still stuck on 1024x768 resolution. Anyone had a success with this ? Everything else perfect ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anand78 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 ZV5000 with AMD 3200 and 2GB RAM , works with Macvidia graphics drivers. Needs a USB mouse plugged in at all times. The AMD enabler patch included on the DVD did not work. Had to get it separtely. Also struggled with Macvidia drivers. Overall it seems slow.

Zach Thomas Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Great install on my HP Pavilion zx5000. Intel 3.2 ghz with hyperthreading. Still only scored a high teens in on the xbench but it does seem alot faster than the 10.4.3 that I did have on prior. The SoundMax sound still doesn't work but that's okay. I'm just happy the wireless works! (Oh yeah, don't use the radion mobile drivers, fubars everything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dualBooter Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Heya hanschien, Mac KB's don't have a Delete key, in the sense the Win KB's do. Their Backspace key says 'delete' on it. There is no other key (at least on my Mac USB [transparent purple-back] KB) for deleting. Also on Macs, you use the Apple Command key + left or right arrow key to get the same functionality as Win Home/End keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogabean Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I just attempted to boot the laptop from the Jas 10.4.6 DVD (burned two different times. once at 8x and once at 1x) both result in an error I remember when i tried myzar's first 10.4.6 update (working happy on the vs 3 of that) Just wanted to test this. IOPCI2PCIBridge: bad bridge bus numbering, no room to fix, bailing out! IOPCCardBridge::checkBridgeBusIDs invalid sub/cardbus/pci settings of 0x0 (those two also happened in vs 1 of myzar) SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00 disk1s3: I/O error. repeat.

Goodtime I discovered that dual boot work but i have to press the F8 button during the initial "rotating cursor" animation. Instead in the 10.4.4 version there was for default the menu with the countdown. How can i restore it? How can i set the delay? pukos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flibblesan Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 How do you like the MacVidia drivers? There is no hardware accellaration right now, but I can have higher resolutions. Much better than running in 1024x768 VESA. But the team behind the drivers are working hard and accelleration is coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualBooter Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Success on my desktop system! (See sig for specs) Only difficulty was the b0 error, which was fixed using Extended Fdisk from my Hiren's BootCD (I just went in and changed that partition to Active). I just got a 250GB SATA drive, so I figured it was the ideal time to try a fresh install of the JaS 10.4.6 iso. So far, everything seems to work perfectly. CI/QE, dvd burning, NIC, sound, video, front & rear USB/FW400/sound panels. There are a couple of settings (like workgroup name, Little snitch SysPref pane, etc.) that I had to adjust after using the Migration app to transfer everything from the older HD (about 63GB worth of stuff), but all in all, everything is working like if I picked this up off the shelf at my local Apple store. JaS................................. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seano Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have a perfect working solution of 10.4.5, but for some reason Jas's release of the 10.4.6 install just wont work. It boots, but the system only appears to half load. Ive done it twice now, upgrade and fresh install.... The system as i say loads ok, but the CPU runs at full load and Finder is really unstable. Not sure where its going {censored} up....... maybe the ISO was corrupt downloading.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljsoares Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hi Just install Jas 10.4.6 on Toshiba M100 Dualcore. I have a triple boot of XP, OSX, UBUNTU. After the install i had to boot from the DVD again and "bless" the OSX partition in order to boot. That worked fine for the first time, cause when I booted into Windows and tried to go back to OSX partition i could not boot from it. I guess I will have to "bless" the drive again, but i haven't done that yet since it was getting late when i finish doing this. BUT my first experience with the install was good, Network worked after I edited the IONetwork with the right DEV VEN id's, sound I removed AppleHDA and edited AppleAzalia with the right DEV VEN id's for both the audio and PCI devices. Sound device is detected and shows up on audio output but no sound comes out. I will look into to this a little more and post my findings. By the way Thanks JaS for this greate release.

killjoy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 This a little off topic but whats the difference from this full install of 10.4.6 to the Upgrade "10.4.6 Amd/Intel update". which is way smaller and easyer to install. I did the update and everything seems to work fine. Did i miss something by not installing the full version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
