JahStories Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hi there folks, I've found an old Sempron 2800+ machine in the garbage depot of my city, I was curious, so i took it and after a loooooooooooooooong cleaning with gloves I connected it to the power and BOOM it worked launching winzoz 7! I've removed 2 faulty dvd drives and a six gig drive throwing those back again to the garbage. this is my first AMD hack I know that it's old and probably slower than most of modern smartphone but I'm doing this for fun and to remember the good old times! Specs are: Mobo Asrock K8Upgrade-NF3 CPU Sempron 2800+ 1.60 ghz GPU GeForce FX 5200 128mb ATI 9250 (QE-CI not supported) that i'll replace RAM 2x 512mb 400mhz HDD IDE 160GB Maxtor AUDIO ALC850 Ac97 LAN RTL8201CL 10/100 I've installed MacOsX 10.4.4 using MacOSX_10.4.4DVDPATCHED_Myz.iso but I would like to run the latest version of tiger (10.4.11) So I updated using the combo and replaced the mach_kernel back to the root of the drive and replaced all the needed kexts and loginwindow to coreservices but the spoiler is the result, it isn't a Kernel Panic, it just stops there, even in safe, obviously i'm booting with -f Any kind of help would be highly appreciated! Thanks Jahstories P.s. Maybe 10.4.11 needs an updated kernel? I found some links.... but megaupload and similars are down from years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PippoX0 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 HI, In the past i tried to update an old PC with Tiger ( from 10.4.4 to 10.4.11 ) and i get same Kernel panic ... it seems hard to find a solution However consider to find/use a distro with Tiger 10.4.11 if Tiger is not a priority, why don't try with Leopard which is more easy to fix ... eventually issues .

JahStories Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hi there pippo, Thanks for answering! But i'd like to keep using Tiger and that distro seems pretty clean and almost untouched, that's why i'd like to update it instead of using another one...

WaldMeister Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Dude, This made me laugh an cry at the same time. Sempron is AMD right? I don't think anyone fixed a kernel before Snow Leopard for AMD. I have no idea on this one, but i want to applaud you on your efforts, and hope someone has a solution.

JahStories Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'm happy to make you smile and cry mate! But are you serious? The system was running very good with a patched kernel on 10.4.4 and there are links for patched kernels everywhere in the forum, they are just posted on websites that are no more online, like rapidshare and megaupload...

WaldMeister Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 "JAS Tiger AMD" as a search query should get you to 10.4.8. The kernel for 10.4.11 needs modification, all i could find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duran Keeley Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi JahStories Are you using the kernel from the distro? Tried AnV's patched one here? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139297-anv-mac-os-x-10411-xnu-7922520-kernel-tiger/ Also just incase this happens: okay I have kinda a weird problem....everything goes fine til right near the end of the update, at this point I don't get a reboot option everything on the screen just disappears except the top bar and none of the menu's are clickable in that, is it possible that this is because I'm running an AMD? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107760-how-to-seamless-upgrade-from-104x-to-10411-security-patches/page-2?do=findComment&comment=957866 One more thing: There is a topic on Jas 10.4.8 to 10.4.11 (should apply to 10.4.4 as well) http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87000-jas-amd-1048-to-10411/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 @Duran Thanks!!! I'm trying the AnV's kernel and it seems to load a little bit more but it still hangs on this screen... Not loading the usb 1.0 and 2.0 kexts and getting stuck at diskarb... P.s. this should be the first boot after the combo update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duran Keeley Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Might be a long shot as I don't think it is the source of the problem (beside the IDE controller that needs to be patched, maybe?) Have you tried replacing the following kexts: Apple.SMBIOS.kext IOATAFamily.kext Then boot into Single user and repair permissions: /sbin/fsck -y /sbin/mount -uw / /sbin/autodiskmount -va /usr/sbin/diskutil repairPermissions / SOURCE: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32299-diskarb-error-in-1048-what-exactly-is-it/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 i'm reinstalling right now, I'll try and report back, thanks for helping Indeed, I did not tried replacing ioatafamily, it may help, lets see... if that will not work i'll try using a sata drive... edit: no ahci mode in bios so i thinks that sata is a no go...

JahStories Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 It seems I took a step forward but it always get stuck now with this error: this without using usbfix, i just reinstalled and replaced again all the kexts, kernel, etc...

JahStories Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 I tried editing the script inside Installatstartup folder, but even with arch=i386 I'm still getting stuck with some kernel related errors.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 This is the latest apparently unsuccessful update, this time did it using pacifist, and always using the AnV kernel... it seems to load everything but it doesn't launch the system getting stuck at this screen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Success, updated to 10.4.8, edited the geforce.kext adding the device id of my gpu and removing agpgart.kext qe/ci enabled, other stuff is working too! Great, so happy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
