Bachonga Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I can boot my 86 OK and all, but ever since the 10.4.8 update i have been getting a message close to kextd[26] Could not setup diskarb session. Trying again soon. 10 seconds later it tries again, and then 1 more time, making it a 30 second longer boottime also. Then it eventually comes up with "Iokwaitquit" and proceeds booting. I don't really have a problem with the boot time, i mean thats not really a problem, its more to see if there is a bigger one, or if there is a way to fix it.

curlyboy Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Perhaps it is as im just using the 10.4.8 combo update havent got new kernel yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giandal Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Bumper... Same error, it seems we need the decrypted packages, the official update plus new kernel is not enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian1243 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Do you mean Maxxus Decrypts from good 'ol 10.4.4? I put artoo in there thinking that was enough... but i guess im wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giandal Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Do you mean Maxxus Decrypts from good 'ol 10.4.4? I put artoo in there thinking that was enough... but i guess im wrong Well, that's what I understood from Jas comments on mifki's Kernel: My problem with Vitality's kernel hanging at the blue screen was that r2d2 was not working to decrypt the binaries for the gui to run,using the decrypted binaries with his kernel,and all is well.GIU and all.

MichalK Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just after putting Apple's 10.4.8 combo and inserting mifki's (vitaliy's) kernel/smbios.kext i got the same problem on initial boot. Playing with boot switches didn't seemed to help, however i've put the -legacy switch and left the machine for ~30minutes. after that time my hackintosh rebooted (which is supposed normal for 10.4.8 upgrade) and worked fine later on. It turned out that 10.4.8 ATA drivers were not using dedicated INTEL IDE, but generic IDE instead - my XBench disk transfers were as poor as 1MB/s. Editing the info.plist (following paulicat's guide) did the job - disk now operates as intended. Probably the initial boot is disk operations heavy and this makes problems with diskarb (which seem to wait for disk release). To be clear, i was NOT using the decrypts - don't worry, the mifki's built-in artoo does it's job btw. my mobo:d915gag ask me if you have any doubts.

xian1243 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks man i have no doubts but i have one poblem... i do not have acces to any other computer... so yet i cannot modify anything... lol i have only one hard drive ith os x 10.4.8... i use this test drive as my main :-) always trying new things... since im 13 i do not always need a working pc but now im stuck to recover it... is there a way to change the info.plist in os x? :-S thanks fr the help i will try the -legacy thing now :-) wish me luck!

Rammjet Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks man i have no doubts but i have one poblem... i do not have acces to any other computer... so yet i cannot modify anything... lol i have only one hard drive ith os x 10.4.8... i use this test drive as my main :-) As originally recommended, you should have created a new partition or added another hard drive for testing the new kernel. Then you could boot from your working OSX partition and edit or modify whatever you needed to on the "test" partition or hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian1243 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 As i do not have another hard drive to work with it is impossible... but i tried the -legacy thing.. even without typing -legacy i still get waiting for root device. holy {censored}! Well i can try and back up my stuf on my mothers pc with mac drive and wpe the disk clean.. Sor rammjet, how should i go about to install 10.4.8 with working kernel after i wipe it?? thanks for the help folks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaselineAce Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I think the problem may be the Myzar DVD. I read on one of the blogs that we were supposed to use the AMD update, even if using Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xian1243 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I'm just going to wipe my disk, make two partiotions one for test one for main, then instal my myzar 10.4.6 then jas 10.4.8 combo,( then move artoo from exrensions to extensions) then instal kikos 10.4.8 update with the new kernel. I guess no more diskarb errors anymore with an "official update" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
