TopazBar Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Fixed on ASRock Conroe945G-DVI. But I think this will work on other systems. Restore /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app from 10.4.4. Also restore /System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter from earlier version to get Hardware Overview working properly.

murcielago585 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 anybody think they could upload this file. I don;t have my dvd anymore and it would be nice to download a small file in a matter of second instead of re-downloading the 10.4.6 dvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugmoon Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 So this fixed the unknown cpu also ? good find Maybe just going back to 10.4.7 loginwindow would do the trick ? Only one way to find out. Too bad I don't have an SSE3 computer to test it out on. Oh, and BTW. Just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you've put into this 10.4.8 release. I feel like you've really gone above and beyond what you had to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMACNUT Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 So this fixed the unknown cpu also ? good find Maybe just going back to 10.4.7 loginwindow would do the trick ? I don't know about that JaS, With my 10.4.7 JaS install Dvd, I still could never get it to show the right info, But I have a bastered build with 10.4.8 w/ semthex kernel that I was able to upgrade from your dvd that I couldn't boot from. Yes I upgraded, I think your right, If it's not an intel, good luck getting it to boot. Also I wouldn't recommend the upgrade to Novice Users.

marliwahoo Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hmm, doesnt crash for me but i guess im using a custom install Same here. It dosent crash for me. My install was from the Jas 10.4.8 dvd ( HD format w/10.4.3 Disk util) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopazBar Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I think (as far as I can tell) the root cause of loginwindow-crashing is SMBIOS data which is mobo dependent. Your BIOS creates this SMBIOS data and is read by AppleSMBIOS.kext which populate your "/rom" device tree. About this Mac calls loginwindow to read this data; however, data from some mobo must be in format that newest loginwindow has problem with. Older loginwindow can deal with it much better. You have seen "0 Mhz Unknown processor". Haven't you? Same here. It dosent crash for me.

joe75 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 But I have a bastered build with 10.4.8 w/ semthex kernel bastered build TopazBar, I use cpus=1 and have no troubles with ATM crashing, but there is no info in Hardware. When I enable both cpus I have all kinds of crashing even a reboot Would your fix, give me info and enable 2 cpu Also my GMA950 is only showing 64mb and should be 256mb, would hardware fix this?
