1. Copy AppleACPI and AppleAPIC to desktop

2. Applied JaS SSE2 Beta9 patch to 10.4.8 SSE2 working installation

3. Before reboot, delete r2d2, AppleACPI and AppleAPIC

4. Move AppleACPI and AppleAPIC back

5. Copy s5 kernel (mach_kernel.s5) to root and set permission

6. Repair disk permissions and prebinding things

7. Reboot with mach_kernel.s5

 

And now I am running 10.4.8 with 8.8.1 kernel....Thanks to all who make it possible!

Exp5 works for me too.

Just replaced the kernel and all was well.

Finder doesn't crash any more and everything seems stable.

In fact, it is the most stable build for my Sony Vaio FS15LP.

 

(Pentium M Dothan 2.13Ghz / DDR 1GB / ICH6M / Nvidia Go 6200 TurboCache)

 

But I am still stuck at the 1024x768 resolution while the native resolution of my Vaio is 1280x800.

Loading Titan gives me all white screen although system continue to load and even possible to reboot

by the command+control+F12 key combo.

 

Is there anyone successfully load the Titan.kext with Nvidia Go 6200?

 

Btw, to where should I send my crash logs?

 

Thanks for your hard work, Semthex :P

Gents,

 

Can someone please explain the procedure howto copied the s5 file/kernel to root how to boot from that kernel ?

All other solutions in this forum didn't work in combination with the JAS 10.4.8 beta9 update.

It hangs everytime on the grey boot screen.

So i like to include the kernel myself, but don't know how.....

 

A clean install with the JAS 10.4.7 DVD works (wireless, sound) only the resolution was 1024x768 but that was fixed with the Macvidia patch (1680x1050) and of coarse it was slow

 

I tried to run this os on my Dell inspiron 8600 laptop

 

Thanks in advance.....

News on the SSE2 front!!!

After a long battle session with myself and SaberSHO i am proud to say is iTunes 7 running native on sse2 computer!

Emulation is still shaky as it is imcomplete. Work will progress and stay tuned as a stable emulator will come soon!

Here are some pictures to feed your hunger.

Ahhh....

finally, i can go to sleep:

SSE2 PURE 10.4.8 INSTALL WITH TITAN SCREENSHOT

 

just following up on rufus's above post. things are still very unstable....but it makes for good screenshots ;)

 

GNIGHT (oh wait, the sun is coming up....)

 

 

btw...when i say pure, I mean that it is straight from a Apple 10.4.8 Combo Update. It does not use ANY non-10.4.8 Frameworks.

Woot, thanks. I had the same problems as you booting the earlier versions and now it's working following your method! Thanks man ;).

 

The only problem/glitch I seem to notice is that he says I got 0 Mhz in the About This Mac. Any idea how to solve?

Forgot where I read the below method. It used to work for me, however it seems not work anymore. You can try.

 

I have figured out a way to manually fix your About This Mac window.

 

Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app

 

Right click and click "Show Package Contents" on loginwindow.app

 

Once inside loginwindow.app, go to /Contents/Resources/English.lproj

 

You should see a file called "AboutThisMac.strings" inside English.lproj, open it up with TextEdit

 

Depending on weather you have a singe or dual processor, scroll down to one of the following lines of code:

 

Single Processor scroll down to the following code

CODE

/* final UI with a description of the processor (e.g. "600 MHz PowerPC G3") */

//"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Processor: %@";

"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";

"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_L3CACHE_FORMAT" = "%@ L3 cache";

 

 

Dual Processor scroll down to the following code

CODE

/* final UI with a description of the processors (e.g. "Dual 800 MHz PowerPC G4")

//"ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSORS_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Processors: %@";

"ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSORS_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";

"ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSORS_L3CACHE_FORMAT" = "%@ L3 cache per processor";

 

 

Edit the fourth line so that it matches your processor. So here's what my Celeron would look like.

CODE

/* final UI with a description of the processor (e.g. "600 MHz PowerPC G3") */

//"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Processor: %@";

"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "2.7 GHz Intel Celeron D";

"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_L3CACHE_FORMAT" = "%@ L3 cache";

 

 

Next, save the file as "AboutThisMac.strings" to your desktop.

 

Then copy the file back over to your English.lproj folder.

 

Now, check out your About This Mac and enjoy your no longer unknown processor.

Out of curiosity, what did the problem end up being? Was it what everyone thought? (An SSE3 instruction that wasn't being emulated?)

 

This is so exciting. Keep up the great work! :P

Hello,

 

I just tried the new kernel, it worked perfect. I just copied the s5 to my root and renamed it to mach_kernel.s5, then repaired perission and restarted with mach_kernel.s5. It booted way fatsre than beta 9.

 

After that I uninstalled katana (which I installed a few days ago) because it destroyed my QE support. After the uninstallation: blue screen at boot, not text, a mouse for 2 secs and then just blue screen. Before restrating btw: I chnaged the name to mach_kernel and the original to mach_kernel.old and repaired permissions.

 

I'm goping to try the old kernel later today, cause I don't have time now.

 

(btw, don't see this as complaining!!! I reallly appreciate what you do and I'm not complaining, I'm just giving sharing my experience)

Right now I started with 10.4.6 JaS install with appropriate patches. Delta to 7, Delta to .8. Deleted IOPCCardFamily.kext and AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext. Replaced with older IOPS2Controller.kext and paulicat's smbios.

 

This boots with the "in testing" kernel, but about this mac does not open.

 

So for the screenies, i used loginwindow from 10.4.6.

 

So, files to backup?

Loginwindow.app,

IOPS2Controller,

download Smbios...

 

Thats about it...the rest is all official 10.4.8 official files.

 

And please dont bug me about where to get te kernel. Rufus and Semthex will release it when they are good and ready (still lots of bugs)....

Hmmm iTunes 7 isn't running, saying there is not enough memory left. Anyone else got this also? I had this on 10.4.7 also, so I reinstalled and kept Itunes 6, but I thought the problem was solved with the new kernel? I got 786 MB Ram, don't see the problem.
