letni Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) This explains the process I took to get 10.4.8, Semthex 8.8.1 kernel, and Nvidia working. Here is my hardware Athlon 64 X2 3800 + Nforce 410 mATX based motherboard PCIe Geforce 7600GT Here is what I started out with: Jas 10.4.4 + 10.4.6 DVD installed Here is what I used: JaS.10.4.8.AMD.SSE3.Only.Combo.Update - to bring to sort-of 10.4.8 MAC OS X 10.4.8 Intel Only Jas re-seed - To obtain real 10.4.8 kexts and OpenGL Framework Semthex kernel grabber script found HERE Here is my process. 0. Installed JaS.10.4.8.AMD.SSE3.Only.Combo.Update onto my 10.4.6 install 1. I installed the real 10.4.8 Intel Only onto a real SSE3 Intel machine - This was the easiest way for me to grab the folders /System/Library/Extensions/ /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/ 2. Set this install up as a slave drive on my AMD 10.4.6-> 10.4.8 sort-of machine and booted 3. Moved /System/Library/Extensions/ to /System/Library/Extensions.pre8/ and /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/ to /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework.pre8/ 4. Copied Extensions folder from real 10.4.8 Intel install (slave drive) to /System/Library/Extensions and OpenGL.framework from real 10.4.8 to /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/ 5. Removed /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext as this will kernel dump on AMD Cpus when trying to boot real 10.4.8 (8.8.1) Kernel 6. This step is only because I use an Nforce based motherboard and the kexts for the IDE controller isn't included in the real 10.4.8 Intel Only. I deleted IOATAFamily.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions and copied over the one from Extensions.pre8 ( this adds AppleGenericPCATA.kext in the Plugins in IOATA...) 7. Copied over other Extensions pertaining to 3rd party hardware.. Like I copied over forcedeath.kext from .pre8 to ensure networking still worked. 8. I installed Titan.kext into the Extensions folder 9. I followed the guide here: HERE to add my Video card VenID to the proper kexts in /System/Library/Extensions 10. I ran Semthex's kernel script to go grab the latest version of his kernel build and rebooted. Came back up with QE/CI enabled on my PCIe Nvidia card running kernel 8.8.1. Hope this helps some of you out there. Letni Edited January 2, 2007 by letni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
