Vaio Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi guys, I was able to update from JAS 10.4.8 SSE2/SSE3 to 10.4.9 using paulicats method. However I noticed a slowdown in my hard drive access. When I try to copy files between partitions (no difference between HFS+ or FAT32) it takes forever. System profiler shows me a rate of 2-3 MB/s and cpu usage is almost 100%. I am not sure if I missed a file or if I have to change any kext file. Other then that the system is running. would be very greatful if someone can point me to a solution or maybe can tell me which file actually is taking care of I/O operations. Maybe I need to add the hardware id for the VIA PT880 Ultra ? My system: Asrcock 4CoreDual-VSTA E6600 2 GB RAM VIA PT 880 Ultra ATI 9800 Pro 2 IDE Drives (1st Windows Vista, 2nd OS X. partitions: hfs+ 25 gb, hfs+ 21 gb, fat32 6gb) 2 SATA as RAID 0 (only using them for vista) Thank you, oh by the way - how can I see which version of the semtex kernel is running ?

ZodiacfreaK Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 &^%$!&@$!%$@%!$@!% Gah why didn't I just leave well enough alone, I installed the 10.4.9 update and now when I reboot it just goes through the bios checks and then when I select it from the boot menu it shows the "loading Darwin" and then dies again. Can anyone help? How do I replace kexts? Can I read the mac files from a Vista OS on the same harddrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWing Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Got it working, following the instructions on Netkas' Blog Only kext that I kept from 10.4.8 is AppleSMBIOS.kext. Read the blog carefully and follow it to the letter, it works! I got some diskarb errors after the update, rebooted in single user mode and removed /etc/rc.installer_cleanup as advised on the blog. It works great, boots faster. CPU: Intel E6400, Chipset: Intel P965/ICH8R. Now I only need to get my wireless and audio cards working (but those didn't work in 10.4.8 either). Kudos to Netkas!

thinkingman.com Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah I copied the kexts like WizMaC suggested, but no audio, even tried copying over my old AppleAzalia... kext from 10.4.8 but no dice, anybody else? All else runs smooth as silk, better than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm getting the Enabling XMM register save/restore and SSE/SEE2 opcodecs Started CPU 01 error. What should I do? I'm on an Asus P5LD2-VM motherboard with a Pentium D 920, and an Asus radeon x1600 pro. EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it by replacing a couple .kext's. But now I don't have QE/CI and I can't mount .DMG's.

deathr Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Guys, and how about Intel SSE2 CPUs? Did anyone tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxonmylaptop Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 As in the topic title, my hackintosh software update is claiming to update my 10.4.8 to 10.4.9. Can i safely make this update without breaking down my osx?thanks As far as I read in the forum, this could break your osx installation. I dont recommend it.
