matix Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 since the powermacs (current and discontinued) models have been using nvidia products heavily, i think it is logical that the trend will continue on x86 hardware, at which time we will have some nvidia files to play with. it could come even sooner, and that is what i am hoping for.

merak Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 well..i've read these pages...can someone write a sort of step by step installation, using only 10.4.1 to get the upgade? i mean, files requested, and command to make these file work? i've read but there's a big chaos in my mind!!

ghw9132 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 10.4.3 Native install w/o NX/DX! Thanks to Maxxuss, Jas, Macgirl, and everyone else that made this possible. Runs great with Intel iTunes from f1111. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Sr Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 ok.. I'm going crazy here. I try to read and do things my self but I can figure this one out. I have successfully installed 10.4.3 Nativly on a 848P P4 with Prescott @3.4Ghz SSE3 PAE with no XD now heres the prob. If I boot from the hdd I get no mouse at all. If I boot from the DVD and use this @ boot promt I get mouse and everything works: rd=disk0s1 -v -x Platform=X86PC "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32@90" I tried copying the kernel from the dvd to the root of the hdd and I tried rm'ing the /Lib/Pref/SysConf/Extensions.mkext & Extensions.kextcache and that didnt work either, I also repaired permissions on the hdd several times and that doesn't work either.... Please post any suggestions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Why are you doing that long string at bootup? What happens if you only boot it with -F -v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Sr Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 ok, I get no mouse or keyboard when I boot from the hard drive. If I boot using the DVD boot loader and set rd=disk0s1 I get keyboard and mouse... could it be the kernel extensions? I will try moving the kernel extensions from the DVD to my hard drive and let you know what happens. Specifically: ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream. ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on mouse input stream. btw, I am using a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard and Optical Mouse if it makes a difference. Thanks [EDIT] ok, I did a clean install to see if maybe something just went wrong at install. No go... so I extracted the Extensions.mkext from the dvd, copied ApplePS2Controller.kext ApplePS2Keyboard.kext & ApplePS2Mouse.kext to the /sys/lib/ext/ and chmod'd & chown'd, repaired permissions on the entire volume and rebooted and I have keyboard and mouse without using the DVD.... I guess my kbd and mouse didn't like the kext's that get installed from the DVD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtraa Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Could you explain how to burn using disk utility? I followed exactly ur steps (except for the disk utility burn) with 8F1111 (no need to say I downloaded the latest oah for 8F1111) and I am stuck at resetarts.... i did not followed the thread, but If you want to burn your patched image with the diskutility, there are two ways: The first diskutility is in the commandline. Lets skip this one The second is the diskutility located in the subfolder of your programs. Start it up, and mount your patched diskimage by doubleclicking on it. You will get a new "drive" now that appears in your diskutility program. Click on it to select it, insert a blank disk and then just click on the yellow burn symbol on the upper left.

Thanks for the help I finally got it, I was having problems with my old BIOS so I couldn't start 8F1111 Installation, now I would like to know if I can connect ps2 keyboard. Thanks again!
