Soündless Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 I replaced the kernel to the 10.4.9 one and got the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 well its not that easy. A little bird told me there were many more protections and that it got into single user mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellogoodbye Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The OS is a modified version of 10.4.7, so maybe try putting the kernel from there into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soündless Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 i'll have to get a hold of that because my mbp came with 10.4.8 you can boot into single user mode on the apple tv? what can you edit there that you cant edit in os x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShadowWolf Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Im downloading the 10.4.7 combo pack for Intel right now, when its done I'll send mach_kernel etc. to my iMac for storage. If someone has a permanent storage solution I can give you access to download it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhinchliffe Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'd like to call attention to this Demonoid torrent: MOD EDIT. DO NOT LINK TO COPYRIGHTED FILES. Thank you. Scroll down to the comment made by the user "XianLi". Ok, i've found the problem. /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app Both apps are checking the hardware name and won't start until we found a hack. I've been able to boot the AppleTV OSX system on my Mac mini with a 10.4.8 Finder. Does this mean anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 It explains why even after being able to Boot ATV on my MBP I get an immediate restart after the kernel has loaded. (Not Kernel Panic, an actual restart) I knew to try to strip out the Finder.app for the time being, but I did not think about Setup Assistant.app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbz Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I only quickly browsed through finder.app for any references to a device name and was unable to find any. It may be that finder.app is handing the task over to backrow or other frameworks. Otherwise, some serious hacking is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShadowWolf Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 reading /etc/rc was interesting. Its very short and seems to have a only a few functions. Specifically I found these. #!/bin/sh # Script to prepare root device function die () { echo "$@" sleep 10 bless --device `redirect --recovery` --setBoot --nextonly reboot } function mount() { if [ "$1" = "-uw" -o "$1" = "-vat" ]; then echo "Skipping $@" return 0 else /sbin/mount "$@" fi } It looks like if something doesnt want to work, it kills the operating system. I think thats why it reboots when trying to load a non-standard kernel. So wait, why doesnt someone try removing the die function and boot if off an Intel Mac?

Urbz Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 the problem is watchdog. For all of you trying this, do the hexedit on this page to disable watchdog and let us know what hapenned differently. -Urby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Im downloading the 10.4.7 combo pack for Intel right now, when its done I'll send mach_kernel etc. to my iMac for storage. If someone has a permanent storage solution I can give you access to download it . as semthex says : its not a base on 10.4.7! and the mach_kernel is different! its based on 10.4.8 with a few modifications. and the aTV kernel is 8.8.2 (12mb big) sorry to dissapoint you all -DiaboliK as for the watchdog it is set to intel's ich7/m lpc controllers also did you find the aTV signal plugin which i think has something to do with watchdog, but im not sure so dont quote me on it.

mnit Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 As far as I can tell ITVSignal is used by the NowPlaying.qtz file to grab track info; or at least, thats what Quartz Composer tells me has failed to load when I try opening NowPlaying.qtz on my iMac. I've been trying to get it to work, basing my actions on the idea that ITVSignal.plugin is a quartz composer patch (I'm probably wrong mind, I am quite the noob at this sort of stuff) but I don't know enough to go about trying to bundle the xml inside ITVSignal.plugin into a new QC patch, or to get QC to see ITVSignal as it stands. I could modify an existing quartz composer plugin I guess, but I don't know if I want to risk making bits of QC stop working.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

señor bean Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I've been trying a bunch of ways of combining the image from the AppleTV and a full OS X install to try to get it booting on my mac mini. Since I figured it was reasonably related to OSX86 in general, I threw up a page on the wiki (a user sub-page to be specific) here to keep track of what I've done and share it. Maybe we should try to coordinate our efforts in one place, something like that, so we aren't duplicating a lot of effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
