Menathor Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Great stuff! One thing - if you're running EFI, you don't need to restore the old kernel. Should work perfectly with the new (vanilla) 8.11.1 kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should work perfectly with the new (vanilla) 8.11.1 kernel. You need to restore patched kernel in step 5/ because PC_EFI is not yet installed. Vanilla kernel is installed in step 8/.

LS8 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 thanks for the guide, i'm wondering though, why is EFI installed after the update? Because the default 8.10.1 kernel from XxX is not compatible with EFI. If you can obtain as OSX86 10.4.10 compatible kernel (8.10.x - ToH or vanilla), you can install it, install PC_EFI and then run the 10.4.11 update in EFI enabled environment. My solution expects you have XxX 10.4.10 installed with its default kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagal Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I want to thank you again for this! While I did not do your steps exactly, the replacing of the APCI kext is what allowed me to finally get a vanilla kernel booting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hey there, I've released a new 10.4.11 iso.... ...maybe you want to try it out... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackCH Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 SSE2 10.4.11 is untested. The DVD includes the last 8.11.1 (both, EFI/no-EFI) by ToH, is said they work on SSE2 but I couldnt test it. You probably need to boot with '-legacy' flag (I do on SSE3). Otherways you can still use the 8.9.1 kernel also included. The release is pretty much the same as the 10.4.10 but adds the apple 10.4.11 update, efi patches and the new kernels. It wasnt possible to do a PPF due the size of the 10.4.10 image....

LS8 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Great news. I will test it tomorrow. It's sad it doesn't contain ALC889a driver. What version of PC_EFI is included? The lastest v8.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Includes all versions from 5 till 8. About the ALC driver, will be added in the PPF1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS8 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 You probably didn't start in single-user mode. Keep pressing F8 during startup, choose your OSX86 startup partition, enter "-s" as startup parameter (single-user mode) and press ENTER.
