skyliner34 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 10.4.5 works like a charm with me. Great work maxxuss. Is it me, or is 10.4.5 a bit faster than 10.4.4? Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 10.4.5 installed and work. the only bad gui experience i have is that the mouse artifacts ot worse. it wasn't that noticable before using Firefox, but now, it's getting annoying. I imaging Safari would be worse with the mouse thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark7714 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I removed the instructions for updating from under 10.4.4. It did not work. I will have to figure out, what's the cause here. Hey Maxxuss, just to let you know, using your 10.4.4 instructions as a starting point, I was able to upgrade to 10.4.5. Here is what happened: The big problem for me was my computer locked up after installing the apple patch (while, during, but after it had actually done the patching). I rebooted, and since I hadn't been able to change the kernel, it didn't work. I booted up with a 10.4.3 DVD, mounted my HD, and was able to replace the kernel as well as the extensions. The script you made available did not work while booted with the DVD (because things like grep are not usable when booting on the DVD), so I wasn't able to do everything. HOWEVER, I was able to do enough that when rebooting I was able to boot into single user mode of 10.4.5. At that point, I ran the script, as well as chmod, chown, kextcache. Now it's working (more or less - wifi is gone, but I'll take care of that). So, don't quit!, it is possible to do it sort of. Though I still needed a 10.4.3 boot disc, but I thinkany boot disc would have worked. In fact, now that I think about it, I had used one of my knoppix discs, it may have been even easier... (Can knoppix load HFS?) Anyway, thanks for all you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ut2211 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 to dijn. I added <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> but still resolution is locked at 1024x768! I have a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900: Chipset Model GMA 900 in the D915GUX motherboard. which is your graphics adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 There is no problem with the way you described it o the tut. I think the problem is when people use the terminal to try to copy files from one drive to the other. People simply get lost and can't find a map of how commands work. I managed to get mine working because I had Tiger installed on a seperate hdd. It was much faster than working in vmware. Even though you made a backup copy of your mach_kernel, make certain you also copy the mach_kernel.all to your target drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a some-what related interesting side-note, OS X went from calling my CPU a 1.6 GHz Celeron M to a 1.8 GHz Celeron M. Interesting, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb_gmd Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Maxxus, I don't think many people really appreciate what you're doing here.. Like it doesn't take time and energy to do this stuff I just want to say thankyou. You have inspired me to learn how to code for a mac. I've stayed away before from applescript etc. But you've started a whole revolution almost like when linux first came out people hackin' it trying to make it work on their systems allthough that revolution being mostly legal thanks again keep up the good work.

Jahbz Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 just a quick Q before i update! Will all the tweaks i did to my 10.4.4 system work in 10.4.5 also? Such as : powermanagement tweak, wireless usb tweak, quartz 2D etc? sorry if im beeing nOOby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1g1ta7 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks maxxuss. the upgrade went perfectly, only needed to add "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" to the Kernel Flags in com.apple.Boot.plist. I've got the "odd" CPU report, my 3ghz P4 went to a 4ghz P4. The minimize effect seems to be choppier than on 10.4.4, may just be because its a first boot.

Cyman Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Why is everyone ignoring posts? I ask myself seriously what you guys read and what informations you are filtering. I just wanted to know, if the mach_kernel from the new patch is the same as in the 10.4.4 patch. See post #7 for my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-.- Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm not ready for 4.5, I need some help with 4.4 because I'm not too familar with Java and hitting a snag. Do I replace it with all of this including those three dots: <script>function hwbeModelCheck() { return true; ... or just this: <script>function hwbeModelCheck() { return true; and how much of the original do i delete? do I delete everything before the next set of script tags or to the very last semicolon that comes before the next set of <>? Or much less? Thanks David -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See post #7 for my question. Yes, mach_kernel is the same. It's 8.4.1 from 10.4.4. The 10.4.5 update installs kernel version 8.5.1, but it does not work on non-Mac hardware (see issues described in my blog). Until the dropped code from prior-8.5.1 is patched back into mach_kernel 8.5.1, it's the best solution to stick to 8.4.1. However, this takes some time.

pion Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 10.4.5 now one weird thing: my Intel 650 3.4GHZ CPU on About This Mac shown up as "3.8 Intel Pentium 4" hope this doesnt overheat my cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bond Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Strange...perhaps OS X is simply mis-identifying your CPU? Either way, you can change the text string back to 3.4ghz if you really wanted to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takuro Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I can't do any work from 10.4.3, because it's only installed on a vmware image. And if i boot into vmware, even if the physical disc with 10.4.4 is loaded as a slave hdd, it seems to screw up the HFS+ partitioning on 10.4.4 and renders it useless. It keeps giving an "invalid sibling link" error. Blah. I don't know why it does this. I can install any OS X build from VMware to a physical disc, but if i ever boot into that disc from VMware afterwards, it messes things up. I guess I'll do a straight update from within 10.4.4, then use MacDrive within XP to do all the patching that I need to do. Hope this works... I really don't wanna mess up 10.4.4. I just got iLife reinstalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
