I acquired "Mac OS X 10.4.4 osx86 Patched DVD" ISO from a bay of some sort and burned it to a DVD. When I boot, it says that my hardware configuration is not supported by darwin/osx. I did some searching (both soul and on these forums :D) and came to the conclusion that it's because my Pentium M (in my Thinkpad T42) is SSE2 and not SSE3.

 

I downloaded "Maxxuss.Patch.Solution.v1.0.8g1165" and used PPF-omatic to patch the ISO with the SSE2 and nonx patches. The patches were applied instantly, which concerns me (does it mean it wasn't patched properly?). I burned the ISO to a DVD, tried to boot again and got the same "hardware not supported" error.

 

I am currently running XP and have not installed 10.4.3...is this my problem? What am I doing wrong? If it can't be posted, PLEASE pm me. Any and all help is appreciated :)

 

As of now, I'm acquiring "MacOSx 10.4.3 8F1111A Patched Jas v4.2b" just in case.

I think you should build the DVD yourself from the Restore disc that way you can control what boot files (/usr/standalone/i386) will be used. Just replace these with the ones that bypass the SSE3 check and you should get past that error message. In a nutshell, you need to replace those files on the DVD image you have. If you can edit the ISO then great but I haven't found an easy way to do so.
