miranda Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi all, Just wanna report a sucefulll installation. Version : 10.4.4 CPU Intel 2.4 (SSE2) MotherBoard Intel 875PBZ HDs : ATA and Serial ATA Video : GeForce 4200 TI 1. Downloaded 1.2gb partition host image from 10.4.4 *by julien* 2. Installed on a new hardrive. 3. Run It under VMWARE just to test it. 4. Replaced the MACH_KERNEL with the lastest MACH_KERNEL provided by Maxxus for 10.4.4 5. Runned Native. Everything runs smooth. This is GREAT! Thank you! Pablo. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10235-reporting-another-great-installation-of-1044/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I want to second this method. Simply use the bootcd referred to in the torrent file to expand the compressed gho file to a second blank hard drive. For those limited to SSE2 cpu's, replace the mach_kernel with mach_kernel.all (removing the .all extension) from the 10.4.4 patched kernels folder and you're good to go. Couldn't be easier.

jdxxx Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Someone reported this worked on SSE2 without modification. This was not my experience -- I had to past in the mach_kernel_all and rename (using my 10.4.3 installation to do this) For clarification, has anyone else had success installing without modification on an SSE2 system?? THIS IS DEFINITELY the easiest way to install 10.4.4. I expect this will become the standard way of installing any hacked-mac system -- and I cannot figure out why more people are not catching on to this: -Get a Ghost image of a working partition. -Create a partition for image to be restored into. -Restore the partion. -Done in less than an hour. The advantages of this are that you KNOW the original partition was working. Of course anyone posting an image should add the following info (and unfortunately many duffs will not figure this out): -MD5 of the image. (Why can't people understand this? Every big file needs one to check the download and burn integrity.) -Which kernel is installed (should always be the SSE2 for compatibility) -Intel or AMD install -Which other kext are present and working (should always have AC97). As much as I hate using Ghost (prefer Acronis), Ghost seems to make smaller images of the OSX partitions. I can compress 6GB of installed stuff on a 30GB partition into a 3GB image. BTW, I upgraded this install to 10.4.5 without any difficulty using the M@@@ scripts.

h4n9m4n Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 what stinks baout htis one is that you need a 22.7 gb partition to install it. i only had 15 gb available, so i cant install it =( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10235-reporting-another-great-installation-of-1044/#findComment-65520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marz Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Quick question. The ghost image worked right out of the partition, even with my SSE2 no-XD chip. Is networking supposed to work right then and there, because mine sure doesn't. Mine is a bit sluggish also. Should I be using one of those other mach_kernels in the disk?

stryder Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I downloaded the 10.4.4 Restore DVD. Then I downloaded the 10.4.4 Restore DVD Patcher, ran it, and installed it. That's all!

calmesal Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 You need IONetworkingFamily.kext and AC97Audio.kext from 10.4.3, put in /System/Library/Extentions and chmod then chown, restart.

marz Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Argh, for some reason my '/' and '\' buttons translate into /302/221/ or similar (which equals into an é). I'm using a standard keyboard.. does anyone else have this problem? It's driving me nuts having to click copy and paste just to make a '/' Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10235-reporting-another-great-installation-of-1044/#findComment-66959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxxie Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If I need to replace the mach_kernel but have no other installation of OSX to do it within, can I boot my 10.4.4 DVD (which doesn't install properly) and use the Terminal from within the installer to copy the file over? I'm going to try and use this GHO image later today on my P4 1.6A (SSE2) machine.

JeffC Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I got on and booted up. Problem is my screen resolution is terrible and I can hardly read it. 256 colors, any help would be appreciated. In Display there are no options to change resolution.
