jesse steffen Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi, I'm new here and have a question. It's about upgrading the version of os x I have running. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say it in the forums so if someone could let me know or can I pm someone? Thanks.

-.- Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Welcome to the forum. I'm new too but clearly not as new as you are. As near as I can tell, any tools for upgrading are found on other sites, someone said that someone named Maxxuss i think, has a site that tells how to do it, and it is improper to post a link to that so people have to google or use their favorite search engines. Here you can learn and share ideas about how to debug as well as stuff about hardware and software compatabilty and many helpful hints along with the ins and the outs of using various OS's, some terminal command line stuff as well as using some editors and other tools to make things work better, plus the latest news about things.

jesse steffen Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well I have everything I need, the problem is when I boot from the 10.4.4 install dvd after the apple logo loading screen, I get hit with the blue screen of death. The PPF-O-MATIC doesn't seem to work on either of my machines so I'm having trouble patching...plus I am unsure of how to change the mach_kernel in the .iso.

-.- Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Well I have everything I need, the problem is when I boot from the 10.4.4 install dvd after the apple logo loading screen, I get hit with the blue screen of death. The PPF-O-MATIC doesn't seem to work on either of my machines so I'm having trouble patching...plus I am unsure of how to change the mach_kernel in the .iso.I couldn't get ppfomatic's gui to work either, so I dragged that one called ApplyPPF into my top level of the drive I was working from and double clicked it, then it gives you a terminal sample of it's commands, then you close it, re-open terminal, put both the kernel and all the patches you will use on your desktop type: sudo s press enter, and type: ApplyPPF a give a space after the a and then drag the kernel into the terminal, then you don't have to give it a space becacuse it gives it automatically, then drag the patch into the terminal, then you will have: ApplyPPF a <path to some_kernel> <path to some_patch.ppf> (the a is the add patch command) press enter if it worked it will say "patch successful" or something like that. and then repeat untill all your patches are in. if it doesnt work, which it didn't one of the times I did it, then ApplyPPF didn't start and you just close the terminal try again, I think maybe you click it once and the terminal then sees it and will take the ApplyPPF command. good luck and let us know if that works for you. note using a u instead of an a is an uninstall command but the stuff you are working with has to support uninstall i don't know if these do, never tried it. to trade out the kernel you can if you want to wait until after the install but before you boot it. in terminal type sudo -s enter cp space drag your new kenel from your desktop into the terminal space then open a newfinder window and and chose the veiw that shows verticle bars click onto the volume of where you want the new kernel to go and then drag that volume into the terminal (not the one you just clicked but the harddrive icon of it that is just to the right of it). press enter. then use disk utility to repair permissions on that volume.

Swad Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Welcome to the forum, jesse steffen. Since you were wondering... It's ok to talk about all of the maxxuss stuff here, just no links to his site or the patches.
