How to install 10.4.3 8f1111 to a DELL INSPIRON 9400

[p4m]

Hi everyone,

 

I didn't find any instructions about installing 10.4.3 8f1111 *best way* on my laptop DELL INSPIRON 9400, so I've decided to post here a minimal to do list.

Because Intel Core Duo is a SSE3 NX/XD enabled CPU I've patched the original 8f1111 DVD for TPM only related issues.

 

My hardware:

- CPU: Intel Core Duo 1.83Ghz

- Memory: 1Gb DDR SDRAM 667Mhz (512x2)

- Graphic chipset: Intel GMA 950 256Mb

 

You need:

a) "macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg" disk image;

"MaxxussAntiTPM_10.4.3_8F1111_raw.zip" patch;

c) "ApplePS2Controller.kext.10.4.3_DTKx86.zip" kext;

d) a working Mac OS X installation (PowerPC or Intel) with at least about 10Gb of free disk space;

e) a DVD-R burner.

 

I've moved "macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg" in a "Desktop/10_4_3/" folder I've created

I've moved there also the content of "MaxxussAntiTPM_10.4.3_8F1111_raw.zip" patch (oah750 and oah750d) and the content of "ApplePS2Controller.kext.10.4.3_DTKx86.zip" (ApplePS2Controller.kext)

 

Open terminal.

1) cd Desktop/10_4_3/

2) hdiutil attach -owners on macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg -shadow

3) sudo rm /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750d

4) sudo cp ./oah750d /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750d

5) sudo chown root:wheel /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750d

6) sudo chmod 755 /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750d

7) sudo rm /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750

8) sudo cp ./oah750 /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750

9) sudo chown root:wheel /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750

10) sudo chmod 755 /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/usr/libexec/oah/oah750

11) sudo cp -R ./ApplePS2Controller.kext /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext

12) sudo chown root:wheel /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext

13) use mount to see where is mounted "Mac OS X Install DVD": mine was /dev/disk1s2 (only the disk number counts not the slice number, so it is /dev/disk1 that I need)

14) dd if=/dev/disk1 of=patchedimage.img bs=1m

15) hdiutil convert patchedimage.img -format UDTO -o fullypatchediso.iso

16) burn "fullypatchediso.iso.cdr" with "Disk Utility"

17) boot it

 

* EDIT: some problems with network (do not enable it!) and with the graphic chipset (usable but seems unstable...).

But I don't care 'cause I'm starting from here a 10.4.4 installation (a la MAXXUSS) on another already created partition. *
