klapi Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi, heres my experience with Mac OS X 10.4.4: I burned the .iso onto a DVD and instead of patching the iso, I decided to patch the mach_kernel instead, as described on maxxuss' website. Then i boot to the DVD and install the unpatched Mac OS X 10.4.4, and when that was done and it rebooted, I was welcomed by the "Welcome"-movie (the Tiger presentation) followed by some "console" text saying the login window started, then the same presentation ran once again, followed once again by "login window starting" and so on and on and on in an endless loop. Specs: AMD 64 (SSE2) Here's a link to the crash log generated by Mac OS X: http://klapi.dk/Setup Assistant.crash.log Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Klapi Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10866-help-with-1044-login-crash/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackyyy Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 - Get the AMD_Enabler folder in the root directory - Boot up the partition using flag '-s' cd /AMD_Enabler chmod 755 patcher ./patcher cpuid_patches.txt | tee result.txt | less - Check that most of the files have been patched (some won't, but that's normal) -Reboot -> OSX should boot up normally...

klapi Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Thanks for the great reply. I have a big problem tho...: "0 of 91 visited files were successfully patched. 0 of 368 found patches were successfully applied." The problem for all the processes were: Cannot open file. I did chmod the patcher, but somehow it sounds like its a problem related to CHMOD'ing any thoughts?

gabemcg Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 hello I'm having the same problem with the login window... I tried what was suggested above, and detirmined that the AMD_Enabler is not in the root directory... My question is, how do I get it there? I'm a unix noob, so I don't know what commands to use... any help is appreciated.

klapi Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 it was included on the unpatched iso i got. do you have more than one OS at the computer? windows for instance? then download macdrive demo and put the AMD_Enabler into root via My Computer. The AMD_Enabler is at Maxxuss' website Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10866-help-with-1044-login-crash/#findComment-68299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabemcg Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I do have windows on my PC, it is on a seperate hard drive than Mac OS... I downloaded Macdrive, it sees the drive that OSX is installed on when I go to: Tools>Create or Change Mac Disk, and I can "create" a mac disk, but it does not show up in My Computer... I can see the drive in windows diskpart, but it reads as an unknown partition type... and will not show up in my computer... thanks for the help, and please advise to other options, perhaps a way of getting the files from a cd or dvd to the root directory using commands following the -s boot option? thanks again...

I can see the drive in windows diskpart, but it reads as an unknown partition type... and will not show up in my computer... You're not suppose to select Create or Change Mac Disk, instead, open "Getting Started with MacDrive 6" and select "View Mac disks in My Computer". please advise to other options, perhaps a way of getting the files from a cd or dvd to the root directory using commands following the -s boot option? I'm not sure if other volumes (CD, Other HDD, USB) is loaded at the point, but you could try with: when in localhost:/ type cd .. and then type ls and hit enter (L S, not i S). This is from my own recon, so it might be wrong. Otherwise, try cd /volumes/ and make a ls again, maybe that will show your volumes and then you can type cd <name of the volume> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10866-help-with-1044-login-crash/#findComment-68523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viral Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Okay, I did a little research. AMD_Enabler is working correctly to my beleif, BUT! The files it's attempting to write to are SYSTEM FILES and are READ ONLY, I tried to chmod 777 it, but it wont work cus the file is a SYSTEM FILE and is read only... So if anyone has an idea, that would be great! =3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10866-help-with-1044-login-crash/#findComment-84219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunlade Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 When in single user mode the whole partition is set to Read Only as far as I remember. With my own testing, this seems to be the case (do a CHMOD and you get an error saying that the drive is read only even though its the HD i just installed on). So I suppose a better question is, how do you allow write access in single user mode EDIT: and to answer that... seems : mount -uw / Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10866-help-with-1044-login-crash/#findComment-89675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
