Elf Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hi all! Great forum and nice to know that we are all getting there... slowly but surely! Anyway, I was able to accomplish a TRIPPLE BOOT (yeah you read correctly) with my notebook: IBM Thinkpad T40p 1.6MHZ Pentium M- 1GB RAM - 60GB DISK I followed the instructions and made a 6.8GB partition and installed OSX 10.4.3 successfully! All working, graphics, sound and wired network. I created another 13GB bootable partition and went ahead an installed OSX 10.4.4. I *CAN* boot with either one of these OSes, BUT.... Ok ok... I am a n00b at Mac OS X.... and I have STILL have this ONLY issue: My wired network is not working after 10.4.4 installation. I have an Intel pro 1000 adapter. How do I fix this? If anyone knows, please give me some precise instructions... Btw, Is version 10.4.4 or even 10.4.5 worth to upgrade over version 10.4.3? I want to pick a nice stable version and go go ahead and install, Office, Photoshop and antivirus... Please advise... Cheers! Elf.

antrunix Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Acronis OS Selector will manage it for you... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10951-done-tripple-boot-xp-osx-1043-osx-1044-but/#findComment-68719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elf Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 antrunix, I made a typo. I CAN boot with either of the 3 OSes. Yes, you guessed it right. I am using Acronis. What I need to know: 1) How do I made my Intel Pro 1000 network card work in version 10.4.4 ? 2) How could I copy the network config/driver from version 10.4.3 to 10.4.4 ? 3) Is version 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 better than version 10.4.3 ?

Tim Johnson Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I too have the networking problems in 10.4.4; seems like it isn't recognizing my network card (probably because Apple stripped out all drivers except the ones it needs for the iMac). I've heard that you can copy the IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.3 to fix the problem, but I haven't tried it yet. As to booting the two Mac partitions (how'd you install 10.4.4 without booting into 10.4.3?), use some bootloader like Acronis or GRUB or the Windows XP chain0 trick. (see the wiki). Lastly, as to the stability of 10.4.4 over 10.4.3, I can't comment personally as I went straight from 10.4.1 to 10.4.4 without using 10.4.3 very much, but it seems like 10.4.4 would be the best choice since that is a full, final release by Apple.

Elf Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hi! I solved the the networking: Copied my working IONetworkingGeneral.kext from 10.4.3 to 10.4.4. Voila! I have no issues with tripple booting. Using Acronis. Cheers!
