PolyPill Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I've got the original 10.4.4 install cd, been wrestling with it for a while. There's a lot of miss-information out there or maybe they're just for different versions and aren't specifying. I don't have a previous install of 10.4.3 and due to my limited bandwidth I can't download a prepatched dvd, this one took me forever to get! Either way, does anyone know of an installation guide that starts with the original cd and no prior installation to get this to work, perferably in vmware. The Maxxuss guides only work with a pre-existing installation, and the ppf files like myzar's seem to only be against a pre-patched iso which I have no clue what was done to it and I can't download because they're 4+gb. Here's what I've done so far I got the dmg from the p-bay 3437718 Used Ultraiso to convert it to an iso Used TransMac 7.3 to copy in the files from Maxxuss -> iso: Prepatched_Kernels/mach_kernel.all -> mach_kernel com.apple.Boot.plist -> Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist edited System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpgk/Contents/OSInstall.dist on the iso to make the hwbeModelCheck() function return true; That's about all I've done, I figured I would at least get a boot message saying my hardware wasn't compatible, but it isn't even recognized as bootable. Can anyone give me some advice here? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11077-1044-install-guide/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockviech Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 boot with dvd until it says press enter to install ( seconds ) dont hit a key, wait until the time reaches zero and tell us what you get for an error message or while counting f8 and type -v and tell us what you get there/where it stops Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11077-1044-install-guide/#findComment-69371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolyPill Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 That's my whole problem, I don't even get that, it's like I don't even have a dvd in there. I've only tried this on vmware because I don't have a dvd writer, so I've been using Alcohol 120% to mount the image, then having vmware boot off the virtual drive. Completely unmodified does the same as modified, I mounted a windows xp iso and it booted right up, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

PolyPill Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Does anyone have any advise I can try? If I gotta download another dvd I'll probably wait until April to do that, which means I can't run osx86 until then.
