cbmkgd Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 lol, where's the shut down button...lol. This reminds me of one time when I first installed Mandrake/Mandriva. After the install and some configuration-fest, it was bed-time, wanted some sleep, and proceeded to shut-down the thing... Except the closest thing to a shutdown was to log-off, which brought me back to a prompt to log-in another user. I couldn't find any way to shutdown! There was the solution in shuting down with a terminal command, but surely there must be a better/less stupid way? Very sleepy and tired of searching the how's and why's, I angrily resigned and pushed the tower's power-off button... and there it was, the nice shut-down procedure that took its time closing off any file or resource. I then remembered that I let the apic/acpi enabled, so this was the natural way to shut-down. Or something like that. So I sympathize with hamidjan, although osx at least has that apple menu from where to shutdown. When something's new and a critical installation has been done, sometimes simple things can elude us for a moment. Fortunately one can find people who can help, or we can take the time to RTFM if there's one .

sbohan Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Not really related to this thread but there seems to be some intelligent knowledgeable posters frequenting in here. I was just wondering if there is any way to restore my macs system preferences panel. Somehow I have managed to mess it up . It crashes whenever I touch the hardware panel :/ Was just wondering if there was some kind of repair feature or a shell script available.

johnmix Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Posting now from my MacIntel, "Hackintosh" I guess is the proper word. I have an ASUS P5P800 , 3.0 ghz Proc. 1.5 gig Ram. Gave the MAC about 35 gigs of HD space. I am afforded the Internet through "Flamazter's" perfect instructions on using the kext method. Logic Express works fine with my M-Audio solo. I need to ask , games like chess do not work on my system they terminate themselves. I have no idea which DVD I installed but I have OSX 10.4.6 which was an update. I will buy Intel-Mac software when it becomes available. Any Audio guru's experimenting here?? You can't return software anymore so I want to be careful.

tbart Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Successful install. Haven't yet tried dual booting as I am still in my initial Hackintosh session. Still, this is a major step. Wanted to share my installation experience getting this far. Hardware: MSI K9N Neo (nForce 550 chipset) AMD athlon X2 3800+ Corsair DDR2 2 Gigs RAM Gigabyte Geforce 7300 GS video card PS2 keyboard and mouse PATA Maxtor 80 Gig HD Settings: Jas 10.4.6 install DVD During install, under customize, selected: AMD Base system AMD SSE2 10.4.6 Semjaza decrypts (forget exact wording) Hitting upon this combination of customization options took a few installation attempts. And I am left with only 10.4.4. When I tried the same list but added Combination updates for Intel and AMD, the system wouldn't complete booting. Don't yet have much functionality - no sound, no networking - but haven't worked on that. Will post back as system evolves. I am just pleased to get through the installation and have this hardware combination actually boot. Comments?

supernov Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Successful install! Have my computer set-up to triple boot OSX, Windows and Linux...sweet. Before using this guide my problems were (in order of attempts): OSX doesn't see my partition, OSX gives the HF+ partition error. All solved by starting over and following this guide. Only thing I doubt is if the changing from logical to primary is necessary afterwards. That took me 5 hours for 79 Gb! Afterwards I had the problem that the OS selector booted Windows instead of OSX, simply solved by right-clicking on the OSX icon, properties and setting the OSX partition to active. Right, now for getting the rest to work. My set-up isn't great, am going to do a hardware-upgrade, but still OSX is running very smooth...amazing, a sign that it's programmed much more efficient compared to Windows. And the X-Window system of Linux as well btw. Hardware: - Don't know the motherboard brand anymore, sorry - Pentium-IV 1.5 Ghz, 256 K L2 cache (recognized as a 300 Mhz Pentium-IV) - Cheap 512 Mb. ram - Club3D Radeon 9600, 128 Mb - 128 Gb harddisk with Windows/OS X, 40 Gb harddisk with Linux - Logitech cordless desktop What's not working at the moment: - Networking/Internet (SiS 900 chipset) - Sound (AC97 I believe) - Low resolution of 1024x768 Bluetooth works straight away which was really nice, I use a USB dongle for that. OSX recognised my mobile phones straight away, while Windows had many problems with 1. Would like to know if I also can browse the phones instead of just syncing. Settings: - Jas 10.4.6 install DVD - During install, under customize, selected: Intel patches and SSE2 This guide should replace the original one.

Rammjet Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Those both come from the same thread, I hope I just boiled it down to the bottom line.

Rammjet Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The message isn't from OSX, it is from your computer's BIOS. It is detecting a problem with your hard drive - either a cable is loose or wrong, or the hard drive is bad.

Rammjet Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Based on your description, it sounds like your hard drive is good. Looking closer at the picture, instead of BIOS, it says Intel Boot Agent, which sounds like some special kind of boot loader. Maybe this special Intel program can't recognize a Mac disk and is giving an error.

Bra55monk3y Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hey folks, I dont know for the life of me what the hell is going on. I got the Mac.OS.X.Tiger.10.4.6.X86-HOTiSO anyway it has no less that 85 .rar archive and winrar archive files in the thing. I've must be tired because I cant figure out for the life of me what the hell to do next. I did go into winrar and disaccosciate it from .iso. the MsInfo file was useless... need a pointer.. thanks!

cbmkgd Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I did go into winrar and disaccosciate it from .iso. the MsInfo file was useless... need a pointer.. Open the nfo file in Notepad to read it (i suggest associating nfo extension with notepad or other text app). You'll have to burn the iso to dvd (if you don't use vmware install); burn with low speed to avoid burning errors. Then follow instructions given by dinalomo at beginning of thread.

Bra55monk3y Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Yup, opened the nfo file in note pad first... just info on the version and a plea for new members. There are 85 .rar and win rar files that when I look at them are ALL .iso files of between 4.68gb & 4.98gb. Im gonna download the JAS iso as it is one file and see if that works. I've never run across this before normaly there is just the .nfo file and a .rar...

hirruken Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I downloaded the myz iso file and burnt it on dvd. I partitioned my hard drive with acronis director suite and have also installed the OS selector. Yet, when I boot the cd, i CONSTANTLY hang on the grey apple twirl screen. I have done this about 6-10 times already on the computer I intend to install osx on it. at the moment, my computer is now still on the twirling screen for 10-15mins. Using OS selector's "boot from cd" doesn't work either. All i see is a MS DOS screen with an underscore symbol ( _ ) that continues to blink. Yet, the cd does not even 'boot up' It's an AMD 3200+ (venice). I also tried to boot it on my other computer (the one i am using now), intel 2.8ghz (prescott - i think). And the exact same thing happens, it hangs on the grey twirl screen. I have a feeling it is the DVD, so I am going to burn it again using the computer I am typing on now (I've had some past problems with dvd reading with dvd's burnt on the main computer to be used on another computer, yet never had problems reading it's own dvds) If anyone has any suggestions, please do! let's hope it's just a CD problem, i dont want to download another ISO =( *edit: when it hangs on both computers, the dvd drive's lights do not light up at all, and there is not hard drive activity* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11339-howto-xp-osx-1044-1048-native-dual-boot/page/29/#findComment-161219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
