Slaughterfest Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Guess what, you are... WRONG... See, I waited... and I read the text in detail... All I got was a "has no kernel dependecy" error. Then, after half an hour, all it displayed was "waiting for root drive." Now will someone give me some real help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rik Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hello everyone! Really thanks for the guide. Yesterday I successfully installed Mac OS X on my PC. Here are the specs: Intel Pentium 4(Prescott) 2.4 Ghz with SSE3 Asus P4P800 SE motherboard ATI Radeon 9200 SE Mac-OS-X-10.4.7-AMD.Intel-(JaS)-ISO-Repack image I had the same problem listed here Post#527. I just followed the instructions and everthing went fine. Had to install the ethernet card driver Marvell 88E8001 driver. Nothing more to do than following the instructions. I am not the only person using this computer so I would like the dual boot to be as hidden as possible and WinXP beeing the default OS. I tried the so called "chain0" method, but I am unable to find the chain0 file(I looked in /usr/standalone/i386, but there is only a file in the folder called boot.efi). For now I setup Acronis OS Selector to boot by default to WinXP and show the menu only if Esc is pressed. But I really want to get rid of Acronis OS Selector, so does anyone knows where I can find this famous chain0 file? Thanks... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughterfest Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 It is obvious you are not talking to me, as I am not having trouble with the boot loader, as anyone smart enough to go back a page and read supporting detail would be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilleftw Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 At this point you should use the disk utility to select a disk or disk partition (It's on the menu bar along the top of the screen outside of the setup menu). The drive will be greyed out in the disk utility panel - you have to erase it in the Mac journaled format. I'm sure that part is in the instructions at the beginning. If for some reason it doesn't install - try the ISO I used on my AMD 64 3000+ (mentioned yesterday). But it sounds like you simply haven't followed the detailed instructions quite right from the beginning of this thread. Good luck. Neither of my HDD's showed up in that Disk Utility thing, was trying to say that but forgot some sentenses -.- Now I've used this program called VMware Workstation, followed every step. Found my HDD's in the disk utility, erased it in the Mac Journaled format as it says in the guide, the install started, and finally finished. Rebooted, and then my comp said that the partition were.. {censored}ed in some way. Can not get it to work, so damn frustrating. Cannot belive that im not able to make this work, disapointed with myself :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the ISO I recommended a few days ago - mine didn't work with the JAS 10.4.8 thats knocking around, but now with the OSX_AMD_1048_FINAL iso it works sweet, and as your'e running AMD why not give it ago. You're gonna get probs like this as there are so many hardware configurations out there (unlike Macs). Just got to keep trying until you find one that works.

bjbakker Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Got it to work. 1. followed the manual 2. after install, deactivated os selector with disk created with "bootable media builder". now windows could start again, i got an mbr error before. 3. installed os selector again in windows. 4. added the OsX-partition as another bootable partition in os selector (still windows) everything worked like a charme.

DjOktave Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ok, so I have followed the steps and everything is working pretty good now... well, I created the partition with linux, but oh well... Anywho, I have my DVD burnt but I cant figure out how to boot from it. Never seems to work. I changed DOS setting, tweaked with things, tried a lot of stuff... It just won't boot. I used "macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.iso" to burn the DVD... Got it from PirateBay Anyones else with this problem, anyone else with success with this image? Also, I have gotten OSX 10.4.1 running by its self on my computer before using deadmoo's image. But I decided I wanted to upgrade and duel boot.

preachercrash Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) I have success. Mine was on a Toshiba Satellite laptop (A55-S106). A little old, I know. I used Jas 10.4.8 DVD. I had to copy the IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.6 over the one that came on the DVD to enable LAN networking (worked INSTANTLY on next boot after copying it over and repairing disk permissions). I still don't have internal wi-fi card working yet. UPDATE--INTERNAL WI-FI ALSO WORKS NOW!!! Took some major surfing, but I found the following guide (I know there are others that say basically the same thing, but THIS got it working for me). Guide to get Atheros AR5005G working in 10.4.8 The thing is, my Dev ID starts with 2 zeroes. 001D If you leave those in when editing .kext files, it won't work. This person's example showed me I should leave the leading zeroes off. Also, configure your Airport with "Internet Connect." Doing it through "Network Preferences" got me a password incorrect error every time, despite having the right PW. Sound worked off the bat, as did touch pad. Strange thing though is after the install, the system hangs at the gray apple screen. So, I booted off the DVD again, clicked everything again (now it's called 'upgrade' instead of 'install.') If you let it upgrade, then it will boot just fine. However, it will make itself the default boot partition, not going to Acronis selector. Use the guide that tells you to boot of the DVD, use the terminal to fdisk your partitions and set your Windows partition active. Reboot. Then it'll take you to windows where you can re-activate the OS Selector. After that, the system dual boots perfectly. I know, a lot of strange steps. But the approach still works. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the same way with the same results. Anyone know how to get the wireless networking working on this laptop? It's reported in Windows XP as an Atheros AR5005G.

Narker Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hey guys, I'm on OSX 10.4.8 right now after following this tutorial, so I guess you can count me as a success. I have a: 6800GS 256MB AGP Intel Prescott 3.2 GHZ 2 GB Corsair XMS at 2-3-3-6 ONE LITTLE PROBLEM THOUGH I can't get back into Windows. The brushed metal is cool, but I want an operating system that can run more than a little under 10 Apple-developed programs back. When I reboot, there is no option asking me which OS I want to boot into, it will just say "SOMETHIGN KERNEL" really fast, and then it boots into OSX. I put in the OSX install disc again, and Acronis asks me if I want to boot from it. I say no by pressing F8, which takes me to the volumes to boot from, and ONLY JAS' OSX IS THERE! NO XP! I followed the steps exactly, except for the fact that I installed with Primary first. While in OSX, I can see everything in my Windows partition, yet it wont boot from there!

Macfan14 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I got a problem here, OS X takes too long to load the setup (verbose mode) and when it finishes loading the installer, all i get is a stupid blue screen with a mouse cursor in the top left corner that doesn't move when i use the mouse. It worked the first time, but never worked after that. I really want this on my laptop andwould really appreciate it if someone provided some assistance.

pu_rplecow Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Okay, A little slow here but.. I've gotten it running on my computer and I thought I should say so to contribute back to this comunity of incredible people. Here's my hardware specs Its a little different since mine is an Asus A8Jc. but basically, core 2 duo 1.7ghz, 1 gb ram, 90gb hdd with xp and openSuSE on other partitions (just playing around). I'm trying to get the wireless to work, hopefully will post here with the mac OS soon! edit: okay, never mind.. My wireless card (Intel 3945ABG) is not support.. *cries* just too bad for me then!

daxleet Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Excellent guide, but I encountered an issue. I installed it, with SSE3, and booted up, and it goes to 'Darwin loader', shows a bunch of scrolling text, then everything fades away except this text. After like 15 seconds, it reboots my machine. It never gets passed that. Thanks guys, and great job on this whole thing. I hope you can help me.
