Radickalus Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I used Mac.OS.X.Tiger.10.4.6.X86-HOTiSO and never booted into OSX successfully. I just reinstalled and I think I may have figured it out... *crossing fingers* I guess it didn't work. I tried to copy over a file from the OSX install DVD but it could not be found. Used the tutorial from http://www.nedprod.com/Niall_stuff/MacOS%20X/index.html "11. MacOS X should now boot. However, it may fail with a kernel panic 'commpage no match on last routine'. If this happens, it's because your CPU doesn't support SSE3 and for some odd reason, the HOTiSO image above doesn't install a suitably patched kernel. If this happens, boot off the MacOS X install DVD. When you reach the installer, choose Utilities=>Terminal. Now type 'cp /mach_kernel /Volumes/Apple\ MacOS\ X/' which copies an AMD and SSE2 patched kernel (the one the installer booted from) over the one on your main system. Reboot." Any ideas on how to successfully copy the file that is being refered to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Y. Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Try the JaS ISO, or... there's a Spanish ISO too that also includes iLife and a bunch of other apps not otherwise included. It was mentioned in this forum (another sub-forum, though) and it appears to work right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepofan Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi dilnalomo and thanks for a great guide. Works like a charm. Using dualboot with the Acronis OS Selector...a tad slow but who´s in a hurry. Mac OS X 86 10.4.5 on a: /HP Pavillion 3,8 GHz INtel P4 /1GB RAM /2x250 GB SATA HDD (Mac on a 40 GB partition /nVidia Gforce 6600 @ 1280x1024 on a HP 2035 /Realtek RTL8139 10/100 LAN Running Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it runs pretty ok. Missing the sound because I have a soundblaster Audigy which is unsupported if I understand things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilnalomo Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 can you tell me which ISO did you use? i am going to add it to the list of working ISOs in the guide. thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepofan Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 can you tell me which ISO did you use? i am going to add it to the list of working ISOs in the guide. thank you! The ISO was called "osx86_10.4.5_amd-intel_sse2-3.iso" and was found on the piratebay. Filesizewise its the same size as the Myzar-ISO (10.4.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyldeice Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I was just wonderingin if there have been any confirmed instalations on an AMD processor, as I have read through I haven't seen any. I am goint to try it as soon as I get the iso downloaded and hopefully we can add one to it!!! Wish me luck, I have already crupted my MBR 2 times using the VMware method . Thanks for the great guide!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilnalomo Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 i think installing on an AMD processor is pretty much the same with the INTEL ones, all you have to do is install the AMD patched included in your OSX iso. During installation select"customize" and select the AMD patch to install it. good luck to you man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diafel Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 After a disastrous first install, everything went fairly smooth the second time (using the HOTISO release). If I have my Windows XP partition selected as Active when I boot into OSX it just goes into XP. But when I make OSX the active partion both Boot icons boot into their respective OS's. Using the Inspiron E1505/6400 I had to disable Dual Core support in order to get past the setup when I finally booted into OSX. I was able to play around in it for a little while, changed the screen resolution, but now when I try to boot back in I get a large chunk of scrolling text that shows (for example) some of the devices I have installed and indicates that some of them failed. It pretty much just stops there. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilnalomo Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 umm...did you get any error? what does it say on the screen? you probably got a kenel panic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diafel Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Well, when you boot into OSX all of a sudden comes up the technical stuff. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it included things such as Mounting local filesystems resetting IOCatalogue Matching Service count = 1 and ended with Localhost Directory service [61]: Launched version 2.1 (v353.2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitster Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I'm having troubles installing it. Im using osx86_10.4.5_amd-intel_sse2-3.iso. On a pentium 4. It gets to the "Base 1" stage of installation. But then stops saying there was an error with installation and the only thing I can do is turn off the PC. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

wyldeice Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 This is just an idea, I haven't even gotten this to work yet, but did you go to customize on the install and pick what patches you need? This is a step that I had missed in both of my previous attempts. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitster Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Yea, I made sure to pick out the patch for the intel chip. There was also a "X11 on OSX" option to install though, what is this? I tried it with and without this but it failed at the same part each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitster Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Nothing too particular. Just something like "There was an error when trying to install. Please try to reinstall" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
