theKid Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi all, I need some help with an installation... I have a legit version of 10.4.4 that came with an iMac (intel ) , a copy of the autopatcher, m's patches and the boot loader files... I have tried following guides published around the net but to no avail. I have tried patching the image on my PowerBook with the autopatcher, creating a custom iso with maxxuss' files inserted into it, booting of a darwin cd and trying to boot os x from that, formatting the HD of the PC from my mac and using OSInstall.dist to copy files across - i think thats about it </rant> The closest I have got is after patching the dmg with the autopatcher and booting from it; "Your hardware config is not supported by Darwin/x86 blah blah blah Am really stuck - what do I need to do? Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12635-1044-install-dvd-what-am-i-doing-wrong/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dponmac Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 posting your hardware specs could get the ball rolling.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12635-1044-install-dvd-what-am-i-doing-wrong/#findComment-80471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKid Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 OK, here goes - will be great to be able to do this in Apple System Profiler!!! Pentium 4 Northwood SSE2 2.20 GHz Realtek RTL8139 PCI NIC NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX400 graphics PS/2 mouse and keyboard + a usb mouse and keyboard Maxtor HD Gigabyte motherboard - not too sure what model I think that the autopatcher leaves out the sse2 patches? Ideally it would be best to make a bootable dvd, rather than install the OS from my mac. cheers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12635-1044-install-dvd-what-am-i-doing-wrong/#findComment-80642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKid Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 OK, running nicely now, after a quick trip to them IRC Channel. What alot of guides do not state is that your dvd drive must have recent(ish) firmware. Doh. In the end I installed a self-patched version of 10.4.4 from my PowerBook - I might post some stuff as to how I managed this if anyone needs.

Yes please - I know I'm new here, but I have a 10.4.5 install DVD and I'm having a heckuva time figuring out how to modify it. Also, if it's possible to translate the instructions to Linux (as I don't currently have a working install of OS X with room for an install DVD), that'd be even better.
