bobglaub Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I have: P4 3.2 with sse2 gigabyte i875 mobo ati x850xt video 2 GB ddr400 ram I used the Marklar-Tiger.dmg file. Converted it to .iso using ultraiso. I had to play around with ultraiso as it did not work flawlessly, but it did work and it wasn't hard. Next I used Alcohol 120% to burn the image to a DVD. When I booted it from the DVD it loaded the os x install window. I ran into a snag where you're supposed to select the destination drive. I had to go into Disk Utility under the Utlities menu and format the drive before it would recognize it. I clicked install and sat back and waited. About 75% of the way through the process it died and said the installation was not successful. I attempted it again and the same results, only this time I didn't have to wait so long for it to tell me it didn't work. I had noticed it died when it tried to install the file gcc 3.2 or 4.0... one of those two. So I reformatted the drive and selected the custom install, unselected the files and clicked install. It installed all the way through. When I booted it up off that hard drive it rolled me right into the Mac OS X environment, no snags, nothing. It was beautiful. I did spend about 16 hours trying to do what I just described though. But when all is said and done, the install process is almost too easy. Of course I don't have the sound working yet, but other than that i'm happy. I have a box, in my house, with windows xp and os x. What's not to be happy about?

bobglaub Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 No, I did not install any 750 patch or whatever. I forgot however to mention that I did download the generic patch from the thread they mention at the top of this page. Get that and you're all set.

Get that and you're all set. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, you 'forgot' the most important part. That patch contains the oah750d fix, among lots of other things. Go read my post in the Development forum to see some of what went into creating that patch. I didn't detail some of the steps, such as creating the packages and such.
