Quake3Crash Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 go to next post I have installed iDeneb 1.3 (10.5.5) when it starts.. i use the option -x and the gray apple flashes shortly and then my computer blinks off and restarts. I installed it with the nVidia drivers and the Intel Pro 100 wired ethernet driver... I also use the ICH fix to make sure since I have an Intel board.. Here are my Hardware specs and info: Specification Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.40GHz Instruction sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, EM64T Mainboard Vendor Intel Corporation Mainboard Model D915PBL Chipset Northbridge Intel i915P/i915G rev. 00 Southbridge Intel 82801FB (ICH6) rev. 03 Video Card Video Card nVidia 7600 GT I've tried many installs and the gray apple and then my computer suddenly restarting is as far as I've got.. are there any suggestion to make the work? I'm really looking forward to trying this out edit: Also the -V options spits out a bunch of console text VERY fast so I cant read the text when it enters -V, but it does the same thing at the end of the text... just goes off and restarts. go to next post Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142680-ideneb-post-installation-registration-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quake3Crash Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Does anybody have any solutions? If nobody knows anything at least tell me this... do I stand a chance of getting 10.5 Leopard working? If not, do I stand a chance of installing 10.4 Tiger and getting that to work? edit: keep in mind that I can edit and re-arrange files on a HFS partition from another OS and will using one of the modified kernels increase my chances? I tried another install and this time I added one of the custom kernels (StageXNU) and it worked!! I booted up.. get to the registration screen... and it's stuck at the registration after I click "Don't Transfer my Information". the GUI just starts working... then goes away.... and goes back to the first Mac screen where I select my language and keyboard layout.. it's stuck in a loop there and I'm wondering how do I fix it?

Justin R. Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I'm not quite sure where I found this information originally, but whoever posted it gets the credit. Start up with the -v -s flags from the loader. Then type: fsck -fy mount -uw passwd root touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone Then login using the root account and the password you just set up. From there, you can add a new user to log in with from there on out. Hopes this helps.

Quake3Crash Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanks for the help Justin... I searched around the forums and also ran across that.. (I really appreciate your post) tried it and I got in as admin and then made a regular account... problem now is... I cant connect it to the internet. I have a Intel Pro V 100 Ethernet adapter and I installed the kext with the install disc... is there any way I can get my ethernet ports working so I can get it on the internet.. everything else seems to be working so far but the video seems laggy... but its a hackintosh and I dont expect it to be fully 3D accelerated. (nVidia 7600 GT) Since I skipped the configuration process, does the kext I installed still matter? I really appreciate everyone's help on this forum. The problem now is me connecting to the internet Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142680-ideneb-post-installation-registration-issue/#findComment-1014390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin R. Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I have the same network adapter, and I found that I had to install the kext again from OS X after the install to get it to work, just make sure you repair permissions after you install it. Or, alternatively, install the kext with the app OSX86 Tools that came on the install DVD.

Quake3Crash Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 is their any way to install it without me starting all over? I tried this post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=25477 not the first post but the post made several pages later in that thread by vakakush where he posts a driver and I tried that but it failed even though I got the ethernet option. how do i install the apps without overwriting my current install? I apologize as macs are completely exotic to me and I havent touched them in over a decade. (especially since I'm pounding it together) edit: I tried repairing the permissions on the files I installed (from the tutorial link I posted) but those didnt do it.. I'm going to see how this disc works more.
