FruitRocks Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well i read on here that this could be done as long as the pentium d processor was the dual core version. could somebody please help me with the vanilla kernel? thanks! btw its kalyway that i'm trying it on Instructions that it has: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, EM64T. How do i inject the EFI strings into the Kalyway dvd? could somebody please help me step by step? Thanks! Errors it gives me when selecting vanilla from Kalyway 10.5.2 disc: It just restarts p.s. if i can run vanilla can i run a retail mac os x disc? c'mon- nobody? please! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171958-intel-pentium-d-dual-core-and-vanilla-kernel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 All Pentium Ds are dual core. That's what the D means. But you can't use the vanilla kernel on a Pentium D CPU. Vanilla kernel only works on Core Microarchitecture CPUs. http://en.wikipedia....roarchitecture) "Pentium D" is not the same CPU as "Pentium Dual Core". Yes, it's confusing, blame Intel. It is possible to install and run vanilla OSX on systems with Pentium 4, D and M model CPUs, you just have to use another kernel. I've done it. If Kalyway is instantly rebooting pretty much the only thing you can do is change BIOS settings and/or boot flags. Here are some pointers: http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/03/bios-...hackintosh.html http://www.insanelym...showtopic=99891 If that fails, try a 10.5.6 OSx86 DVD like XxX or iPC Final - or even the new iATKOS 7, which is based on Leopard 10.5.7.

FruitRocks Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 thanks! so what you are saying is that i can use the retail mac os x disc, but i need to extract it somehow and inject a ToH or mach kernel into it? and my processor won't support direct updates from software update no matter what i do? edit: how do i know what my proccessor id info is (e.x. E500 intel core 2 duo) so i can tell if it is a dual core version?

Beerkex'd Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 No, leave the retail disc as it is. You need to use a bootloader on separate media (HDD, CD or USB flash drive) like Chameleon 2 or dfe's boot-132 that allows you to start the installation from the retail DVD but load a kernel from somewhere else. There are plenty of guides and tutorials (search). If your CPU is indeed a pre-core microarchitecture CPU, you can (no guarantees) use this to boot and install from your retail DVD: http://rapidshare.com/files/143918130/SSE2_3.iso.zip.html - just burn it to a CD-RW and follow the standard procedure for boot-132 cds (search). Software update doesn't care about what kernel or CPU you're using. If the system is running, you can use software update. Of course you still have to take precautions against Software Update overwriting the patches you are using. You can enter your computers BIOS and look at the info screens to see what CPU you have, you can use a Linux live CD, you can use CPU-z under Windows or you can open the computer, remove the CPU and id it that way. You can also look at the receipts for your hardware and if it's a prebuilt system, look it up at the manufacturers website. You can also send your computer to me, and I'll tell you what CPU it has, free of charge. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171958-intel-pentium-d-dual-core-and-vanilla-kernel/#findComment-1184228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitRocks Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 i'll try the boot-132 disc first, and then try loading a kernel from another disc if boot-132 fails. how do i burn a kernel? this is the part that i always get lost at that part do you add it to a certain boot-132 directory after you burn it to a cd? or use transmac or something?

Beerkex'd Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 In short, all you you need to do is tell the bootloader where the kernel you want to use is. I think it can be on any drive attached to the system that the bootloader can access, but it's easiest if it's at the root of the drive you're trying to boot from. Yes, you could use transmac or macdrive to place a kernel at the root of your hard drive. But try the Boot CD first and let me know if it works for you.

FruitRocks Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Nope if I use the sse2 boot cd it gives me ebios errors and if I use the regular one it loads then screen turns black. It is the mac os x server disc, which may be giving me problems. Does it have to be the 9a51 image or whatever it's called?

toldor Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 i have the same processor and i am always using the kalyway- or jas-dvd. you can try the boot-option "-legacy" for kalyway.

Beerkex'd Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 i have the same processor Maybe you don't. He still didn't say if he has a "Pentium D".. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_D ..or a "Pentium Dual Core". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core There's a world of difference.

daftswimmer Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I have a Pentium D 940 at 3.2 Ghz, just downloaded the boot thingy and trying it now. Fingers crossed everybody. If not, looks like I am making a CPU upgrade.
