johnnytluxury Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Ive been trying to install JaS 10.4.6, and with many attempts and repeated failures, I think Im gonna try another build. I also have HOTiso's version, but the custom options seemed more limited. Is Goatsecx better? I do realize most of them have the same basic features, but is there subtle differences that makes one stand out?

Marc Connor Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I recommend Goatsecx. It's really great. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19702-1046-builds-jas-goatsecx-hotiso/#findComment-129295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpam Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I recommend Goat sex. It's really great. Just to let you know, the HOTiSO 10.4.6, is unfortunately a bit-for-bit rip of JaS' 10.4.6.

bluedragon1971 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Just to let you know, you are wrong! I tried both. The one I downloaded the other day that was labeled HotISO was identical to the JaS 10.4.6 version I've had for a while now. Kinda mad that I wasted the time downloading it.

JaS Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 yes hotiso 10.4.6 is the same bit for bit and has the same MD5 as my 10.4.6 install dvd without ppf1 applied Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19702-1046-builds-jas-goatsecx-hotiso/#findComment-130249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0mputerNick Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Havnet tried Jas's version, but the Goatsecx 10.4.6 version was the first one that didnt give me the "waiting for root device" error and actually let me install OS X on my laptop.

eric.c.mi Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 HotISO 10.4.6 Installed like a champ for me following the guide in the wiki.

buttcheeks Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm in the middle of experimenting with parallels on my hackintosh. In order to install it, it needs 4.6. I've been running 4.5, which has been very stable. I wanted to put 4.6 on a separate drive to keep things cool, but was having a bugger of a time with the Jas disk. What finally worked was installing from a 10.4.4/5 disk, rebooting (after repairing permissions, of course) and then installing the 4.6 update. I choose "custom" and the "intel" option. Up and running. I'm running a 945GNT board with a lowly celeron. Looks like parallels with be up soon. Windoz is loading (what a turd of an uploader, got baby sit everything!)

asapreta Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I had some trouble with my HD and will reinstall X. Since the first X I installed I used JaS patched ones. But now it seems that for RADEON users (like me) its better to use Myzar 10.4.5 patched with JaS update to 10.4.6. Is this correct?

zbandito Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 What's the correct md5 for Hotiso? Is it the same for JaS? What is the correct md5 for Goatsecx? Thanks!

Auggie Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Same thing needed here! Just finished downloading JaS' 10.4.6 (JaS, I am posting from your 10.4.3 build right now -- you're a God...) and I want to check MD5 sum before I install... though to be honest I will probably try an install before I get a verified sum anyway! I googled for it and only got the 10.4.5 upgrade sum. Here is the MD5 that the copy of JaS's 10.4.6 OS X gave me with an MD5 summer: 5c88e09705ebde2baf1bf19832bdd37a I'll let you know tomorrow morning after install how it goes, and if it works for me with that MD5! Thanks again JaS! I wish I could code just a LITTLE bit and was as smart as you so I could contribute... I hate taking all of your guys' patches and using them without giving back... (best I can do right now is seed for a few days) I hate using everything you put out there that is so good and never being able to help solve remaining problems because of my lack of knowledge! I wish I could contribute :-\ Thanks, I'll update in a few hours...

Auggie Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Ok so here's the deal, I think my disc was good, and my MD5 sum was valid --- IF I had to give a guess. I can't be sure, because I had some issues, but I think that was because I'm on a HP DV1440 notebook, and it's not shown as compatible in the wiki's. Anyway, the DVD booted up fine and loaded without any trouble. It installed without flaw, and I did all the correct patches... After finishing installation, everything was good -- with external monitor. BUT I had no core or quartz. Anyway, after letting it have some uptime to test stability, I went for a restart to test it out. On reboot it said some boot error or something before I got into Darwin or OS X at all even. Never heard of it actually, anyway went for fresh new install with a variation on the patches... this time it requested manual reboot after completion of install. I was timid to do it because of my last install... but spotlight would not work (just kept flashing weird... system preferences wouldn't open... it just kept failing). So I said ok and rebooted, and got identical error as first time, a two word error like bt err or something weird on a black screen. Tried to go back to 10.4.3 by JaS as it is supported and it worked for me fine first time... but failed with only blue screen on boot, even with external monitor and everything. (Installing XP right now ) Not sure what happened, but I think my machine is just not on the compat. list. In conclusion, my machine doesn't seem to be ok for it, but the MD5 sum I listed in above post seems to be valid. Hope that helps!

zbandito Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've got the same MD5 for my image of 10.4.6, but I haven't gotten the install booting yet. Since I have a SSE3 capable AMD^2 I have been trying with the SSE3 patched kernel and I have yet to try with the SSE2 patched kernel as suggested above, but it sounds like that kernel has performance issues and, AFAIK, SSE2 patched kernels require applications to be patched. Does this image have a different kernel than 10.4.4? I have an install DVD with 10.4.4 kernel and 10.4.5 Userland which works on my system, can I use that kernel instead of a SSE2 kernel? With JaS 10.4.6 I can get it installed under VMware using -x platform=X86PC , then I can get it booting native after fixing the b0 error using fdisk, but I get a kernel panic on boot, divide by 0 error...

Auggie Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 @zbandito: sorry I can't help you at all, but what is the b0 error? That is the same error I got as well... what is that? And how exactly do I fix that? Just curious, I'm under XP right now but still want to learn if you want to share. Thanks.

And how exactly do I fix that? Just curious, I'm under XP right now but still want to learn if you want to share. Thanks. That is the error that occurs if the OS X partition is not set as active and you try to boot from it. The simple solution is to use a partition editing program to set the partition as active. You can use several different methods, most of which you can find in the various topics about this error.
