hey guys.

 

i patched the markler image with Generic_OSx86_Install_DVD_Patcher_Release1.rar, burned the dvd+rw ( ;)), but if i try to install the installation loops with error:

touch: /var/run/installer: Read only file system

 

What could this error means?

 

Hardware Specs:

athlon xp 1800+

ati 9800 pro

768mb ddr ram

2 hdd's - 1 x windows, 1 x unformatted

 

thx

Simple answer: You cannot install on a SSE processor, and the Athlon XP is a SSE processor.

 

Long answer: The commands for kexts and ATS/something else are failing with "Illegal instruction" because of the lack of SSE2. The kext services (or something else from /etc/rc.cdrom) are needed to create the ramdisk for /var, which it can't. Therefore, touch tries to write to the DVD's /var, which is mount read-only.

 

Even if you did it get it to write, it would only fail later because of more things that cause "Illegal instruction" errors.
