jedah Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I've searched the forums and the wiki to a great extent, but have found nothing regarding this issue, or relatively close. ok, so I downloaded JaS's 4.6 DVD, but when trying to boot, I get as far as something along the lines of "superdrive has no kernel dependency" (honestly, I got so frustrated that I quit awhile back and can't recall exactly what it read) and that's it. the install works fine, but I cannot get it to start no matter what. I've tried applying all applicable patches and without to no avail laptop - sony vaio vgn-fj170 Pentium M 740 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K16D I've seen success with other vaio laptops in the wiki with similar specifications, but I still cannot get this to work no matter how many times I try. if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears on this one.

Guest BuildSmart Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 de-select everything that says AMD, select Intel SSE2, GMA900 and the OS update.

Rammjet Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 the install works fine, but I cannot get it to start no matter what.I've tried applying all applicable patches and without to no avail Right beside the "Install" button that you clicked to initiate the installation, there is a "Customize" button that you must first click. Then click the little arrow beside the "patches" item. There you will find the items that BuildSmart suggested above.

jedah Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks, but I've tried with and without applying patches and still the same effect. I need the SSE2 patch, so I left that, and the GMA patch, I've done with and without. Those are the only two that I can recall right now, but I've spent two nights trying every combination that my patience will allow, AMD obviously excluded each time.

wondergod Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 have you tried a different install disc? Maybe your pc is a fan of Myzar and doesn't like JaS.

jedah Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Yeah, I've grabbed about three of them because I initially thought that Myzar's was a bad burn (this was before I learned of the whole external vga issue), so I went with JaS and followed the guide posted on this forum covering what might have gone wrong to no avail. It just seems to logically follow (to me, at any rate), that if it can install, it should then run, right? Thanks for your help in all of this because I've spent since about May researching these issues on and off and I'm at a complete loss.

jedah Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 I gave it another shot today trying as all of you suggested, just in case I did screw up last time, and it's still the same. Thanks for taking your time to help me, but I guess I'll just have to start saving up for that Macbook Pro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25222-i-am-bad-at-creating-topic-titles/#findComment-170974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedah Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 ok, I gave it another shot with myzar's DVD (with options including: we stole it sucker! script [enabled]; amd enabler [disabled]; and the 10.4.5 update [enabled]) and this is as far as I get - and I paraphrase: USBF: blah blah timestamp AppleUSBUHC[some hex {censored}] :: UIMCheckForTimeouts - Host controller halted, resetting and that's it everything goes swimmingly up until that point. though, at times it will stop at the reverse dns style com.apple.driver.pioneersuperdrive has no kernel dependency searching for any of these terms results in nothing that's close (USB returns a lot of results on its own) and I'm just still stumped it's so close, I can taste it ar ;( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25222-i-am-bad-at-creating-topic-titles/#findComment-181129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondergod Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 sounds like it doesn't like your disc drive...could you use another one to install?
