10.4.6 post install 1st boot failure

[xevean]

panics on 1st boot after a suposedly succsessfull install

 

osx 10.4.6 jaz dvd install used.

one osx extended journaling enabled partition.

 

instalation was customized with amd enabler, 10.4.6 combo patch, sse3, amd base

 

also the panic only occurs when the install dvd is in the drive and you do a hard drive boot, when the dvd is out, a b0 error at boot occurs.

 

i also tried to install/1st boot on a dfi infinity nf4 sli mobo and problem persists.

 

system specs:

 

AMD Athlon 4400 X2 (toledo)

patriot 2x1gb 2-3-2-5 dual channel ddr400

ati x1900xt

wd 120gb ata (1200JB)

abit at8 32x 3200 xpress crossfire/dfi infinity nf4 sli

 

 

 

any help would greatly be apreciated

By "amd enabler", do you mean the "10.4.6 SemjaZa's v1.2 AMD Decrypts"?

To get rid of the b0 error, try this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844

 

Otherwise, try using these boot parameters to see if this gets past the panic:

 

platform=X86PC cpus=1 idlehalt=0

yes that would be the one

 

also i've heard that sse3 on x2 amd causes kernel panic but i've also heard that it works...and i have no idea which is the case.

 

also i did a previous dual boot setup using acronis os selecter and made the osx partition active and despite that the b0 error came up.

I get the exact same error as shown in those pics. I tried the boot args but got the same error. I also have an AMD x2 cpu, AND an ATI motherboard...possibly linked. I installed those same three options as well (amd base, sse3, and the other one...can't remember the name). Still trying to boot!

i have since got my comp working for amd x2 cpu

 

use sse2 (sse3 incompatable with os x and ath x2 cpu reason unknown)

 

DONT use ati chipset motherboards

 

i used a crossfire xpress 3200 and it recognises my cpu as 500mhz not 3ghz and audio/lan/usb2/firewire dont work.

 

however i switched motherboards with a nforce 4 sli and lan/audio/usb2/firewire work fine and it recognises my cpu as a "3 ghz amd athlon dual core"

Right i am another person that gets this error, i have activated the partition but if i try and use fdisk on the mac boot cd it brings up something called bash, how can i get fdisk to load or what are the instructions to use fdisk from bash. I will try again and use the SSE2 as i can use both of the patches, oh and by the way i am using:

My setup is:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ S939 CPU

Asrock 939 DUAL-SATA2 Motherboard

160 GB ATA HDD

80 GB IDE HDD

 

And i have installed os x to the 80 GB hard drive.

 

Also how do you use the boot parametres?

 

This is the screen i get now: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/5896/dscf0046wg7.jpg

ok to set your os x hfs partition to active load the os x install dvd

 

when the tools menu loada at the very top (after pessing next at the first prompt screen)

 

go to utilities > terminal

 

to find out the os command line name for your hard drive/partition type the following command

 

diskutils list

 

there should be a line that says something like this

 

 

hfs+ partition /dev/disk0s1

 

this is your mac os x partition

 

to set it to active type this command and note that it is case sesitive:

 

bless --device /dev/disk0s1 --setBoot --verbose

 

 

this does the exact same thing as the fdisk method however, to me, it is a much quicker, and easier way of seting your partition to active.
