10.4.7 Working Perfectly Thanks!

[tsun]

Thanks to all the posts and information on this forum, i was able to install 10.4.6 and update to 10.4.7 without any hic-ups. This is my first install and was able to get my Shuttle marvell drivers, macvidia, and update information all from the forums.. Great minds here and very excited to start using the system.

 

The only problem however is that i can not properly reboot. I click reboot, then it goes to the lovely 'circular timer thing' and just sits ... infinitely

 

I can however just punch the reboot button on my case and that works, just an interesting problem.. anyone have an easy fix?

 

Thanks again!!

Have a look to the search here....

 

there is a kernel_hack, yoou have to edit some hex-code, it is not really difficulty.

Use the little 0xED-Programm (Google), and edit the mach_kernel on your System.

 

It works...

U can fix Restart problem like this (100% success)

(From "tokyovigilante" member)

 

1. Open a terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal).

 

2. Type the following:

 

cp /mach_kernel ~/Desktop/mach_kernel
cp /mach_kernel ~/Desktop/mach_kernel_noacpi

 

 

3. Download this: 0xED.

 

4. Install it and run it.

 

5. Click File -> open by path.

 

6. Enter the path: /Volumes/<your root disk here>/<your username here>/Desktop/mach_kernel

 

7. You will see the kernel in hex.

 

8. Click in the box labelled offset. Type 8D2B8

 

9. The cursor will move to the correct line.

 

10. Find the letters EB FE 90 90

 

11. Replace them with B0 FE E6 64

 

12. Save and exit

 

13. Go back to the terminal

 

14. Type:

 

sudo cp ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /

<type your password>

 

 

Now type

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

The boot plist file will open. Find the section <string></string> and insert Platform=ACPI so the line looks like this:

<string>Platform=ACPI</string>

 

Save and exit by pushing Ctrl+X then Y.

 

15. Now shutdown your computer. When you have restarted it, the shutdown and restart options should both work.

 

GOOD LUCK!
