drolevar Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hi! I've installed subj as follows: 1. Part/Primary - Win/NTFS 2. Part/Primary - MacOS 3. Extended Installation goes just fine, but at the end I see this gray glowing circle and the system doesn't restart. I've used Reset. Then the system boots just fine, I tried installing Picasa package, it hung up. I tried installing any other package, it also stopped responding. When I restarted it (it also stopped responding while shutting down), I see lots of the following messages: AppleFWOHCI_AsyncTransmit::waitForDMA - context not going inactive I mean hundreds of them and nothing happens. Then the message Still waiting for root device appears And that's the end. When I've reinstalled the system, I saw lots of waitForDMA messages during the first boot, and any installation failed complaining it cannot write to the disk. What can be the problem? During the installation I use the following packages: 1. INTEL SSE3 2. AMD Decrypts 3. VIA SATA P.S. I used the image: Mac-OS-X-10.4.7-AMD.Intel-(JaS)-ISO-Repack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkip Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I just installed JaS 10.4.7 as well on the same motherboard and found the same issue, second boot results in - 'waiting for root device' etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolevar Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 darkip Do you run 10.4.5? Is it OK? I found out that my distro contains the followind packages: 10.4.6.AMD.Decrypts.pkg 10.4.7.GMA900.Support.pkg 10.4.7.Intel.SSE2.pkg 10.4.7.Intel.SSE3.pkg AMD.Kernel.pkg AMD.Radeon.Laptop.pkg ATI.ATA.pkg JaS.10.4.7.AMD.Combo.Update.pkg JaS.10.4.7.Combo.Update.pkg JaS.10.4.7.Radeon.Xseries.Support.pkg Nforce.Fix.pkg But somehow instead of seeing two packages: JaS.10.4.7.AMD.Combo.Update.pkg JaS.10.4.7.Combo.Update.pkg i see only the latter. Also, can anyone tell me where the list of the packages displayed during installation is stored? And how does the installer decide whether to display some package?

JaS Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Umm What is this ? 1. INTEL SSE3 <--- this system will never boot into the desktop mix and matching cpu type patches. 2. AMD Decrypts 3. VIA SATA It might be your firewire.disable it in the bios and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolevar Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yes, but I have no AMD SSE3 patch available. Also I don't see a choice for JaS 10.4.7 AMD Combo Update (as I mentioned above). Maybe I've got the wrong distro. Could you recommend the best OSX distro for my configuration?

RiceTea Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Perhaps someone could reseed the original 10.4.7 Jas - the demons removed it as far as I know. Umm What is this ? 1.

drolevar Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 SammyOSX86 Did it include everything needed for an AMD platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Perhaps someone could reseed the original 10.4.7 Jas - the demons removed it as far as I know. There is an iso repack still on Demon. It is the original .dmg distribution expanded to an .iso and then .rar compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolevar Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 If it is Mac-OS-X-10.4.7-AMD.Intel-(JaS)-ISO-Repack then it's what I have. I've downloaded it from there. But I the support of AMD there is unclear for me. I've got the troubles mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Select the AMD 10.4.7 Combo Update and the AMD Kernel. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=4499 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolevar Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 And NO INTEL.SSE3 and VIA.Sata.ATA? Also, is it needed to perform some additional postinstall action (like restoring permissions, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 And NO INTEL.SSE3 and VIA.Sata.ATA? You can select the Via Sata ATA. But the Intel SSE3 is for, uhhh, Intel. It will crash your system. The AMD kernel has what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drolevar Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 OK, I somehow made it working, doing something like here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...ATA_hard_drives Not to mention that running it on VMWare screwed up my Windows installation... But now I have problem with the Installer. When I run any .pkg or .mpkg file the installer just hangs up. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukaniko Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 go to Utils, right click installer click get info, tick open with rosetta that will fix the installer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolevar Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 loukaniko This could be fixed by just running the AMD_Enabler patch. No rosetta. Search in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukaniko Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 either way works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
