Ezhoon Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Oh lord, I think I'm going crazy. I've repeated the process 4 times using Vitaliy's kernel and still cannot pass the "bluescreen with working cursor" hang. This is what I did: A fresh install with 10.4.6 Jas DVD (I have no more the 10.4.4 DVD, I threw it away ) with NO hacks installed. Then applied the official 10.4.8 Combo update from Apple. Then copied the new kernel, the SMBIOS kext, fixed owner and permissions... and still no go! WTF I am doing wrong??? I see everybody else is enjoying the new kernel! I've read Jas talking about copying the "10.4.8 decrypts" to get this baby working, but I swear I've tried hard and I cannot find such a thing. What I did was to put the rd2rd.kext into the Extensions folder which obviously didn't work. Please help!! I really want to use Vitaliy's instead Semthex's. I have the feeling that is the right choice for my setup (D945GNTL, Pentium D 830). I am having the exact same problem..maybe not exactly same but very close..mine just restarts I wonder if those successfully installed also used this "10.4.8 decrypts"?

What I did was to put the rd2rd.kext into the Extensions folder which obviously didn't work. The decrypts are needed for Semthex's kernel after compilation. Vitaliy's kernel has r2d2 built in. Your problem might be one of video. Or you might try starting in verbose mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get into single user mode. Have exactly the same problem. Installed on a separate partition, using JaS 10.4.6 (without patches) + Apple 10.4.8 Combo update. Then put new kernel and AppleSMBIOS (from 10.4.8 main installation). Asrock Conroe945-DVI + Core2Duo E6300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From single user mode (-s): mount -uw / diskutil repairPermissions / cd /System/Library rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache <-- for good measure reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopamine Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi, Congratulations you all on this fine achievement. I;m a rookie at this so forgive me my dumb question but where do i put the new mach_kernel and how do i do that. It seems everyone knows but i think i'm missing something.

aberracus Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 One big question Core Duo 2 has SEE4 do Vitaly compile it with an Core Duo 2 ? so really its an SEE4 kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'm almost there. Did a fresh install of Jas 10.4.7 (combo update & SSE3 selected). Booted that and installed apple's 10.4.8 intel update (Don't press restart!). Copied Vitaliy's kernel to / and SMBos to /System/Library/Extensions . Rebooted. Select -s , /sbin/fsck -fy , /sbin/mount -uw / then diskutil repairPermissions / That just took ages (I gave it 15 mins) and nothing. Got out of it with Ctrl - z and rebooted. The white apple screen lasted loads longer, then screen went black and rebooted. Had a look at forum, and from Vitaliy's earlier post did a -f -x got it to boot to GUI safe mode. Did a disk utility - repair permissions and rebooted - again. Here I am, uname -a showing a 4.8 kernel, I'm downloading Boris 3.2 for my x1800. Only problem so far is 'About this Mac' logs me out. I'm hoping the gfx sorts that out - now to check my xbench.... Good luck everyone, and many thanks JaS & Vitaliy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meisterk Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 FOA, thanks for the great work! Will singe user mode work with AMD SSE3? What is needed to make it work under AMD? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 No luck - Boris 3.2 doesn't work, had to deinstall. Any one got any ideas? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Neo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 No luck - Boris 3.2 doesn't work, had to deinstall. Any one got any ideas? Andy (Insanely is very slow at this time) Yep, I have an idea but I have to get my system running first! My problem is that it loads the drivers and then it just reboots! my hardware is a conroe e6400 a asrock conroe945g-dvi and a X1600... its a fresh install of os x.4.4 with combo update 10.4.8!

The Baron Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Cheers Neo - once I installed, on the restart I got past the white screen, the 'Starting OS X' bar got all the way along and it just hung, I had to restart. I'm on Asus P5WD2 Premium, Celeron 331 @ 2.66 and a sapphire x1800 gto, worked perfectly with your installer on my previous install. If you need any testing doing, let me know.

~Neo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I will come out with a beta, but the first thing is - like I said - to bring my OS X running! If anyone could help me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck everyone, and many thanks JaS & Vitaliy I did quite all you said, but repaired permissions BEFORE rebooting after copying the necessary files. But the same problem of About This Mac happens here and no Boris 3.2 or 3.3 worked, I think they also messed my system, no ATI kexts are on EXTENSIONS FOLDER!!!!!

bonald Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I had 10.4.7 jas on my i945 toshiba laptop. Installed 10.4.8 by installing apple combo update and putting mach_kernel and the kext over it. Ive removed extesions cache and repaired permissions using the install cd. But my laptop hangs after the grey apple. It stops at the blue screen. I don't have a cursor. -x -f does the same thing. I tried enabling/disabling NX in the bios, no luck. What can I do ? Thanks.

JaS Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 My problem with Vitality's kernel hanging at the blue screen was that r2d2 was not working to decrypt the binaries for the gui to run,using the decrypted binaries with his kernel,and all is well.GIU and all.

Proteo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Jas, this is exactly the point I was trying to get cleared. What exactly these "decrypted binaries" are? do you mean semjaza's 10.4.7 decrypts? the hacked AppleSMBIOS.kext? r2d2.kext? New 10.4.8 decrypts not publicly available yet? I'd really appreciate your kind help. This thing is driving me nuts, I just slept for 4 hours, and my girl is starting to get pissed of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 So when the smoke clears will we have a 10.4.8 install with a LEGAL 10.4.8 kernel? I guess the SSE2 and SSE3 restrictions still apply? So what does this do compared to the old hacked kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
