I downloaded the JaS 10.4.8 (8.8.1) DVD from the torrent.

 

My MD5 on the ISO is the same as everybody else's:

36463658aff360345550fd6245645831

 

The first time I booted off the DVD and tried the installer and got the error that several others got. The installer died immediately after verifying the disk and said there was an error with the installer and only gave me the option to restart. It did this no matter which kernel I chose. I poked around a little bit and turned on HPET in my BIOS.

 

I booted off the DVD again and chose the mifki kernel. The install went through without a problem. Upon reboot I reinstalled the ATi driver from installers.dl.am. Everything is now working perfectly. I'm not sure why everybody is having so much trouble with this. I even updated iTunes to see if that would kill it like others had reported. Everything's still working.

Hi... any other observations??? i am planing to use this dvd and wipe out my 10.4.4 kerne with my intel 945gnt mobo and Pentium D 930 CPU..

 

I think mifki kernel is good on this board with HPET enable... maybe most problem arises on the semtext kernel as most have issues... what do you think??

How do you enable HPET in the BIOS, xp3nd4bl3? I have the same board but can't see it?!

 

I am having exactly the same prolem where the disc will not install after it verifies the disc - it simply gives me an error and asks me to restart.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks,

4GHz CPU

2GB RAM

and only 135 benchmark??

man ,this is really not fantastic blv me

 

4 GHZ is not the real speed. ATM shows that speed for all Pentium D processors (I have 830, and it's reported to be 4 GHZ). I think that 135 points is not bad at all, since he's running the disk test. Without it, it should raise above 150, which is in the range of many Core Duos.

 

I'd say it's pretty good.

I think it was inside the "Chipset Features" menu. Give it a try.

I used this method, too, and my system seems to be working great.

 

Here's what I did:

 

Used the 10.4.7 DVD (10.4.4 + 10.4.7 patches) to erase and format the drive.

 

Turned on HPET in BIOS - in the end it looks like my system is booting through semthex anyway, so I don't know if I really needed to.

 

Re-burned the 'corrupted' DVD at 4x - the 16x kept failing during install.

 

Installed mifki - didn't load.

Installed semthex - install successful.

 

Installed Ati x1xxx patch ver.3.5 - QE/CI/Rotation now work -still no DVI

 

Did the fix for System Profiler - replacing the two files with the older working ones.

 

iCal seems to work fine.

 

Updated Quicktime and iTunes, everything still works.

 

Installed the realtek patch for my onboard LAN - works now as PCI Ethernet Slot

 

Installed drivers for older serial port WACOM tablet - works fine

 

People have been mentioning Keynote and Pages. Both seem to load fine on my box.

What's still NOT working

- ALC888 audio - but USB soundsticks and firewire camcorder and mic do the job for the time being.

- Texas Instruments based wireless PCI card.

- DVI

 

Anything I'm missing? What other things should I be testing?

 

The big key for me, I think, was burning the CD slower.
