Can a sse2 version of mac os x86 jas installed on a sse3 pc

[joostb]

Hi,

I have a sse3 pc, but i didn't know that when i installed mac os x86 10.4.6 jas (sse2) on my pc.

And mac will not start. Can that be because i have a sse2 version?

(sorry for my bad english i live in the netherlands)

yea it causes problems if you dont put the right patches on(either sse2 or sse3)

reinstall and click customize instead of install and pick either sse2 or sse3 patch and others needed for grahpics or network support. hope this helps

i downloaded mac os x 86 10.4.6 jas without any patches etc.

What is the right to install it. Now mac starts up and if see the mac is loading screen, then it don't respond anymore. What pathes do i need or do i have to download a sse3 version of mac os x.

You should reinstall osx86, in order to add the right patches.If you have an Intel CPU, choose INTEL SSE3 option in the customize section of the installer (right after you choose the partition where you want to install mac os x).

If you have an AMD cpu, you should choose the AMD kernel in the installer.You also have to install the decrypted binaries, depending on your CPU (the Intel or the AMD ones).

 

I assume that you installed it without choosing any kind of patches during the install process. AFAIK, you cannot obtain a working osx86 install, unless you choose the right patches during the setup.

Yes, i installed the normal installation, but now i have installed mac with the right patches but now i get an error before mac loads:

Failed to load os. I got this error before and i fixed it but i don't know how i did it.

I think it's something with the partions or mbr or something

You have to make that partition active with some software like cfdisk in linux or any other kind of software that lets you make a partition bootable (e.g. acronis disk director).

Ok i'm trying right now.

Using fdisk. let's hope it works

[joostb]

The partition is active. And one core of my dual core cpu is disabeled.

and it don't want to start.

Maybe it's the mbr, how can i reset the mbr?

[the_defiant]

Are you sure you actually wrote the partition table to the disk after setting that partition as active?

Making the partition active always fixed the issue for me.

[joostb]

It was something with the partition table i had to set something to "AF"

[the_defiant]

The partition type. Strange, it should have already been like that.
