semthex Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 You are really seeling your Notebook at eBay cause it didn't succeded with hackintosh yet? Hmm I am sure the issue will be solved soon (as long as I finally get the new parts and can put dev1 back up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2LMan Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well, the thing is Semthex, I go to school and can get a discount with Apple. If I sell my notebook for $1400, I can turn around and get a Macbook Pro for about $1600. I figured why not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semthex Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ah ok, a sucessful switch to "real" hardware, nice Hmm i am paralyzed a bit, will setup a new DEV box tomorrow but the hardware damage hit me hard. Another box will be rebuild as Nebu Dev system, so dev can go on again. I want to finish the SSE2 now. If anyone wants to support me with getting Dev 1 back working or in general, feel free to donate some bucks, it helps the development very much. New hardware for Dev 1 will be abig investment, if turns out CPU is really borked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultravista Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Is SSE2 support still in development? I'm up to 10.48 on a Intel SSE2 based PC with the 8.4.1 Kernel. Is there a newer one? ----------- Darwin administrators-computer.local 8.4.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.4.1: Tue Jan 3 18:23:53 PST 2006; root:xnu-792.7.90.obj~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semthex Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yes it is but as I said, currently a bit handicapped due to hardware damages I try to build a new dev system of another box tomorrow and go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultravista Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Thanks for the reply semthex! One question ... I recently upgraded from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 via the JAS Intel only SSE2 upgrade. After the upgrade & reboot, the OS logs in but I am faced with the spinning rainbow wheel. It never goes away and I cannot use the system. When booting safe however, the machine responds correctly and does not have the same error. I installed nothing else other than the SSE2 update and I've done this before on the same machine without the same issue. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathdude1284 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 the jas update is not an actual 10.4.8 kernel. it is still using the 10.4.4 kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2LMan Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sold! My notebook sold for $1399.99 and I will be buying a 15" Macbook Pro for $1300!!! Now the real fun begins! I will still be sure to check up on these forums. Great to know all of you! Semthex, JaS, Mifki, I will miss you all!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessant Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 hello I have a problem with all kernel newer than that included in JAS 10.4.8 SS3 reseed (semthex). When I update the kernel with live-update script or downloading it manually (and after set permissions) my computer won't boot anymore, it restarts continuosly and I have to start with "F8/mach_kernel.old" trick. I tried with latest.zip kernel and with kernel on IRC #kernel My computer specs are: Asrock 775Dual VSTA Core 2 Duo E6300 1Gb RAM DDR400 Nvidia 6800 GT Is there a method to know why it restarts? Because also if I start with new kernel with -x -v options I can't see nothing because it restart immediately. Thanks in advance nessant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asapreta Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 hi all. I've just used PRASYS tool (script command) to update Semthex Kernel and got this: Machine Name: Mac Machine Model: ACPI Processor Speed: 3.74 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 1 Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz Serial Number: Number Sales Order Number: tem Serial Number L2 Cache: 2 MB As I got a Pentium D, how can I enable the second CPU? I've tried cpus=2 on comnand line after F8 but no luck. Have I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semthex Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Try without the "s", but remember core != cpu :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asapreta Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 What a SHAME!!! Will try and send feedback. EDIT> Just tested and didn't work. After the F8 I entered: cpu=2 -v and got the same cpu=1 core=1 at System Profiler. <EDIT Is there any place that OSX puts a log of the boot? Because, just at the beggining there is a message of 2 parts of the CPU/CORES disabled, that may help! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
