aznseank Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 okay so I managed to install the mac osx 10.4.6 then upgraded to jas 10.4.8. (thanx for the help ramjet) I have my sound working (i didn't do any configuring.. it just worked) now couple things i really need help with. #1. how do i install semthex kernel? #2. how do I enable my ethernet card? #3. how can I install titan? #4. how can I correct the clock? (as in time) (from what i know, i heard its something to do with fsb, but I am so computer illiterate to a degree where i don't even know if i should set it on 100, 133, or 200) #5. why doesn't my processor speed show in mac osx? I am a complete moron when it comes to mac. I really need a step by step info. Please shed some light upon this ignoramous~!! things i have prepared semthex kernel (~8megs) titan.zip things i know.... -in order to change the stuff inside the plist, i have to copy it, paste it, then convert it into txt file then save it, rename it back to plist, and replace it with the original -same applies to kext as well (am I correct on this?) My spec. Dell m170 pentium m 2.0 (sse2) 1gb ddr2 533mhz geforce 7800grx 60gig 7200rpm (10gig partitioned for osx) broadcom 570x gigabit integrated controller p.s. if you guys help me~ I will be sure to make a step by step guide for dummies~!!!

malachi Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Aznseank, I: As far as I know, SSE2 support is still very much limited in the Semthex kernel. It may work poorly, or not at all for you. I wouldn't risk hosing your perfectly running Tiger install unless you absolutely need it. II: I'd suggest you use the forum search feature to look up "Broadcom 570x" III: Drag the Titan.kext file to your Extensions folder. Go into Terminal. sudo -s cd /system/library/extensions/ chown -R 755 * chmod -R root:wheel * Delete /system/library/extensions.kextcache and /system/library/extensions.mkext Reboot and cross your toes. IV: If you're worried solely about having a time-telling device handy, I'd suggest simply using a network time server. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best . V: The fact that you're not running a genuine Intel Mac doesn't help. Mine shows up as a 3.7 ghz Intel Core Solo, when it's actually a 2.0 ghz X2 (two cores) I wouldn't worry too much about it. I hope this helps somewhat. I'll reply with more answers to question if you have them. Sincerely, Rayd'n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BebopBlues Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I get an error "chmod: Invalid file mode: root:wheel" when I enter the command "chmod -R root:wheel *", how do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtraa Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I get an error "chmod: Invalid file mode: root:wheel" when I enter the command "chmod -R root:wheel *", how do I fix this? it is chown -R root:wheel. not chmod, like chmod -R 755.

revert Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 aznseank you need an SSE3 cpu for the Semthex kernel. You can still go ahead and try Titan, should give you res changing but no QE/CI. Just have to hang tight until SSE2 emulation is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BebopBlues Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 it is chown -R root:wheel. not chmod, like chmod -R 755. Thanks for that. I was just copying the line from the previos poster, I guess malachi made the mistake. Anyway, now my boot up sequence is stuck at the "diskard" error. How do I go into command line or shell mode so I can hopefully fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
