the_z Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 ok I I just got JaS.10.4.8.SSE3.Intel.Only.iso. I used disk utility and put the image on it. I then insterted it into my windows machine and it starts up asking me if I want to install x86. then it states its loading darwin then it flashes starting then reboots. Thats as far as i get. I also turned off HT in my bios. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33197-now-what/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_z Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 As it appears it seems like it's getting stuck on mach_kernel.mifki when booting. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33197-now-what/#findComment-234418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 There was an older 10.4.8 JaS DVD that got corrupted and he pulled the torrent. But some idiots reposted it anyway. Be sure you got "MAC OS X 10.4.8 Intel Only Jas re-seed (SSE3 Only - NO AMD)" posted Nov. 3, 2006. There should be no mach_kernel.mifki error since the DVD boots only mach_kernel which is the one from Semthex. The mach_kernel.mifki is on the DVD but it takes a special command to force it to be used. Instead of hitting "any key" to start the installation, hit F8. At the command line, type: -v cpus=1 then hit Enter. You should see a bunch of messages on the screen. What messages does it display when it hangs or what errors does it display?

psionic68 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Make sure you have SSE3. One of my PC's has HT but the CPU is a Northwood and not a Prescott and the same symptom you describe happens to me. The same DVD works OK on another PC which has a proper SSE3 CPU.

Rammjet Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 The kernel on the JaS 10.4.8 install DVD is not compatible with VMWare. Newer kernels are compatible. When booting the DVD native (not VMWare), try the mifki kernel. When the DVD asks to hit any key or F8, then hit F8 and type: mach_kernel.mifki Also, try re-burning your DVD at the slowest speed possible.
