waiting for root.. aftyer good install 10.4.8 sse3 intel SOLVED (for me anyway)

[MtheG]

Hello all

 

I know a lot of users have the still waiting for after they did a clean install.

I did all possible with switching masters and slaves but without succes.

 

Out of frustration I installed 10.4.3 wesley again wich went fine and no problem what so ever.

 

I booted again from the 10.4.8 DVD and installed only the combo upgrade without any kernel patch.

 

After this all went fine no waiting for root anymore and to my surprise with the new kernel 8.8.1.

I installed Natit drivers for dual display Nvidia 2xdvi to vga (wich proofs it is the new kernel) and I have a perfect working system with dual monitor setup.

 

I am HAPPY.

 

USB works great to the only thing giving trouble is about this mac and I am going to try to install the repair patch for it 10.4.4.

 

I hope this can help anyone with the same problem.

Jas if you are reading this.

The reason I tried it threw an upgrade was that I noticed that with madrive that a lot of files where missing from the clean install (or I could not see them).

Also I think that a lot of people like myself installed the combo update and the semthex kernel patch thinking it it to get and the update and the new kernel (maybe stupid but users always are :-) )

 

Thanks for all your work.
