CraigularB Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm having some trouble installing 10.4.8. I'm pretty sure it's the JaS 10.4.8 disc (I borrowed it from a friend who had already downloaded it), because I can see JaS 10.4.8 install packages with MacDrive when I put the disc in while running Windows. Only problem is, when I boot from the DVD and hit "Enter" to get into setup, my computer goes black for a sec and then reboots. It doesn't even get to the blue screen with the loading icon. Just "Enter"->Black->BIOS messages and reboot. I know my hardware supports it because I'm currently dual-booting a working 10.4.5 installation. ^^ My current specs I'm not sure what to try....Maybe if I downloaded the disc from where one of you got a working one? I have DVD+RWs, so if it doesn't work I can just erase it and try a different one. Thanks! -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcmtest Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Is it JaS.10.4.8.SSE3.Intel.Only.iso? If so, you get the answer from it's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigularB Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 pcmtest- I can't be 100% positive; he didn't write the whole name out on the disc he gave me... After looking through the optional packages again, however, I can't find anything that has AMD in it. So I wouldn't be surprised if it is an Intel-only disc. So, I guess that's that. Though, I have a question about the combo update. I'm trying to get the 10.4.8 Combo for AMDs w/ SSE3 that JaS made, and I was wondering if I need to burn it to a disc, or can I just run it from inside OSX straight from the HDD? Thanks much for the fast reply! -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 The Jas 10.4.8 AMD SSE3 is a update and should be installed from the file, no need to burn it unless you want to save it. The update is old kernel and JaS has not made a AMD new kernel DVD. There is a new kernel AMD DVD. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry237156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-prompt Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 There is no full working dvd for amd 10.4.8 from JaS yet. You would need a previously working install then you could use the combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
