Kallis Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi, I downloaded MacOSX_10.4.8DVD AMD SSE3 TEST 1 and burned it to a dvd. Both the torrent and the cd was checked and was 100%. I installed Acronis Disc Director and rebooted. The installer wouldn't start, because of a SAM-multimedia error. I am completely sure this has something to do with my system, not with a corrupted burn. The reason for this is that I had the same problem with 10.4.6 which I got working with some work, but can't remember how. I think I used VmWare. So this problem can probably be ignored. Therefore I restarted and tried VmWare. I set it up properly and installed OS X without errors. I selected Norwegian, no printer drivers and NV40-fix(titan?). I then quit VmWare and rebooted. I selected "Unknown OS" in Acronis OS Selector and the Darwin text appeared. It then loaded a lot of kext, and switched "textmode" to the mode where the text is smaller and smoother. Then I got a kernel panic. It launched crashreporter and the last line that appeared before the pc hang completly, was the line with the version of the kernel(it had sempthex in it). I then tried to boot in VmWare. There I only get "Still Waiting For Root Device". What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotoh Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 did you try booting with -s flag ? What's your hardware ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallis Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Shall try that now. My hardware is a Shuttle SN25P(nforce 4), AMD Athlon 3500+ Venice SSE3, Hitatchi 250GB sata disk, Maxtor 110GB(which I installed it on) and a Nvidia 6600GT.

Kallis Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Damn. It didn't work. I took a picture of the panic. Note that this is the only I see in that "textmode". Nothing is before it(or atleast nothing I can see). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is before it(or atleast nothing I can see). Boot off your DVD again, then go into the terminal, and remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext from your kext folder, then reboot.

Rammjet Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Boot off your DVD again, then go into the terminal, and remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext from your kext folder, then reboot. cd "/Volumes/(name-of-your-OSX-partition)/System/Library/Extensions" rm -rf AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext cd "/Volumes/(name-of-your-OSX-partition)/System/Library" <--- fixed rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache Reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallis Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thanks! Unfortunately, I can't remove Extensions.mkext because of "Read-only file system". Strangely, it worked with removing the other things. I have to go to bed now, and will try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Try booting with -v -s and run the command at the prompt mount -uw / This should give you read write access (f you were able to get to the prompt in the first place) After the drive is mounted, follow Rammjets guide.

Kallis Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 I got an error when trying that bikedude880 because "the device is write locked". Eighter it is trying to write to my sata-disk(should be impossible since I only selected my IDE-disk in VmWare) or to the install dvd, which of course is read-only. http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/3738/fileka2.jpg My OS X partition is called "OS X" with a space in it. Could that be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallis Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 ARG! I simply cannot delete it. Am I doing something wrong? To make it easier to help, here are screenshots from each step I take: 1. 2. 3. 3,5. 4. Does point 3,5 indicate that it is trying to read from the wrong hd? Or what is wrong? I still get the same error after a reboot to native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 cd "/Volumes/(name-of-your-OSX-partition)/System/Library/Extensions" rm -rf AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext cd "/Volumes/(name-of-your-OSX-partition)/System/Library" <-- fixed rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache Reboot Thanks! Unfortunately, I can't remove Extensions.mkext because of "Read-only file system". Strangely, it worked with removing the other things Sorry, my error, I fixed the above. If you successfully performed the first 2 steps before, start on step 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallis Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Thanks, but it does not appear to be working. I still get a panic with the same kext(that I should have deleted). Are you sure that nothing is wrong at step 3,5? For me, it looks like it is booting disk1s3 while it my OS X partition is disk0s2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 First time I had you remove files at /Systems/Library. This path ends up on your DVD which is read only I changed it to "/Volumes/(your-OSX-partition)/System/Library" which is on your OSX partition. You must use the quotes if your partition name has a space in it. Are you sure that nothing is wrong at step 3,5? There are only 4 lines of commands: Line 1 moves you to Extensions folder Line 2 deletes Powermanagement kext Line 3 moves to Library folder Line 4 deletes 2 cache files and then you reboot. Note: these commands work from Terminal when booted from install DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzar Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Reinstall it from scratch and don't deselect the whole osx86 package while you check the nv40 one. To make it short the osx86 hack group should report a size of atleast 224mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallis Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Wohoo! Thanks! It worked on first try after install! And it is blazingly fast too! Now I only got to install drivers for network and sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
