rasmits Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I installed JaS OS 10.4.7 on a seperate drive, and it boots fine in VMWare. But when I try to boot natively from that drive I get a "no smoking"-like sign. What could cause this? Please help.

macgirl Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Did you try -s or -x options at boot? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36676-boots-in-vmware-but-not-natively/#findComment-261085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasmits Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) Did you try -s or -x options at boot?I just tried both, and it seems as though I'm getting the dreaded 'still waiting for root device' error that forced me to install with VMWare in the first place... I thought if I could install it then it'd be fine, but I guess not. Any suggestions? This is probably a common problem with a wide-range of causes, but I'd still really like some help... Thank you. I've got my HDD plugged in as Master on IDE 1. I also tried IDE 2. edit: In fact, I've tried every jumper setting in every IDE position, and I get the same result.

macgirl Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Which is the chipset of your motherboard? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36676-boots-in-vmware-but-not-natively/#findComment-261207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasmits Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 It's a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36676-boots-in-vmware-but-not-natively/#findComment-261293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 That is your processor not the chipset, the chipset is the maker of the NorthBridge and SouthBridge (if it has) of your MotherBoard. The chipset handle memory, disks, devices. See this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northbridge_(computing) It is important to know which is, then we can tell you which driver/kext you can add or modify.

rasmits Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) According to this website, my computer has a "SiS651" chipset. Does that sound about right?

rasmits Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) I did but there is currently no fix for a SiS 651. Although, there is a group of people working on it, which is good.

angus.myers Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 could anyone help me then? i have the same problem i can install in VMWare but when it comes to native i just get a load of writing mentioning ACPI Drivers and the computer telling me to restart. Please help. I see you need to know my chipset according to cpu-z it is "Intel 845GE" hope this is enough information.

macgirl Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Your case is different, rasmits has 'still waiting for root device' error (a kext needed to see the Disk Controller). You have a Panic, which is caused by a several conditions, we need to see what the Panic Error says.

Antro Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi all, wondering if anyone could help me with a simular problem I am having. Rig: Athlon X2 4200+ on Asus M2V motherboard with VIA chipset. Nvidia 256mb graphics PCI-E x16 Maxtor 120gb hdd - Windows Xp with VMWare Maxtor 80gb hdd - For Mac Tiger When booting off the Jas 10.4.6 DVD i am faced with the restart message in 4 different languages, which im presuming is a kernel panic of some description. To get around it I installed through VMWare onto the harddrive with what seemed like sucess, as it ran in VMWare but not natitivly. It still hangs after trying to use all -x -s and -v startup modes. Kernel version is 8.4.1. Any help or a point in the right direction would be great. Can create a seperate partition with mac through VMWare if any kexts need editing etc, but have no knowledge of mac or using terminal although will give anything a try to get it working. Thanks in advance, Jamie. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36676-boots-in-vmware-but-not-natively/#findComment-263814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antro Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Just to add to the last post, the full chipset is VIA K8T900. Also tried custom install with and without the SSE3 options but still with no luck. Antro.

angus.myers Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 i have a picture of what i get when i boot up native (it missed of a part of the top section,(my CPU does have SSE2,thats what was cut off) if you need it just ask.) If you need anymore information please do not hesitate to ask. Thankyou for you time!

Antro Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 @ Angus Does your cpu also have SSE3? I previouslly had an Athlon 3500+ single core with SSE2 and it ran mac os fine, although usb and lan didnt work without modification, it still booted up.

angus.myers Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 My CPU doesn't have SSE3, should it (i thought SSE2 was the minimum) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36676-boots-in-vmware-but-not-natively/#findComment-264944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antro Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yeah i think SSE2 is the minimum and my old athlon ran fine with it, but my new x2 with SSE3 doesnt seem to want to play, even with the patches installed damn new rig!

navrose Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I have the same problem, 10.4.7 works fine in vmware but doesn't boot natively. I tried many things but no use, it just stops after apic info. hardware specs: Intel D946GZIS mobo Pentium D 3.4 Ghz 945 seagate sata hard disk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36676-boots-in-vmware-but-not-natively/#findComment-265093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus.myers Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 navrose can i ask what is the manufacturer of your pc (if there is one) and if you can visit Test ACPI and tell us what your ACPI Version is. As me and Matthew-N are trying to figure this out and we think it may be a compatability issue, and the sooner we diagnose the problem the sooner someone can begin to fix it.

macgirl Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 My Opty never worked with the SSE3 8.4.1 kernel natively, only in VMware. SSE2 could work but you need a SSE2 kernel.

angus.myers Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) so you think that my download of the OS could be the problem? I downloaded the JAS 10.4.7 Repack. So what might i need to do to get it working and get this kernel???

Antro Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 My Athlon X2 4200 has both SSE2 and SSE3, on a custom install, should I install the patches for both, or only SSE3? Thanks.
