7210211 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) my install process went very well very smoothly.. it was fast and there wasnt any graphical issues that i got with the old JaS 10.4.7(and 10.4.6) installs i finished installing and i am purly amazed at the difference between this and all previous releases for AMD it worked perfectly! video and everything (SSE3!) RAM and Video card was recogized only thing was it only show one CPU instead of 2... anyone know how to fix that?

spikeh Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 If you do get SAM Multimedia or Still Waiting for Root Device errors, I suggest changing the DVD media, DVD burner, update the firmware and/or the drive you booted from. For some strange uncomprehensible reason, my DVD-RW refused to read the very disc it burned, so I had to add in a backup drive to install OS X. But, it's all working great now.

iMäcen Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Security Update 2006-007 (Intel) and Security Update 2006-008 (Universal) isn't included in this release. Is it "safe" to download updates with this hacked 10.4.8 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I don't see how it is a "ghetto CPU" seeing as it has been used in all recently released products up until the Core range for mobile CPUs. Intel Pentium M is SSE2 but is by no means an outdated CPU... Technically the whole Pentium line is outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAkira Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 **NEWS UPDATE!!! I have successfully installed the OSX86 10.4.8 bt TubGirl. Works awesome with QE/CI on GeForce 7900 GT KO (PCI-E). Boots perfect with no problems and runs on CRT monitor at 1280x1024. Now the question... How do I move it to other display? And it will it crash at native res. Other monitor is Dell WFP2007 (i think) It is a 20.1" widescreen dell display. Native Res on it is 1650x1080. How can I use this instad of CRT. Or how can I use both. Also. if it goes out of range or glitces, how d i boot to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
