Dragon Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 embio, have you managed to get it loaded yet? i am having some problems with video display for qemu. can you test it just to make sure that it works so i know that it's a problem with my pc and not OS X. i'm trying to fix this problem... i'll post the video Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37193-x86-version-of-102/page/6/#findComment-274072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 literally just trying this right now mate. I'm having display problems booting from the 10.4.7 DVD. It took me a while to figure Qemu and its settings out. booting from the DVD crashes at the apple screen, so I tried Verbose mode and got a white screen. Then FeatherLinux crashed... we're both doing this with 256MB of RAM right? I think its a RAM issue because I tried using less and Darwin refused to boot, I'm trying to find out what FeatherLinux is taking up, is there anyway we can strip it down more?

Dragon Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 I figured OS X can't use the video drivers vmware provides when running under qemu. so we can't use vmware for testing. i'm still getting that kdp_poll error on my p3 when i boot os x in qemu after taking out all usb devices and my wireless card, so can you give it a try embio and post your results? the attached files are from vmware, and a similar thing happens on my p3 except the text still appears amongst the coloured mess. I'm almost certain it's a problem with the video because osx detects the same graphics device in vmware as it does in my p3. I'm going to try plug in the radeon 9250 from this pc. Edit: didn't mean to attach the smaller file, the bigger one has both videos in them. knoppixqemu.rar knoppixqemu.rar Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37193-x86-version-of-102/page/6/#findComment-274103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embio Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) its the same ATI 7000 in my sig. I only have the DVD to hand, and torrents are blocked at my uni. I'm going to try running FeatherLinux from the CD, to give as much of the RAM to OS X as possible.

Dragon Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 do you have the deadmoo image? this looks interesting : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine it's included with sabayon livecd aswell.

Embio Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) no. A mate of mine whos in my class has it so I can get it tomorrow. I was reading about the KVM the other day on OSnews, looks fascinating. Would be even lighter than Qemu Edited January 12, 2007 by Embio Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37193-x86-version-of-102/page/6/#findComment-274123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 ok im grabbing stuffit expander for those RAR files you sent. getting interesting here, booted Feather Linux from the CD and ran the DVD in Qemu, verbose mode crashes at 'Starting Darwi_' as opposed to 'Starting Darwin x86' so thats progress lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37193-x86-version-of-102/page/6/#findComment-274131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 we'll probably going to need at least 512mb ram for it to run properly anyway. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37193-x86-version-of-102/page/6/#findComment-274140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 yeah agreed, I need to buy some RAM for my Power Mac when it arrives anyway so I can throw it into my Athlon first. do you have any lying around?

Embio Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) I have like 9 or 10 128MB sticks, but no 256MBs. I honestly think its a RAM issue with Darwin. I tried watching the videos but Quicktime wouldnt play the AVIs :S Edited January 12, 2007 by Embio Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37193-x86-version-of-102/page/6/#findComment-274148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
