shiNikaRu Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Using the JaS 10.4.7 DVD, I installed with all patches to my PATA drive. I boot into it, it gets past the Darwin bootloader, and then a whole lot of white text on black background diagnostic looking messages. Nothing really sticks out there that I can see but I haven't read it all. Anyways, the final stage I get it to boot to is a blank screen with lines of various widths placed on it. It resembles a barcode. It seems to be in different orientation upon each try. What should I do? I've been dreaming of getting OSX up and running on my PC!

Guest bikedude880 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Using the JaS 10.4.7 DVD, I installed with all patches to my PATA drive. ... What should I do? For starters you should only install the patches that you need (10.4.7 Update, AMD patches [sSE2 or SSE3 only, not both]). Those should be enogh to get you up and running smoothly. Once the core of the system works, then you can focus on the problem components (Graphics, Ethernet, etc...) EDIT: You are going to have a hell of a time with that motherboard. The nForce4 chipset is highly problematic with OS X. There are some threads around here that deal with the LAN and PATA features, though.

joe75 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 You have to install 10.4.5 to work with your ATi 850 or go new kernel 10.4.8 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37393-1047-booting-up-into-a-barcode-like-screen-after-install/#findComment-266287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiNikaRu Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 Aww, okay, well I've been trying to download 1048 for a while now. I have no idea how to integrate different kernels or drivers into install dvds or anything. Is there anyway I can do something like that?

joe75 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 You should have no problems installing 10.4.5 and you can add whatever .kexts you need from there. After you're set up stable, you can do whatever you want Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37393-1047-booting-up-into-a-barcode-like-screen-after-install/#findComment-266293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiNikaRu Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have more progress on the 1048 download. That will work too right? Also, whats the deal with my proc and SSE? On the wiki, I see that 10.4.3 did not support SSE3 with my CPU but "worked with SSE2 patch only". Is this fixed in 10.4.8?

joe75 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 You should have no problems with 10.4.8 on a PATA drive but you will not have full support for video card and you will have to see if you have to disable a core of your cpu. You should be able to use both cores and you will have 1024x768 or 800x600 until you install Callisto.

shiNikaRu Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 well, as long as I can get into the system to perform certain installs/modifications, I'll be happy. I can't do anything with what I have right now. I suppose I'll figure that out once 1048 finishes then.

shiNikaRu Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) I installed the 1048 AMD SSE3 update and I am now up and running on OS X! BUT! I have no internet connectivity, I am limited to 1024x768 like you said, and my second monitor doesn't work as it should(or I don't know how to set it up) What is Callisto, and how can I get it without internet connectivity/where can I download it if you can help me with my internet connectivity? edit: Plus, my keyboard and mouse don't work. I have a cheap Sony keyboard and an Intellimouse 4.0. Both on PS/2 I am using an old iMac keyboard and a wireless version of the Intellimouse and they work. Both on USB edit again: alright! Posting from OSX... I threw in a Linksys PCI enet card Edited January 2, 2007 by shiNikaRu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37393-1047-booting-up-into-a-barcode-like-screen-after-install/#findComment-266812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiNikaRu Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Alot of things happened. I tried installing Natit for my dual screens. Cauesd kernel panic. Used uninstall script in -s. Tried installing it again. Kernel Panic. Uninstalled again. Then, it would not boot at all. So I tried reinstalling... first 10.4.7, then 10.4.8 AMD Update. Now it doesn't work at all... If I boot without verbose and it actually gets passed the terminal-like start, I can get to a barcode screen again! This time though, some of the lines are colored! Perhaps it has something to do with patches? Why would 1 install work and then not work again?
