GusTowers Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I am working to get the perfect install. I have the patched Jas 10.4.8 and all is pretty much great. I keep reading though that people are installing ( from advanced options on install ) 10.4.4 login window Even with a 10.4.8 Intel Kernel etc.... this seems to be a popular install. Is there something wrong with the standard 10.4.8 login window? Is there an advantage to the 10.4.4 Login window? What dont I understand / Missing? I would love to know ASAP before the next install to start saving some time. Thanks!

wow Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 becuase the 1048 windows crashes on a 1048 install, the 1044 is the only solution. Do a search if you ant to know more.

GusTowers Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have seen no such crash on the latest 10.4.8 Jas install. Others? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38932-why-1044-login-window/#findComment-277554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 He's referring to the "About This Mac" crash. The 10.4.4 loginwindow doesn't contain as any (I believe) EFI calls (something out hacks don't handle well).

PRSubway Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) about this mac didnt run fine for me on 10.4.8. i have a athlon 3700+ and about this mac crashed the desktop when i opened it. my friend brought me a patch that he said was "hard to find on the internet" and fixed it. I probably shouldve found out what exactly it was, seeing as how since i managed to break my osx86 (different story) i cant access the file as of now...ill post what it was if i ever get it working again.

limini Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 This is diverging the topic, but are you supposed to get a login window? I used to but ever since I boot from the Darwin bootloader (using Chain0 on the XP parition), osx just starts without a login. Is this normal?

GusTowers Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 You can choose to have a login window or auto login. Go to account/user settings. I am runnning the fully patched JaS 10.4.8 AMD/INTEL version with V1 Patch. I am running it on a P5DL2-VM/C with Core 2 Duo 6300. I AM able to run "about this Mac" with no issues.

loonymonkey Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have an AMD 64 3000+. I keep getting crashes using the 10.4.4. How can I install the 10.4.8 login window ? Anyone get 10.4.4 to work with AMD chips? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38932-why-1044-login-window/#findComment-322939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 10.4.8 works fine on my intel. You most likely get crashes on 10.4.4 because it isnt decrypted and patched for AMD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38932-why-1044-login-window/#findComment-323029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I was having issues on my Intel P4 proc, 10.4.4 works. What about the 10.4.9 for those who already updated?
