DigitalK Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Well, after much dicking around I got everything to work. I spent a day working on the old vmware image 6 gig thing...man did that suck. I downloaded the 10.4.7 build as thats what I found. Now I see there is a 10.4.8, that includes the 8.8.1 kernel. I really want to upgrade tot his to use some of the patches and such that are out and about on these forums. I did search, but there is so much to dig through I didn't really find what I needed. I am downloading the jas.mac.os.x.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.PPF.1.Integrated jas file. Can I just burn this to a dvd and upgrade? I tried just upgrading via the update on download but I got a kernel panic and had to reinstall. What are your guys's thoughts to my getting up to date? Thanks... specs sony vaio pentium D dual 2.0 Intel Board sigmatel audio (this is the cause of all this needing to upgrade) geforce 7600 (also not working) intel onboard video GMA thanks!!!!

DigitalK Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 I would rather have just a yes or no answer to my question... but thank you It seems the "file" I need to download is dead in this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=33342 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40790-hey-guys-n00b-hereupgrading-question/#findComment-291710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) You should just install off the new DVD. If you have problems installing, disable one cpu core with cpus=1. Choose the Nvidia package in customize and you will have support for your 7600. After the first boot, delete Natit if you don't use dual monitors and be sure to edit GeForce.kext, NVDAResman.kext and NVDANV40Hal.kext to show only your dev id http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=251855 Edited February 2, 2007 by joe75 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40790-hey-guys-n00b-hereupgrading-question/#findComment-291722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalK Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 I get a continuous "coreservesd crashed". IT starts running the crashdump list right after the blue screen w/ cursor comes up. then it pops back to "dos" and just floods....It just keeps going forever and ever, and then eventually says proc: table is full. I get this problem with updating the kernel and with a fresh install of it via DVD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40790-hey-guys-n00b-hereupgrading-question/#findComment-293132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
