njolakoski Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I looked around the site, searched around and couldnt find anything. Can I get a simple guide or something? Do I run it like a normal boot up disk, like Windows would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaS Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Burn the iso with nero or some other app and boot it like any other install dvd. When you get to the installer go to the bar along the top and pic the utilities menu then click on disk utility. You will see your dvd drive and your hard disk drive in the left side of the utility. Click the disk and pick partition, and partition the drive in Mac OS X Extended (Journalized). Prepairing the disk this way will allow it to show as a destination later on in the install. Once disk utility is done partitioning the drive,close disk utility. Now go through the installer setup and select your partitioned hard disk to install os x onto when asked. Now when it says to click install .. to the left it says Customize. Select this choice and it will bring up a list of patches and packages to install. Read the patches to see if they match any of your hardware. If any do then select them. Once you have everything selected click install. Skip the disk check when it starts. The rest of the installation is automated. You might have to hard reboot the system after the install. I think that covers the installation. Good luck.

njolakoski Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I only have one hard drive with a WinXP on it, do you recommend doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzer Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) i don't find a lot of 10.4.7 guides (i think). perhaps it was skipped to 10.4.8? i managed to install jas 10.4.7 on my system which is: amd athlon64 3000+ (939, venice) DFI nforce4 msi 6600gt pcie sata 120gb (dual boot with xp with acronis) network working with forcedeth kext no support for QE & CI yet (is there or will there be any?) when i boot up osx, i get a lot of lines after pressing enter on the boot: prompt. is that normal? "about this mac" is problematic. trying to solve that with some solutions in this forum. will update on that. i also get frequent freeze when i was browsing with safari. freeze as in no respond from osx, only the mouse is moving. can't click on anything. is there certain kext i need to remove? or i can just leave them as is? i was thinking bout removing ATI kexts since i got nvidia geforce on. UPDATE: oh well, problems just got worst. after several restarts, it's now showing "still waiting for root device". it comes after osx is trying to process nforce4 ATA kext or something. there's no ATA hdd in my box. i installed 10.4.7 to SATA. retrying to install 10.4.7. or maybe i'll have more luck with 10.4.8?

witzer Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 managed to install again. this time i'm only using the 10.4.7 combo update for AMD. the problems mentioned above which is i'm getting a lot of lines upon booting up, is now gone. can't explain why. all i did was omit the AMD kernel update selection during custom installation. i didn't get the boot prompt as well, when booting up osx, i go straight to the apple logo and the spinning wheel below it and enter osx desktop immediately. i've tried AMD enabler. "about this mac" problem also solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
