SpeedfreaK Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 hello, I have a perfectly working 10.4.6 JaS installation. I've tried several ways to upgrade to 10.4.8, but none succeeded. I did a clean install, i upgraded with the dvd, i installed the 10.4.4 login window... I use the 10.4.8 SSE2/SSE3 dvd (JaS). And every time i get a kernel panic, and when i boot in -v mode, the pc hangs at the 'couldn't read user-specified computer name; using default Macintosh name ..... ' line. Can someon help me? (system specs are in my signature) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44140-help-make-my-machine-1048/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

fOZf8 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I was running 10.4.6 JaS and simply copied the entire 'packages' folder off of the jas 10.4.8 dvd onto my desktop, ran the OSInstaller out of there, rebooted (twice) and repaired disk permissions and all was good. My 7800GT finally has QE and CI! I don't reccomend this method as being the best way to do it, but nothing else worked for me either, so...backed everything important up and went for it =]] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44140-help-make-my-machine-1048/#findComment-315757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedfreaK Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 aah, {censored} that egwan patch is for sse3 only and i have sse2, stupid computer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44140-help-make-my-machine-1048/#findComment-316241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Not sure if this works on SSE2 or not, never had a chance to test it out but this is what i used on my desktop. Will upgrade from 10.4.4 on. The Paulicat Method Also might want to check out this forum: 10.4.8 (99.5% pure) for SSE2 Install Guide You might also check Prasys' Live kernel update script. i don't know if it works on SSE2 either but worth looking into as it does all the work basically for you. hope this helps and doesn't crash your system. As always create backups whenever you play with the system for upgrades or kext editing!!

SpeedfreaK Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 i maneged to install it with the paulicat method, but it the system freezed when i was repairing the permissions, so i rebooted in -s mode, and that went ok (i was able to type in the command line (near 'root:')), so i thaught the permissions were correctly repaired, so i didn't repair them again. i rebooted in normally and the system freezes. when i reboot again in -s mode, the system freezes again. Will this say that i only had to repair the permissions again and that my system woudl work? (i want to know it because it takes about 45 minutes to do the work again) thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44140-help-make-my-machine-1048/#findComment-316395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
