NetBladeZ Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi guyz, I don't know if this works for you.. I followed several instructions from the forum here, but all don't appear to work on my Hacintosh. 1. Either I get it to boot then it hangs there 2. Boots, shows a bit of blue screen then hangs there, can't handle the login window or something So out of desperation, I popped in my JaS 10.4.8 DVD and reinstalled my OS without reformatting and guess what? I have 10.4.9 now.. This is what I did: 1. copied all my extensions into a backup folder 2. Ran the update from software update to 10.4.9 ( DID NOT REBOOT ) 3. Downloaded prasys script to update the mach kernel 4. Copied back from my backup folder , System.kext, AppleSMBIOS.kext , IOATAFamily.kext to my extensions folder 5.repaired my disk permissions rebooted and It had problems. So i popped in JaS 10.4.8 Intel Only SSE3 DVD, installed the OS without reformatting to retain my 300gb of data. Rebooted, and presto! it's there! I reduced the image size to 800x600.

mcfresh Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) I'd prefer paulicat's method over it cause with your method you need to reinstall and have a specific DVD in your hands, which not all have. It does the same (if not better), only is much shorter (about 10 minutes) Edited March 15, 2007 by mcfresh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45339-1049-from-1048-easier-way/#findComment-324082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetBladeZ Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Like I said, this method I tried with my issue. Not as an overiding method to Paulicat. It was not a specific dvd, its the ISO Image that I used for my setup which worked. Users who wish to try can use the ISO that he/she used for their first successful installation. I do agree the standard method is faster, but somehow it just didn't work for my setup for whatever strange reason. I'm just thankful I did not lose my data.. lol I'd prefer paulicat's method over it cause with your method you need to reinstall and have a specific DVD in your hands, which not all have.
