inter981 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I had OS X 10.4.8 running perfect 'till yesterday, when i finished downloading OsX uphack 10.4.9. I installed it (on an AMD 64 X2 4600+ (socket 939) with a nVIDIA 7600GT), i went to "About this Mac" to check the version of the OS installed, and... NOTHING. It shows something like a camera-flash, it close ALL the active windows -like a super-very-fast restart-, and it never shows the "About this Mac" window. I went to the "System profiler" to check the hardware/Software, and it appers to be everything ok: Hardware Overview: Machine Name: Apple Development Platform Machine Model: ADP2,1 Processor Name: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ Processor Speed: 2.41 GHz Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per processor): 512 KB CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 HTT SSE3 Memory: 4 GB Bus Speed: 400 MHz System Software Overview: System Version: Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P2137) Kernel Version: Darwin 8.9.1 Boot Volume: MacOsX86 Computer Name: AC’s Computer User Name: AC (ac) NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT: Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT Type: Display Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0391 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Philips 170C5: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported Display: Status: No display connected I don't know if this one i got, will be the unique trouble, or if i will get some more. What really happens ? Do you think should I reinstall 10.4.8 ? i noticed on 10.4.8, in the system profiler it shown only 1 core in the microprocessor. now it shows 2... at least, i got a little advance.

Guest Ramm Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yes Pop in your DVD, navigate to System -> Install -> Packages, install 10.4.4.loginwindow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51543-about-this-mac-doesnt-loads-and-it-close-everything/#findComment-368632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDee Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yes Pop in your DVD, navigate to System -> Install -> Packages, install 10.4.4.loginwindow I am running JaS 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 kernel, and I installed the loginwindow fix from the disk, but it does not solve the problem. Like the installer screen says, "fixes some".

Guest Ramm Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Ahh you have AMD. That's why. I don't know of a fix for AMD comps.

XQYZ Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Use Tubgirl's 10.4.8 AMD only Final (look at PirateBay - 2.5gb) and patch it after the installation with myzars 10.4.9 AMD Upgrade (PirateBay, too, 150mb) only intsall NV40.pkg if you've got a video-card which needs to be set via Titan (so are most of the cards). Then update all the apple-stuff (iTunes and so on) and you're done (at least on a AMD + NVidia PC, ATI sucks a bit more perhaps). This is defintiv the best way in my opinion, because Tubgirl's update to 10.4.9 is buggy from what i heared on some pcs. Works on my AMD Athlon 64 3200+ with 1.25gb.

inter981 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 get the 10.4.4 login window It doesn't solve the problem... (ps: I tried to install Three times the OS: once, i used AMD SSE3 kernel, and after that, i used Universal Kernel 2. Same problem on both. I re-installed again (to work as hard as i can) in AMD SEE3 kernel). What kwernel do you think is better ?? one of these or AMD SSE2 / Universal kernel 1 ??? i have (as i told in the first post) an AMD64 X2 4600+ with 4 Gigs RAM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51543-about-this-mac-doesnt-loads-and-it-close-everything/#findComment-370781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
