Hardware not compatible with Darwin x86

[NinjaTech]

I have been having a couple issues with 10.4.3 8f1111, I’m a tech a local computer shop that only works on PC's so this is my first real experience working with any kind of Mac software. I had 10.4.1 loaded on my laptop and dual booted with XP and Vista beta 2 for quite a while, I never really used OSx much due to my Broadcom Wifi card and SoundMAX sound not working.

 

When 10.4.3 came out I was going to throw that on to see if it helped with any of the hardware compatibility problems I was having, but I have been completely unable to get it installed. I downloaded the DMG image of it, converted it to ISO, and I believe I patched it correctly. I followed the directions at the following link.

 

http://www.win2osx.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-958.html

 

I downloaded the Anti-TPM patch for 10.4.3 F81111 from maxxuss's homepage, Used "TransMac" to inject those two files into the correct place in the ISO image.

 

I also downloaded the Darwin disk and put all of the extra kext files in at the same time.

 

Burned the image to a disk and tried to boot, but got an error of "Hardware not compatible with Darwin x86".

 

On maxxuss's page there a couple patches for SSE2 support, the chip in my laptop only does SSE2, I’m guessing I need one of those patches possibly? I downloaded the SSE2 patch, but honestly I can't figure out what to do with it.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Pat

Beware, Darwin CD Extensions only work on 10.4.1

SSE2 patch is a kernel patched to emulate SSE3 instructions.

you can have different kernels with different names, and when you boot you type the name of the kernel you want to use.

i just burned 8F1111 with Maxxuss' patches, and i get the same error at boot:

"This hardware configuration is not supported by Darwin /X86 (3) "

 

I cant choose a different kernal when i boot from this DVD because this message appears before the Darwin boot prompt..

 

Did i miss a patch, or do i just have to wait for some new patches?

FWIW, 8f1099 runs fine (minus sound, openGL and QE)

ok.. maybe applying Maxxus' SSE2 bootloader patch will fix the problem, but i cant get the JAVA file to run!

 

i'm getting these errors:

what am i missing?

[macgirl]

With which Java version/platform you are patching?

 

I used Windows version.

[Tearabite]

i get the same error (or very similar) when i try it from osX 10.4.3 1099, or from XP..

i'm going to re-download the java patcher and try it again..

[Tearabite]

WTF?!

now i'm ready to throw this whole damn PC out the flibbin window!

i have re-downloaded a new ZIP from maxxuss site, and i'm getting the same thing! since i get the same error in XP and osX i MUST be doing something wrong.. HELP!

 

i'm doing this:

sudo bash

java -jar /users/randy/desktop/bootpatcher_8f1111.zip /users/randy/desktop/macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.iso

EDIT: Jeebus Kripes!!

Went to Java.com in os X and it wouldnt let me update anything..

Went in XP, got the latest JRE and NOW it's patching..

now we'll see if it works..

 

BOY this is fun!

If you want to run the bootpatcher in Mac OS X you need to run this:

 

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java -jar bootpatcher_8f1111.zip your file.iso

 

Apparently Mac OS X defaults Java to version 1.4.2 and thus when running the java command you are running version 1.4.2. Maxxuss' bootpatcher_8f1111.zip requires Java 5.0 (1.5.0).

 

Hope that helps =).
