jfn Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Yes, 1099 is the way to go at this point. I have a T30 with a 1.8Ghz P4 M as well and it works wonderfully for me - better than 10.4.1, which I had installed with deadmoo previously. Your processor supports PAE so the install should work, and it's much easier than working with the diskimage like you're trying to do. As long as you have access to a DVD burner, the whole process is rather quick and you should be up and running in no time. If, after the install, you get a kernel panic when trying to boot, try pressing F8 as the darwin bootloader starts to get a prompt, and typing "-v -platform=X86PC". There are lots of posts dealing with this problem, but for me, that worked (and using -v allows you see the exact error if one occurs). If something goes wrong during the patching, DVD burning, install, or booting and you can't find an answer in the forum, post here and people will help you out. Or perhaps start a new thread with a nicer subject line : ) Good luck!

cyrana Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Editing your post topic. And, your argument sort of annoys me. The reason is that most of these 'newbie' questions have been answered a million times and the answers are found if someone bothers to use the search command and/or google. And, most people are on 10.4.3 now, so if you ask about old stuff, it helps to mention that in the title. Good luck, though. When switching an image to different hardware, the -F command helps too, it makes it check things again.

dotpage Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 that's exactly my point, no one gives a penny about helping somebody new, instead of annoyed, you should be telling people to help more newbies, I guess... and I did search for an answer for b0 error, found none...
