shinyplasticbag Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi there. I'm hoping someone else might have some experience with this issue. I just burnt a copy of 10.4.3 (including the Maxxus patch) and tried to install it. However, after I go past "press any key to install", my computer just reboots -- no error messages or anything. It's quite abrupt. Does anyone out there have any idea of what I might be able to do to solve this? (I should note that I have 10.4.1 running successfully, based on the "deadmoo" image, so OSX86 in general has worked on this machine.)

Specs of your machine might help someone show you what's wrong... CPU type, speed, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5386-installer-just-reboots-pc/#findComment-34170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiCroSi Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Posting here, cause having the same problem, witht eh patch that Jas linked to. Using a Dell Precision 360. I know its a P4 3 gig, and the SSE3 patches dont work, get a "not compatable hardware" error, but the SSE2 patches at leat get to the Press any key to install Mac OS X or f8 for advance startup options, and if I press Enter, it thinks for a second, and the gives me the same option. The first time it booted, it looked like it was going to work, and now it is stuck in that loop. Anything I can do to get it to run? I got 10.4.1 to run perfect, but wanted to try 10.4.3.

keith04 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) I am having the same problem. It looks like the issue is because the 10.4.3 (8F1099 and later) use PAE (Physical address extensions) More information is available on EDIT: Removed content violating DMCA Check and see if your cpu has this feature. It is failry old, and I was very surprised to find out that my 1 year old Pentium M processor did not have it. Hope this helps!

shinyplasticbag Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Son of a {censored}, I don't have PAE! High five for pointing that out, Keith -- muchly appreciated. So is this PAE requirement new to 10.4.3? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5386-installer-just-reboots-pc/#findComment-34485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
