IBM t42, PAE, OSX 10.4.3 8F1111

[milton02]

Hi,

 

I would try to test osx86 8F1111, but to understand what patch to apply I used everest to determine which features my CPU have.

I have an IBM thinkpad T42 2373-3UU and it has a Intel Pentium M 1,70 Dothan (2mb) CPU. Everest tells me that I only have SSE2 instructions and no NX nor PAE. I read in some forum that only Banias CPU should not have PAE, while Dothan Core should. Moreover, in some threads I think I understood that maybe PAE is present in Dothan CPU with 533 mhz FSB.

So my questions are the following:

1) does my CPU actually has PAE but I need to modify some .ini or reg file to enable it under windows in such a way Everest will show it properly

2) if actually my CPU does not have that feature, can I run osx 8F1111 release? if yes, what patch I have to use? if not, what is the most release I can run well on my hardware?

3) any of you have experience installing mac os x on a Dothan T42?

 

Thanks in advance

Tony

Do these patches work also with 8F1111 ?

thanks in advance

If you read the first post in each it tells you that he added the 8F1111a update to the 8F1111 install patch.

 

 

"I used the Maxxuss_SeedUpdate8F1111A.pkg.SSE2-1b_NoNX_CPUID to build a 1111a installer package and added it to the 10.4.3 1111 install along with the JaS 1111 patches package."

ah...sorry. I read too fast!!

But I do not understand what is the difference between the two patches. I thought they were the same, but I downloaded both and I figured out they have different size.

 

Moreover, I found another JaS patch here:

http://www.win2osx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2094

that seems newer (with the last maxxuss kernel)

Which one of the three I should use?

Do I really install the patched dvd only through VMware???? no native install??

thanks again

You can't install using VMware unless you have 2 hard drives in your laptop or you 2 partitions with a working copy of XP on one of them. You will also need to use chain0 file and edit your boot.ini in XP. I have never used VMware always made install DVD's and have never had a problem installing it. Your laptop is from the same family as mine 2373 model.

 

I would use the patches from that link, mine maybe be getting out of date, time to search for the new ones.
