axan2006 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I started this thread on concretesurf before it died, and it had gain some momentum. Most of us here have managed to install OSX using elaborate methods, and we have all the necessary patches thus far. But, if this is to break out to the general public (or at least your everyday pirate) we need a bootable install DVD. There is the Developer Kit image widely available on Bittorrent, however it will not install unpatched on regualr hardware. We have the necessary patches, they just need to be applied. This is not so easy, however. The Developer image is a hybrid HFS+/ISO filesystem. There are a wide variety of ISO and HFS editing programs out there, but I have yet to find the sweet spot: a program that can read and write both, while maintaining bootability. Most either do one or the other. For example, Transmac does a fantastic job of editing the HFS+ section of the image, however it will not touch the ISO part, which needs to be patched. MagicISO will edit the ISO part but corrupts the HFS+ part in the process. UltraISO can do both but will only write the ISO section and in a different file, a useless one. I have tried various programs, to no avail. But I think this is something that needs to be done. Transmac, like I said, can edit the HFS partition. We need a program that will edit the ISO part without corrupting the HFS. Happy hunting, I will update on my progress. Patches that need to be applied. Maxxus Rosetta patch: mach_kernel @ "/" Maxxus Coregraphics: CoreGraphics @ "/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Version/A" and libSystem.B.dylib @ "/usr/lib/" Latest oah and oahd @ "/usr/libexec/oah" /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist needs to be edited to automatically include platform=x86pc Certain ATI kexts need to be deleted to prevent forced safe mode.

dustbunny Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hello I just need to replace the file oah750d since my hardware matches the development machines. Would TransMac or MagicISO be enough for this? I'll be using the deadmoo version of the install DVD. Thanks.

pianoman Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 You could apply necessary patches to the ISO file manually, and then use a program that compares the original iso and patched iso, creating a patch. Release the patch, and all the user will have to do is run the patch and voila, bootable, ready to use dvd. something like Patch Maker should work well.

axan2006 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Yeah I checked that out, a reputable poster says it hasnt yet been done on anything save intel 915 chipsets. I'll keep tryin though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/599-the-bootable-install-dvd-project/#findComment-3726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwestpha Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I followed the guide and I get a "Darwin does not support this hardware" error. However this was after the GUI started up so... interesting.

Jetta VR6 6Spd Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 We need a program that will edit the ISO part without corrupting the HFS. From what I have noticed, this is already available on the Mac paltform. Toast 5 I'm working on using the dd image with a bigger partition (9500 MB) to allow me to work with this from the mac end. I should have enough room to work with the DVD.

glougloumouth Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Editing the mixed mode ISO-HFS+ DVD image is easy java script:emoticon('%3C_%3C') You need a mac (PearPC will do) java script:emoticon('') . If you have your Marklar-Tiger.iso file on your (Mac OS X) desktop, open terminal and enter the following command: hdiutil attach ~/Desktop/Marklar-Tiger.iso -readwrite The DVD iso file will mount as read write and you can then patch directly from the GUI, or from terminal (it will mount in /Volumes). Be careful, if your iso file name has spaces in it, you will need to take care of it: hdiutil attach "~/Desktop/My Tiger Iso File.iso" -readwrite or the command line will fail. So, for non Intel 915 chipset mortals, anyone get a solution to get the DVD Install run? I'll start tests again from the original DVD adding patches step by step. I plan to put Maxxuss 0.4.1 kernel + oah files on the DVD then see what happens. If if fails to boot (I think it will for lack of support for ACPI support and PATA driver) I will then walk my way adding extensions until something comes up. Anyone already walked this path? Please come back and share your test results.
