BJMoose Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 I've never looked at this because I use the English version, but aren't the languages contained as packages on the install disk? If you have another install disk like JaS or one of the earlier uphuck disks, couldn't you just install the language package of your choice, repair permissions, and reboot? Since I have several images of all my setups, maybe I'll give that a try sometime and report back on it. Can't remember what folder, but in examining the various install disks, I thought this appeared to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themacmeister Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Trying to stuff large pieces of data down this pipe will kill any performance advantages Quartz 2D Extreme might offer. You may be correct. Although it makes my desktop and eye candy absolutely scream!, I did notice some interesting bottlenecks with performance - may be best to leave this one alone - it seems to reset regularly on my machine anyway. I might save it to impress people at demos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnargs Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Anyway this is the torrent I used to get my copy of the kalyways DVDhttp://torrents.suprnova.org/1143775/kalyw...3775.SN.torrent At least I can be helpful thanks for the torrentlink, but it is not really helpful, because the torrentfile is for the 10.5. leopard alpha version. not for the 10.4.10 ..

Iulian I don't have any JMicron Controllers on my system, so I only know that from what I've read, they can be difficult to manuever. However, with the latest installers like Kalyway and XxX, there are patches and workarounds that have gotten many people up and running. Looking at your specs, it appears you're already aware of the JMicron situation. I'm wondering about your partition decision. While 10GB is certainly enough to install the OS, and that's fine if you are just experimenting with the OS to see how it runs, it really isn't enough space to install any serious Suites like CS3 or FCS2. And you haven't left any room for data in your system unless you're planning to depend solely on the read/write capabilities of MacFuse. You won't get full support for your 8600GTS either. Folks are working on it but it's not there yet. Other than those caveats, I'd give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucaiuli Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thank you for your reply. Yes, I'm aware of Jmicron issue and I made that partition just for testing, because I'm planing to buy a larger hdd only for MAC. Another question would be - if Apple release Leopard, (next year, I heard) official release would boot on our Intel PCs, or just on Apple desktops and notebooks, because 125$ + taxes it's not a big price for this OS. Anyway...I will give a try with XxX and Kalyway, maybe after a few weeks until my download it's finished Until then I will stick on my tiger-x86 Vmware image.

eXcalibUr88 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 i have an sse2 system and im using xxx release of 10.4.10... i manged to make everything to work but it is using the 8.9.1 kernel.. from what I read in this post, kalyway's dvd includes 8.10.3 kernel.. will it work on my system if i get that kernel from the DVD and replace the 8.9.1 kernel? thanks! GD site is still down and im hoping that someone might be good enough to send just the 8.10.3 sse2 kernel from this dvd.. thanks again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD site is still down and im hoping that someone might be good enough to send just the 8.10.3 sse2 kernel from this dvd.. thanks again.. The kernel you mentioned is for SSE3 capable systems only. You'll have a kernel panic and your computer will hang up on boot if you install that kernel. Stick to the one you have. GD is still down, but search mininova instead.

eXcalibUr88 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 i see... thanks jjduro.. i thought kalyway released an 8.10.3 kernel for sse2 as well.. thanks. ill stay with this kernel and maybe wait for leopard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMF Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 You may have a challenge. I've successfully installed OSX on a HDD off a JMICRON363 and I had to do it in IDE mode. To boot after the install I had to switch to AHCI mode. YMMV but I would give it a shot. You might want to do an image backup of your windows partition as a safety measure. SMF BJMoose or anyone that could tell me if I can do a clean install of 10.4.10 on my specs: Intel CORE2DUO E6420 2,14ghz @ 3,2ghz per core ASUS P5B Premium Vista Edition with JMicron JMB363 SATA controller set on IDE HDD 320gb SATA-2 with: partition1 - ntfs 30gb WinXP SP2 partition2 - hfs+ 10gb boot flag (made it with cfdisk under Ubuntu Live CD) partition3 - ntfs 40gb partition4 - ntfs 240gb stuff GeCUBE 8600GTS Nvidia 256mb Sycron 2x512mb RAM 533mhz NEC DVD-RW 3250A (IDE) Thank you.

lucaiuli Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 SMF - glad to hear that I did all that steps in BIOS - IDE mode, and AHCI and no luck If you can tell what version of OSX86 did you used. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMF Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have had success with the Jas 10.4.8 (don't remember the full name but it's the one with PPF1 & PPF2 in the name), Uphuck 1.3 and the recent XxX 10.4.10 installs. I couldn't get Kalaway to work on my system (the install disk wouldn't boot). I think I would start with Jas 10.4.8. I've been doing a lot of trial and error. I would start with the Jmicron in IDE mode and do a verbose boot (use the -v switch) and see if you can even boot into the installer. If you can get that far then try different options (I would start with the minimum perhaps just a Jmicron patch) and do a verbose boot after the install. If it doesn't work check where it hangs and see if someone else has your same problem. It will take 20-30 minutes to go through that cycle if you can get through the install. If your system is like mine you'll get it to install with the JMICRON in IDE mode but have to switch to AHCI to boot OS X. It that is the case then you'll have to switch back to boot into windows or reload it with an AHCI driver for the Jmicron. You can reload it with a recovery install to get it working with AHCI.

Riaz Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 @Riaz, have you tried setting your bios to AHCI mode? I know you've done this before, but are you sure you set this drive/partition to active? Hi, I was still trying to figuring out the way to set my bios to AHCI mode but I don't find an option to enable or disable inside my bios... seems it is enabled by default. I did install it but still getting the kernel panic... "Debugger called Panic" http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/1894/osxssat0.jpg check the above link. Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is for my Hcntsh 1 on my signature... Been trying to install for the past 2 weeks and unsuccessful on every occasion.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi,I was still trying to figuring out the way to set my bios to AHCI mode but I don't find an option to enable or disable inside my bios... seems it is enabled by default. Under Standard CMOS Features, for each one of your drives (IDE1,2,3,4), it appears as if there's an item called "Access Mode" and by default it looks like it's set to auto. If you click on that item for each drive, does it give you any other choices (like AHCI or SATA)? If it does, you might want to experiment with that.

jhoule Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Edit - Disregard!! I'm an idiot and plugged the HD into the wrong SATA ports. Doh! I'll keep the post intact however, to welcome myself to this community with such a silly mistake Hey everyone. This is my first post here, though I've been reading quite a bit here and actually based my system off of BJMoose's setup minus his video card. Intel BLKD975XBX2KR LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard PNY VCG7900SXPB GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3500630AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Pioneer 18X DVD±R DVD Burner Black E-IDE/ATAPI Model DVR-112D - OEM CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4 - Retail Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80562Q6600 - Retail I'm using the installer mentioned in this thread, Kalyway 10.4.10. It loads setup just fine, however it does not recognize my SATA hard drive. I've read through this thread and am a bit confused. It seems a few people had issues with HD's not being recognized however, I didn't see a solution anywhere. Should I use a different install, or is there a way for this installer to recognize the SATA drive with the Bad Axe2 MB that I'm not realizing... I should also mention that the BIOS does recognize the drive. So it's certainly not a problem with the drive itself. Any help is very much appreciated.
