Okay, I installed OSx86 some days ago. Here's what I did:

* Checked hardware compatibility list. My hardware seems to be so unknown... It's 5 years old after all. Latests Linux & Beryl seem to work on it, so it isn't that outdated.

* Checked SSE2 and SSE3 support. My processor only supports SSE2.

* Downloaded and installed Uphuck. No problems, installed a patch for the loginwindow to support sse2 at the same time.

* I had some trouble with a thermal kext. Patched it out problemless.

* Now I get a freeze whenever it boots.

 

I just get the apple logo & a spinning progress indicator. But there hasn't progressed anything during then.

 

I booted in verbose:

Freeze after that...

 

"Macs don't get these cryptic error messages"... :P

 

Safe mode doesn't change anything.

 

I've searched all over the net, but this problem doesn't seem to be common. (Unlike the thermal ext). Maybe i just need to patch something?

 

If you need hardware info, just ask! (I've got a knoppix cd).

 

Please don't treat me like someone that only knows how to type text in MS Word and that even can't print that text. I've been using Linux & Unix for years. I'm just new to the mac world. So I'm not affraid of terminals...

 

Does anyone know what to do?

I would have noticed it if there was something similar to it. But there wasn't. There where only 3 patches, one of them had to do with thermal stuff. But i'm going to look again anyways...

 

PS. Is it on the JaS DVD or isn't it? I'm going to install JaS i think...

Thats funny...its on my Uphuck 1.4iR3 disc. Its also on the Uphuck 1.3 disc but its not on the JaS disc. See this picture of the Uphuck 1.3 menu selection. See the option under Patches?

I guess its not on your disc, though thats highly unusual. Get a Uphuck 1.4iR3 disc or a Uphuck 1.3 Universal disc and install the patch.

Oh! You have JaS? If you install JaS 10.4.8 it should work fine without any patches! The error is only because of the Uphuck install.

 

So download JaS and install it...you probably won't get the error.

 

...

 

I'm speechless....

 

... couldn't you have told me that before I downloaded half of the new uphuck release (about 1GB bandwidth, you know, in bittorent you'll have to upload, too.)

 

Anyways, thanks for the info, I'm going to continue downloading JaS.

I'm sorry...Wasn't thinking right...Sorry I wasted your time :unsure:

 

Continue downloading JaS and install that when its done. That buffers error you are getting is a bug in the 10.4.9 AppleACPIManagement.kext file and it is usually always solved by using a 10.4.8 version. Since the JaS DVD is 10.4.8, it should work.

Yes! Woohoo! But i've still some troubles with my network card (see my post in hardware section)

 

Thank you very much!

PS. that dock is sooo cool. (although, if you don't count parabolic, avant window navigator is better). For anyone owning os x (whether it is on a real mac or osx86), do not kiss your screen with lipstick on! *cleans screen again*
