artbj Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Dear fellow hackint0shers.... I downloaded the tubgirls amd 10.4.8 release - a lil green devil place I unpacked the Extensions.mkext onto my harddrive: mkextunpack -d . /Volumes/OSX_10.4.8tubgirls.../Extensions.mkext and got all the kexts unpacked that are used during bootup. Then I got hold of a certain rev 3 of AppleNforce.kext that I inserted into IOATAFamily.kext inside its plugin directory. I edited the plist of this nforce kext and added 0x026610de to the ioPCIPrimarymatch part to ensure my vendor code was there - and left the existing ones unchanged - i.e. I put mine after the others. I then deleted the VIAATA kext as it is known to crash with the Nforce one - or atleast have a higher priority as of the installer loading a harddisk driver. I repaired permissions for the IOATAFamily.kext and its content by applying the following rules: Info.plist are supposed to be 644 - folders are supposed to be 755 - etc. - as mac has chosen as a rule - there are some tutorials where people just give all files 755 - this is wrong and unsecure to a certain extent, and osx may then say there is something wrong with the kexts - and that they need repair - or are not authenticated. I also did the following : chown -R root:wheel * to ensure ogu settings... owner... then i packed the kexts to an mkext: kextcache -m ../Extensions.mkext * ofcourse I mounted the tubgirl release so: hdiutil attach image.dmg -readwrite and copied the Extensions.mkext I made into the images System/Library/ folder ejected the image and burned it. Now, when I try to boot up the machine - its goes pretty far but gets stuck with an apple and a spinning progress wheel. - and this is really annoying.... I will try verbose mode and see what error is on the screen. My wish for this post here - is that we gather information for workin install - so that I may make a hp tx 1000 only release - ofcourse I will remove all unecessary drivers - and tidy up the install disk - and add tablet goodies etc. I tried following the information allready here - but there is spare information - as there are no accurate guides - XaD was pretty close to a guide - but still - I want to a disk usable for all hp tx users. or atleast a legal ppf for existing releases - depending on what this forum allows us to talk about. regards, aRt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leswards Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hi ya'll, i'm truely pleased someone is trying the tx 1000, i so want mine running any osx86 version, i'm finding way too much unconsolidated info on how to even start, as soon as i bought the unit i swapped the drive for a formatted 60gig and stuck in a patched boot cd for 10.4.4, it wouldn't get further than greyed logo screen unless i toggled the power switch then it would continue, at the point where the installer wants a drive to install to it simply sees nothing, disk utilities sees nothing and system profiler sees nothing on sata, guess it's nvidia issues. i don't have the tech know how to go any further and i hate failing, need some basic tutorials or i'll chew my knuckles off eventually. What can i look forward too to keep my hopes up on a ready made image being done for this lovable hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
