BJMoose Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 PascalW worked great on my system. You don't list any specs so it's tough to say about yours. A google search will locate the updater in the usual places.

~pcwiz Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I need your specs, but BJMoose is right. If you have 10.4.9, you can update to 10.4.10 using the PascalW updater but if you have 10.4.8 it may be best to use the koolkal updater.

BJMoose Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 On my JaS 10.4.8 system, I just used PascalW's updater and it worked fine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65941-updating-from-1048-to-10410/#findComment-467620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Yeah I have heard about PascalW working fine on 10.4.8 and you can try it but it doesn't work for everyone so I suggest first updating to 10.4.9 IF you are going to use PascalW.

~pcwiz Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 You don't need to update to 10.4.9 first if you are using the Koolkal 10.4.10 updater. Use koolkal instead of PascalW.

mashinista Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 You don't need to update to 10.4.9 first if you are using the Koolkal 10.4.10 updater. Use koolkal instead of PascalW. Does it work with AMD couse I'm finding "koolkal 10.4.10 combo update intel sse3 only" and if it doesn't work for me there is no need to download it. CPU: AMD Athlon64 3000+ @1.81GHz MB: EPoX 9NPAJ SLI s.939 RAM: A-Data 512 MB x 2 VC: nVidia GForce 6600 128 mb HDD1: Seagate 200GB HDD2: MAxtor 80GB DVD: LG GSA-4163B Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65941-updating-from-1048-to-10410/#findComment-470094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nandemonai Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Wish me luck Attempting the 'Koolkal 10.4.10 combo update intel sse3 only' a little later today. Will post my results.

nandemonai Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well I ran it through (Koolkal), stuck to defaults as a point of reference, rebooted and it couldn't find the root drive. 'Rats' me thinks. But then I thought about it a moment... ah maybe it's actually fixed the plist hacks I had to do in order to get the jmicron going with sata/pata access.. (ide mode in bios) Viola! Set the SATA controller to AHCI mode in BIOS and we're good to go. System does it's thing, needs one reboot after sussing everything out then onto the login screen so all is well. It even picks up the PATA drive without any meddling this time round, video still works(didn't change it as titan is the only one that seems to work for me) but audio was a no go. I realised that the Koolkal installer thew in AppleHDA (AC97) by default so I had to remove it again in order to use AppleAzalia for my internal sound. I even went as far as installing the Quicktime / iTunes / iLife updates via software update (avoiding those security/combo restart updates that tend to bone things up) and all seems primo so far. So good news for me, hope this info proves useful for someone else with a similar configuration. Appreciate it as always!

Lactobacillus P Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 im using jas 10.4.8 and i want to update to 10.4.10. what are the best updates to do it with and where can i find them?also should i go to 10.4.9 first or just to 10.4.10? thanks in advance. I successfully did the following 'upgrade' with the xX 10.4.10 Xx release. I made another partition for OSX on my system to house 10.4.10, made sure all the hardware was working by doing a fresh install of it on the new partition. With the migration assistent I migrated the programs, files and settings from the JaS 10.4.8 installation to my new 10.4.10 one. Then I deleted the 10.4.8 partition and moved the 10.4.10 partition to its proper place (Acronis Disk Director/True Image Home combination). So now I have 10.4.10 working with all the files and software from my JaS 10.4.8/9 installment. By doing a new installation alongside an older one it is possible to correct stuff in the new installation from the old one if the command line of the new one fails on you. Works like a charm for me.

kingrichard47 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm kinda new to this hackintosh stuff (actually whole OS X is new for me !) but I had a working OS X installation on my machine. Wasn't so difficult at all. But now I tried to update to 10.4.10 (from 10.4.8 Jas), downloaded the 'koolkal 10.4.10 combo update intel sse3' and installed. Reboot...grey screen with an Apple...and a 'forbidden' sign on top of the Apple ! A loading icon is under the Apple but I let it run for 15minutes now and nothing happend. I guess my install isn't going to work anymore ? Not that big of a deal, I can just install it again. But why did the update fail ? My system: C2D Q6600 @ 3.1 Ghz Gigabyte P35-DS4 2GB DDR2 Radeon x1950XT 2 x Seagate 7200.10 250 GB RAID0 - Vista installation (ICH9R) 1 x Samsung P120 250GB - Mac OS X installation (JMicron) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65941-updating-from-1048-to-10410/#findComment-472788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Try booting in verbose mode and see what errors you get. There could be various reasons...its too hard to point out one but most likely its the kernel or some extension. The first thing to try after reinstalling is: backup the kernel and extensions and then do the update and without restarting restore the kernel. If you still have a problem, boot in verbose mode and see what is causing the error. After that it won't be too hard to troubleshoot.

OSXon86 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 If you have 10.4.8 then you should not update to 10.4.10. When I did it I, a got a kernal panic. I would recommend that you either unistall 10.4.8 and reinstall with Uphuck 10.4.9 v1.3-1.4 a/i.

manmal Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi, it's a very interesting thread ! So can you confirm that trueimage works for cloning osx86 partitions and diskdirector works for resizing osx86 partitions (to bigger and to smaller sizes , but always greater than the amount of data stored in it of course ! ).

Thanks! Mal Acronis Disk director 10 can not resize HFS partitions. Acronis True Image 10 can only manipulate the entire HFS partion: clone, move. Good enough for a 'whole' backup and moving around those HFS partitions.

manmal Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Great, thanks ! So to upgrade you suggest me to clone the partition to an external usb drive/partition , then go for one of the latest installations from scratch (XXX or kalyway for 10.4.10) erasing the partition on internal hd and then choose the option to migrate software from ext usb to int or the opposite ? To install a new fresh install on the external usb hd , migrating FROM the internal hd (untouched) and then cloning the external partition to internal one (in this way i shouldn't lose the acronis OS selector too , if i am not wrong). Perhaps the best way to go is to have separate harddrives for windows and osx86 operation Mal Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65941-updating-from-1048-to-10410/#findComment-475822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the best way to go is to have separate harddrives for windows and osx86 operation Mal If your system is able to boot from an external USB drive this might be the easiest way for you to install on the USB drive and leave your internal install intact for now. If your system is not able to boot from an external USB drive then clone your working install to the external USB drive and install a fresh OSX on the internal drive on the same partition that your old system was on (but erase it first to do a clean install). The migration tool will allow you to have your files and settings inserted into the new install. I am not sure if Apple prevents overwriting newer apps with older apps. I am betting the utilities and programs that came with OSX will be untouched, perhaps programs like iTunes and Quicktime will remain untouched as well. Try and find out. If it doesn't work out you can always clone your original install back to the internal drive!

~pcwiz Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 True Image works for backing up and restoring entire volumes. If you have MacDrive installed, you can back up individual files and folders.
