bbao Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Sounds like a bad disk write. It is vital that you check to ensure the unrar'd ISO file's MD5SUM (unique file signature) matches the one given in the provided read me document. MD5Summer is a useful windows application for checking. You also need to burn at a very sloooow speed to ensure reliable results, if you can burn at 2x, or better still 1x, that is best. What mainboard/ system are you installing on? I checked the file's MD5SUM and it matches the one given. My drive wouldn't let me specify the write speed. My system is as follows: 3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 Board: Acer G91M 512 Megabytes Installed Memory 80.02 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity RADEON X300/X550 Series Regards.

OlivDS Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi mac.nub! It seems to be a fantastic job you've done! I'm on my way to download it but I'd like to know how to turn the system language in french after the installation? Maybe I could extract the french language from the Kalyway distrib, but I don't know how to proceed Thanks for your help Edit: I've just seen your screenshot, could you tell me what's the theme you applied to your finder, 'cause I've found it pretty good looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romeo0119 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Anyone know if this release might be compatible with a GA-945GZM MB? I've try uphuck and jas both could not find my SATA HDD. I'm think those older release doesn't have the right driver for my SATA controller. Will this one works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanis Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 No idea what's happened - but, suddenly, it seems my install has simply failed and now SIGSEGV's very very early on during boot. Going to try and do an in-place upgrade in-case the kernel has died. Just a note for any future DVD authors, there are JMicron fixes that are required to allow a handful of mainboards like the p5b to install native from DVD. Please consider adding them, as using VMware/ USB drives is a PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMacPC Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 NO DICE! Need to put in "cpus=1 -x -v" to get the install disc to even boot. However, it then fails at the line: "Using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster 10 buffer headers" and locks! Any ideas? Can't even get to install.

flibblesan Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I've got a problem. I get this message "diskarb isn't ready yet; we'll try again soon" and it keeps popping up, until eventually a message saying "giving up on diskarb" and it does nothing else. I even went out and bought an IDE hard disk, but no dice. I installed the OS using the following: under nforce & recommended patches: Intel nForce Kernel Verbose Mode AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement System Profiler Patch under ATA&USB SATA Support under Graphics: Macbook Pro Update nforce patch 8800 640mb under sound: ALC883 6port under network: Marvell Gigabit My motherboard is ASUS P5N-E SLi. Nforce 650i with nforce 430i south bridge. Graphics card is BFG 8800GTS 640MB. Any ideas please? Has anybody got it working on the same board or another board with same chipset?

moonmonster Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Ok, I have a working solution for ASUS P5B (and potentially P5K users). You'll need to use VMware as the Install DVD has issues with the JMicron controller I suspect. - create a new custom 64Bit FreeBSD VM session, tell the wizard to use all of the HDD you want to use - do not use the default kernel, I found the 8.10.3 works right out of the box - to get proper SATA and IDE drive support, install the ICH8 and JMicron packages - you'll need to also install the Azalia Audio driver package for sound and RealtekR1000 driver package - I have a GeForce 7600GT so used the NVinject 0.1.1 package that seems to work right out of the box also I think that's about it. Posting from Safari in the fresh install and, well, it *feels* very very smooth and fast. Thank you. This worked for me! :-) However, I'm having trouble getting it to log on. I suspect a video driver issue. I have an 8800 Ultra card (768Mb) and I selected the correct NVInject driver for this card. When I boot, I get a blue screen. Sometimes with a mouse pointer that moves, sometimes with a pointer that is stuck, sometimes no pointer at all... But it never gets further than this. I've tried booting with my LCD unplugged, and plugging it in when I see disk activity stop, but I just get a black screen instead (monitor does not turn on). I previously got something working with the titan driver on XxX, but I had to boot with the LCD unplugged to make this work. I've tried with the LCD in both monitor ports. When it's not in the left-hand (nearest mobo) one, I get a black screen (monitor turns off) instead of a blue one. Any ideas, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ququ Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hello, Mac.nub, thank you for your great work! I am using a IBM T42p laptop, I've got everything OK except the sound...

pindakaas Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 It keeps hanging when I try to "Erase" and format the partition to an Apple format from an NTFS Trying to format a partition on a sata drive nforce 680i Anyone know of a way to have it already formatted? I thought there was a command in fdisk that could format to Apple file system, but i forget what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malbojia Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Alright heres my specs: Core 2 Duo E6600 MSI P965 Neo Rev 1.0 Geforce 8800GTS 320meg 80gig Sata off the ICH8 DVD-RW off the ICH8 Cant get dvd to boot no matter what commands I pass. cpus=1 -v -f -s and such. I get upto usb caused wake up event (ehci) Still waiting for root device. Turning off the ACPI will get me too. ln0 err(55) cant assign a address Still waiting for root device. What I have managed to do is used vmware 6.0 Make a new virtual machine. Use FreeBSD 64 bit mode. Set the drive to physical independent. edit the vmx with all the options required. Run the disk util partition the drive as Extended Mac OS Close it down. Start up terminal. fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 f 1 write y q . Start Installing Using the 8.10.3 kernel. Azalia, R1000, 8800 driver and the nvinject for 320meg. Installs all the way. Reboot the machine leave the 80 gig plug in and still get to usb caused wake up event (ehci) Still waiting for root device. Maybe someone can shed some light. I've been working on this since 10am EST -5 *Update I now get it to boot all the way till it lauches the login window.
