NUCLEaR Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I have noticed there are absolutely no releases for AMD/nForce users. The "still waiting for root device" message is really pissing a lot of people off. So... idea. If there is a way to insert mac.nub's nForce driver into Tubgirl's 10.4.10 release, it would solve a lot of problems. If anyone told me how to insert drivers into releases, I'd be glad to do it myself. I have wanted to put a hackintosh for way too much and with mac.nub's genius Intel release, AMD users aren't that far away from using Macs on their PCs. I have tried using mac.nub's release on my Dimension E521, and it detected my SATA. But that was only a driver test. Since the driver does work, integrating it into another release shouldn't be too hard. Please reply to this as it will not only help me, but the other hundereds of people punching their monitor trying to install Mac. ~NUCLEaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCLEaR Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Update / Bump Tubgirl's release is a pain in the ass on my VM Ware. Any other AMD releases available to inject drivers into? I found a method to unpack the mkext that boots the CD, and put in kexts to load on bootup. The nForce driver is in mac.nub's release. I need to put that driver and the pkg with the Installation pakage into the AMD CD. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneSi Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Is it at all possible to install onto an IDE disk to start, then add the kexts to the working install, then use Carbon Copy Cloner (after formatting the drive as MBR not GUID in disk util) and then using the new drive to install from. Just a thought... HTH, joneSi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCLEaR Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 seach for this torrent - Osx 10.4.10 AMDVM_SSE3 TEST1 or tubOsx 10.4.10 AMDVM_SSE3 TEST1 i downloaded and installed the same , seems to be working fine on my amd machine downloading this right now it should be done in an hour. i'll test it if it works native and if not i'll inject the nForce kext. i'm all prepared edit: this release differs from the one I had before. it downloads faster and seems more promising. i'm on an AMD Athlon x2 3800+ with SSE2/SSE3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
