Dee S. 73 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) the whole ext folder on rapidshare would be nice too.... btw, about Efi u can take a look here > http://www.tianocore.org/ DS Edited January 16, 2006 by Dark Schneider73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heesey1010 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 There is no EFI shell on x86 macs, Apple didn't include that option. Looks like they didn't put in the CSM either. yeah i got that word too but it's odd because even if EFI doesn't have the CSM, wouldn't at least vista load?? i've been hearing that vista isn't even loading either.....

39thRonin Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Ati x1x00 family is all supported but I read mactel ATIs have different firmware to communicate with EFI... we'll know soon enough. Please let the x800xl be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, please don't let this thread die kinky guy! Please tell us you actually booted a MS OS in the near future. The skin is an incomplete IPB 2.1 skin, it is missing the Option and a few other t hings. You can try 2.1 default if you want subscriptions and other items.

bofors Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Ati x1x00 family is all supported but I read mactel ATIs have different firmware to communicate with EFI... we'll know soon enough. This looks decent for $78.00, but only has one review at NewEgg, a very bad one too. GIGABYTE GV-RX60P256DP Radeon X600PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814125003 Otherwise, there are X550 cards by Asus and MSI for a few bucks cheaper.

johnniecarcinogen Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Can you upload the "Flash Player.plugin" located in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. It is freeware so it doesn't violate the warez policy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkwk Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Just a stupid thought: Can you use the new bless() to specify the (mounted) MCE 05 boot folder and then reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Just a quick note. Someone posted about MCE2005 and the EFI directory. They are wrong...they must have installed a Vista Beta on their system and didn't mention it to us. At least this is what a friend said. I can verify when I get home in an hour though.

JoeP Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hey kinkadius! you should try the trick with Freedos, which has been given in this topic: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...pic=6700&st=100 ur computer guy at school has xp running on his new imac he said you need to mac a partition on your imac's drive clone over the freedos install cd then mac another then in osx select the folder that says unknown then it will start free dos from there you put the xp disk in the drive and go to the i386 directory and install it. When you reboot you will be in osx again then you select windows as your startup disk and it completes the install. He says you have to boot osx first then you can run windows after making it your start disc Let me "split" the sentence so you can read: 1- make partitions on your imac's harddrive (one HFS+ and one FAT32) 2- install MacOS on the HFS+ partition 3- install FreeDOS on the second partition (don't know how!) 4- boot FreeDOS 5- insert WinXP disc and browse to i386 directory: launch installer (setup?) 6- after first stage, the computer reboots into MacOS 7- use the startup preferences to choose the FAT32 partition as boot disk 8- the install should go on with second stage then it should work... THIS IS ONLY A "TRANSLATION" of the sentence above, i haven't tested it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) ok, download is slow on free accounts and when I get it (10 min.), i'll post a mirror as soon as i get it uploaded. I hope some of you guys will post a mirror also. Yea, cyrana. forget the default skin was still available. i'll be using that for now on. Thanks for the downlink kinkadius. ps. sigxcpu is right. ATSServer would be really nice. thats the only thing running as PPC on my install. Edited January 16, 2006 by domino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkwk Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Regarding bless: how do i do that? If you insert the MCE 05 cd while OS X is running, go into bash and bless the MCE 05 EFI directory, and then reboot, maybe (just maybe) that could work. do something like: bless --mount /Volumes/path_to_mce_05_efi --file /Volumes/path_to_mce_05_efi_boot_file --setboot --nextonly make sure that you specify both the path to --mount and the path to --file. Edit: Don't use --nextonly if you want to always reboot from the mce volume. Use --nextonly if you only want the next reboot to be affected.

rjtd Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 To the ones with the kexts: Copy them to extensions, then chmod -R 755 * and chown -R root:wheel * them. Then, kextload ATINDRV.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
