davecool Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Oh, I posed too soon. I've fixed it all. Reinstalled the 950 driver from my JaS 10.4.8 installer DVD, video works now. Reinstalled the Realtek 882 driver with the HDA Patcher. We're back in business. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chawknz Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 This worked for me too. Although I am running into a very minor issue. Sometimes after I reboot the machine, it gives me the normal gray apple logo screen , and when the monitor goes to switch resolutions before giving me my desktop, it remains black. I see the monitor LED switch to green meaning it gets a signal, but nothing happens after that. I did have one time where it moved on to the blue desktop, but no icons or dock or wallpaper came up. However, if I reboot the machine again, the system boots just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xhala_debru Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi all, I've reading InsanelyMac Osx86 forum for quite a long time but this is my first post. Wanna know why? Well, it's the first time i've been able to use Software Update to for a system update I had 10.4.10 running 8.10.1 kernel from netkas, I installed pc_efi v4.0. At first I tried the 10.4.11 combo update but it screwed my system up. After recloning my partition back to a working 10.4.10, i thought i'd try 10.4.11 update (not combo), but whith not much confidence it would work. Well, I was wrong... It did work out of the box! Only needed to replace IONetworking kext and Apple HDAudio kext)with backed up ones to get network and sound working again. And remove Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext. Nothing more. My rig: MB: Asus P5W DH (need patched IONetwork kext and patched AppleHDAudio) CPU: Intel core 2 duo 4400 @ 3.0Ghz GC: Radeon X1600pro (this sucks for Quake 4 but otherwise is perfect for every day use) Thanks all to you who made this possible (starting with Maxxuss, if anyone remembers him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krassi Vassev Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've spend a lot of time with different versions from 10.4.8 to 10.4.10 and for me the easiest way to have 10.4.11 is to install Kayway-10.4.10. Then do the software update and reboot with the same DVD. After, you go to terminal and do the script with "pc_efi" on your USB-Flash. It take a second. Close the terminal and repair permissions. Reboot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Apple update will work directly. I just did it on two of my Tiger disks. Checked and saw that the kernel was updated to 8.11.1 also. Leopard will also install very easily on your system.

-Q- Master Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 How do I get pc_efi command ? I have the efi package but it makes me wonder that I don;t have the right version. Also, I understand that installing efi will allow me to run any direct upgrades from apple on my hac- is that correct ? Would efi work with a dual Vista boot ? Repoz, your system will easily take to EFI, with a minimum of effort. Then Apple update will work directly. I just did it on two of my Tiger disks.

sleipnir Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Thanks for the guide grmiller Just updates my upchuck 10.4.9 v1.4i r2 to 10.4.11. Works perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMF Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well I've tried two ways to run pc_efi version 52 - one installing it on my partition and one using grub for dos and in both cases after I use system update to update from XxX 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 I get stuck on reboot immediately after "starting cpu 01". I'll try downloading just the update for intel and see if that works but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or advice... My system should be ok - Gigabyte P35-DQ6 with an Intel E6750. Thanks, SMF UPDATE: Downloading and installing the update for intel (not the combo) still didn't work. I had the same problem with boot hanging at the "starting cpu 01" point.

MetallicMadness Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 hi guys, i've just updated my uphuck 10.4.9 1.4i r3 to ver 10.4.11 following this guide, but it gives me kernel panic at restart! it says "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform." Can you help me to fix this? I'm pretty n00b w/ OSx86 istallation... Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddy69 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 grmiller's instructions from page 1 worked fine for me also. ThinkPad T41 laptop. I started with XxX 10.4.10. Just remember to add any kext's you added to your install to the backup/restore terminal commands. I added IO80211Family.kext and IONetworkingFamily.kext. Everything is fine, posting from Safari 3.0.4! It's even running cooler now. Under 10.4.10 it ran quite hot. The ToH 10.5 DVD won't even boot on this, so it looks like 10.4.11 is the end of the line for this machine. Fortunately I have 10.5 on my desktop Hack, and also on a MDD Dual 1.25 GHZ G4 Mac! [edit]: Further testing reveals that System Profiler crashes. Everything else seems OK so far. [edit2]: Replaced the /System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter with the 10.4.9 one. Working fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcook Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Anyone else experiencing problems running the update on 8.10.1 and 8.11.1 kernels? I had it (uphuck 1.4i r2) updated to 10.4.10 with the 8.10.1 kernel, running fine, but 10.4.11 just continuously reboots (with both .10 and .11 kernels) when I try to start it. I can only get it to run on the 8.9.x kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddy69 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 My 4.11 install is running with the 8.9.1 kernel, so I have no answer for you. Do you have the correct system.kexts to match your kernels? I upgraded from XxX 4.10, if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcook Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I tried the corresponding system kexts from the updater - I'm assuming those are the ones I should be using? It worked with the .10 kernel/update anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddy69 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Then I would say that something else got updated that you should have backed up. Hard to say what it was though. I would look at things like the ACPI kexts, SMBios kext, IOATAFamily, things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
