Question for 8F1111/A with Maxxuss's patches on ASRock P4 Dual (915G with 478 pin CPU)

[Lim]

Hi all, got a question for the people that followed the original guide to getting OS X 10.4.1 installed on Intel from iHacked.com .

 

Using a Celeron D 340 (2.93 GHz, 533 FSB) and a ASRock P4 Dual 915GL mobo, no video card, just on-board with AGP set to 128 MB, I followed that guide to get 10.4.1 to work flawlessly. Ran great, learned a lot about OS X and Macs in general, loved it.

 

Lately, I found out about the 10.4.3 release (8F1111) and found guides on how to get that up and working. Ensured to check all MD5 hashes at each step, the hash of the patch (JaS 8F1111A Generic Patch v4.2b.), etc. etc. as was recommended in the original iHacked.com article. Install went much slower than 10.4.1, but finished fine.

 

Restarted, watched the awesome Welcome to OS X video (again) and then found myself stuck at a corrupted video screen. To describe it would be like the background texture of an OS X window (horizontal lines) all over the screen, no text, buttons, or other windows. I can see the mouse when I move it (USB mouse, PS/2 keyboard connected).

 

Here's my question: Has anyone else with this config experienced the same thing? Should I try a ATI vid card? Any ideas on how I could ... UN corrupt my video?

 

So in a nutshell:

- Intel Celeron D 340, 478 pinout

- ASRock P4 915 Dual

- Using on board Intel Media Accelerator graphics, AGP set to 128 MB in BIOS

- 1 GB PC3200 set to auto

- USB mouse (Logitech ball thing)

- PS/2 keyboard

 

Software used:

- Original 8F1111 for DTK (MD5 checked)

- Convert to ISO (MD5 checked)

- JaS 8F1111A Generic Patch v4.2b. (MD5 checked)

- ISO Patched (MD5 checked)

- Burn to DVD-R at 1X speed

 

Thanks all, really appreciate it. I hope I don't need to buy different hardware. Some sites say, PAE and NX are required this time around for 10.4.3 =P

Fixed it guys...

 

Set my AGP aperture to 256 MB for the onboard controller. Everything's working fine now.
