setec Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I had 10.4.1 running nice on my Gateway 450XL but the harddrive died. Now that Gateway shipped me the new one, I tried 10.4.3 I used the 10.4.3 ISO with the Wesley Patch. My question is: Since I have a Pentium M with SSE2 and not SSE3, do I still need to do a further patch? My 10.4.3 boots up fine with audio and ethernet working. Howevr, I have no GCC installed to get my wifi card working and Office 2004 installation constantly locks up. Safari crashes a lot, so I am using the Intel Firefox. So, are there more patches I need to use yet, such as the Maxxus ones? and How do I get GCC on? Once I can get past this point, I can use my directions for my Gateway 450 XL already on this forum to get everything else working. Thanks.

Technobob Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 That wesley patch is old and using v1.1 of the SSE3 to SEE2 emulation current version is 4.2b Update your kernel to 4.2b and you won't have all those problems Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7460-questions-on-1043-fresh-dvd-install/#findComment-46560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
setec Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply. Is 4.2b available for download in a post here? I can't seem to find it when searching.

Once I get everything working, I will be posting detailed instructions for getting 10.4.3 working on the Gateway 450XL like I did with 10.4.1. Thanks again for the help and quick response!

setec Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 I see after downloading it that I have to patch my install DVD. Is there a way to patch my OS now since I have it already installed? And if I do have to reinstall, will it affect my Wesley Patch DVD properly? Either that, or I can look at the different things the 4.2b patch does and do them separetly.

Technobob Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Sorry I should have given you this link [Violation of DMCA] These files will allow you to just patch the kernel that is contain in this package You will need to use the NO/NX PPF and the 4.2b PPF Then replace your current kernel with the new one Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7460-questions-on-1043-fresh-dvd-install/#findComment-46595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
setec Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks for being so helpful. I am assuming that there are directions on how to replace the kernel in the zip file?

Technobob Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I use a backup install of Mac for my testing so had to look around to help you When you have made your new kernel name it something other then mach_kernel Copy it to root and fix permissions sudo chown root:wheel (kernel name) sudo chmod 755 (kernel name) Now go to your com.apple.Boot.plist and change this <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>Put your kernel name here</string> Now reboot and all should be good Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7460-questions-on-1043-fresh-dvd-install/#findComment-46631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technobob Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Google this macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg and you will find what you need Please remove the torrent link from your post they are not permitted here.

setec Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg is about 2.9GB compressed and 4.29GB uncompressed. macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.iso (With the Wesley Patch) is about 4.5GB. So, besides the OLD Wesley Patch, am I missing anything if I use the smaller version? Thanks again.

Technobob Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 When you convert the DMG image to ISO the file size increases but the contents are the same. You need to convert to ISO to use PPF patches and burn using windows based programs. You can patch the DMG image by hand when you mount it in read/write mode but it's easier to convert it and use the PPF patches. You are better off using the DMG image and converting it to ISO that way when new patches are released you can make a new install disk. The wesley patched ISO does not contain some needed kext files and uses version 1.1 of the SSE3 to SSE2 emulation. Also the wesley ISO can't be updated when new patches are released.
