bradsm87 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hi, Now that the 10.4.4 DVD image is out and about, let's work on either getting bits off the 8F1111 image onto the 10.4.4 image to make that work or vice versa. Am I making any sense? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8204-mix-n-match-8f1111-and-1044/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVENGE Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 it would be nice if someone could give me a more definite answer to my question:http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=8154 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8204-mix-n-match-8f1111-and-1044/#findComment-51029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jynx Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 REVENGE : Your question would not even apply to 10.4.4 if your were curious since it relied on EFI. bradsm87 : I doubht you will be able to mix and match much if anything since these programs require the EFI layer to pass information regarding the system to the applications and OS in general. I believe we will all just have to wait until someone can make some type of EFI emulation.

REVENGE Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Jynx, I already know that 10.4.4 is based upon EFI. I am asking how the 10.4.3 dvd boots. My thinking is that if the OS X installer for 10.4.4 is not explicitly tied to EFI, we might be able to use the old 10.4.3 boot loader to load the new installer. Its just an idea.

Jynx Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I know, I said that because I wasn't sure why you were pointing people away from a 10.4.4. post over to your own post about 10.4.3 However, no the boot loader of 10.4.3 would not work for 10.4.4. Booting would only be a micro spec of the issue anyways. You might wanna read a bir more into the iner working of EFI. Intel's page has alot of information and an EFI Devloper kit if you'd like to play around w/ the code.

wesley Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Perhaps it's something like this. Once it boots, we're sort of in the clear. Then, the stuff that are not specifically tied to EFI stuff are interchangeable. We know that except for EFI stuff the basis isn't much different between 10.4.3 and 10.4.4.

macgirl Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hi, Now that the 10.4.4 DVD image is out and about, let's work on either getting bits off the 8F1111 image onto the 10.4.4 image to make that work or vice versa. Am I making any sense? Sure, in the begining od 10.4.3 we used an already installarion of 10.4.1 to install 10.4.3, Mac OS can be installed like any package of Mac OS, but of course in 10.4.3 it needed some tricks to make bootable the disk. Also some of us are using 10.4.4 kexts, I copied the bluetooth kext and now my MS BT-2 dongle works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8204-mix-n-match-8f1111-and-1044/#findComment-51231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amilmac Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Also some of us are using 10.4.4 kexts, I copied the bluetooth kext and now my MS BT-2 dongle works How I can extract kexts from 10.4.4 Restore disk DVD?Where is the location onto DVD, are kext compresed onto a package?

RipJaw Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 How I can extract kexts from 10.4.4 Restore disk DVD?Where is the location onto DVD, are kext compresed onto a package?Thanks Yes this would be usefull information. Wouldn't coping all the kext files over be a good idea. Hopefully better driver support all around for all your hardware ??

xiberia Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 you can't use the 10.4.4 unsupported.kext, because of EFI calls in it. and I couldn't get IOACPI.kext to work either, kernal panic. and be careful of IOATAfamilykext, it only has IC7 stuff in it, and no genericpcata.kext. mix and match that one. most of the other kexts seem to work ok. I'm more interested in using the 10.4.4 frameworks, but they're proving a bigger problem than the kexts.

Mr. Bond Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I believe that most of the extensions are in the usual place... /System/Library/Extensions... Also, when installing, I think the extensions are extracted from a certain .bom file....not quite sure as to where though. Anyone know specifically?

Can't you fallow macvidia's how to on how to install the drivers. Im going to try today for my 6800 ultras. See if theres any kexts for my nvidia. Kext's from the 10.4.4 will work on .3?
