jbjonas Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 nice... What did you do special to get it working? does that cpu have SSE3, or using new Maxxuss patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugz Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 This CPU have SSE3 and NX support... I use maxxuss patch and few kext from 10.4.3 instalations. Short instruction (HOW TO INSTALL) is below. --- Here are the steps that I took (besides destroying my 10.4.3 parition the first time around) Made 3 Partitions: 10.4.3 10.4.4 Backup 2. Installed 10.4.3 onto partition 1 3. Edited the files to allow me to install 10.4.4 4. Ran OSInstall.pkg and installed 10.4.4 onto partition 2 5. Copied Maxxuss patches (.3) onto partition 2 6. deleted mach_kernel and replaced it with the patched version 7. copied the following kexts for me: AppleAC97Audio AppleAzaliaAudio ApplePS2Controller IONetworkingFamily IOATAFamily 8. Terminal: sudo -s chown root:wheel /Volumes/10.4.4/mach_kernel chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/10.4.4/System/Library/Extensions/* chmod -R 755 /Volumes/10.4.4/System/Library/Extensions/* diskutil repairPermissions /Volumes/10.4.4 9. rebooted 10. booted off the 10.4.4 parition with "-x -v -s" 11. ran the fsck, umount commands 12. ran maxxuss replace.sh, but did not run adduser.sh and: kextcache -e -z -a i386 kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions -z -a i386 13. rebooted 14. success 15. Darwine v.9.7 works perfectly as does Warcraft III: Frozen Throne SOFTWARE UPDATES WORK PERFECT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton Peck Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Cool dude. But alas, I can't get past step 4 - Installing 10.4.4. I edited the two files as per Maxxuss website, but when I try to install, it tells me there were errors during the installation and to try again. I double checked, and I'm sure I did everything right, but it still doesn't work. Am I the only one? I guess I'll try installing with Pacifist instead.

joker Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Anyway to do this from scratch? I have the installer on its own partition, and another blank partition (for it to install to), and a Windows partition. I'm having trouble getting it to boot to the installer partition (although, i hadn't applied any patches when i dd'd, now i'm dd-ing the patched ISO-- is there anyway to patch a disk, instead of the iso?). Windows/OSx86 n00b, go easy on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapAmerica Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I working on upgrading my PC to 10.4.4 this weekend, Maxxuss has the new patch up that should alow SSE2 Only PC and AMD PCs to use OS X 10.4.4. I'll post how things go. Hopefully my Next Post will be on OSX 10.4.4 and not Windows XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New001 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Do the new ATi drivers still work in 10.4.4. . . ? Because I need Driver support, I'll install 10.4.4 now and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edadams Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Same problem here. I too have the same problem! Nothing stands out in terms of why in the system.log and install.log files.

nixblicker Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I had the same problem! This is how I got it solved: I mounted the Restore-dmg-file! Than I opened Dis Utility and created a new Image from the mounted restore-dmg with the read-write option. After the new dmg was created mounted this one and only modified the OSInstall.pkg! Thats iT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiebeest Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Xbench better too !!! That is because 10.4.4 supports dual core better right? Or is it just faster than 10.4.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxfoo Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 hey mugs, great howto, so when you said your software updates works perfectly, did you mean that you are now running 10.4.5 without any problems? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frinchkin Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hey all congrats on success. I run 10.4.1 native on amd 64 venice w/ asus a8n-vm mobo (it flies, can only get it to boot if i use x86/acpi switch otherwise kernel errors) could never get 10.4.3 to run native cause of 'acpi no driver platform' stuff and no one was able to solve. seems to be something w/ mobo as i can pull out same HD and get it to run on an old socket 423 pIV (it's old dell and only has 128 meg of rambus so i can't get into gui and i don't want to waste money on rambus carp) i can run 10.4.3 under vmware. question is, with my mobo do you think i will to run into same problem w/ 10.4.4 ?

R. Bear Helms Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Same problem here. Yup, same here - deselected everything but 2 printer drivers. Quits early during the "Installing Base System Part 1" with a "There were errors installing the software - Please try installing again." I've not tried with deselecting EVERYTHING, but might as well give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edadams Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yup, same here - deselected everything but 2 printer drivers. Quits early during the "Installing Base System Part 1" with a "There were errors installing the software - Please try installing again." I've not tried with deselecting EVERYTHING, but might as well give that a try. I tried with all options and with none selected. I also tired the individual packages in the /Packages folder, most installed but not the base system. Looks like I will have to stick with 10.4.3 for now.

t0pcat Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Tried it by the tut, but when i reboot i just get Panic (cpu0 caller error) unresolved kernel trap and i have tried mach_kernel.sse2 -x -v -s any ideas is that the right way to load a different kernel?

jim Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 In order to get your "Install Error... try again" problem fixed, Instead of copying Packages in your desktop do what Maxxuss writes in bold letters.. copy it into a TOP-LEVEL of a partition (it can be your current 10.4.3 partition) as long as its TOP-LEVEL Then run your stuff and it should work Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
