Ouch Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Maxxuss has posted instructions on how to use the various patches on his site now. There is currently no autopatcher for the disk but it should come soon i guess.

stevenmaclover Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hello, I am having some trouble installing OSX 10.4.4 with Maxxuss's instructions. according to Maxxuss's instruction, I should have my target disk as an internal disk inside my computer in order to use the "OSInstall.mpkg". However, I wiped the harddrive that contains 10.4.3 prior to installing 10.4.4, so the only way I can do now is connect my target disk directly to my real mac. However, OSInstall.mpkg wouldn't allow me to install it on an external hard drive. Is there any way I can force the installer to bypass this drive type check and just let me choose a target disk and install? Thanks for the help! (and sorry for posting a question as my very first post on this forum Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9256-1044/#findComment-59475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
technolion Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Steven, you could do two things: 1. Hack the script inside OSInstall.mpkg, locate the function that checks for an internal disk and remove it. 2. INstall VMWare, create a virtual drive. Install 10.4.3 on it. From 10.4.3 install 10.4.4 according to Maxxuss instructions. I think its generally better to install onto an internal HD...

stevenmaclover Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I tried your first method, but failed. After checking out all the scripts inside OSInstall.mpkg, I figured out that the script which checks for internal disk might be located inside the Installer application instead of OSInstall.mpkg. I am not sure if what I am thinking is correct since I don't have any experience in scripting, I'd really appreciate it if someone knows/and is welling to tell me where exactly that script is located and how to modify it. If all possibility fails, or if its proofed too hard to do, I'll use the VMWare method instead thanks for the answer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9256-1044/#findComment-60399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrunix Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 This dvd is a generic install dvd for Mac OSX 10.4.4. It will work on your computer as long as you have SSE2 or SSE3 as well as PAE. NX is not a requirement to get this dvd to work. However, after installing this, you still need to boot into single user mode and apply the patches by Maxxuss for AMD processors to work with this. I can not tell you where to get these patches, as i dont know where they are. That should be everything, if there's any other question's, feel free to use the almighty Google to find the answer's.

technolion Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 umm, antrunix, you are not telling anything new here.. Stevenmaclover wants to know, if he can install OSX on an external HD. IMHO it will not work unless you find the script that checks for internal/external drive.. In VMWare it will work, because it tell the virtual machine, that it is an inetrnal drive although physically its an external drive. But even if you installed via vmware on an external HD I doubt that you can boot natively from it.

kikos Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I installed 10.4.4 to an external USB drive the same way as if I were installing to an internal drive. If you can install 10.4.3 to an external drive, the same should be true for 10.4.3.

bri3d Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Erm yeah following Maxxuss's instructions I can select an external drive fine. The problem I'm having is random crashes (different kinds each time) and silly errors during the install process (i.e. Installer crashing, "Install Failed", hangs, Unexpectedly Quit, etc. So for me at least it's possible to *select* the external drive, installing just doesn't work. I'd recommend just installing to an internal drive. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9256-1044/#findComment-60671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenmaclover Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The problem I have is that I don't have a working x86 10.4.3. I am trying to perform maxxuss's instruction from a real mac running 10.4.5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9256-1044/#findComment-62256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
