Sabr Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 SABR: so you've managed to get beyond the blank screen? Do tell how you managed to do that No I didn't lol... I said I got up to the same stage as you... I get a blank screen once it's loaded up all the kexts... hey all i tried is to manually install 10.4.3 components over 10.4.1, OS was working fine, but the components it updated didnt work properly. Safari, itunes and other stuff. crashed. I saw a mac os x update 10.4.1 to 10.4.3 ... hmmmmm no use mate. Well, I'm not actually trying to update 10.4.1, I'm trying to install 10.4.4 on an empty drive. So maybe you could try installing in on a blank volume, and tell us your results?

Which kexts 10.4.3 are necessary for the installation of 10.4.4? It would seem to be these kexts: ApplePS2Controller.kext and IOATAFamily.kext I'm looking for a place to download the JaS 4.2b patch, as it was mentioned that I may be able to extract these two files...

Sabr Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 No luck I'm afraid guys... I got my hands on the 10.4.3 kexts, and still - once it's loaded up all the kexts, it goes to a blank screen... What could be causing this?

munky Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 guys, there is a DVD patch on a piratish bay which allows you to create a *bootable* 10.4.4 installation DVD. the package as it stands requires work to be done in a 10.4.3 environment (to prepare the disc image) but once its prepared it should be burnable anywhere (even windows) and bootable to install 10.4.4 im sure someone will make a ppf from this sooner or later.

Sabr Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 guys, there is a DVD patch on a piratish bay... That put me in tears... Anyway, on this "piratish" bay, there are some people saying it doesn't really work, or they are getting errors, or that it is corrupt... Is there a specific thread for this patch on this forum that you can link me to?

Amazondani Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I found what is making the black windows apear. It's because you're using the 10.4.1 boot loader, witch is not compatible with 10.4.4. So, what you have to do is to set the 10.4.4 partition active, and than boot to 10.4.4. Try this and let us know! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9350-1041-to-1044-possible/page/2/#findComment-62522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So upon boot, I select to boot the 10.4.4 Hard Disk, and it still doesn't work. Just takes me to a blank screen. So... Anyway, I would really like it if phb could post back with how he managed to do it.

Ai Haibara Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi folks I've tried to install 10.4.4 from 10.4.1. Setup works fine, but it says that there are some problems during the install. BTW, I've tried to boot 10.4.4 from 10.4.1 bootloader and it hangs with a black screen. It load succesfully all the kexts, but nothing other... Has anyone an idea for fix it? Thanks to all Sherry Haibara EDIT: I've tried to make 10.4.4 partition bootable, but when I startup my system it says, in italian, "Errore nel caricamento del sistema operativo", in english: "error during startup of operating system", or "operating system error". BTW, this is my system configuration: AMD 64 3200+ 2ghz processor with SSE2 and SSE3, PAE, but no NX/XD VIA chipset NVidia 6200 TC graphics card HD Maxtor 160GB SATA All this hardware is 10.4.1 compatible.

phb Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Ok, so basically as you guys have figured the problem lays in the bootloader The main reason why I buggered up my sys for a week, was that *something* had overwrote my MBR with zeroes?!!!? Anyway, I don't think that's your problem, but it might be worth to check (446 first bytes of your disk in question). Then, the steps needed is (this is the (ev. SSE2 patched, files i'm talking about) /usr/standalone/i386/boot0 <- this one is to be at the first 446 bytes on your disk. DO NOT DD THIS FILE! **IF you have a problem with your MBR loader, ask me or search the net, and i'll give you a guide how to fix it (Ie, remember that 447->512 byte is your partition table, so don't overwrite that!) /usr/standalone/i386/boot1h (h stands for hfs+, u stands for ufs (which is not what you are using)). This file has to be at the first 512 bytes of your HFS+ partition, simply use "sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1" now, what I belive the problem with your partitions are, is that you don't have the correct "acctual bootloader", this you must use a opendarwin tool for "startupfiletool"(.c), someone who is less drunk then me can probably compile and fix this one to this thread syntax is ./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsY boot0 , after you've done this, use bless -mount "path-where-you-mounted-the-1044 partition" -setBoot then reboot, and you should be set!

jonajona Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Actually it is possible. I have 10.4.4 on my system now. All I did was pop in the 10.4.4 DVD and reboot.

Thanks I think there are a number of all ready patched DVD images floating around now. Using the files I mentioned in the earlier post was a long process of: creating a second HFS+ partiton copying the restore image to it running the patcher mentioned in the earlier post burning the updated image to a blank DVD running the updated install DVD and installing to a third HFS+ partition if you should resort to this, you would need to find those files mentioned, which may or may not be still floating around. There are guides out there for creating HFS+ partitions The patcher mentioned has instructions in it. Best of luck!
