esc2 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Good news/bad news. It says it is patched but it's for an intel cpu with 3com card. "This is an OSX 10.4.4 (OSX86) partition backup used Restore DVD then maxxuss patches (and tips). running on P4P800SE with intel P4 Prescott 2.8E used IONetworking.kext form 10.4.3 for 3com card to work it's an Ghost image using high compression it was 22701 megs (3650 megs used) and it makes a 1325 megs image look for "hiren's bootcd" it includes norton ghost (symantec now) so you need a 22701megs free space (unpartitioned) for it to works make sure this new partition is "Active" to boot from it when running, user : julien pass : julien user : root pass : admin good luck SyPE " Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9443-ive-just-been-on-an-iso-hunt/#findComment-58956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdxxx Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 To work with AMD you will need an image of successful install done specifically for AMD. For an Intel install, this solution works and must be the fastest, easiest way to install 10.4.4. The Ghost partition used was originally installed for SSE3, and for a Canadian-French keyboard. It does not have the AppleAC97Audio.kext installed. It does NOT have the SSE2 kernel installed in the root. To install a dual-boot system on SSE3 system: -Have Acronis Disk Director OS selector installed. -Create a new primary partition (using Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director) of 22GB size -Use Norton Ghost to restore the OSX86 ghost image to the new partition. (Takes 12 minutes) -Reboot -Acronis Disk Director will detect the new system partition automatically. -Select to Boot this system. Done. Boots in about 15 seconds to 10.4.4 -Change the keyboard to your national preference. -Change any user names and passwords as desired. IF you have a SSE2 system: Before you boot the new system, you must copy the "He whose name cannot be spoken" 10.4.4 mach_kernel_sse2 kernel to the root directory. Rename it mach_kernel. (Of course to do this, you will need another OSX version running to access and modify the files). I also ran Disk Utilities to verify disk permission on the new 10.4.4 boot partition before booting the first time. It would be nice to have a Ghost image of a 10.4.4 install with all of the possible needed kext installed, and the SSE2 kernel as default, with the SSE3 kernel in the root as a selection. This way anyone could install 10.4.4 in about 30 minutes, then change the kernel as desired. To add AppleAC97Audio.kext (for those needing AC97 sound support): -While running 10.4.4, copy AppleAC97Audio.kext from your prior 10.4.3 /System/Library/Extensions folder (or from any other place you may have this file) to your new 10.4.4 Desktop. -Open Terminal - Type: sudo cp -R /Users/your-username/Desktop/AppleAC97Audio.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ (NOTE: In the above command replace "your-username" with the name of user desktop. It might be "julien". You will need to enter the password for the sudo command, this might also be "julien") - Type: sudo kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext - If there are no errors Type: sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions and reboot Everything seems to be working. Xbench on this P4HT 3Ghz is about 58, about the same as the 10.4.3 install. I do not see much difference between the two, and wonder if there is much benefit in the upgrade.

antrunix Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 IF you have a SSE2 system: Before you boot the new system, you must copy the "He whose name cannot be spoken" 10.4.4 mach_kernel_sse2 kernel to the root directory. Rename it mach_kernel. (Of course to do this, you will need another OSX version running to access and modify the files). Easier than that : It reboots with nothing to add on my SSE2 CPU-only.
