hstuehmeyer2000 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 i can do every thing up to this part, Post-installation, Part 1 (from a working 10.4.3 System) Next on the agenda are the steps to copy essential files over to your new 10.4.4 system, so that you can then boot 10.4.4 and proceed with Post-Installation, Part 2. Copy the sub-folders "AMD_Enabler" and "Decrypted_Files" and the file "maxxuss_sse" from the Patches folder to the top-level folder of the 10.4.4 target volume. Note: Do not run the "replace.sh" script or the "patcher" command yet! They are intended to be run from the 10.4.4 volume (see below). If you work under VMWare or just want to make sure, copy the AppleSMBIOS file from the Patches folder to the folder "System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext/Contents/MacOS/" in your 10.4.4 volume. Check if you require any additional mach_kernel file, like the one with the SSE3 Emulator or the AMD Enabler built-in. Note: if you have an AMD CPU, you will need to run a kernel with the AMD patch applied under 10.4.4! Copy all required mach_kernel file(s) to the top-level folder of the 10.4.4 target volume. For convenience, rename the original "mach_kernel" and make a copy of your favorite kernel as "mach_kernel". Copy the "com.apple.Boot.plist" from the Patches folder to the folder "Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration" in your 10.4.4 volume. It configures the booter to display the boot prompt for 10 seconds. Copy the ApplePS2Controller.kext from your 10.4.3 installation to the 10.4.4 volume. The original 10.4.4 IOATAFamily.kext is quite incomplete for your needs. Either replace it completely with your 10.4.3 version (and backup the original one before) or check at least the Info.plist entries and available PlugIns to make sure that your hardware is supported. Check if you need or want to re-use any kernel extensions from your 10.4.3 system in 10.4.4. Examples are network, sound or graphics drivers. You might also simply copy all your 10.4.3 extensions to some 10.4.4 folder for later use/testing. Below is an example excerpt from a Terminal application session to illustrate the steps 1-7 from above. It assumes that your selected patched kernel files are in the "MyPatchedKernels" folder. Execute the session as root user, or prepend a "sudo " to the "mv", "cp" and "mkdir" commands as it is shown. Important: the "-R " option of Darwin's "cp" command is quite picky about whether the path name of the source ends with a "/" or not. If it ends with "/", it copies only the contents of the source folder and not the source folder itself. This is not what you want here. So watch out and make sure you do not append "/" to the source folders' names! # Define shell variables $T and $E as pointers to the 10.4.4 target volume T=/Volumes/macosx-10.4.4 E=$T/System/Library/Extensions cd Maxxuss_Patch_Solution_v1.0 sudo cp -R AMD_Enabler Decrypted_Files maxxuss_sse $T sudo mkdir $T/originals # For use under VMWare: sudo cp -R $E/AppleSMBIOS.kext $T/originals sudo cp AppleSMBIOS $E/AppleSMBIOS.kext/Contents/MacOS/ # Put your patched mach_kernel file(s) in place sudo mv $T/mach_kernel $T/originals sudo cp MyPatchedKernels/* $T sudo cp $T/mach_kernel.favorite $T/mach_kernel # Put boot config in place: display boot prompt for 10 seconds sudo cp com.apple.Boot.plist $T/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ # Add your kernel extensions sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext $E sudo cp -R $E/IOATAFamily.kext $T/originals sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext $E when i have to do this stuff, i am lost, this is were i need, help, when i enter this stuff it does not work, someone help me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9498-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilott Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 If you are lost it will be a long way before you will have a stable computer - you have been choosing the PC because you prefer to work on the cheap side of the moon didn't you ?

technolion Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 i can do every thing up to this part, ... Maxxuss instructions removed... when i have to do this stuff, i am lost, this is were i need, help, when i enter this stuff it does not work, someone help me It is kinda hard to help you, if you don't tell us exactly what is is where you have problems? First of all you need to be able to use the Terminal (the black shell, where you type in the commands). The excerpt, Maxxuss put in his instructions, shows the exact commands you have to type. But You also need to use some common sense, and it helps to actually understand, what each command does. For instance the command T=/Volumes/macosx-10.4.4 only works, if your Volume, where you installed 10.4.4 is actally named macosx-10.4.4. To help you get started with the commands: sudo - command to works as super user (root) cp - command to copy files mv - command to move files mkdir - command to create a folder Good luck!
