Magicman Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I installed it on a p4 3ghz hyperthreading older cpu only sse2. I used the patch kit 1.0 and used the mach_kernel.all for the kernal it has all the patches except the amd ones since this is an intel chip on an intel board. 10.4.3 booted up really fast I used the Jas install. I follow all the instructions on that website that's now down. I copied it from google cache. Now it's been sitting on a blue background screen with just the mouse cursor for about 3 hours. I know in the instructions it said to "be patient" However I didn't think it would take this long. What is the normal amount of time for this? And if this isn't normal what can I do to fix this?

ampTK Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 You probably missed a step, or did something wrong, be careful following the steps. Also try Repairing Permissions on the 10.4.4 drive. It does take a wile in the gray screen and the loading OS X screen (nowhere near 3h), that's what he meant Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9731-how-long-does-it-take-to-boot-1044-the-first-time/#findComment-60780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'm going to start all over. I'm mostly just trying to create this dual boot machine for practice because I just ordered parts for a second computer based on what I've read here. I'm getting an asus 915 based motherboard 2.9 ghz celeron D processor and 512 meg of ram. I have a sata 120 gig I'm going to use. That's if I can get it to work the damn little piece of plastic on the connector broke off and is stuck inside the cable connector. I got it to work with a little work. I ended up epoxying the cable to the back of the drive. Hope it stays working. I want to have both machine dual boot but the second is going to be mostly for OSX. Windows xp will be on it for whatever reasons. Maybe a few network games or something. I'm going to keep both of them dual booting but I'm designing the one with OSX compatable parts in mind. I'll post my results of both machines. I'm going to redo my whole installation of 10.4.4 right now. Magicman Thanks to all here I've been reading for days and especially thanks Maxxuss Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9731-how-long-does-it-take-to-boot-1044-the-first-time/#findComment-60808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Well got it up and running this time..... Few minor bugs. Network isn't working but I'll find that and fix that.

Magicman Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 YEAH I got it all working. Networking, sound.... and who knows what else I may need to do but the two important things are working. Now all I need is a good driver for my Geforce 6800 gt card.... lol Magicman Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9731-how-long-does-it-take-to-boot-1044-the-first-time/#findComment-61374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
