Hacked OSx86 Updated to 10.4.3

I'm not even able to install the update, installer stops half way through, some error about not being able to install because the files weren't able to be extracted.. I have plenty of disk space and the MD5 hash of the file matches everyone else I've talked to :/

tekki, your fix didn't work for me. playing anything with sound (music, movies, etc) the sound is stuttery and static sounding. the best way to describe it is like a cd skipping. I'm on an aopen intel 915-based board. anyone have any clues?

has anyone tried it? does it do what deathchill's disk did when he tried it on his homebrew? that is, rebooting constantly?

Tried it, (10.4.3 DVD) same result. I would think if this is a genuine dev dvd it would have an error message similar to using the 10.4.1 unpatched dvd, but it doesn't. It just reboots the system shortly after hitting enter to install.

I will try it on my GUXL board as soon as my dl will be complete...

It is 100% authentic. This is obviously Apple's newest method to keep us from booting it as you can install it fairly easily via the method I described.

I take it you are refering to the vmware install??? Maybe it is just me but i've read it a few times over and still don't understand where it tells me how to install 10.4.3. (Please elaborate on step 5) What i get out of this "HOW TO" guide is install 10.4.1 in vmware, create a 2nd hard disk, erase second hard disk, then somehow install 10.4.3 onto said hard disk. The 10.4.3 installer forces you to reboot off of the DVD? Sorry if i'm completely lost, i'm tired, confused... it is way too late. Also since the 10.4.3 kernel does not boot, wouldn't I be left with the 10.4.1 kernel and therefore a similar installation as acheived by the 10.4.3 update?

EDIT: nevermind, I understand now. For some reason i thought when you said open i should show package contents. like i said, i was tired.

The 10.4.3 update I downloaded and installed over the 10.4.1 doesn't really seem to be 10.4.3. If you read http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/10/31/10....php?lsrc=mwrss, you'll see that they say that Safari now passes ACID2. Well, the Safari I have now doesn't (try it yourself!). Also, the disk utility cannot check the boot drive as they claim as well.

So it appears that the 10.4.3 x86 DVD is a prerelease, not a final, which doesn't include a lot of the features.

it's the 10.4.3 update for ppc osx

osx 86 is different.

As Takuro mentioned, the patch does not have all of the 10.4.3 updates. This patch only contains stuff like Flash, Quicktime, some frameworks etc. The DVD should have much more

[rant mode on] You know, I'm really tired of wasting my time checking...[rant mode off]

As far as some ppl say the DVD boots a near-to-real-Dev.PC normally, but just until it starts to check for USB devices (or whole hardware?) and right after that it says to reboot..

So I wonder - have anyone tried to boot up from that DVD with PS/2 keyboard and mouse w/out any usb device attached?

Can't use "Get info" in right click menu in any place on mine. If I click "Get info" in finder, the window will close. And the desktop icon gone then come back(just like refresh desktop in windows). And then opens up a finder window of the 10.4.3 update install package(where I install the update).

Some one have same problem like this?

Folks, from my experience with real Macs - DO NOT FORGET to repair permissions RIGHT after you did a full system update. And before you do it. If it is not too late yet..

Again I'd like to take a stab at it Just can't find the torrent. I'm not much of a warezer but I do love a good challenge

That means Finder crashed, it'll auto reload, Check your ~/Library/Logs/CrashReports for one about Finder.

Unless you use my Install DVD cause it sets the perms

Just kidding around it is very good suggestion I do it all the time not even just after installing, I do it once a week like defrag on windows (except it does something completely different.

see your post up front, already did that, do it before and after the second time update install. not help

I tried it and got the eternal spinning beach ball.

Finder crash guy, please send in your md5sum of your /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib, it seems to be wrong.

Don't let the zealots hear you! They like thier term... pinwheel.

I seriously got chewed out for five minutes mone time by some crazy mac lady about that.

Has anybody seen this?

MAC.OS.X.PC.ALPHA.2-KOTR ( modded OSX86 )

remove the warez link man.. whar are you doing!

I thought you were talking about " OS X x86 10.4.3 DVD "

The other torrent says "-nvidia graphics acceleration is now supported!"

I just went to the Quicktime Pref panel and told it *not* to handle .swf media.

 

/blkblt

My Prefences Panel has "General", "Full Screen" and "Recording" options, and any of them have file type specification... I can't "tell" him to handle or unhandle .swf files...

Could you clear this for me, please?
