Hacked OSx86 Updated to 10.4.3

[WiZMaC]

I disagree on the aimed at SSE3 comment.

 

It MAY be aimed at SSE3...

 

But it works flawlessly on my SSE2 A64 2800+

 

Flash works, Quicktime works, and iTunes works. None of them crash anymore.

 

You're probably right ... I'm running SSE3 - never actually tested that on SSE2

 

Have you applied my hack?

[TheSin]

just get back to my "mac"

 

MD5(/Users/lib/libSystem.B.dylib)= a4e551f0deb90e157429bd44afcc997e

 

You shouldn't have a /Users/lib

 

and mine is

 

fd2c71e228018f6fd6ac62f11624dfe9 /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

 

 

And my get info works

[tetubleu]

Tried booting with a USB keyboard (not an Apple one as the Apple one doesn't seem to fit into the USB slot properly o.o) and it didn't change anything.

 

Have you tried booting in VMWare?

 

EDIT:

 

It appears people with the D915GUXL board can boot it up to the blue screen, so it's obviously doing a simple check of the motherboard, now we just need to find out where!

 

 

Yes, that's a good start, but a blue screen doesn't give me a install of Mac OS X.4.3

Do you know if someone with a GUXL board had try with VMware ? I didn't for the moment... I never used Vmware, I just did a simple installation on my D915GUXL of 10.4.1, as simple as a install of OS X on a real PPC Mac !

Which hack? Forgive me if its something that should be obvious. A bit tired right now.

Well... VMWare really isn't all that hard to use either, just a bit slower. Its worth a try but I'm betting it will get that same nasty flash RAM crash.

Yeah it'll crash when trying to boot it, but maybe the DVD will be different.

[tetubleu]

With VMWare and the DVD ( both DVD, 10.4.1 and 10.4.3 ) I can see the Darwin/x86 message, but after, I just have :

 

System config file '/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found

-

 

I would like to try different things with the DVD, but I don't know how to modify a dmg and make it bootable after the modifications :/

convert to an iso (ultraiso) then use transmac to modify using windows

[EtherealRemnant]

I thought that you didn't need to convert it if you're using transmac?? I burned the DMG directly to DVD using Transmac...

[tetubleu]

thanks

 

I'm doing something strange... I'm running on 10.4.1 on a primary partition, and fron the 10.4.3 DVD, I'm running the installation of Mac OS 10.4.3 on another partition... (system/installation/packages/OSInstall.mpgk ) I'm very surprised the installation is possible ! After that I will try to crack the 10.4.3 installed on this partition...

[johnniecarcinogen]

transmac wont allow you to write to a dmg (read-only)

[tetubleu]

A print screen of what I'm doing now

[johnniecarcinogen]

I found that rather than using the OSInstall.pkg to use the essentials.pkg, baseinstall.pkg etc to work better.

installing essentials before the base system allowed complete installation.

 

installing just the essentials.pkg causes a panic at boot and the base system causes the automatic rebooting.

its safe to install all other packages

[iampivot]

Could you possibly do a complete howto writeup on what you did, where the scripts are located etc?

[tetubleu]

Sounds like I'm stuck at the end of the installation : finishing installation, running essentials installer script time remaining about a minute... I'm still waiting but nothing happens...

 

in the activity monitor, I can see that something called crashdump is on the top, with 99 % of the CPU... still about one minute left...

Right, please give us out your step-by-step moves!

As I comprehend you started up from 10.4.1 hard disk installation and then inserted 10.4.3 DVD and? What exactly did you do right after to manage to install (or upgrade to) this 10.4.3?

what happen to your steps... did it work???... i been follow up your xperiment

[Acid_Burn]

Hi!

 

This Update is super! My System is faster, new Firefox x86 Build works great (flash crash´s Firefox), Safari is faster...

 

Thanks!

[lfreitas]

Well, in my opnion this Update dont help me at all, the WIDGETS are not working,

safari only runs in rosseta mode now, and flash still sucks....

if i use some JAVA webpage like my BANK one, it crashes safari.

DesktopManager is NOT working anymore too, and i use to like the software so i`m pissed off with it

 

yes... the CPU results on xbench are way more higher but overall it brings more problems than improvment

so i`m realy thinking of reinstall the hole system again with my PATCHED DVD INSTALL.

 

 

btw... i`m running on SSE3 system with the Intel video board, so QE and CI is enabled, running

at a 1600x1200px resolution without any problem at all with that.

 

 

PS: the only thing that i got faster with this update is the GAME WOLFSTEIN, its way more faster!

 

 

cya

He just did what I described here:

[amigafan]

Hmm.. whats going on here? I installed the 10.4.1 patched DVD and then the unofficial 10.4.3 update and everything works.. safari with flash, preview, "old" x86 binaries ... the only things not working are firefox x86 and opera x86 when opening a flash site.

 

I am using this box at work with entourage and so on :-) Its a celeron with sse3

[tetubleu]

I cancelled the installation, and I erased everything. I installed the essentials firts, and then the osinstall... it didn't crashed during the installation this time. After that, the 10.4.3 partition is recognized by "startup disk" I can chose it, but when I restart, I just have :

 

-

 

 

and nothing happens...

 

( I hope you can undertsand, I'm french... )

I'm note using VMWare...

[tetubleu]

I just discovered that I have the same crash at the end of the installation of the package BSD...

[johnniecarcinogen]

i did basically the same thing tet did. (2 partitions, install 10.4.3 packages to other partition from 10.4.1) The essentials wont fully install if you install the base system package first. (so install essentials before basesystem) and the BSD.pkg always crashes.

• essentials.pkg causes a kernel panic at boot
  
• base system causes the automatic rebooting
  
• all other pkgs are safe to install incuding additionalessentials
  

The packages are located in /System/Installation/Packages on the dvd ofcourse.

 

EDIT: additionalessentials.pkg or the xcodetools pkg from the disc gave me a newer installer. 2.0 is still the default but right click open with gives you option to run pkg with 2.1.something installer which seems to work better.

If you want install the BSD, when it crash at the end, you can go on the activity monitor and force to quit the crashdump. It will finish the installation...
