You apply the JCCool patch once you're in OSX (regular mode).

 

how about trying to reinstall the OS, except when you get to the customize part, make sure you do NOT install ANY drivers. That way you have a fresh OS, and then run the "rm -rf /system/...." stuff

 

Also, have you gone to the link in the first post?

 

@mbums05 : Congrats! Sorry I couldn't be much help to you. I have very little (if any) experience with NVidia cards.

Just for comparison, this is my xBench

ya i followed the instructions of that link in the first post but in that guide it tells you how to partition your drive with the windows drive but i wanted to try it out on a seperate hard drive so i skipped a few parts and just started installing it. after installing it i got the same problem like most on this thread about the black screen with blinking cursor so i just started searching stuff on google and on this board, then i installed BSD 1.51 and just edited the partion into the boot.ini and then i was able to get to the os x ( the count down part) then i pressed enter and i would get the panic messeage like the guy i quoted in my first post. so then i PMed him to ask what he did to fix it so he gave me a ed2k link but since im behind a firewall that belongs to my company i work for im not allowed to open ports on it so i can really use ed2k expect for very slow i been having this computer on for 15 hours and it only downloaded 28mb out of 108MB so i dont know how long its gonna go on like that so i wanted to see if there are any other solutions.

 

but i might just start out with tiger 10.4.8 from Jas because i never even tried the mac mod thing on a pc i just heard about it on the 23rd that i could do that so i just had to try it out, but now i almost regret trying it because it sounds pretty buggy but when i start something i gotta finish it.

 

i apprechiate the help and if anybody can help me out that be cool.

 

anyway xmas is finish so i might buy mself a present some SATA-2 HDDs to replace my 4 year old hard drives :)so i would try it again with those.

anyone know why it freezes on the create an account screen and how to get around that?

 

wats the diff if u boot with or w/o -legacy?

 

Best way around it is to have a working install of tiger on another drive- then when you fire up leopard and get to that part, select transfer account from another partition on this mac.

 

ther may be a fix now for that issue but i havnt seen it anywhere

I have No idea how that happened, but after I installed iLife and iWork '08, my system stopped freezing! How?... I don't know.

 

False alarm :) I was so stoked, that I started few simultaneous downloads in "Sped Download", and System eventually crashed. The only thing I noticed is that, the longer system runs (i worked few hours in Garage Band before I started downloading), the less likely it's going to crash (but it eventually will :D )

Hi all ...

 

For those who want the freezes to be fixed ... I can't help at the moment !

 

All I know is that with my EFI v2 (so with all originals kexts) it doesn't freeze even with more than 30 simultaneous downloads on different websites !

 

I'm working on it now ... Almost finished ... Stop dribbling :D

Yes... we really appreciate Your work Zephyroth, as well as Your time, so you don't really have to sacrifice your time for family and friends for us <_< I wish I could do more, to help but I'm completely new to OSX86/64. I've even had enhanced IT in High School, but for three years we had only Visual Basic, some Java, but for most of the time we just watched porn :blink:

Hi everybody!: Season greetings... Thanks you for all your posts. I have Leopard, and after fix PS2 issue, there are still some problems. If you have any idea about how to solve this, will be very appreciated! :) . Some descriptions:

 

Video card works fine, but only at 1024x768 @85Hz (with NVinject kext). Any idea how to add some others resolutions?

 

Audio: work with ALC883 installer. In the output tab, appears internal speakers and headphones. Only headphones working. Can I get all the in and out jacks to work?

 

USB works only with keyboard and mouse: flash drive do not appear

 

Only one Lan port is recognized instead two. I use BootP and DHCP and has self assigned IP ,but the network assistent can not fix the connection.

 

Any help and feedback about how to fix this?. Thanks to Zephyroth for making this! :D

Hey Zephyroth, don't forget to put new NForce SATA drivers! http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77071

Thank you!

Ok ... Rev2 is in a good way to be released soon.

 

I've added:

 

- NVinject 0.2.0 for both Desktop and Laptop cards.

 

- Latest AppleNForceATA by MeDevil is added too (some error messages but boot process is faster and my drive is working correctly)

 

- ApplePS2Controller (tested and approved)

 

- Quicktime 7.3.1 and Security Update now installs during Mac OS X installation process (cpuids are applied)

 

To save some space I will not add iTunes 7.5 and RDC updates because they doesn't need any cpuids to be applied.

 

I will package some drivers for ATI and try to solve a problem which isn't really one :

 

In Rev2 at the end of the installation process it tells that the installation fails because the installer cannot make the partition bootable.

 

In fact the partition is bootable and all goes fine, but ... I don't want that error message in Rev2 !

 

The error is that when the script execute "bless -device "$dev" -setBoot" it returns "could not find IODeviceTree:/options" (prolly because of EFI) but as the partition is made bootable via fdisk ... it's ok :)

 

If someone has an idea to solve this little issue ...

What do you mean by AMD v2 Decrypts ?

 

I didn't experienced this issue with the "create an account" screen even with the first version of my DVD.

 

You will be able to use your PS2 keyboard and mouse right from start (with the dvd) and you can choose to install it or not (in your case I bet that you will)

 

The DVD itself is not EFI but the installation process installs it on your partition. You cannot choose to not install it.

And EFI is not a new bios, it's just some stuff that make Mac OS X detects your PC as a Mac (almost ... at least on AMD).

 

RDC update ---> Remote Desktop Client

 

Rev.2 is DVD-SL

 

Ah and sorry if since the beginning my English is not very good, as you know the first DVD contains only English and French ... ;)

Ive got a athlon64 3400+, sse2 compatible, so is this problem? Do I have to wait for rev2?

 

Thanks for replies, keep up the good work!

Hi, nice to see you here Zephyroth.

 

Thanks for all of your effort and time, lovely Release!

 

Just let us know if you are ready to release a LAN Freeze Fix for Rev.1, please.

 

I am working myself on it every day.

Up to now I have made it much more stable by using a different Kernel as well as different IONetworking, and Forcedeth Kexts.

 

Even though it now seems to be possible to smoothly download 2 gigs sometimes with 2 cores, it will still freeze in a few situations.

 

At the moment I'm only using one core, because that makes the stability amazingly solid.

 

I wouldn't like to miss the other core, because it raises the System Speed by 35 Points (75 Xbench -> to 110.)

For the moment, I will focus on Rev2.

 

You know I'm alone and have only one machine to test ... so that's hard to release an ISO which is stable in all the situations.

 

As soon as I release Rev2, I will try to fix some broken things (at least the most annoying).

:)
