Guest goodtime Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Super. Looking forward to trying out 10.4.4. Waiting for my TargetPC with i915G motherboard. Have 10.4.3 running smoothly on my Laptop, but it looks like you need an extra partition for 10.4.4, not willing to trash my XP partition for 10.4.4 just quite yet, but I was tempted.

vince29 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've searched in the forums, but I could not find an answear to my problem : I've followed instructions from the site whitch can't be linked, but I am still getting the same "Illegal instruction" message when I try to use kextcache. I've tried using mach_kernel.all and a personnally patched kernel, butit does not work. I've recent pentium m with unbroken PAE, but no SSE3... EDIT : my mistake... I used incorect syntax in my boot options. Now, it -almost- works. I am still getting a cpu panic at 019C352... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brywalker Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Bah! Another dual layer disc down. It just won't boot to it. I get into OSX and it autoruns no problem. I can click the installer and it tells me to reboot and keeps bringing be back to the desktop - it never starts the install. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljsoares Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I had a problem with the install too, it would start but quit after a few secound. Its a minor error in Maxxuss directions in STEP 6 the <string> should have 5 x (../) and not 4, for me thats where the problem was. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Just installed. Very fast. More responsive than 10.4.3 and tearing is noticeably better (for me at least.) I have sound, but no internet. Which old kext from 10.4.3 do I need to move into 10.4.4 to get networking working again? Hmmm... BTW, I now have a useless 3gb partition with 10.4.3. No instructions on how to get rid of it. Bah... I guess if worst comes to worst, I'll install 10.4.3 to vmware and install 10.4.4 onto the physical hdd all over again. For some reason it said "you need 15.5gb to install os x." so I had to go to each package one by one and install.. ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 it creates you a bootable DVD image (ready to burn) which will let you install 10.4.4 clean. i can confirm it works, at least for upgrading a 10.4.3 install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Bear Helms Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yes. The creation of the bootable DVD needs a working OS X 10.4.3 (or later) mac or PC it doesn't matter. The product, the patched DVD itself, is for a PC, one with or without any OS X installed. Prep a hard drive for OS X installation under Windows?
