I presume you've got a Hard Drive image at:

C:\PearPC\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img

and the OSX Iso at:

C:\PearPC\OSX_CD1.iso

?

yes i have those files at those locations.
is that wrong?

set your pci slave to 0 if you have already installed the OS and change prom_bootmethod = "auto" to prom_bootmethod = "". see what that does for ya.

do you mean something like these?

Your problem I think isn't with your HD images and CD iso's, if it didn't find those, you wouldn't get to the grey screen. The problem I beleive is this line:

##
## bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
## machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
##

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = "-v"


You should turn off verbose startup, sometimes it causes things to hang. It should be this:

##
## bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
## machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
##

prom_env_bootargs = ""

Also, let it sit for a few minutes, mine always gets this, but only for a second or two. Longer if I just install or upgrade something.

HTH,

Jon

well i tried it but still

the gry screen has been ther for over 3 hs

any ideas?

Do you think it could be that there were two instalation CD's and i only made an .iso from one of them?

use the EDIT button next time .. double posting isnt a good practice here

as for your problem .. I'd recommend re-installing OS X on a fresh image file

thanks

Could everyone please click the "go advanced" button and attach TXT files of their configurations instead of posting the raw text into the post? It saves wear and tear on the mouse scroll wheel.

how about not posting the whole darn file but only the relevant lines from the file ?

heh, im at work and trying to post between calls, sorry guys. if i was at home, i would paste the file as a .txt to download or would take the time to edit the lines and just post those, but it was easier just to throw the whole file up on the inbetween.

Now talking in #pearpc.
»»»» Topic is 'http://pearpc.net | Windows Network Guide: http://dev.realistanew.com/win32net | Nightly CVS Builds and SDL Builds: richardgoodwin.com/pearpc | PearPC conceptual logos: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?Logos | Win32 SDL with DX- http://www.pnosker.com/ppc.sdl-DXtest.exe

Look at the last sentence

Ok, i haven't been keeping up with this topic.

can someone please tell me if its possible to use networking in 10.1 yet?

it's possible

Its possible in os 10.1?

uh, is there any site that says how? i follow this site and cant figure it out...

Whats so special?

direct x support

[edit]

No matter what I do I can't get networking to run , there are at least 3 guides out and they all offer conflicitng ways to get it to work, I'm confused as to what I need to set the ip/dns to, if I set those to the same as the nat adapter osx says its being used by the adapter, otherwise it says it's online with a green light but I still can't connect? what gives?

Its SDL version and I didnt see visual improvements... Animations are slow and sluggish...
It will become smoother and more useable!

it all takes time

I'm just wondering.. about how many people are using my GUI? Does anyone have any problems? LOL.. I don't get any feedback.. I think I'm the only one using it... lol

Tekmaven - I tried it. Works fine! It's using an outdated version of PPC though.

I'm using it and I really like it. I was making a small bug list.
I will let you know soon!

I'm not going to bother with the SDL build until it is significantly better than the optimized nightly builds.

I am installing OS X again (new disk image). I think I'll try enabling networking when it's complete.

Well guys remember you told me i had to start all over againg getting another image. The thing is that that is what i did but now i have another problem

Look at the pic. I don't know wot it wrong but when i run ppc these apears


any ideas of why is these happening?

I am using it TEK
WIth the newest SDL version of PPC no doubt.
I have tried other front end's I prefer yours. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I never could get your GUI to work all the way. The creating a hard disk image part works great though

Always when I press "Run this PearPC", the little green arrow to the right of the link turns red and nothing happens.






I use PearGUI right now for my config files and that seems to work alright.

Yea the same thing happens to me. I mean i'm not even running pearpc at all i really need some help coze i'm getting really frustraited

does anyboddy have anyt idea about the post that i did up there? with the pic

I'm not, it's not that difficult that I would need an entirely seperate program just to change the settings....

I'm having a problem copying files from my network drive to the Mac. I'm using Panther 10.3.4 with the bridging enabled in Windows. I can surf the net on the Mac, so I know everything is configured correctly.

I've shared "D:\TEMP" on the Windows box, and so in the Mac I go to "smb://192.168.0.101" to make a connection with my PC. Soon I am prompted for the username and password, then I get to choose which volume / share I would like to mount. I choose "TEMP" from the list and Macintosh happily mounts the drive on my desktop.

The problem comes when I try to copy a file from the networked Windows drive to the Macintosh. I get the following error message:



If I press OK, the Mac tries, albeit unsuccessfully, to reestablish contact with the PC. It cannot do this, so I am forced to disconnect the volume and remount it. I double checked my permissions on that shared folder; all Administrators have access, and the Mac is using a passworded dummy account that belongs to the Admnistrators group. This is to ensure that it has full access to the hard drive.



Now, on the opposite side of the spectrum, I cannot get all the way into my shared folder on the Mac from Windows. In Windows, I can go to \\192.168.21.102 (the Mac) and Windows prompts me for a username and password.

Then I see a window with two icons: a folder called "\bradleyc" (my account name) and a printers/faxes icon. I double-clicked the first icon and waited. And waited. And waited.

Finally Windows gives up and says that the resource is no longer available.

Just tested that DirectX SDL test and i couldnt see any discernable differences, at least not that i could tell.

change from

prom_env_machargs = "-v"

to

prom_env_machargs = ""

how do i use the dx sdl anyways. i run it from cmd? cause i tried it and it says i was missing sdl.dll file. im using the precompiled versions of pearpc.

is there a way to go fullscreen with richard goodwin's nightly builds?

you need to download the SDL.dll from here http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php and copy it into your PearPC folder. And yes you still have run it from CMD.

Just to let you know I am on the same page with you. I have never been able to get through a sharing session on my setup either. I get the same error.

You can update the PearPC version: its in the installdir\PearPC folder.

well i tried the dx sdl version of pearpc and i can see much better gui speed in my opinion. although i have to set my start resolution to 0 for 640*480 to get the window seeable, and sometimes the mousedoesnt go to al the corners of the sreen. although fighting with it will work.

does anyone know if it's possible to have full screen with richard goodwin's pentium 4 optimized builds?

can someone who got networking to work tell me what the hell I'm suposed to do , were do I get the ip adress, the subnet mask the router the dhcp? were can I get that info , all tutorials have different value all of which don't work, I'm on 10.3 and have a regular always on dsl connection. Please?

well for me netwoking only works if i bridge the two connections together. its the only way for my.

this is cool
i use remote desktop all the time on my laptop. I was thinking about doing a remote desktop from my laptop to my desktop both windows
but then i thought hey pearpc runs on the interent and my network now
so im trying to using the microsoft remote desktop program for mac osx to go from my laptop directly to mac os in pear do u think it will work
i will post a pic once i get it working

I couldn't get networking to work, so I can't use internet in pearpc!
I want to register a .mac trial account, but I can only register on a mac, so I tried to use pearpc to emulate a mac and register .mac, but no internet!!!!!!!!!!!
can some1 help me register a .mac trial plz?????!!!!

jack_canada did u try some of the guides that are available. if they dont work try bridging ur connection and see if that helps.

I think I may be slightly retarded...how do you turn on fullscreen? I'm using the Richard Goodwin Athlon XP optimized nightly build. I have went back and read other pages so I don't need the "use the search button" speech

*edit* I found on another PearPC page that the fullscreen toggle is F12, but it doesn't go fullscreen for me, it just lets me use the OS X cursor rather than the one in Windows

that's what i tried, won't work

I can't get networking to work! I've tried bridging it, sharing it and everything else! Ive followed the guides that are avaliable. The picture below is how I'm set up right now. I'm running OS X 10.3 by the way. Thanks for any help

i see people talking about directx sdl? what is it and what are the differences
