Running Mac OS X on x86 PC!

[S.MULLA]

a new emulator called PearPC seems to be able to run OS X on x86 machines:

right... So I think...

[KlyX]

Is there any possibility to stop the installation of the additional software (disc two) whitout damage the installation?

[kwyjibo]

I will now go through every post in this thread - If I miss anything, let me know.

Ok. I will take my chillpills now. :blush:

anyone know of a way i can convert my .toast file to an .iso?

thanks

Just rename it to *.iso and set it up as the CD Image in your config file and you'll be set.

I did when it rebooted and asked me for the second CD, cuz for some reason the change cd button doesn not work for me, and it worked fine.

[KlyX]

Hmm... I thought it... So I rebooted while installing disc two but then, when it asked for disc two, I can't click on 'Cancel', so I had to change the imag file into the image of the second disc.

You're right, the Change-Button didn't work too on my computer...

Anyone else had OSX not booting up after being installed? I've tried various combinations (partitioning in Darwin, OSX, etc) but it still doesnt work (5th install in progress now)

KlyX: I did the same thing basically yeah, i let it install all the extra stuff though!

do you get this error in the command prompt

Oh nice, so I have to wait five more hours... I like it :devil:

Okay okay... I'll wait ;)

VolrathXP had mentioned that the key to installing 10.2 was to turn off verbose mode... One thing I might add is that it also has something to do with the RAM configuration... I have 512MB of physical RAM and I had set PearPC to 384MB, it wouldn't install 10.2, it just got hung up after a circle with a line thru it, but I changed the RAM for PearPC back to the default, and I am installing 10.2 right now... I think it was Jackalo that said he installed 10.2 with the RAM set for 512, but he has 1.5 GB of physical RAM... maybe the key is 2:1 ration of physical to emulated RAM?

Just a thought... I am going to try and set my emulated RAM to 256 and see if I can do that and have 10.2 install.

I'm wondering how you get this without PearPC hang up.

What did you change in teh config file? Could you post the part of it, which belongs to the memory?

Thanks

weird i dont know why i got it to install with my mem set to 512mb but i had to switch it back to default to boot after the installation

[KlyX]

Hm, why did you install Darwin? Darwin is only needed for build the partition and format this, so OS-X can boot from it later.

My Installation looks like working... yes, it dures veery long, but it works.

So I calculate the speed of the virtual processor... If I say, my installation is about 7 hrs and a normal installation is about 30 minutes, so this would be a average processor speed of 107,5 MHz.

[noob] How do i get darwin to work..i've logged in as root. but now what? is says "localhost:~ root", is that it? :huh: [/noob]

[XP-Viper]

does anyone have a compile of the new build?

[Starman]

That's it. Welcome to UNIX.

doh all that for some crap command prompt i dunno how to use :wacko: :cry:. *goes and finds something better to do*

[KlyX]

@roob: You don't have to install Darwin completely an log-in. Darwin is only for the partitioning. So there is an overview under 'documentations' on the PearPC Site.

If you use the calculator that is in XP set it for the Scientific view... Take the amount of RAM that you want to emulate and multiply it by 1048576 (1024x1024) and then hit the "Hex" radio button, it will give you a hexidecimal equivelant for the ammount of RAM (in bytes)

eg: 256x1048576=268435456 (hex=10000000 or 0x10000000)

You don't have to use Darwin at all. When you get to the page in the install that shows you having no disks, pull down the menu and go to the Disk Utility.

As for that JITC Error about the page-table. That is a memory issue, though I'm not sure exactly what causes it yet. I had my system setup to run on 512 MB of ram, and it wouldnt work, and after a lot of working I figured out that that was the problem. I commeneted out my memory line (making it default to 128) and it started up just fine. I assume it will be addressed in later builds.

[KlyX]

So it is... If I delete the # so it would not work... otherwise: no problem

Dude... Why do you feel you have to be such a busy-body, and care about everyone who dosnt have a legal copy of osx...

It annoys me that people think it's OK to steal OS X, and how casual they are about it. ie: "Now to 'aquire' a copy of Panther. TEE HEE..." That sort of attitude.

But I don't have to care. A moderator spoke up.
