Talk:InstallTigerWithoutPanther
From PearPC
Ask questions in the PearPC.net forum, please!
What Transmac does is apparently simply the equivalent of dd if=/dev/cdrom of=<name>.img; you can do the same with Nero. PearPC will complain if the image is not a multiple of 516096 bytes.
...This time run the "Disk Utility" and click check permissons. How to check them ?
Then do a disk check and make the "Disk Utility" fix the HD image/disk. <--- I dont understand what you mean since my english is bad

Mac buttons have different names
After installation, the instructions have us go to the install screen again, but invoke the disk utility. The disk utility allow us to verify or repair permissions or disk. Do you mean repair permissions'' then repair disk''?
Thanks
When i run disk check, no repairs are needed. But when i try to run the OS, it states that boot file not found. Any ideas?

RE: Cannot find boot filen error
Hi
The onlyt thing I have done differently is , I have installed Tiger on a 10GB partition. Not a multiple of 516096. Is this the cause of the error " cannot find boot file?"
Regards zorril
No, I guess you have the same problem I have. The Tiger DVD is copy protected. TransMac (under Windows) and cp/dd/cat (under Linux) will not give you a correct image! You have to install dd_rescue and to it as follows:
$ dd_rescue /dev/cdrom tiger.img
Make sure tiger.img is about 2.6 GB! Then continue with blessing and so on...

cannot find boot file
I am facing the same problem "cannot find boot file". I have tried different combinations of setting the pci_ide0_master_image to the Fixed image (D:\MISC\Mac OS X Install DVD.img) and also the virtual disk (C:\MacOS\macosx_6gb.img). None of them seem to work.
I made sure that the tiger.img (i.e. in my case D:\MISC\Mac OS X Install DVD.img) is about 2.6 GB ... converted the IMG to a "blessed" img file using PearPC-HD-Resizer-0.21.jar.
Any clue?
--- i managed to fix the problem.. troubleshooting the DVD drive now. there was a bad partition.
In the Config File
---
in the "how to" u specified:
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
and
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
I m still (right now creating an image from a genuine Tiger DVD), are u sure, it s not pci_ide0_slave_installed = 2 ? (because i did not understand the meanin of "1" does it mean "activated" or is it the number of drives or the option?)
Still new in the Emulation World...
Yes, 1 is enabled, 0 is disabled. People are having different results ripping there own dvds.
Cannot get OS X 10.4 to start
I followed all of the instructions outlined in this article and when I restart and select "2" the application just terminates. It is frustrating the hell out of me. Can someone help?
RE - The same thing happens to me, even after I repaired the disk and its permissons.
Allright no body here wants to help??,, fuck ya all!!!
Well, it worked for me, but I spent 7 hours reinstalling tiger twice :( but now i can use dashboard and all of that tiger stuff! :)
What I did was use the same 8GB image, formatted it 3 times, each time installing Mac OS X on it and then repairing. Long process, but it was worth it. (Results will vary)
I've reinstalled 3 times now and it just does the same thing. Installation goes successfully, I repair, and when I restart and select "2" PearPC just terminates
The easy way: Only install the base components.
The HARD WAY: After installing, boot up in single user mode from the DVD (machargs=" -s") at teh bash, type in:
/usr/sbin/bless /folder /Volumes/DiskLabel/System/Library/CoreServices
and you're done.
Booting tiger .dmg images works, but..
Hi, I've managed to get PearPC to accept the .dmg files (I have .dmg images of the four Tiger disks on my harddisk). I just renamed their fileextensions to .img, and in case I'm mounting them as harddisks, I use the java size fixing applet to fix the images. After which I select the partition I want to boot. PearPC hums for a second and then displays the desired apple logo on the screen, but doesn't appear to go any further than that. When I check the console (I'm running from win32), I find that PearPC is spamming it with JITC Warning: program exeption 000800000 0000000 or something very similar. Any solutions to this?
S
Wuz faced with the same message ("cannot find bootfile"): had to resort to grotty methods - namely copy 'mach_kernel' from the Tiger 10.4 DVD image onto the (otherwise OK) HFS+ boot disk using TransMac (transmac warned there was already such a file there - could not see it though - attributes of the file were mucked up (?) / set to 'hidden' or something (?)
Note - unrelated topic - you can use Windows XP Nero to make an image of the Tiger DVD, the Magic java tool mentioned in the PearPC Wiki 'z got to be run (to adjust the size on a multiple of whatever) AND the image MUST be mounted has 'hd' NOT 'cdrom' (go figure - at least with PearPC 0.3.1 SDL-JITC)
Faster Way to image Tiger DVD!
I wanted to try out the MAC OS without buying a new MAC... All my macs run system 7.5-8.5, and I even have one that tops out at OS 9. So whats the Hype of X? I went out and _BOUGHT_ (legal copy!) of Tiger DVD from my local Apple Store.... And heres what I found:
A little magic that speeds up the imaging process... As mentioned other places, you can use NERO Ultra 6.x to image the TIGER DVD to iso: From the Menu in Nero: Extras | Save Tracks. This takes about 3-5 min instead of the HOURS TransMac Takes.
This creates an ISO, but you NEED an img... "Fixing" the ISO doesnt do the trick.. So now what? Get a copy of Daemon Tools... Mount the ISO. Now use TransMac on the Virtual Drive... Since your Hard drive is ever so much faster than the DVD Drive you should be able to "image the image" or "iso to img" in another 3-8 min depending on the speed/memory/harddrive of your machine.
Now you "Fix the img" like already discribed here and you are good to go.
Hope this helps someone... I've been pulling my hair out trying to make DVD images for pear pc since 0.3x
[help] install iLife to MAC OS by using PearPC
I've installed the Tiger Mac OS succesfully, thanks for such easy understand instruction :) But i have problem now, i have a copy of iLife 06, how can i install it into my MAC OS?
DVD Images didn't work correctly
Most of these hints are basically about how to get around the limitation of earlier versions of PearPC, where they would not handle DVDs properly. Yes, Panther was distributed on a DVD, but this DVD was small enough (around 2GiB) that the normal CD addressing modes continued to work. Tiger managed to exceed this range, and resulted in the images not working when addressing the larger range of files.
More recent versions of official PearPC 0.4 (maybe), and 0.5pre should have the fix for this, and thus make it about as easy to install Tiger as Panther. I don't recall when I made the checkin, but it definitely should be in 0.5pre. --Cfoesch 11:58, 17 March 2007 (MDT)
