I've seen this same problem, as well, in a previous attempt at getting this to work. I own a copy of OS X 10.3. It's mine and I bought it special for this project. Please tell me what this means, if you know. :D I do have to say that the previous attempt where I saw this was with the Darwin approach. This self-contained approach is *much* nicer!STKD wrote:Personally I will neither condone or support anyone in ANY way who is using illegal materials for this, and would respectfully ask and expect others to do likewise. Emulation is on such a fine line of legality as it is that this kind of behaviour damages the whole emu scene. Emulation should not and WILL NOT be considered a means to condone piracy. Emulation is a technical interest, not about "ooh, free games! free software! me want!". This isn't "try before you buy" here. This is `hey if you own this, here's something cool you can do with it". If you don't own it, you don't have the right to use it, and woe betide anyone who gets on the wrong side of copyright and piracy laws in the current climate...wonderboy wrote:every time I try installing OSX, I am able to boot from the ISO file and get the 'apple' screen, but after a while it gives me this message:
Warning: AppleMac IO self test fails
then it does some other stuff, and finally gives me this message:
Still waiting for root device
which repeats every 5 minutes or so ad nauseum.
any ideas on what the problem could be? this has happened both following the guide and trying to do it on my own, and with both ver 1.1 and ver 1.1 jitc. Im wondering if it might be the iso files - I did not create them myself. rather I downloaded them (there is no way im paying for an OS that I have no other use for) however, if anyone suspects it is somthing other than the iso's, dont hesitate to inform me...
Frankly you don't deserve for it to work, you don't have the right for it to work, so don't ask for it to work. You've already by your own admission broken the law too, so don't expect support here.
Code: Select all
* Make sure there is at least 5G of free disk for the ISO's and virtual disk image.
* To create my iso images of OS X 10.3:
- create a dir for the iso's:
# mkdir /opt/pearpc/osx
- create the iso's
# cd /opt/pearpc/osx
[insert CD1]
# cp /dev/cdrom cd1.iso
[insert CD2]
# cp /dev/cdrom cd2.iso
[insert CD3]
# cp /dev/cdrom cd3.iso
* To unpack the 3G image:
- downloaded the 7k macosx103.zip from the bottom of the tutorial post
- download rar from http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
- install rar:
# tar -zxvf rarlinux-3.3.0.tar.gz
# cd rar ; make install
- unpack image file:
# mkdir /opt/pearpc/image
# cd /opt/pearpc/image
# wget http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/download.php?id=101
# unzip macosx103.zip
# unrar e -yr MacOSX103.rar
* To give your OS X install more memory, the following pearpc config settings are useful:
#
# Main memory (default 128 MiB)
# must be >= 64 MiB
#
# Uncomment for 128M:
#memory_size=0x8000000
# Uncomment for 256M: <-- I use this one on my machine
#memory_size=0x10000000
# Uncomment for 384M:
#memory_size=0x18000000
# Uncomment for 512M:
#memory_size=0x20000000
# I think you see the pattern here...
* To speed up install, set a higher redraw interval in the pearpc config file:
# Uncomment 600ms redraw for installation
#redraw_interval_msec = 600
# Uncomment 200ms redraw for normal operation
#redraw_interval_msec = 200
but pretty smooth.
