Install questions

[mebob]

My install seems to endlessly stall every time with 21 minutes remaining.
-this is what gets returned to CMD (yep windows, no fast linux box at work other than slackware under VPC5, plus it's a p4 3.0GHz)

Code: Select all

[IO/IDE] <Warning> command FLUSH CACHE stub
[IO/IDE] <Warning> command FLUSH CACHE stub
[IO/IDE] <Warning> command FLUSH CACHE stub
[IO/IDE] <Warning> command SLEEP stub
[IO/IDE] <Warning> command SLEEP stub
[IO/IDE] <Warning> command SLEEP stub
JITC Error: Stopped

The last error recorded in the Panther instal log is.

Code: Select all

Boot strap_look_up() unknown error code

...but it continues and apears to be stalled on...

Code: Select all

System/Installation/Packages/Essentials.pkg/Contents/Resources/postflight

[/size]

This seems to happen with both the retail and NFR OSX10.3.

My CFG...

Code: Select all

ppc_start_resolution = 4
redraw_interval_msec = 400
prom_bootmethod = "auto"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = "-v"
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
memory_size=0x20000000
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "pearpc-3gib.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "c:\test.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "panther1.iso"
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram"

Some questions:
is prom_env_bootargs = "" correct for OS X?

is it possible for the installer to even start if prom_env_machargs = "-s" instead of -v?

I have set the memory_size=0x20000000 is there any problem with setting the memory this high? I've heard you have to leave memory_size commented out to successfully install, any truth to this?

should this be commented out? #pci_ide0_master_type = "hd" or any of the ethernet or usb stuff?

AND the only other possible cause I could think of-- is it OK to leave the install unattended? might the [IO/IDE] <Warning> command SLEEP stub be power management issue?

Any Ideas

Oh and whats the difference between, PearPC w/ or w/o the jitc?
