Mac os X 10.3 on AMD64

Post by Leovanham »

First i would like to say hello :)

My problem: I'm struggling with pearpc 0.3.1 to install MacOS panther, i have a formatted 6GB image and a 3GB onei created with pearpc control panel.

heres my conf file:

____________________________________

## PearPC Configuration File

##
## Start Resolution
##
## (clients that use video.x can change the resolution at runtime,
## so this would be used only for starting up)
##
## format: "(width)x(height)x(depth)"
## or "(width)x(height)x(depth)@(frequency)"
##
## depth can only be 15 or 32
##
## default: "800x600x15"
##

ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x32"

##
## Redraw interval (in ms)
## must be between 10 and 500
##
## If you set this higher, PearPC will spend less time doing redraws (and so run faster)
## but feel less responsive. You should adjust this to your computer speed and personal
## preference.
##

redraw_interval_msec = 50

##
## Key codes
##

key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"

key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"


##
## Loader
##

##
## Boot method
## this can be
## 1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
## 2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions
## 3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile
##

prom_bootmethod = "select"

## Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "force"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

##
## 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"

##
## This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X
##
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

## This will adjust the position of the initial page table (don't change)

#page_table_pa = 104857600

##
## CPU Config
##
## Processor Version Register
## Defaults to 0x00088302
## Only change if you know want you are doing
##

#cpu_pvr = 0x00088302


##
## Main memory (default 128 MiB)
## must be >= 64 MiB
##

#memory_size=0x8000000

##
## IO Devices
##

##
## PCI IDE Config
##
## Drive type will be set according to file extension:
## .img: Harddisk (filesize must be multiple of 516096)
## .iso: CD-Rom
## Or you can override this by specifying the type via
## pci_ide0_master_type / pci_ide0_slave_type

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "D:\pearpc\hd60GB.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "e:\Panther.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

##
## Network
##
## Choose one of the cards

pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

##
## USB
##
pci_usb_installed = 1

##
## NVRAM
##
nvram_file = "nvram"

No,

I run PearPC on an X2 4400.
My first guess would be that the cd image your using is not OK.

You could also try some other PearPC builds, just to make sure there is no problem in reading the cd image.
