archalien, for such an accomplished user, you surely must've realized there's an EDIT button, right?

Anyways, on my screenshots in the thread I made, it can read all my secondary NTFS partitions. Look on the right edge:



Not very hard, is it?

Quick question: do the background colors change?

soo like, you got a guide how to do this?..since you WERE the one to figure out how to do it specifically on the sentia..would be more helpful than directing us to the generic guides, THAT would make your rep boost worthy

As for your achievement, I actually just read a news article describing the exploits of enabling OSX on an x86 chip, and I find it remarkable, even if the initial stage so far requires an illegal download. Keep us updated if you don't mind.
Just so you know UNIX is not based of linux. linux is based off UNIX...

I think he said that.

He was saying, OSX is Unix-based, as is Linux, just in a very discombobulated way.

Thread Starter 
Update: various rosetta patches have been working = fully functional software and ability to install PPC compiled OSX software on SSE2 machines(read centrino)!!! have yet to get one working 4 me...yet
And broadcom wireless nics going too, no intels yet though

As for a guide heres a dirty version of what I'm doing:

Create 6.5+ gig NTFS partition

In already installed linux or live cd do:

fdisk /dev/hda
type 't'
select partition (2) //note this is the 2nd of 4 partitions on my hdd
enter the type (af)
type 'w' to write the partition table
reboot

get deadmoo's image(2+ gigs)--its out there
extract it =6+ gigs
I burned on DVD-dl but other options possible

in linux again cd to dir of uncompressed image then:

dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda2 bs=512 skip=63

//The skip causes it to skip the MBR which is on the image, reported not necessary but I can confirm this line works, bs=512 is a must

gedit /etc/grub.conf
and add:

title OSX
root (hd0,1)
map (hd0,1) (hd1,0)
map (hd1,0) (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

reboot to OSX
may need to 1st boot into safe mode using -x

admin name = deadmoo
admin password = bovinity

create new user w/ admin privs, log out n back into new user
delete deadmoo account

I then deleted all files starting with AppleIntel in the /System/Library/Extensions folder and you won't have to start with -x anymore, plus makes sound work

das it

remember this for sentia 244, some changes for 12" may be needed?

Hi, I was playing with this at the weekend - have you managed to get 1400x1050 resolution that is accelerated? Mine works in 1400x1050x32 but is not accelerated, doesnt support quartz extreme or core

Version 4 of the sse3->sse2 patch works a treat as does sound and networking. Just need video acceleration and wifi

Just found the files to enable native resolution, thread said still working on acceleration. Have yet to try files though. Did u just use the 830/915 modified kext's???

As for sse3->sse2, I tried 4.1 and it got all f'd up
Then I tried reinstalling and could not, seems there is a bug sumwhere w/ my version of install, may have found a solution, am working on the reinstall now.
If I can reinstall Im gunna retry the sse patch.

Did you use the extra files too, or just the mach kernel?, did u use deadmoo image or other install method?

Used deadmoo's image. all files from sse3->sse2 patch 0.4 (although I belive mach_kernel 0.4 contains a bug which is fixed in 0.41)
Modified the AppleIntegratedGraphics and 830 kext (but might try removing them for QE)

Broadcom working is not surprising as its the same chipset that apple uses.
