ive burnt the image to a DVD but while its booting it just hangs after a while and then reboots...

Ive never seen anyone on insanelymac or here with the same problem.

My computer:

AMD 3500+ (SSE2 only)
ABIT AN8 (nForce 4 ultra)
nvidia geforce 6800gt

Author Update #1 @paperless 2008-01-20

i read somewhere id need to have mac installed to inject stuff in an iso right?

Author Update #2 @paperless 2008-01-20

Ok ill look into it.

But why do i have to do this? I Thought it was for both, sse2 and sse3.

Author Update #3 @paperless 2008-01-21

well i thought i had no blank dvd-rs anymore but i found one in the mess of cds and dvds i have.

im gonna search for it..i hope they can help me in that irc channel.

No luck on irc, ive got a JaS 10.4.8 DVD (tiger :S), can i take the SSE2 kernel from there and inject it into this DVD's iso?

EDIT: NVM

After a search around here i found a link to it .

Ill let everyone know how it went, promise.

Author Update #4 @paperless 2008-01-21

Sorry for double posting..

It didnt work, it got farther than where it used to hang and restart but then it reached a point where it just wouldnt move..

Some of the log messages that apeared before it reached that stage:

SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed and a bunch of bla bla bla.. it shows this a bunch of times, then advance, then did it again, then advance, then stopped after some other errors:

disksk3s3: I/O error.

Was it a problem burning the image? Im out of DVDs now... ive installed tiger that i already had on DVD just to get the feeling of having mac os again.

Author Update #5 @paperless 2008-01-21

the file wasnt called mach_sse2 so i just replaced the mach_kernel that was there for the new one.

It aparently didnt work, theres always the possibility of bad burn but..

Author Update #6 @paperless 2008-01-22

well yeah then it is probably a burn problem..i just dont have any more dvds to try it on

Field Note #1 @roisoft 2008-01-20

Inject into the ISO a SSE2 kernel with transmac, you can find it in the irc.osx86.hu #10.5 room

Field Note #2 @1207FX 2008-01-20

riosoft, can I put pc_efi_v80 into ISO with transmac as well?

Field Note #3 @roisoft 2008-01-20

@ paperless Transmac is for windows, open the iso and replace the mach_kernel with the sse2 kernel, burn and install.

@ 1207FX Yes, you can try copy pc_efi_v80 folder to the ISO root, open a terminal and install.

Field Note #4 @roisoft 2008-01-21

The mach_kernel of rev 1 is only for SSE3 not for SSE2

Field Note #5 @drhhitman 2008-01-21

paperless: i have the exact same setup as you almost perfect replica, same mainboard and cpu and videocard... let me know how you went so i can do the same.

Regards,
drhhitman

edit: i should also state that i am having the same issue as yourself.

Field Note #6 @drhhitman 2008-01-21

hmm so downloading the mach_sse2 then renaming it to mach_kernel and injecting it into the downloaded image did not work? or did you just delete mach_kernel and inject the new file as mach_sse2?

Field Note #7 @roisoft 2008-01-21

delete the ss3 kernel and replace for the new one, the name must be "mach_kernel"

"SAM Multimedia" is for a bad burn, you must reburn the ISO
