JaS has done some amazing work again!
He just released his 10.4.8 combo updates for Intel/AMD bundled in 4 packages.

  • 2 packages for Intel SSE2 only and SSE2/SSE3 users
  • 2 packages for AMD SSE2 only and SSE2/SSE3 users

This means you can update from any OS X 10.4.x to the latest JaS 10.4.8.
A full 10.4.8 DVD is to be expected soon… Stay tuned 🙂

Important note for Intel SSE3 users only:

If you get an error where you can’t get past the blue screen, just do this:
Boot with following options: -v -f -s -x then type in
mount -uw /
mv /system/library/exrensions/r2d2.kext /system/library/extensions/
and let it boot up in safe boot

If you got a GMA gfx card:

While in safe boot mode, mount the 10.4.6/10.4.7 JaS install DVD
Run the following package:
/System/Installation/Packages/10.4.7.GMA900.Support.pkg
Run Disk Utility, repair permissions and reboot.

If you run Pro applications:

Open 10.4.7 combo update (from apple)

Install the iokit.framework

Important note for Myzar DVD users:

You must apply the AMD combo packages only!
Even if you run on intel!

Make bootable clone with RSyncX

We are going to setup a bootable clone of your startup partition on another backup partition.
First, get the software, it’s just a GUI that enables easy backups with OS X out-of-the-box
command-line utility : rsync.

http://archive.macosxlabs.org/rsyncx/rsyncx.html

Setup a backup partition to hold ur bootable clone.

Be sure that ‘Ignore ownership on this volume’ is not checked. You can verify it by right-click on your backup partition, then expand ownership and Permissions.

Now fire up the RSyncX progie, it’s under Applications->Utility

Supposing that ur startup partition is called hackintosh-1 and your backup partition is called hackintosh-2, apply the following settings:

Fire the synchronise button.
After a while ur bootable clone should be done.
Please try to boot ur clone to test it. Just press F8 at boot and select ur backup partition.
To update ur clone, apply the same setup, but instead of ‘Archive’, select Update, so it will only copy the files that have changed. It’s much faster than doing a complete archive again.

Enjoy!
