this is sorta fun

it took FOREVER for the BSD kernel to mount the cdrom... i had to reboot like 10 times and eventually just throttled the processor back to like half speed...

anyone else on here ever tried this?

judging from the installer, it's actually surprisingly responsive... this is a 300MHz wallstreet w/ 192MB ram and a 40GB HD (you can only use an 8GB partition for the boot drive due to limitations of the old world ROM)

Why did you have to reboot and throttle the processor to mount the drive?

And how do you even throttle the processor on a wallstreet?

And don't the wallstreets require XPostFacto to boot OS X past like 10.2?

yes, you have to use xpostfacto past 10.2, apple dropped support for all models that didn't have USB ports in 10.3

you have to throttle the processor because the wallstreets are strange when it comes to mounting IDE devices for some reason... it's honestly more luck than anything else, but throttling helps some.

the throttling is an option in XPF.



i got it to install ok (yay!) but on reboot it kernel panic'd while loading a SCSI kext... even though there are no SCSI devices in this system... *sigh*

i'm thinking it might be easier to just stick 10.2 on here and maybe try to upgrade later

anyone have a 10.2 cd set?
