I wonder why its connection is timing out?ĭarn, I was hoping what I’d be writing was a description of how I got it to work for me. Trying an strace shows it looping withĬlock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, ) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)Īfter that warning message. Or if I try with a new untouched system disk image or not. Even if I change ppccfg to use (or not) the CD image. I wonder what I did last night to get it to boot successfully (albeit without networking), but now whether I use PearPC 0.3.1 or the CVS version, it’s hanging at the same place. So I stick a random CD in the drive, and it gets past that-and back to the AppleMacIO warning. dev/cdrom: could not open file (No medium found)Īnd it exits. Event dropped.Īppearing a few times until I’m kind enough to stop moving the mouse any more. When I can get the CVS version of pearpc to boot, if I move the mouse while it’s booting I get It has pci_rtl8139_installed in its ppccfg. Back to pearpc 0.3.1, which does much better.
Main() caught exception: error executing ifconfig. osx/pearpc-cvs/scripts/ifppc_up: line 18: brctl: command not found osx/pearpc-cvs/scripts/ifppc_up: line 17: brctl: command not found osx/pearpc-cvs/scripts/ifppc_up: line 16: brctl: command not found Ppc0: error fetching interface information: Device not found Hmmm.Īnyway, now that I’m trying it again with networking enabled, I see Hmm, writing this now I realized that I never made my system enable IP forwarding. But after that, I wasn’t able to get it to show me that it had successfully used DHCP. In order to make lots of permissions problems not come up related to changes to the network device.Ĭhoosing Network under the System Preferences made a window pop up announcing that it saw the device. Then I switched to enable pci_rtl8139_installed that was a lot better, and even showed the device during the messages of the boot sequence. First enabling pci_3c90x_installed in my ppccfg, it never showed the device when I looked in System Preferences. I first had to make sure to doĬhown root /osx/pearpc-cvs/scripts/ifppc_upĬhmod g-w /osx/pearpc-cvs/scripts/ifppc_upĪs root to make PearPC be willing to actually use the script. The part to still solve: I can’t get networking to behave well yet.
PEARPC MAC OS X PANTHER INSTALL
The install went great, and I was able to run src/ppc ppccfg and see OS X boot up in the window. Almost gave up, but tried again-and it worked! I didn’t note the URLs, but I found a couple of places explaining how they got around this same problem just by quitting the Installer and running it again. It did well, but when I quit out of that, the Installer said “you cannot install Mac OS X on this volume”. So when I got it to boot and run the installer, and it was asking me what device to install it on (but showed no choices), I used Open Disk Utility from the Installer pull-down menu, clicked on the disk image (not the CD), on the Partition pull-down selected “1 Partition”, and then chose Partition. To be the image I created of the OS X install disk 1 CD. Pci_ide0_master_image = "/osx/myharddisk.img" I created my disk image withĭd if=/dev/zero of=myharddisk.img bs=516096 seek=12482 count=0Īnd pointed the ppc program to it with the line I changed prom_bootmethod to have the value select so I could pick the CD image by hand just in case.
PEARPC MAC OS X PANTHER ISO
My ppccfg file pointed at the ISO image I created from Elana’s first CD for installing Panther (Mac OS X v10.3). The CVS tree is able to boot off the ISO image of the CD, while 0.3.1 doesn’t even show it as existing. I had to use the CVS version of PearPC instead of 0.3.1, the last release sent out in September 2004. There was some mention of getting a preformatted hard drive image out of though I didn’t actually use this. The fact that others also offered ways to do all of this without first using a Darwin boot CD gave me some hope. However the ideas posed on the blog at Designspace (I can’t find a person’s name for attribution) suggested that this was a little too much and the Disk Utility available inside the installer itself would be enough. I tried a few times, but it kept freezing after the line Interestingly, they talk about using Darwin to partition a disk image (not a physical drive) for the installation.
PEARPC MAC OS X PANTHER HOW TO
The site has a plethora of goodies for you, including some nice easy instructions on how to do it. I’ve even had conversations with Elana and friends about switching over to a PowerBook sometime soon. For more than 20 years, I’ve been a big admirer of the Mac’s attention to detail in the user interface. With just a little effort, I was able to run Mac OS X on my Linux host. After reading it, and lots of experience with emulators and simulators over the years, it peaked my interest. In a copy of Linux Format magazine, they had an article by Richard Smedley called “What on Earth is…PEARPC”.
