I tried to install Mac OS X 10.4 under PearPC, but the emulated computer will never even boot into the Mac OS X Install DVD successfully (always a prohibitory sign). After some attempts to install Mac OS X 10.4 under PearPC, which all only failed with a prohibitory sign before the Installer loads, I set prom_env_machargs to "-v", and this was the output of the emulated kernel on the next boot:

Is there any way to get past the infinite loop of "Still waiting for root device"?

Hi,

Would try a different hard disk file. I'm assuming your current file isn't formatted correctly.
Did you download a compressed one, llike this: http://www.emaculation.com/pearpc/macosx_6gb.rar

I extracted the blank hard disk image from http://www.emaculation.com/pearpc/macosx_6gb.rar and set this in the cfg file:
Code:
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_master_image = "macosx_6gb.img"
pci_ide0_slave_installed ="1"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "Mac OS X Install DVD.iso"


The problem when PearPC tries to boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD does not seem to be because of the hard drive.

Ah,

Dvd's are not/badly supported. You should be on the lookout for the 4 cd variant of the OSX 10.4 PowerPC version.
