Problem with installation (pics inside)

Post by CookieKid »

I've been working at this for hours and still can't figure it out. Any help would be great!

Here's my cfg:

Code: Select all

## PearPC Configuration File

##
## Start Resolution
##
## (clients that use video.x can change the resolution at runtime,
##  so this would be used only for starting up)
##
##	format:  "(width)x(height)x(depth)"
##	    or   "(width)x(height)x(depth)@(frequency)"
##
##	depth can only be 15 or 32
##
##	default: "800x600x15"
##

ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x15"

##
## Redraw interval (in ms)
## must be between 10 and 500
##
## If you set this higher, PearPC will spend less time doing redraws (and so run faster)
## but feel less responsive. You should adjust this to your computer speed and personal
## preference.
##

redraw_interval_msec = 40

##
## Key codes
##

key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"

key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"


##
## Loader 
##

##
##	Boot method
##	  this can be
##	  1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
##	  2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions
##	  3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile
##

prom_bootmethod = "select"

## Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "force"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

##
##	bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
##	machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
##

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = "-v"

##
##	This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X
##
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

## This will adjust the position of the initial page table (don't change)

#page_table_pa = 104857600

##
## CPU Config
##
##	Processor Version Register
##	Defaults to 0x00088302
##	Only change if you know want you are doing
##

#cpu_pvr = 0x00088302


##
## Main memory (default 128 MiB)
## must be >= 64 MiB
##

#memory_size=0x8000000

##
## IO Devices
##

##
##	PCI IDE Config
##
##	Drive type will be set according to file extension:
##		.img: Harddisk (filesize must be multiple of 516096)
##		.iso: CD-Rom
##	Or you can override this by specifying the type via
##	pci_ide0_master_type / pci_ide0_slave_type

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "hdd.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "macosx.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

##
##	Network
##
##	Choose one of the cards

pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

##
##	USB
##
pci_usb_installed = 1

##
##	NVRAM
##
nvram_file = "nvram"

The tiger iso is not bootable, at least it wasn't till 2 days ago.
There is a tutorial on how to install Tiger in the forum, search for it.

You could also build pearpc yourself. I believe the dvd issue has been resolved in the latest source. If you can't do that, look for a new build with the dvd patch.

Thanks for the quick reply. I found your guide on how to install Tiger but it requires that PPC has Panther running. Is there a way for me to "clean" install it?

Can you elaborate on this? I'm fairly new with PPC.

On linux, many people build their own pearpc executables.
This is also possible using a linux-like environment on Windows, named Cygwin.

If you don't want the hassle, just stay with pre-build executables.
Some sources are:

http://www.prasys.net.tc/
http://richardgoodwin.com/wp/cvsbuilds.php
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

Your best bet right now for a up-to-date build that might support your dvd iso is richard goodwin's site.
