Tiger won't install!

Post by PearBabe »

I get up to the part of the installation and it says "This software cannot be installed on this computer". I don't know why it is saying that. It is Tiger 10.4.3 And I am running it in PearPC Please help.

I saw somewhere that you must use the "cdrom" image like a hardisk . It did not work see my cfg file. Maybe this will be work for you . Make a notice that the size of your image must be multiply by 504kb oe 504*1024 bytes.There are a lot of risizers like: PearPC-HD-Resizer-0.21.jar.

my config file

ppc_start_resolution = "1024x768x32"
redraw_interval_msec = 40
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "hd1.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_master_image = "boot.img"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "hd"
pci_3c90x_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"
memory_size = 0x20000000
pci_usb_installed = 1
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
prom_env_machargs = ""
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_bootmethod = "auto"
key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"
key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"
nvram_file = "nvram"

Try to see best whises....

I read that it doesn't work with a mac mini disc which is what I have. So I guess I'm out of luck. Thanks for your help though.
