MAc OS X Server Tiger on PearPC

Post by tobi »

Hello all,

i have some trouble with PearPC 0.5 and my Mac OS X Server Tiger 10.7 (Universal) dvd. I have made an image of the dvd and have choosen the bootloader to "select". I can see the partiton when I start up, but when I want to boot from it, PearPC just quits. What can I do? Is the problem because of the Server Edition or because of the DVD-image?

Please help me.

Thanks a lot for all help incoming.

If this is important:


I use Windows 7 x64bit. The Tiger-Image is an iso-data. And here is a copy of my config-file:


## 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 = "1024x768x32"

##
## Set this to non-zero for turning on fullscreen mode on startup.
##

ppc_start_full_screen = 0

##
## 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 = 10

##
## Key codes
##

key_compose_dialog = "F11"
key_change_cd_0 = "none"
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" [ADVANCED USERS ONLY], 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 (G3)
## Set to 0x000c0000 to enable G4 emulation
## Only change if you know want you are doing
##

cpu_pvr = 0x000c0000


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

memory_size=0x40000000

##
## 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
##
## Valid drive types are:
## hd: A hdd image should be specified
## e.g. "test/imgs/linux.img"
## cdrom: A cdrom image should be specified
## For Linux or BeOS a cdrom device can be specified as well
## e.g. "/dev/cdrom"
## nativecdrom: Platform dependant
## Win (SPTI): drive letter, e.g. "d:\"
## Win (ASPI): SCSI host adapter,target,lun e.g. "2,0,1"
## BeOS (ATAPI): device path, e.g. "/dev/disk/ide/atapi/0/master/0/raw"

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

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "tiger.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"

Hii,

Pearpc is a PowerPC emulator. You cannot boot Intel Mac OSX versions with it.
The highest version of OSX it will boot is Tiger PPC.

Best,
