Hello :)

I have a problem trying to get my PearPC to work. I keep getting an error saying;

FAILURE: DiskArbStart() -> 1102

What can I do? it wont even get to the installer.

Any Help would be appreciated.

THANKS :)

damn it, after moving that file, ppc wont boot up. i also didnt mack up my old one. oh well. there wasnt much in osx anyway.

did you change these lines to match what youre using?

pci_ide0_master_image = "D:\pearpc\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"

pci_ide0_slave_image = "D:\pearpc\OSX_CD1.iso"

might want to remove select from this line prom_bootmethod = "select" to just "". i changed it so i can choose if i want to boot from the hdd image or like a cd image

i've only change those, the ram, the resolution (put a # so can change resolutions in osx with sdl build. if youre not using the sdl build, remove the # from line #ppc_start_resolution = 7). the rest is the same as the one from emon's guide.

if anyones interested i'm making a visual step by step tutorila on how to Make your own hard drive image in the size of your choice, partition, install, and configure networking. Taking a while to snap then put together. Lemme know if it's all in vain, 'cause I don't want to waste my time on it if so.

Wow, this really is not as slow as I thought it would be. It is going to take some time to get used to OS X but so far so good. Pear PC is just amazing!

What about this error?

What does this mean?

And how about my problems here and here?

Did anybody even read it?

I just need some help, although I am not sure anymore if the problem is a networking problem or if it's this strange error stated above:

Can't find boot file!

Any help is appreciated!

Post your config file here.

Also the actual file names of the hard drive image and iso.

OK I am going to try to help. Lets go over some of the simple things first. Make sure PearPC is in a directory like C:/PearPC and not in a bunch of subdirectories. Ok then make sure your HD image and iso file are named correctly in your config file. As far as my boot method I use "prom_bootmethod = "select"". If any of these suggestions don't help. Please post your config file.

Thanks

Woohoo!

I got it working! I changed some values in the config file and now it works!

Actually I set the boot method to "auto", then I played around with my slave drive files (I enabled the OS X Install CD1) and enabled the Realtek network adapter.

Then, suddenly it worked. It must be a miracle!

But I got another question regarding PearPC:

Can you adjust the RAM to 768MB RAM and what is the hex equivalent to 768?
