It's an issue with the DVD, in the sense that your processor is working fine and the kernels on the DVD aren't designed for a Turion. The patch is being worked on. No, it's not done yet, and I don't have an ETA.

JaS, very sorry to say, but in the current form your DVD won't be usable for many people, esp. for those like me with Laptops: you have Semthex' 10.4.8 kernel load right @ DVD boot + 10.4.8 kexts incl. kextcache. There are two kexts that cause a kernel panic on many Notebooks as posted in the forums: IOPCCardFamily.kext and AppleHDA.kext.

I would edit the ISO myself and delete these kexts (because they are not necessary for install), but:
a. I am not sure where they are stored on the DVD for the boot process
b. I think just deleting them might not be enough because an appropriate kextcache most likely has to be created, too ..

I hope it is not too difficult for you to issue a ppf patch for this ..

Cheers,
Bugs.

Group: Members Posts: 44 Joined: 12-December 05 Member No.: 17,910	The SemtheX kernel doesn't seem to want to start for me (even with the fsb parameter). I keep getting stuck at the blue screen before the language choice is given. I'm burning the disk again at 2x (instead of 8x) to see if that was the problem... EDIT: looks like Bugs and I are having the same issue.

@ ptesone: would you please, as requested by the thread starter, keep this thread clean for people who have at least TRIED to install - there are other threads here in the forum where your questions are not stupid, as you confess yourself (because in this posting they really are kinda stupid ..

).

Thank you,
Bugs.

@ all: when Darwin Bootloader appears, hit F8, type -v to start the installer in verbose mode. That will give you stuff that fails to load, so we can report back to JaS more detailed.
