andrewenglish Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hi all, I am a long time reader and first time poster. I know you guys here are overwhelmed with a bunch of people going "KERNEL PANIC!?!??!!?!!1112 WHAT DO I DO" and I'm really trying hard not to be that person. I can generally fix KP's and the like just by reading all the guides on the websites and such, but this one has me stumped, I didn't even know what to search for in order to solve it. Here goes: I installed iAtkos S3 (10.6.3) on my machine: Evga X58 SLi LE Core i7 @ 4 GHz 3GB GSkill 13333 DDR3 ATi HD4890 @ 1GHz WD VelociRaptor @ 10,000 RPMs 2x 80GB seagate drives (OSX was installed on one of them) BIOS: HPET - enabled - 64 bit Drives set to AHCI Sleep set to S3 C1E/SpeedStep off I forgot my BIOS rev, but if you need it I can post it up. Through iAtkos I installed with default settings (fake smc, disabler, /extra, RTC) and video kexts, but I didn't install the sound kexts because the first time I tried them they didn't work. So, after the install, everything boots up fine, only an SMC error when I boot verbose. I get full graphics/quartz, etc. The only thing I don't have is sound. I can reboot as much as I want and it will start without issue. But, once I install a kext, I can't get back into the OS! Doesn't matter if the kext works or not, I simply cannot boot back into the OS! The boot just hangs (see attached picture please!) even after i delete the kext I just installed / repair permissions blah blah blah, I still can't get back into the OS. I'm stumped >:[. Anyways, I would really appreciate any input, as I really want to get SL working here! And now for the photo: Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewenglish Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oh, and if it helps, I am tri-booting Linux 10.04/Windows 7/OSX 10.6.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewenglish Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Alright, well unfortunately nobody has any help, so I guess I'll post my solution here so if someone else encounters a problem, they can have a solution: Do a retail install. Simple as that. http://osx86.net/f57/guide-evga-x58-snow-l...d-10-6-2-t3854/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
