kjp4756 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I have the lion esd dmg restored to the first partition on an external usb hdd. I then installed chameleon r1096 to the external drive. When booting to the USB drive, chameleon will load, I then select the ESD partion to boot. I immediately get a kernel panic. Something along the lines of "platform not supported acpi". I even tried installing the Extra DP5.pkg to the external drive and the same kernel panic will happen. Putting my DSDT in the Extra folder doesn't seem to help either. Any tips for getting around this? Specs: Intel i5 1156 P7P55D w/ 2003 BIOS 8GB PC1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooSee Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 is ' AHCI ' Option enabled in BIOS and did you have a ' HPET ' Option in your BIOS ? if yes change to ' 64bit ' ! maybe this will help, just guessing ! CooSee ' Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjp4756 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 I don't see HPET in the BIOS any where. AHCI is already enabled. Snow Leopard and Leopard installation have always worked great. Come to think of it, I did not have 8GB RAM when I installed Snow Leopard. I only had 4GB at the time. I will see if going to 4GB will help. UPDATE: Going down to 2GB RAM didn't change anything.

CooSee Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 did you used this Guide ? Lion USB Method ! i assume ' OpenHaltRestart.kext ' is to OLD and not used anymore IMHO ! there's no need because it's controlled by Chameleon ! and boot with ' -v ', so you can see what going on at booting ! you can also ask @MaLd0n for a DSDT file for your System and i've never got problems with 8GB, on any Install !

kjp4756 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yes, that is the guide I used. I boot with -v but that didn't provide more info. I got the exact same screen as posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0n3S7arW0lf Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'm having the same issue on my P7P55D Deluxe board! I did a clean install (Just burned the ESD.dmg to a dvd) on my MacBook Pro then cloned the drive. I have had success this way before and NEVER with any other install method. I normaly use tonymacx86 [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] after. I have tried removing everything extra connected to the Mobo (just the ram, graphics card, HDD) with no success I have also dropped my DSDT.aml curently used on 10.6.8 in the cloned drive in Extra/ I boot with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] verbose safe mode as there is no "Chameleon" installed yet all goes well except the same error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooSee Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 you should explaine your problem on the USB install thread ! MaLd0n can maybe Help ! remove OpenHaltRestart.kext and try again CooSee ' Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjp4756 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Ok I deleted the Extensions.mkext from /Extra. I still get the same kernel panic only the garbage about OpenHaltRestart.kext isn't there. I was using the mkext from the DP4 Extra.pkg mentioned in that USB install post. It must've been referencing OpenHaltRestart.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooSee Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 no offence , but maybe you did something wrong ?! try it again and format your USB-HD again, too ! are you sure you've got the real current GM version ? CooSee ' Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjp4756 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 You were right, I did something wrong. I was an idiot and restore the Mac OS Install ESD to my USB drive instead of the Base System DMG. Everything appears to be working now. I'm typing this from Lion now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
