]Hi I am trying to install Hazard Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my AMD Compaq 6715b I have windows 7, a disc and a NTFS partition of 30gb so I booted from disc and it says IOAPIC vectors 0x23 or something I researched it tried a lot then got told to use idle halt=0 this made me get to still waiting for root device. So I researched again. I then typed -v idlehalt=0 rd=disk0 and I got to a kernel panic. I have done some research but nothing has worked. Pic: Save then rotate in a picture viewer..

Any help?
Thanks. Also if you need system specs just ask I am typing from my iPod so I cannot c+p them. And there was no option in bios to do with my hdd.

Try anyone of these Bootflags, most probably it should work.

Try using:

-v PCIRoot=1 idlehalt=0

or

-v PCIRootUID=1 idlehalt=0

I would also advise you to try using a 10.6.3 retail disk and Nawcoms ModCD, distros spell disaster 9 out of 10 times.

Hi it hasnt worked.. I get still waiting for root device.. And also when it gets to the last usbf bit the disc stops spinning. Should I try retail and Nawcoms Mod CD? Also is there a tutorial for doing retail with Nawcoms for AMD machines?
Thanks

Yes and yes, there are many.

Link to a decent one? I will follow it exactly.

Also I would rather not burn another 2 discs is there a way to get past still waiting for root device, I haven't even installed it yet so it cant be my hdd problem. my laptops cd drive is IDE. Thanks again.
