kamilrakowski Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Dell Inspiron 6000 Kernel Panic (rtclock_init) Fix Have you tried the BIOS setting POST - Auto and it didn't do anything? Well, after a little bit of research, I found a fix! When iPC and iDeneb wouldn't boot, I got truly annoyed. rtclock_init was kicking my ***! So I tried this little fib: BEFORE YOU BEGIN-- Disable Intel SpeedStep in BIOS, re-enable after installation! -- BEFORE YOU BEGIN Step 1- Find your Pentium M maximum clock speed (For me, 1.6 GHz) Step 2- Find the FSB clock speed (For me, 533 MHz) Step 3- Convert Pentium M max clock speed to MHz (Ex. 1.6GHz = 1600 MHz) Step 4- Subtract FSB clock speed from max clock speed in MHz (So 1,067 for me.) Step 5- Divide by 133. Round to nearest tenth (So, 8.) Step 6- Type busratio=(insert number here) into boot: prompt after pressing F8 on boot of DVD I had this laptop laying around, now I have a MacBook Pro AND a dell running 10.5.6! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
