naddy69 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 This is a common, known problem. Check out this thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...7288&st=100 for answers. Basically you need AppleAPIC.kext from 10.4.8 or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceetooo Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 err... get AppleAPIC.kext for 10.4.8 from herehttp://www.mediafire.com/?fg30wsscs43 I really didn't want to say, but: niket_304: copy 'AppleAPIC.kext' to /System/Library/Extensions s.sajit: copy 'AppleSMBIOS.kext' to /System/Library/Extensions the kext needs to replace the one already inside /System/Library/Extensions, then you need to change ownership & permissions on it. to replace stuff: drag & drop, when the computers tells you 'hey, there's already one of these inside this directory, do you want me to replace it?' say yes... If you know what you're doing you can modify a disk image, burn & see if it works... Myself, I prefer installing to a partition using VMWare, then work my way up from there... Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagosu Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thank you sooo much for all of your help, I would've NEVER been able to solve this. Now, to make sure I understand correctly: - Open 10.4.8.dmg with Pacifist and get the "AppleAPIC.kext" and "AppleSMBIOS.kext" - Open 10.4.9.dmg with Pacifist and replace the kexts with the 10.4.8 version - Burn 10.4.9 - Install with the modified DVD and pray that it will work Thanks again for such great help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceetooo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) OSX86MX, you've said it soo much better than I ever could! on windows you might want to use shareware like ultraiso, magiciso or blazeiso, & in linux ISO Master is pretty good! I've no idea if these programs actually work ok with the mac filesystem inside the iso, though. OSX86MX's method should be the safest one. Might also want to burn the new iso to a DVD-RW instead of DVD-R, so you can reuse the disc for a new project afterwards... Thanks OSX86MX!

fagosu Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 You're Welcome ceetoo, your suggestion of using DVD-RW instead of DVD-R is going to save us from making a lot of coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuxplorer Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hey I'm getting the same error. This is the first time I'm trying OSx86 or rather OS X. I've never seen OS X before, I downloaded Uphuck 1.3. Now since I'm on Windows, how do I replace the kext files on the OS X DVD. In Windows Explorer, the OS X contents do not show.

MaxsX Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi All, I got the same problem with my Intel D945GCNL mainboard. It freezes exactly at the "ACPI:System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3)". After strugling all night, I left it alone and tried to install it at the next day morning. It worked..... I don't know what it made work.....! Even after installation, it stop right at the same point if I restart it from Windows. If I want to boot Mac, I have to shutdown windows and switch off my UPS (Yes it is the the UPS, basically disconnecting power to the computer). Then it starts normally. I don't know whether is there a way to make this permanantly fixed. But when i restart from Mac OS it self, I do not need to switch off power. Really don't know why this happens....!

pfitz321 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 hey MaxSx, i have the same board. upon the initial installation my ethernet worked right off the bat and then it magically stopped. did you install a kext or something? does your system show an ethernet (e0) and an Airport although i dont have any wireless card? also a quick question to anyone, my system is a core 2 duo but shows up as core 2 solo, what up with that?

My ethernet is working but it does not show any Airport. But normal PCI cards such as my modem is not detected. I think its a problem with PCI bridge itself.
