holden caulfield Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) I'm the noob of all noobs, - but I had the "unable to find drivers for this platform: ACPI" when I tried **** as well - (dell inspiron 8600) - but I tried **** and it installed correctly --- I know it sucks to have to download another huge file - - but if you download the .dmg, it is about a gig less in size and its quite simple to convert to an iso and patch it up yourself - - thats what I did after I had a similiar error, and the install, though sloooow, was problem free at the end.

Korrupted Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 So this has no solution..? *sigh..* Time to spend the next week re-downloading.. Edit: No need to whine, I got bittorrent to work great for me. Also, can anyone elaborate on what that ACPI error means anyway? I'm curious to know.

jbjonas Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 basically, there is poor ACPI support for our hardware, since Apple developed this OS to be run specifically on hardware of their choosing. See my posts here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qckslvr Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 U can try instalin it after disabling acpi from the bios that might do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Bear Helms Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 My chief problem with 10.4.4 is that it complains about ACPI, and regardless of me saying platform=X86PC or ACPI, it just stonewalls me right there and then. ACPI is a power management scheme, but the presence of my floppy controller also contributes to the issue. If you can disable stuff in your BIOS, go with a "failsafe" configuration and see if you can get past the starting gate there. Then slowly turn on BIOS features until you find one that buggers your boot process. And let us know about the buggers. We're all stuck in our personal trenches here.

frinchkin Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I actually posted another thread on this topic but no one has replied (suprise). I have an asus a8n-vm. It's a 'budget' 939 and though I can run 10.4.1 native I have to use one of the switches (x86pc|acpi) to get it running but it does run and very fast. I've had no luck at all with 10.4.3 and up because I get the 'unable to find driver for this platform acpi jazz'. I've tried latest bios update, disabling everything in the bios at one time or another and no luck. I know it's not a disk isssue as I can take the same HD (with 10.4.3) and throw it into an old p4 and it will get into the gui screen-although it won't run because I only have 128mgs of ram. So basically I'm stuck but it seems that only a select few mobos are caught in this trench. I'm suprised no one has been able to figure this one out. Then again I don't know jacksh&t about what changed in the kernel from 10.4.1 to now. It is interesting to point out that Linux users seem to be having acpi issues with this mobo as well.

fishkorp Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I got the kernel panic with the ACPI driver error on boot of the patched 10.4.4 install DVD. I replaced the mach_kernel file in the patch /files directory with the kernel compiled that doesn't need NX support, rebuilt the image and now the installer boots. I didn't try to fully install since I had to get going to work. I'm going to attempt a full install tonight though. If you're getting the ACPI error try replacing the mach_kernel in your image before burning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frinchkin Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I actually tried different kernels with 10.4.3 and still received the same error so I'm thinking I'll probably get the same thing with .4.4 but if you can get it to run native after install let us know.
