I've done a few hackintoshes over the years. I happened upon a Dell R410 server and I'm thinking "why the heck not turn this into a bitchin' hackintosh workstation." ... eventually I'll get a true Mac-compatible PCI-X graphics card for it and some USB-sound card that works, but right now I just want to get it to boot.

So that's my project this weekend.

It has 12G of RAM, 2x E5504 CPUs (2 * quad core, 2Ghz) and 2x 500GB SATA drives

Right now I'm trying to get iATKOS L2 to boot from a USB stick using Chimera. I have the USB stick built correctly and the kernel begins to load, then panics. Look at the following screendump (iDRAC is nice for that) to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried a few different boot flags including CPUS=1 DSDT=no -f -v -x busratio=22 (in different permutations.) Each time I get the same panic (see attached.)

Any clues? Any other boot flags I can try?
